Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

" 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! "

"They were Ace! Everyone was wowed. Professional, friendly, really made my party special! Everyone asking where I found them. Can’t speak highly enough about them. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you!"

"Thanks so much for playing our big night! We’ve gotten so many compliments on how awesome it was to have incredible live music. On another notes, had I mentioned that “Let’s Dance” is a rather significant song for both Jacqueline and me or was that pure coincidence that you guys decided to open with that? Either way, both sets were incredible. Please pass my praise onto all of your band members!"

"A fine feast of good-timing jug band music, blues, vintage jazz and hokum with a nicely humorous attitude."

"Danny was so wonderful from start to finish. He couldn’t have done more to make my Grandma’s special event, extra special. His communication was fantastic and more importantly than that he is a fantastic musician and it was a privilege to have him perform at our event. I wouldn’t hesitate in booking him again or recommending to a friend. Thanks again Danny! "

"Thank you, it was all brilliant. Every single person enjoyed it immensely. Great band, good communication before the event and a really good caller (Ollie Simons - Ceilidh Caller). Fitted in with the plans for background music as well as dancing. Definitely recommend."

"Fresh Grooves were so good at the weekend. They arrived on time and set up without us even noticing so they were ready to go for our first dance. That, and the whole night of music, was spot on for what we had hoped for. Very pleased!"

"We hired Lucinda to sing at our wedding in June 2023. She sang during the ceremony and our drinks reception which were both outside. She was incredible from start to finish. Her voice carried beautifully and so many of our guests commented on what an amazing singer she was. She was very professional and sang the songs we’d requested. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you Lucinda for being part of our special day. "

"We were absolutely thrilled with your music for our wedding. It was really important for me to get a great band particularly as I have a lot of musician friends!! Everything was perfect! What more can I say. The fact that my husband was dancing most of the night (and he says he doesn't like dancing or 'can't dance') is testament to the fact that it was a fab night. We had loads of comments from our guests about how great you all were. We enjoyed the whole day and you guys were really important in setting the great atmosphere so thank you again for being so professional and FABULOUS!!!! "

"Just want to say a huge thank you from both Taha and me. You truly made our wedding magical and gave it such an elegant touch. Everybody absolutely loved both the harp and violin during the Nikkah ceremony. I am so glad that we were able to have it outdoors and you made it a dream! Thank you once again for everything over the past couple of months and for being very accommodating. I am so glad that I booked both the string quartet and harp and violin duet for the wedding. I will definitely be in touch for my siblings’ weddings in the future. Wishing you all the success in the world! You truly deserve it."

"Your band was incredible! Your huge selection of iconic James Bond theme songs made our 007-themed gala come alive, and added a new level of energy to the night. The variety of vocal and instrument talent and the perfect choice of dance songs at the end, set James Bond Orchestra apart from any others I’ve heard. Thanks for taking our event to a new level!"
