"Hiring a band is always a difficult experience and we could not have been in safer hands with Rich and the band! We wanted something special for the day time so we hired Billy to perform as a soloist for us and then the rest of the band performed in the evening. Everything was so special and the perfect accompaniment to our wedding day."

"Crimson Sky provided a fantastic service. The organisation and communication with Rhona was outstanding; something which is so appreciated when planning a wedding. Rhona made great suggestions and really understood our requirements. We had Crimson Sky perform at our wedding; the voice of the frontman was brilliant and the band really added to the atmosphere that we were trying to create. The huge variety Cobalt Sky’s repertoire made it exciting to choose all our favourites; which were all hits with our guests. The fact that the band were open to learning new stuff was also a great addition. Thank you so much for being a part of our day, it really made it the best day ever and I will definitely be recommending both the band and business. "

"Dear Fiddlestix You were all BRILLIANT Saturday night! Thank you SO much, everyone really enjoyed your music and the dancing. Your caller must have had such a sore throat the next day (!), and I adored your little lady on that MASSIVE double bass! Thank you SO much for making my party such a success. You were fantastic, and I hope we can do something similar again soon. Maybe my husband's 60th in two years' time. Thank you SO much!!! Lots of love, Victoria xxxx "

"We were so thrilled with the music that you and your band played. The atmosphere was very relaxed and most enjoyable. Ann was very good as a ‘Caller’. She made it very clear and was very pleasant. We hope you enjoyed being with us too! If ever we need another band we shall certainly use you. With many, many thanks."

"We booked Unwritten Duo for the first time back in September at our pub in Nottingham. They turned up on time, set up without fuss and performed 3 incredible 45 minutes sets. They played music from the 50s to modern day and put their own style to it. I got some fantastic feedback from my punters and have had them back twice since the first booking. We have them booked in once a month for the next year. Absolutely love their sound and especially love Joanne's vocal ability, such rich tones and power. I highly recommend them for any event!"

"Thank you very much for the recommending The Shooglers Band for the Warrant Officers and Senior Rates Mess Christmas Ball. The evening was a great success and I received several comments on how good the band was, and their ability to get people onto the dance floor and then of course keeping them there. I will certainly recommend them to others and also look to using them for future functions in the Mess. Once again many thanks. "

"I've had the tremendous good fortune to have been asked to call ceilidh dances with Kellys on numerous occasions. It's never difficult to get people up on the dance floor once Helen kicks off on the accordion, and when Steve's driving rhythm guitar comes in, coupled with Tony's pounding bodhran, the only 'problem' is getting people to sit down and have a breather between dances! And when you get Simon and John bumping it up to a 5-piece with fiddle and banjo (plus various pipes and whistles) well, all I can say is "Hold on to your socks!""

"Davie, At last I am getting a minute to thank you and the guys for an excellent evening playing at our Silver Wedding at Meldrum House. The music was fabulous, everything we expected and more! All our guests have been telling us how much they enjoyed the band, even those not energetic enough to dance say that they very much enjoyed listening to you play. We were well and truly shoogled and I know I wasn’t the only one with aching muscles the next day! Great fun, thanks for helping to make our special occasion a huge success, we all had a fantastic time. The only complaint we had was that the party finished too soon!"
