Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"We're so glad we chose It's No' Reel as our wedding band! They were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. We were drawn into their lovely website by the amazing Game of Thrones cover video. Organising everything via email was so easy, and it was refreshing to get a clear idea of what was involved early on. Not only were they super professional on the day, they were also great fun and really responded to our guests on the dance floor by switching between ceilidh and our favourite dance tunes. Seeing my parents dance to 'House of Pain - Jump Around' was a personal highlight... The non-Scottish guests got the hang of the ceilidh moves in no time thanks to the great caller. Our guests were raving about the band for weeks afterwards. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!"

"Mary Young added to the experience of our Wedding wonderfully. We found Mary responsive, adaptable, professional and very competitively priced. If you are considering Mary to play at your event we highly recommend her based on our experience."

"Absolute brought their acoustic roaming band to play our wedding reception at Cain Manor and did not disappoint. They created an amazing atmosphere outside before and after the ceremony. They also played my wife walking down the aisle which really added to the emotion. I'm sure they would also make an awesome evening band now dancing is allowed again! Thanks guys you really helped make our day perfect. Dave and Jen, Wedding at Cain Manor in Hampshire – 16th July 2021 "

"Thank you so much again for last night, everyone had a blast and Simon and I couldn't be happier! You were so good at gauging when to play what, and getting people back on the dance floor over and over again! A lot of the guests had never danced a ceilidh (as it was obvious! ?) and you managed to keep everybody on track, well done! "

"An incredible band consisting of such lovely people. You guys were insane last night at my Mum's 50th and we have had so many wonderful comments about you. Could not recommend higher. A big 10 out of 10 from all of us."

"I first got to see Ruby on Facebook during our lockdown in 2020. She came out into the street to keep her friends & neighbours going and entertained. And I started following her on Facebook. And she kept me going also through the sad & bad times. Since then got to meet the lovely Ruby and have become really good friends. Ruby put a great charity night on 26th March 2022 At the Sedgemere Club in Yardley with a few of her other friends and then I arranged our queens platinum jubilee evening. Which Ruby & another friend Neil tilsley ( the good fella performed again at the Sedgemere Club, on 4th June 2022 yet again was a fab evening. Ruby & her friend Paul “Shakey” Shakespeare are doing our Sedgemere Club Yardley on Christmas afternoon 11th December. I just know it’s going to be a great afternoon. We will be raising money towards our Sedgemere Special Needs Group. To keep the funds going for a disco once a month also a day trip out in the summer. A Halloween & Xmas party xx "

"The barn dance in Barnham turned out to be an absolute hoot. I'm struggling to imagine a more excellent outing."

"A really great act who was extremely flexible with my changeable schedule. Did exactly what I requested and was enjoyed by everyone. Huw is talented both vocally & with his guitar and was a pleasure to have perform on my special day."

"We've so enjoyed having Blackbeard's Tea Party along at our events that they're now our "go to" band every time we have a ceilidh. They bring energy, musical talent and a sense of fun every time they play. Our ceilidh events are always a success, and that's mainly down to this great group of musicians. If you want a lively "proper" ceilidh band, then look no further than Blackbeard's Tea Party."
