"Please pass on my thanks and huge congratulations to the Black Velvet Band for making the evening one to remember! The members of the band were very friendly and excellent at leading the crowds all of various ages! It was a night to remember for all the right reasons and I have not smiled so much since my wedding day! The Swiss roll formation is genius and the children (and adults) are still wondering how it worked! We will most definitely be booking them again!"

"What a fabulous party we had with everyone entering into the spirit of the ceilidh! The music was great and the caller was exceptionally patient with the disproportionate number of young men at the party. It was a really mixed crowd – plenty of teens and twenties, through to those in their eighties. The dance floor was full throughout the evening and everyone, both young and old joined in, including the determined non dancers. Several people commented on what a lovely time they’d had. I’m very happy to recommend the band."

"Tonight we had a new duo called Shaun & Carrie, male and female: they sang the right songs for the dancers. Shaun & Carrie had great voices and they have been rebooked: well done, see you both next time."

So many people have commented and your details have been asked for by a few people, some who were not even there, word must have spread haha.

"I wanted to say a big thank you for our wedding the other night. You guys totally rocked the place and everyone loved you! You pitched up on time, played a great set, were friendly, professional, totally knew what you were doing (not that I expected anything less) and I loved it when I caught you playing something different as a small interlude piece. It was really nice. A number of people have since complimented the ceilidh. At a wedding, the entertainment is always crucial to how much fun people have, and you guys were worth all the money!"

"A big thank you to you and your fellow musicians in the It's No' Reel Scottish Ceilidh Band for making our retirement ceilidh a really memorable night. We were so pleased that we chose you, thanks really to your excellent website. You were thoroughly professional in your approach and from our first e-mail communications we got a sense of reassurance - even although we had never heard you play live. We were also pleased that we chose to have a second fiddle - that gave such a wonderful sound. A friend & I were putting finishing touches to things in the foyer while you were tuning up. You then started to play, we looked at each other, both gave a spontaneous 'thumbs up' and big smiles - we knew then that it was going to be a great night! We know from our friends and family that they all did have a great night and you were the most talked about part of the whole evening. I just wish we could do it all again so we could get more time to sit and listen to your music - it all went by in a bit of a blur for Greg & I. Apart from comments on your professionalism, the quality of your playing and the fact that you got the sound level just right - many people told us how much they enjoyed listening to what you played between the dance tunes. We did not need the disco playlist after all! I just hope that we are able to hear you play live again! Thanks once more to you all, you made our special night even more special. We would recommend you to anyone looking for a band for a special event - we could not have asked for more. Thank goodness you were free on the 27th!!"

"Brilliant band. Played loads of songs people actually knew and wanted to dance to. No filler, just hit after hit. Exactly what I wanted."

"You and the band really did exceed our expectations, our guests kept telling us how much they loved it! Some even said they'd want to see you again live! I actually don't think I left the dance floor all night! Thanks so much, you really made our night! "

"We welcomed Black Velvet Band Irish Duo for our St Patrick's Day celebration and the club was packed. We were thoroughly entertained from start to finish! We loved the music and we danced to all the well-known old Irish songs. Thank you and we hope to host you again!"

"The perfect blend of elegance and energy, with a charm that suited the setting beautifully. Southern Charm went above and beyond what we imagined. From their acoustic set during the afternoon to the full party later on, it felt like the music was designed for the space—the rolling countryside as their stage. They paced the evening seamlessly without us ever needing to intervene. Their timing, energy, and ability to read the room felt so natural, letting us simply enjoy every moment. And those vocals—absolutely breathtaking. Guests kept asking where on earth we’d discovered them. What stood out most was the warmth and authenticity they brought; nothing about it felt staged. They gave our wedding a sense of magic we’ll never forget."
