"Nev’n’Russ played last night at our village barbecue and kept us entertained with some lively music which was pleasing to all age groups. They have previously played in our small Village Room and toned it down to suit the venue, and have ramped it up for the garden of our local pub. Would thoroughly recommend "

"Big Smoke Brass were phenomenal! They had every guest on the dance floor with their selection of songs to suit all ages, and everyone had a fantastic time. I would love to hire them again in future."

"Ione and her band were brilliant musicians. Sometimes I had to take a look at them to see if it was them playing or the d j playlist equipment as they sounded just like the real artists whose tracks there were singing. Their repertoire catered for all our guests age range from 6 to 84 years. We can’t wait to have an excuse to have another party to invite them to perform for us again."

"We were lucky enough to have Radio Dukes play at our wedding reception. We had the 5 piece band, and can confidently and overwhelmingly recommend them! They were fantastic. The whole party was straight up and dancing, and their mix of funk, rock and indie music worked really well - with lots of songs we could all sing along to. They responded quickly to messages, and were flexible to our timings too. "

"What an amazing band! I’ve heard bands which are great at the Scottish ceilidh stuff but not very good at any other styles. I’ve heard bands which are great at pop/rock/country/indie covers but couldn’t play a ceilidh dance to save their lives. You guys are amazing! You can play all the Scottish ceilidh stuff AND make it rocky AND play all these other styles from pop to rock to country to whatever! Amazing! "

"We booked the Haystacks for 2 1hr band sets and a DJ set. They were absolutely amazing, all the guests were up dancing and singing along. Rachel was great at keeping in touch leading up to the Wedding and they learnt an Australian song for our first dance and the version was perfect. We would highly recommend. "

"Hi Davie, A massive thank you to The Shooglers for playing at our wedding. We were impressed with how you managed to herd 100 clueless folk around the dancefloor and we've definitely converted some to loving a good ceilidh. We're happy to send testimonials if needed. Such an amazing night deserves praise!"

"We were over the moon with Prairie Moon! Excellent communication pre event, discussed preferred songs etc. Their performance was amazing but their interaction and inclusion of the students was really special. Would highly recommend to other SEN settings. "

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – James and May-Kate’s Wedding Ceilidh – April 2026 We enjoyed having Black Velvet at our wedding party to play two sets of Ceilidh dancing. The guests thoroughly enjoyed dancing to the music after being taught the dances. Even our four year niece joined in with some of the dancing! The band were prompt to set up and we enjoyed the live music. James Battle-Matthews"
