Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"The ceilidh was all amazing, couldn’t fault it. The caller worked really hard to make sure everyone at least sort of had a clue what they were doing, and adapted it for when there were too many couples and not enough space! Only complaint is that he almost killed me making me do Strip the Willow line twice with my very enthusiastic husband!! Thanks for everything 😊"

"BEST BAND EVER!! Lilac and her 6pc funk band played at our wedding in Summer 2021, and Rem DJ'd. Both sets were absolutely fantastic! In the build up to the wedding, Lilac and Rem were incredibly helpful in guiding us through our playlist, identifying crowd pleasers and song collections which worked incredibly well together. They were both full of ideas and suggestions and left no stone unturned in their preparations! Planning our evening set with them was a real giggle! They were very clear in outlining their requirements on the day, and recommending what timings would work well. They were also incredibly understanding, cooperative, and willing to be flexible as we waited to plan our wedding around COVID. On the day, Lilac and the team were full of energy and this reverberated around the room, creating a truly special atmosphere! Lilac has an amazing, soulful voice and so much stage presence! The saxophonist was also outstanding!! They kept the dance floor filled all evening and full of noise as we all sang along. Lilac and the team's set was incredible, and they kept going beyond the two 45 min slots to all of our delight! Rem's DJ set to conclude the evening was incredible! He struck a really great balance between old school classics and more modern, higher tempo tunes. We'll remember excitedly dancing along to Avici and Craig David, and finishing off with a sing along to Wonderwall, Sweet Caroline and Angels, with all our best friends surrounding us, for the rest of our lives! Thank you so much for a massive contribution towards making our wedding the best day of our lives! "

"Davie, I don’t know where to start by thanking you boys for Friday night. There were over 100 peeps there and I would say nearly everyone has commented on how brilliant you were and how you made the night. Big Andy(the big fat loud boy) thinks you’re even better now compared to the wedding and we thought you were awesome then. Everybody had a great time which is mainly down to you guys. We’ve not stopped talking about it since. Hopefully, our paths will meet to let us get Shoogled once more. Pass our regards to the boys. Hope you get an awesome venue for Hogmanay, you certainly deserve it. Thanks a million, Paula! "

"Once again, I would like to thank you on behalf of all crew members for your wonderful performance on board of the HANSEATIC inspiration. Your visit was very much appreciated and a surprise for everybody on board. Unfortunately, the guests who were on excursion could not listen to your fascinating music. A lot of listeners came to me after the harp concert and highlighted your skills on one of the most beautiful instruments ever built. Your impressive melodies will remain unforgettable for our Hanseatic inspirations new destination. Your great performance and the cannon salute as we left the harbour have made our stay very special. We sincerely thank you and hope to see you again soon in the beautiful city of Portland. With gratitude and best regards Anja Fortmann Guest Relation Manager HANSEATIC inspiration"

"We had Kip and the Blue Diamond ceilidh band play at our fund raiser for the MNDA. We received so many comments stating what a fantastic band they were and a very fun evening was had by all. We will definitely be repeating next year. Would highly recommend this band."

"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."

"I always love watching the Kindred Spirit Duo playing a gig, because their brilliant folk-rock/pop covers never fail to get me and my friends up dancing the night away. They play a great selection of songs and every one seems to be my favourite, Elaine's vocals and guitar playing are superb and Martin is a virtuoso on the electric violin. They both have great personalities and stage presence and are highly recommended by me :-)"

"I would like to thank your band for coming to our son’s wedding on Saturday night. Everybody, and I mean everyone, loved having the band. They were so welcoming and understanding, and got most people dancing. The Bride and Groom had a fab time too. Please pass on our best wishes and thanks to the band members. Many thanks Bridget "
