Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"We had Pat and his bagpipes at our wedding on 19th September 2015 and he was fantastic. The music was brilliant and it added something really special to our day. He looked brilliant to, his uniform was immaculate. He was friendly and polite and what made it special was that he was rally enjoying the day and location. We can not say enough good things about Pat, we would have him play at other events and highly recommend him for any special occasions. Pat contacted us before the day and we spoke about music choice and he delivered an excellent selection of Music. The service we have received from Last Minute Musicians has been brilliant and would use this service again."

"The Shooglers have played for us twice now and I can't wait to get them booked for next year! They have been a huge hit at both charity ceilidhs which we have organised, people attending telling us how great they thought they were. The band are so easy to work with, they are a friendly bunch and are very talented. Their music is fantastic, it's such a relief knowing that if anything else goes wrong on the night that the music will be first class. They have banter with the guests, and call dances brilliantly. They are definitely going to be the first people I get in touch with when I start organising next year's ceilidh. I'd recommend them to everyone, I've already passed on contact details to several people who loved their sound. Thanks again boys, can't wait to work with you again soon! :) Thanks again for an awesome ceilidh! "

"The band was excellent from start to finish. Excellent prompt communication, and helpful advice regarding the venue and how best to utilise the space. Finally they were not only a great band but they brought the dancing to life with their calling and help with the dances."

"Absolute played at our wedding on 12.04.19 @ Ufton Court and were amazing! The acoustic duo in the afternoon set the perfect atmosphere for our reception drinks. The rest of the band joined us in the evening and the dance floor was packed all night long. We have had so many great comments from our guests about how brilliant the band were. We can't thank you all enough, it could not have been better!' Sarah and Andy, Wedding at Ufton Court in Berkshire – 12th April 2019 "

"We all had a fantastic time with Blue Jewel. They had every single person up on the dance floor! Really patient, especially with the rowdier members of the party! Explained all the dances really well. Would recommend to anyone. "

"We hired Blackbeard's Tea Party for ceilidh at our wedding- the groom has been a fan of them for many years, so we were delighted that they offered ceilidh hires. They were the highlight of the day- everyone was so friendly and it was exactly what we wanted. They were very organised and the tunes worked very well for the ceilidh, even if people were beginners. The caller was great and got everybody involved- in fact two of our guests were so impressed they've booked him for their wedding! The band played several sets with the right amount of breaks in between and we enjoyed their performance of some of their tunes in between. Brilliant atmosphere and so much fun- would 100% recommend!"

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing so beautifully at our wedding. I absolutely adored hearing your music. Waiting outside the ceremony room was nerve racking yet oddly enjoyable because the harp really calmed me down!! And we've had so many compliments!!! It really was perfect having you play on the terrace too. So thank you, if you need us to write a testimonial we gladly will. Thanks again Rachael. It was wonderful."

"Paul and Lindsay were the perfect addition to my grandma’s big family reunion / birthday party. Their communication throughout the booking process was flawless and professional. The actual performance was spell-bounding . The tunes they played were so nostalgic and nobodies feet could stay still. All guests were very impressed, and The Publicans were the talk of the party. Thanks again Paul - we hope to see you again soon!"

"If you haven't seen this band and you are into pirate folk rock then don't delay. It was the first time for me and I was blown away. If you want a lively evening with some very talented musicians who want you to join in with them then this is for you!!"
