"I would like to say a big thank you for your really entertaining set you did at our folk club last month. I can't remember when I enjoyed so much a performance at our club. It was very special. You guys have got a lot of talent."

"BM Ceilidh were excellent! They pitched it right for our inexperienced group, getting among us to ensure we were right and keeping steps fairly straight forward. Additionally, they were very good at trying to keep us on track with timings when we stopped for food as well as playing while we talked and recovered between dances"

"​Katie and I just wanted to drop you a quick note to pass on our thanks to the guys for this Saturday at Cote How as it was an absolutely brilliant evening, and everyone had a great time. The guys from the band were brilliant and couldn’t have been more helpful on the night and were really nice all round personally too. Needless to say, we had a mixture of amateurs, those who have done quite a view barn dances and then the down right dreadful (think that’s the group I was in "

"I booked Nashville Nights Duo for my garden party and they were absolutely fantastic! Their harmonies were beautiful, the setlist had something for everyone, and they created such a fun, feel-good atmosphere. All of my guests commented on how amazing they were and how much they enjoyed the music. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again for another event – highly recommended!"

"What an amazing band! I’ve heard bands which are great at the Scottish ceilidh stuff but not very good at any other styles. I’ve heard bands which are great at pop/rock/country/indie covers but couldn’t play a ceilidh dance to save their lives. You guys are amazing! You can play all the Scottish ceilidh stuff AND make it rocky AND play all these other styles from pop to rock to country to whatever! Amazing! "

"The new fox band was utterly brilliant! I have been to a few weddings with ceilidhs, and I can happily say that thanks to the new fox band, ours was the best! At the start of the night a few guests were unsure about it, or felt embarrassed or awkward, but thanks you the warm and gentle encouragement, and the clear and easy to follow calling by the band, after their first swing, most people were hooked, and by the end of the night everyone was talking about how much fun they had. To top it all off, they sound bloomin marvelous too! Thanks new fox band, for making it a night to remember ?"

"What a wonderful band. They absolutely nailed. Wonderful musicianship, amenable and flexible attitude with my ideas; they simply wanted to do their best to make it as good as they could. They deservedly got great applause from my appreciative guests. The caller, Geoff, also - for a reasonable extra charge - will entertain the kids and/or do some conjuring. His balloons were a huge hit; children running around having fun so the adults could enjoy the eve without being nagged by bored children. Also, during the dancing, Geoff came out with the occasional witty comment about me and the 'do' that were right on the money. I just cannot thank them enough not just for making it a wonderful evening, but wanting to make it a wonderful evening. What can I say? Well, as I started this review: What a wonderful band! "

"The Blaggers' music was irresistibly danceable. Their energetic and extremely skilled performance created a highly festive air. Their interpretations of folk music were as original as it was entertaining. I would not hesitate in recommending this hugely professional band. "

"A big thanks to Mike and the rest of the band for a brilliant evening. Everyone has said how much they thoroughly enjoyed it. A special thank you to Alan, the dance caller. He did a great job - quite a comedian! Finally a big thanks to the band for welcoming our fiddle-playing friend Richard into their ranks for the evening. He said he had a fantastic time. What a great party band the guys make! I'm very happy to recommend them to anyone having a bash. "

"The ladies were all extremely talented, each offering several instruments, needless to say we were very impressed. The music was a good combination of Ceilidh and contemporary, as we have requested, they did not disappoint. Thank you again for a successful evening."

"Thank you so much again for last night, everyone had a blast and Simon and I couldn't be happier! You were so good at gauging when to play what, and getting people back on the dance floor over and over again! A lot of the guests had never danced a ceilidh (as it was obvious! ?) and you managed to keep everybody on track, well done! "
