"At the Radius 7 Cocktail Bar & Restaurant, we were delighted to be treated to several evenings of entertainment by this very talented man. Great acoustic guitar player with a lively personality, an all round entertainer. Thank you Joe for such great evenings! You are a star for us!"

"Sam has an incredible voice and the crowd absolutely loved him. He was able to work around our awkward schedule with ease. His repotoir of country music was incredible and exactly what we asked for."

"For 13 years I have coordinated highly successful ceilidh dances in Bishopbriggs High School and now the new Bishopbriggs Academy. These Christmas dances are the culmination of 3 weeks of social dance with all year groups and it it a priority of mine that we have live music to create an upbeat atmosphere. I consider it part of my job to ensure these traditional dances are taught in school in a way pupils will enjoy and will perpetuate. This year I secured the services of The Shooglers for our S5/6 dance. The evening was a fantastic success and enjoyed immensely by pupils and staff alike. The band worked a perfect blend of traditional Scottish dance tunes with contemporary music the pupils are familiar with, which heightened their participation in – and positive attitude to – “social dancing”. I have already asked the band to perform at next year’s S5/6 dance in the school. I know it will be a special occasion. I recommend The Shooglers unreservedly to anyone hosting school dances, weddings or any kind of function. "

"We booked TIDE after watching their online videos for our wedding in July 2018... The videos were amazing. These guys are very talented and create a rocking atmosphere. Our wedding venue had a sound limiter which these guys can play though as they have all the kit. You would never of known as the sound was amazing. As the bride in heels I danced all evening. My friends have been asking me... Who’s the band? Love them! Thank you boys for an awesome wedding party."

Hi Steve thank you so much for such wonderful feedback! I’d be delighted to consider a residency. Do let me know when would be a suitable time to meet and discuss. Have a wonderful weekend and send my best wishes to Jules for Mother’s Day.

"Hi G, Just a note from Thomas and me to say thank you SO SO much for helping Thomas to achieve a DISTINCTION in his grade 7. His teacher said 'he might pass'!! but it was TOTALLY down to your fantastic rehearsal sessions (other parents please note this wonder man gave us at least double the time for which we had paid and agreed) You quickly had Thomas smiling and rekindled his spark for music which he had lost - without you he said he would have not done the exam. Gareth spent so long helping with scales and aural tests and taught my son to ENJOY sight reading as well as bringing the pieces to life with his amazing accompaniment skills. We were astounded by the speed with which you established a rapport with our son and helped him with so many aspects of performing - real life skills which made all the difference. We have never heard Thomas practising and playing with such confidence and we were all in stitches with the humour our quips and mnemonics you gave in the pointers. I am an ex teacher and recognise in Gareth Giles that rare gift of a superb, kind teacher coupled with outstanding musicianship and the ability to get the best out of a student AND more importantly allow them access to music in the future. GARETH GILES is a truly outstanding teacher and musician and we cannot thank you enough for your kindness, encouragement and love of music PARENTS - or anyone - book this amazing man if you can for he is utterly brilliant, caring and a consummate musician. From Thomas's family (and Thomas who is on a school trip but jumping up and down with joy at his result and asking 'when can Gareth come and accompany me again') SIMPLY SUPERB in EVERY WAY"

"We have booked Black Velvet Band for our Wedding in Devon on 20th May. We were delighted to find out from Jennie that they were playing at The Water Poet in Spitalfields on St Patricks Night. Being from London, this was perfect. We arrived to a heaving pub with great Irish tunes belting out the door. The pub was packed and everyone was Irish on Friday. Black Velvet Irish Band played everything from The Wild Rover to some traditional reels and jigs. The were excellent and we cannot wait to have them play on our special day. We met with the lads after who were all so friendly and welcoming. I’ve been in a quite a few pubs on St Patrick’s Day but I’ve never experienced an atmosphere like that. The crowd were singing and dancing, Black Velvet your were fantastic, we cant wait to see you guys on 20th May 2017. Niamh Ivey"
