"I want to send the biggest thank you to the best ceilidh band I have ever had the pleasure of dancing to! Tom, Aaron and Scott were incredible from start to finish. Tom was great at responding to emails and organising everything. He even went out of his way to make sure he had the correct first dance song downloaded and so many little extras. I've been to many ceilidhs over the years and this was by far the best! As my husband is Portuguese, more than 50% of the wedding party had never been to a ceilidh before. Tom was fantastic at calling the dances and teaching everyone how to do it. There wasn't a single person sitting down and everyone loved it! We received so many compliments from our guests about how great the band were. Thanks so much to all of you for making our wedding night one to remember. I would recommend you to anyone!"

"Dave was superb for my last minute bar party at home. Communication was the fastest compared to others and he was really accommodating. He even managed to do a track for me that I gave to him at short notice and he’s so skilled he jammed along to it and he was amazing! He’s super talented and I only wish I had booked him for longer than an hour as he was great! Will definitely be booking again. Thanks Dave - my birthday celebration was best time and all of us girls loved it !!! Still talking about it now 🎷🙌"

"We had the most amazing and magical day. It was overwhelming to be surrounded by people who we love and who had all gone to huge effort to celebrate with us especially so close to Christmas. You all made the day amazing! There are so many people to thank for all of their help on the lead up, on the day and afterwards. Thanks to SoulNFunk, for being a fabulous band and getting everyone dancing Xx"

"I just wanted to say a massive thankyou to you and the rest of the band. We had a fabulous wedding and you finished it off with a bang; it was great to see so many people of all ages on the dance floor! A highlight was definitely Oops Upside Your Head and seeing all our guests getting on the floor (me included!). All of our guests commented on how great you were. Now I just need another excuse for a party so I can book you again!"

"We hired The Blue Suede Shoes for our wedding in June 2014. We could not of been happier with the band. Not only did they put on an amazing show, they were extremely helpful, responsive and adaptable throughout the entire process. The initial information package was very clear regarding logistical requirements and gave us all the information the wedding venue required. In the months leading up to the wedding, The Blue Suede Shoes were very helpful anytime we had a question. On our wedding day, we pre-planned a general band play schedule, but with over-running dinner and speeches, that largely was discarded. The Blue Suede Shoes were very adaptable to our changing schedule. (They were so adaptable, they even brought the bass outside to the beach to help one of our friends who wanted to do a ukulele song at sunset!) The Blue Suede Shoes’ music was fantastic with a great range that all of our guests enjoyed. They also did a great job learning our first dance song. On whatever scale, The Blue Suede Shoes get top marks! "

"What a fantastic night! This band absolutely smashed it! Great tunes, great musicians, great bunch of guys - so professional. Elevated the night from good to amazing, everyone was on the dance floor - we will be doing it all over again. Looking forward to booking them for our 30th anniversary at the end of the year. Thanks boys, you were magnificent!"

"Henry was a pleasure to deal with throughout, and the band were great all evening. They took into consideration our music tastes when making the setlist and learnt some new songs that we had requested. All the guests commented on how good they were and the dance floor was full all evening. We cannot recommend them highly enough."
