"I booked Kellys Heroes to play at my 60th birthday party. You were amazing and everyone loved you. Everybody there was talking about how good you were, and they are still talking about it, even now. You were the main feature of the party which people remember! Of course, your excellent local reputation preceded you and that took some living up to - you did so admirably. I was worried that, with such a diverse group of guests, there would be awkward silences but Tony did a sterling job at getting people up on the dance floor and, once they started, they couldn’t stop. Quite a few of my friends commented that they forgot we were all hitting 60 and were dancing like young ‘uns. It says much for your music, though, that the real young ‘uns also joined in and it was a treat to see that younger Irish generation (because about 2/3 of the party were Irish) showing off their traditional dance skills to your music. Your song and tune selection was really excellent. Just the right balance, and lovely to have some songs which were favourites (Billy was completely made up with Carrickfergus) and others which were original compositions. Of course, the standard was – well – absolutely professional. It must be great to have such universal appeal. I can honestly say that your music hit the mark with both young and old; English and Irish – and even the small Greek contingent got up and learned a few dance moves! Your CD is being well-played on Corfu and in Athens now! I noticed a good few of the staff from the bar downstairs snuck in for a sneaky look too. You really made the evening for me and do, please, feel free to use this if you need a testimonial. Looking forward to seeing you soon at one of your gigs. With my very best wishes and thanks again. Linda"

"Hey guys, Thank you for playing at our wedding on Sunday in The Drumossie. It was a brilliant performance and made the evening really memorable for everyone. Still not sure how you got Another Brick in the Wall into a ceilidh dance but it worked and it was impressive! Couldn’t have been better. Thanks so much, Graham and Louise! "

" I booked Rejigged for a Retirement Party and everything was arranged very efficiently. The band were very flexible and fitted in with supper and speeches etc. The music was really great it’s just a shame that people were a bit slow in joining in. All in all it was a very good event and I would be happy to recommend Rejigged. Julie Burt, Scots Ceilidh for farewell retirement party"

"Hi Michael, We just wanted to drop you a quick email before we are off on honeymoon to say thank you for playing last night. The music and calling were truly excellent, and so many of our guests have told us how much they enjoyed the ceilidh - the fitness test component included..... We had a fantastic night and it was lovely to see everyone getting involved and having so much fun. Even Mr Perfect."

"Black Velvet Band Irish Band were excellent and really added to our Irish themed evening. Lots of very traditional music. The guys were very flexible and last minute added in a Ceili set without prior knowledge which was appreciated by all and added to the fun of the evening. Very highly recommended."

"To our wonderful musicians! Thank you for the most memorable day on Friday to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. The music was perfect - the harp drifted through the garden so wonderfully - and so many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was. Thank you for helping to create the perfect party atmosphere, and for both being so delightful to work with. Here's to next time!"
