"Bagtastic were a breath of fresh air. I attend and organise many large prestigious dinners and must confess that it can sometimes feel a little samey with corporate entertainment. This was not the case with Bagtastic and I would go as far as to say that they were the highlight of our evening at Gleneagles. There approach was fresh, current and such fun. None of the guests had heard of Bagtastic prior to the event but they definitely left a lasting impression on them all. They were simply outstanding, in fact I am already looking for an occasion to book them again."

"We had an absolutely fantastic wedding party with The Blue Suede Shoes providing the music. The band created a great atmosphere straight away, and had everyone up dancing with their excellent range of songs! Communication was brilliant from start to finish. We would definitely recommend The Blue Suede Shoes to anyone looking for a wonderful night of music!"

"Just want to say thank you for Thursday. It was a very special moment for everyone especially Antony's family. It was very moving. Can you thank the lads for me as I never got round to it. Was nice to meet them briefly. Thanks again Darral"

"We have now had the pleasure of hiring Gary's Caribbean Steel Drum Band on two occasions. On both occassions our guests were very impressed, as were we and I would not hesitate to recommend them. Their music is "happy" music and with it comes the "sunshine" even though it was a rainy Saturday in May 2012. Thank you for making my husband's birthday party one to remember."

"We had Mike and Dave at our wedding celebrations and they were fantastic - especially with it being the hottest day of the year! They arrived with plenty of time to setup, were accommodating to some last minute timing changes and left everything clean and tidy afterwards. The music was great and they are both very talented musicians. The volume level was good for the hall we were in, not being too loud inside but guests out in the garden could hear them perfectly too. We've had lots of positive feedback from guests who attended about them and how good they were."

"Absolutely stellar band! We booked Ceol Beag for our evening entertainment at our postgraduate research conference. We enquired about a month before (so pretty last minute!) and got a quick response with flexible availability. They showed up near an hour before they were due to start and were left to setup themselves while we managed the other side of the event. The band themselves are lovely people, and the caller helped motivate our attendees and direct them on what to do, which was a massive help considering we had a large number of international students in attendance. Everyone who attended loved the ceilidh and asked for another one next year. It was rated the best part of the event. Definitely recommend Ceol Beag!"

"This is a fabulous wedding band - they performed for our silver wedding anniversary party on 30 August 2019. Talented musicians with a brilliant front man - can’t remember his name (sorry) but he is a fantastic character - so charismatic and fun (and sexy!), he got the whole crowd up, singing and dancing. They were 100% reliable and professional - exactly what you need when you are planning (aka stressing about) an event. Everyone loved them and they’re still talking about them weeks later. Highly recommended for sure!!!!"

"What a great group!! Played perfectly at my wedding and Jon produced us a beautiful video with some great shots! Couldn’t recommend them enough!! We were lucky to hear them play before lockdown...make sure you book them for a huge celebration once it’s all over!! They were also complimented beautifully by Alex Tan who sang our first dance choice better than I could have dreamt! And I had the best time of my life dancing to my guilty pleasure!! (Even if I did dance to the wrong beat!) Thank you will never be enough! You guys are great! Well done!"
