"A Perfect Wedding Band! When I proposed to my now wife back in 2017, I was adamant that we would have a great ceilidh band for the wedding, showing my new Hungarian family a true taste of Scottish culture whilst having a great time. When I saw the advert for Iron Broo and how they were ranked one of the top ceilidh bands in the area I was sceptical at first having never heard them play. Then I was invited to a wedding that they played 4 months prior to my own: after hearing their 3 piece I knew my wedding would be in safe hands! All through the buildup to the day Charlie was a great help, using his knowledge and experience to advise how to run the evening - he even transcribed a bagpipe tune for my great grandfather to play on the night! On the day, the band were outstanding! Despite a small wedding the band with their charm and wit managed to get people up to dance and put on a tremendous show! The personal touches were carefully noted as the Orcadian Strip the Willow’s music was even tailored to incorporate Hungarian folk music that put a big smile on the new in-laws faces! I could not recommend Iron Broo more to play at any function, they really are what they advertise and will now need to create an event just to have them back! Forever grateful. Mr and Mrs Borthwick."

"We were 100% satisfied with using Last Minute Musicians! The entire process was easy and the booking fees were made very clear right from the beginning. The musician agents were incredibly accommodating, listening to exactly what type of musician we were after and made sure to provide quick responses to any requests. The musician they recommended was Becky Shell and we were blown away by how enchanting her performance was. She was a true professional, arriving on time and made our wedding reception so special. We would happily use this service again"

"We were looking for a Ceilidh Band for our wedding reception and we were thrilled to find Craigi! They were flexible responding to our requests when organising the event and wore traditional Scottish dress! They were very knowledgeable and talented musicians. We had lots of positive feedback from our guests! With clear instructions from the caller everyone picked up on the moves and were willing to join in! We had a wonderful time and we would like to thank the whole band for their part in making our night special! We highly recommend! "

"Best band in Nottingham hands down! Hired them for my mums wedding and they had everyone on the dance floor one moment and then had everyone moved to tears the next (in the best possible way) They played all night for us and we loved every minute, they truly made it a night to remember!"

"I would just like to thank you all for playing at Louisa and Martin's wedding reception last Friday. The music was great and everyone thoroughly enjoyed dancing. I felt you had the right balance of ceilidh and disco music. Like all good events it all passed too quickly! We will certainly be recommending you too anyone looking for a ceilidh band in the future. Extra thanks to the fiddle player (Aaron?) for being at two places in the one day!!"
