Review Centre: Barn Dance Bands

"I can not recommend The New Fox Band enough. They had everyone dancing (from kids to our generation at end twenties to our parents) within 1 minute at our wedding and it was a fantastic atmosphere. They were brilliant at explaining the dances to the novices (incuding all the guests from outside the UK who'd never danced a Ceilidh before) so that all our guests had a really fun time. Communication was fantastic and they were really flexible with setting up and sound checking to fit in with the rest of the evening."

"We booked these guys for our wedding in May 2022 and in one word they were AMAZING!!! (apologies for the delayed review guys.. having technology problems) We wanted a ceilidh dance for a part of the night along with more modern and 'traditional' wedding wedding party songs later on, and to be honest we were struggling to find any groups that 'fit the bill. Then we found Ceilidh With Us. Right from the first contact we knew it was going to just what we wanted and all throughout the process they were so helpful, from organising the timetable of the evening, to working with our song lists and making it all fit together to create one hell of a fantastic night. Lilac performed our first dance song amazingly, we couldn't have been happier, and the ceilidh went down a storm (even if we all struggled with the dashing white sergeant - if you know you know). In short I can not recommend these guys more highly. You will not regret hiring them."

"3 Amigos was absolutely amazing! They were so easy to communicate with and very accommodating. They also played an amazing set and got the crowd moving all night. Thank you so much for making our wedding such a memorable event!"

"Dear Kellys Heroes, Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. You were brilliant and so patient with us! So many of our guests have remarked how much they loved it- from the 20 year olds to the 70 year olds, all loved it and joined in, which is exactly what we wanted. Even the hip-hop fans who normally grumble at anything else were up having a whale of a time. We appreciated you expertise and advice and would recommend you to others. We hope you enjoyed playing and we're sorry the rugby score was not better!"

"What a fabulous evening! 120 adults and kids packed into the village hall having the best family fun time attempting to Barn Dance the evening away with Ben leading us all on a charge round the floor! Brilliant musicians, excellent instruction and fantastic humour. We would all recommend The Shamrock Experience for your Barn Dance or Ceilidh, simply superb!"

"Thank you for the fantastic ceilidh Hi Mick and team, We just wanted to say a huge thank you for the fantastic ceilidh at our wedding (8th June 2019 Saturday Layer Marney Tower, Layer Marney, Colchester, Essex, CO5 9US). It really made the evening so special and everyone had such a wonderful time. We have so many happy memories of everyone dancing and the great music. I hope you got enough food and cake in the end - I think the caterers were taken by surprise at how fast it all went! Thank you for making our day so very special! All the best" Felicity and Antony Milne 10th June 2019"

"Kip and his band were absolutely amazing. We had an unusual wedding venue and they made it work so that it was just perfect. I was overwhelmed with all the care and attention that they put into the calls and making sure everyone was included from very young to older guests. Anyone who has a wedding really knows that it flies by for the bride and groom but Kip made sure we were called to dance so we also had the opportunity to enjoy the music. We will be hiring these guys again as they were brilliant and fantastic musicians. You made the day so special, we can't thank you enough. Rachel and Christian x"

"I just wanted to write to say thank you so much for yesterday evening, I have had so many messages since saying how much they all enjoyed it and have now had requests for a reeling club at school and also 3 of those older (naughty!) boys asking about your details as they would like to have a reeling party! I think my mission was to convert a few people so job done I’d say. You were very patient with us all!"

"We booked Kellys Heroes to play at our wedding earlier this year and we were not disappointed! Everyone at our wedding was up on the dance floor, dancing for the entire set, they're great musicians with a great set list. I think all of our guests could have gone on for the rest of the night. Everyone still tells us that it was one of the highlights of any wedding they've been to. Thank you! "

"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'."

"We were very happy with both the band and the caller at our wedding celebrations. You made things very easy for all ages to join in and my two year old grandson loved taking part - he had the time of his life! We were thoroughly impressed with the entire operation and we would certainly recommend you to anyone else considering a similar event. "

"Thanks so much for last Saturday - the band were fantastic and the caller was so lovely in the way she gently got so many people involved - particularly loved the way she drew the Children in ! You managed to get several people dancing who had never danced at a barn dance before and one person said ' I never dance at weddings , but this seemed so friendly and fun I thought I'd have a go - particularly when I saw their name was two left feet cos that's me!' You created just the atmosphere we were hoping for and we also had several comments about how good the musicians were - and that came from people who are accomplished musicians themselves. So many thanks to all the band! "
