Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"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"

"The party-goers - whether seasoned ceilidh dancers or first-timers - loved the band.  And they were professional, but also flexible and uncomplaining to deal with.  Thank you Black Velvet Band!"

"We just want to say a massive thank you for playing the harp at our Wedding at West Heath last month. Many of our guests have remarked on how fantastic you were. My mum said that your playing was one of the highlights of the ceremony and for me walking into the room to marry my husband and walking out as husband and wife to your beautiful music made my day! Thank you again!"

"thanks very much for coming north to play at our wedding on 14th March at Eilean Donan Castle followed by the reception at the Kintail Lodge. We were both absolutely delighted with your selection of music, it was described as the 'icing on the cake' by many people, we felt it pulled the whole occasion together and loved it too."

"The band was brilliant. Could not recommend enough. the choice of music, the energy they brought to the event was great. Very easy to work with, and very professional. Sound quality was great, even though the venue was quite small with hard surfaces, and the band did their homework about setting up and worked with us. A excellent choice, and would defo use them again. "

"I knew what I wanted for entertainment at my 50th birthday party but had no idea what to expect when I booked the Rib Ticklers. I'm pleased to say the boys didn't disappoint! They pitched the selection of songs just right and had the dancing in full swing within minutes of starting to play. I had a great night and friends loved the great mix of music all evening. I'm now trying to find an excuse to have them back! Galway girl living in Hertfordshire"

"Just a note to thank you and the band so much for your contribution to the success of Saturday night’s Barn Dance. The music was fantastic, and I felt the calling gave us just the right amount of detail without holding back those who were itching to get on with the dancing. Loads of people said to me just how much they’d enjoyed the music. I do hope they passed their appreciation on to you too. And I hope that you were pleased by the enthusiasm with which people threw themselves into dancing. So, many thanks once again. "

"We had these guys at Drimsynie Estate Holiday Village for New Year, and I cannot rate them highly enough! Made my job easier, allowed me to mingle with the guests, and make their night a little bit better. Very professional on stage, had the dancefloor filled all night long, I don't know how the dancers danced or as long as they did! If you are humming and hawing about booking these guys, just do it, you won't regret it!"
