"Amazing performance and so easy to book and host. Contact was so easy leading up to the event, and was made so much simpler by them liaising with the reception event location directly to sort out logistics. The Ceilidh itself was incredible and just what my wife and I wanted! Great music and fantastic calling, Jake was so friendly and involved everyone in all the dances, which is just the inclusive atmosphere we wanted. They were also really accommodating when (inevitably) plans ran behind a little bit by the evening and the Ceilidh start needed nudging back 10 mins - which helped us out massively. Thoroughly recommend, had plenty of our guests asking who they were and where we found them!"

"I was captivated by Danny's music! We heard him sing in Congleton over a year ago, and felt immediately that he would be the perfect singer for the wedding. How right we were! He sang as she walked down the aisle.... beautiful. His choice of songs throughout the afternoon was absolutely spot on, as the guests made a point of telling me. Thank you, Danny, for your immeasurable contribution to our day. Perfect. "

"Kip and his band are brilliant, this is the second time we have booked them and we certainly weren’t disappointed. Super easy to book, with clear communication. Kip and his band managed the combination of small children and tipsy adults extremely well. We loved the special dance for us the bride and groom! All dances were different and fun. Highly recommend 👍🏼 "

"Could not recommend Unwritten Duo enough! Jo and James performed for 2 consecutive days at our wedding at Château Challain and they were absolutely brilliant each time! Their vocals and guitar playing are fantastic and they sing such a great range of songs. All of our guests commented how much they loved their singing and they are also truly lovely people! After their performance on the Saturday cocktail hour they even ended up being welcomed into our party and they joined the dance floor! Thank you both so much, you made our wedding unforgettable!"

" Davie, I just wanted to contact you to say, ‘thank you VERY much, indeed’ to you and your band members for performing last Friday evening at the annual Grange Dyvours Tennis Club ‘Snow Ball’ and making it the tremendous success that it was. I have been to many weddings, ceilidhs and parties over the years and danced to many bands and I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that ‘The Shooglers’ stand head and shoulders above the rest. Who would have thought that weaving in Pink Floyd and Deep Purple tracks in the middle of a Dashing White Sergeant would have worked but it did! You were an absolute pleasure to deal with, before our event; you all drove a considerable distance to arrive, at exactly the time requested, to set up all your equipment then, after our dinner, you returned to put on the most amazing performance. Some of our (non-Scottish) members had never danced some of the dances before but you made sure to talk everyone through what was expected, as a warm up, before the mayhem began. My face was sore laughing, at the end of some of those dances. Just brilliant. Our ‘Snow Ball’ on Friday evening was an astounding success and we have you to thank for that. Absolutely first class. P.s. Also, thanks for taking our booking for our ball, next Christmas. I wanted to get in quick to secure you as I know how much in demand you are! "

"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for the ceilidh on Saturday night. You and Sarah were fantastic and thank you for getting everyone up and dancing. So many people have told us it was the most fun they’ve ever had at a wedding! Thank you also for letting us borrow your equipment to play music for the rest of the night."

"I am writing to say how grateful I am to all of you for playing and organising the barn dance for my birthday. It made for a great evening and everyone joined in and enjoyed the occasion. The evening could not have gone better."

"Booked them for my wedding reception Oct 2017. To be honest, they were really quite rude, especially Mick who led it. They arrived grumpy, ate loads of the food without asking, complained a lot, and one of them went around grabbing our guests to get them to dance. I don't consider myself fussy... but I expected more as a paying customer on my wedding day. Music was good to be fair though."

"Arrived on time and had set up as instructed. Dress code was very good and very appropriate for my father's funeral. The capability of the duo was excellent, and was played with feeling, all round was excellent, couldn't fault them."

"We recently hired It's No' Reel Ceilidh Band for our wedding and were extremely pleased. Right from the beginning, communicating with the band was easy and stress free. The band arrived on time and set up without disturbing our reception in the next room. The band played exceptionally and everyone had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great band!"
