Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"Thank you, Angela for providing a beautiful solo performance at my aunt's funeral earlier this month. At very short notice you provided me with a bespoke programme of traditional Irish melodies played before the service. And you even learned a rare Irish tune to play at the end of the service that my aunt loved. All our family and friends in the congregation were so moved. Thanks once again - we were lucky to find you. regards Marion"

"Very many thanks to your lovely band who played at my party on Saturday night - we all had a great time and the band sounded wonderful. Could you also thank the caller (I'm terribly sorry I can't remember her name) who coped with a tough crowd admirably - she had to deal with folk who knew very well what they were doing, complete novices and everything in between, along with some wee ones. She did a grand job, thank you."

"We were absolutely delighted. The whole thing was 'just right' and exactly what we were hoping for, including the type of dances and the calling. I have been receiving only positive feedback about it all. In fact our members are saying that it's the best Spring Celebration we've ever had. The non-dancers enjoyed it too as they were happy just listening to the music and watching the rest of us prancing about. Well done and thanks to all of you, Jackie (Chair of Brunswick, West Hove & Portslade U3A) March 2017."

"The Shooglers were incredible for our wedding reception. The Ceilidh calling was fantastic and the mix of Ceilidh folk and rock/pop beats was just amazing. The entire dance floor filled so fast! Not only were the Ceilidh tunes good the band also played some brilliant Beatles covers near the end after my wife and I spoke to them about how much we loved the Beatles. We now have lifetime memories on the dance floor from our wedding. Thank you so much to Davie and the guys from The Shooglers, you are awesome! "

"Lisa did the music in the church for our wedding. I gave her a list of songs I wanted, some of them she didn't know but was willing to learn for our big day. She was very helpful at filling in the bits I had neglected and selected some beautiful pieces of music. Although the day is a bit of a blur to me, everyone still comments on how amazing the music was. She also sang our first dance with the band which was very special. I think the band would have kept her all night! I'd highly recommend her. "

"Dear Helen, David and I don't know how to thank you and your colleagues enough for your absolutely brilliant contribution to our wedding reception. Everyone was raving about how great you were, and I can't count how many times I said, in response to how I found you; "The best ever result of days of google searching" I think that I told you this before, but I listened to so many clips of bands, and it took me about 30 seconds of listening to you to know that you were the right people for the wedding of two musicians, whose guest list was chock full of musicians! I have an absolutely hilarious video of my 7 year old niece going crazy to your music, which I would be happy to send along if you would like. She is officially your biggest fan, and loudly declared that evening "That music makes this the BEST WEDDING EVER!!!" Please could you pass along our admiration and gratitude to the rest of the band? I hope that we will meet again someday, but until then, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. With much appreciation and best wishes, Carrie-Ann and David"

"We had an amazing time and everyone has said how much they enjoyed it. Even a couple of friends who were very sceptical of Ceilidhs were won over and had a great time! One of my American friends who had no experience of folk music just walked up to me and said 'This is the best thing since....just the best'."

"Hello. I was at Nicky and Elliot’s wedding in Lunga the other week and I just wanted to say what a fantastic job you did! I have never heard such a great band and I wanted to know if you sold CDs as I would love to buy one but can’t find one on your website. Many thanks! "

"Many thanks to The Rib Ticklers for helping us raise money at our charity event for The Injured Jockeys Fund. They were brilliant and kept a wide age range of people on their feet all night. Couldn't have asked for better. Great people to deal with, looking forward to next time.Would thoroughly recommend."

"A “big thank you” to the band for a wonderful, memorable day that made our wedding day unforgettable! Everyone enjoyed the music and the dancing. Even the left footed miseries got up to have a go, driven by your music and the attitude of the band. Pete particularly loved “The Greenfields of France” and “The Tweed”. He’s been singing them for days, driving me crazy! We can’t think of any one else that would have made our day so wonderful, (except Rod Stewart in person for Sue!), so thank you once again. It would not have been the same without you all! We look forward to seeing you soon. Meanwhile, keep up the good work!"

"We were lucky to have Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band at our wedding in Devon last week. Fantastic band, beautiful music. Such a fun ceilidh that got everyone involved and made our wedding really special! It really fitted in with the relaxed atmosphere we wanted for our wedding. Thank you so much. We would really recommend! "

"Hi Phil! I just wanted to say a massive thank you from me and on behalf of Female Voice Choir. You guys were amazing and everyone had a wonderful time! You really made our event and I can’t thank you enough! You will definitely be my first port of call for any future ceildih and I look forward to hearing you play again. Thank you again! Kind regards, Meg"
