Review Centre: Barn Dance Bands

"We were looking for a Ceilidh Band for our wedding reception and we were thrilled to find Craigi! They were flexible responding to our requests when organising the event and wore traditional Scottish dress! They were very knowledgeable and talented musicians. We had lots of positive feedback from our guests! With clear instructions from the caller everyone picked up on the moves and were willing to join in! We had a wonderful time and we would like to thank the whole band for their part in making our night special! We highly recommend! "

"We had a joint 50th & 80th birthday party. Black Velvet were fantastic. Great musicians and made the Barn dance run smoothly. We had ages from 5 to 80 and they tailored everything perfectly. Made it a birthday to remember."

"the New Fox Band were phenomenal at our wedding. They are brilliant musicians and learnt a special request for our first dance. They played 2 very entertaining sets that kept the dance floor full all night, while giving instructions clear enough for a large group of not-so-sober guests! It really made the evening, I would 100% recommend them to anyone"

" Black Velvet Band Irish Duo came to play at the Christmas Party for our CrossFit Gym held in the farmhouse on the site; they were easy and helpful to deal with from the start; everything clear and simple to follow. The performance was perfect for the occasion and Mike and his colleague were easy going and a pleasure to have around. They spent time with a guest who wanted to learn how to play one of the instruments and were great for getting people up and dancing. Thoroughly recommend the Irish Duo! "

"We hired Barn With Us two years ago to play for our party however, with two cancellations thanks to Covid, we have only just had the party. I can say it was truly worth the wait! Without a doubt, every single person loved the performance that the band put on, they were superb! They really made the night and managed to get people to dance on stage that I’ve never even seen dance before! Many people came up to me and said how wonderful the band were and I wouldn’t be surprised if more business comes to the band from guests at the party! Thank you for a truly wonderful night! I cannot recommend Barn With Us enough, everything was expertly organised, including through Covid and we were able to select our favourites to sing along to!"

"We had seen this band before booking them for our wedding, so we had the highest expectations of them and somehow they still managed to surpass them! An absolutely perfect choice for our special day. Do not underestimate the impact of a good ceilidh band for a wedding or other party function as it breaks the ice amongst all the guests and never fails to get everyone up dancing, whether sober or not-so-sober! We only married yesterday and already have guests messaging us requesting The Blue Jewel's details!"

"I just wanted to write a quick note to say thank you for playing at our wedding on the 18th July at Fursdon House. The music was fantastic and all our guests loved the informal but fun approach to the dancing. It was a real hit at the wedding and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to others."

"Just to say a huge thank you to yourself and the rest of your band members who attended our wedding celebratory party on sat 2nd September at our home in the Brecon Beacons. A lot of our guests (some of whom are professional/semi-professional players themselves in other ceilidh bands in England and Scotland!) commented on the high standard of your musical performance as well as your ability to inspire them to put their feet on the dance floor without too many mishaps. So please pass on our thanks to your colleagues. "

"For the third year The Brixham Pirate Festival will have The Extonions playing on the Main Stage. Pirates are a discerning crew and The Extonions had them a jiggin' and toe tappin' throughout their set. HUZZAH!!!"

Reply by Irish Band: The Extonions
Thank younRuss , while it lasted under your management, we though roughly enjoyed every moment as did the crowd. People often ask why we are not playing anymore on the main stage, and we have to say, we don't know.
