"Charlotte and I just wanted to say a big thank you to your band for Saturday night! They brought so much fun and energy to the party. Your accordion player was a brilliant addition to the 12 Days of Christmas song and it made the perfect transition from dinner into the reeling. It was the first time I've seen reeling before and it looked like so much fun, I wanted to join in! Please pass on our thanks to your team. I appreciate it was a difficult set up with the two rooms and only having speakers in one room, but they made it work really well, so thank you for being flexible. Hope you all have a great Christmas and I will definitely recommend you to future clients who would like reeling at their wedding or party"

"Davie, I just wanted to contact you to say, ‘thank you VERY much, indeed’ to you and your band members for performing last Friday evening at the annual Grange Dyvours Tennis Club ‘Snow Ball’ and making it the tremendous success that it was. I have been to many weddings, ceilidhs and parties over the years and danced to many bands and I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that ‘The Big Shoogle’ stands head and shoulders above the rest. Who would have thought that weaving in Pink Floyd and Deep Purple tracks in the middle of a Dashing White Sergeant would have worked but it did! You were an absolute pleasure to deal with, before our event; you all drove a considerable distance to arrive, at exactly the time requested, to set up all your equipment then, after our dinner, you returned to put on the most amazing performance. Some of our (non-Scottish) members had never danced some of the dances before but you made sure to talk everyone through what was expected, as a warm up, before the mayhem began. My face was sore laughing, at the end of some of those dances. Just brilliant. Our ‘Snow Ball’ on Friday evening was an astounding success and we have you to thank for that. Absolutely first class. P.s. Also, thanks for taking our booking for our ball, next Christmas. I wanted to get in quick to secure you as I know how much in demand you are! "

"The Ceilihouse recently played at our wedding reception and it was amazing. All our guests commented on what an atmosphere they created and how superb they were. Thank you guys for making our special day even more special. Would recommend to anyone to book these guys for their event as they are amazing. Chris was quick to respond to any queries we had and really made us feel at ease with the whole process of booking. Three amazing guys and we can’t thank Chris, Paddy or Gordon enough."

"The fact that the afternoon was such a tremendous success was entirely due to the four of you. You created a great atmosphere and really got the party going."

"I just wanted to send you a message to say how fantastic Alba Ceilidh Band were at our party on Saturday night - a large number of our guests (quite a lot of whom are musicians) commented on how good the band were. And they couldn't have been friendlier or more accommodating with the way the evening ran. Thanks again - we would definitely recommend this band to friends and family."

"Their ability, at short notice, to turn up and turn in a stonking evening of fine music, laced with wit, anecdotes and reminiscences. Recommended to anyone who enjoys fine-trad music played with enthusiasm and enjoyment. "
