Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"I have seen this band perform many times over the years and find them consistantly very good. A good mixture of folk, Irish, humour and generally fun. They've always had the ability to make you want to get up and dance!"

"I would like to thank Mat Walklate and the guys for a fantastic evening. They were brilliant! A really warm and charming bunch of guys! Definitely be using them again, a great night was had by everyone due to a lively set which created a good atmosphere."

"We hired the Ceilidh With Us band for our wedding and the night was just excellent. Communication before the event was detailed but straightforward. On the night, the caller was absolutely brilliant and the rest of the band were all super talented. It sounded great, the setup was great, and they had plenty of people dancing who don't normally (or ever!) dance. One couple told us they'd literally never danced together before that night! So all in all, brilliant. Would highly recommend!"

"Patrick did a brilliant job. There were tears as I walked down the isle behind him. It wasn't only the women crying, the best man ( a Scot) also cried. I walked down to Flower of Scotland. It was beautiful. Mauree."

"Davie, I don’t know where to start by thanking you boys for Friday night. There were over 100 peeps there and I would say nearly everyone has commented on how brilliant you were and how you made the night. Big Andy(the big fat loud boy) thinks you’re even better now compared to the wedding and we thought you were awesome then. Everybody had a great time which is mainly down to you guys. We’ve not stopped talking about it since. Pass our regards to the boys. Hope you get an awesome venue for Hogmanay, you certainly deserve it. Thanks a million, Paula! "

"They arrived promptly, set up without any fuss, played two brilliant sets , were very generous with their time and got everyone dancing. Mike called the dances clearly and gave people chance to have a quick practice. Mike encouraged everyone and the dance floor never emptied. The band really helped make the wedding very special. "

"Such a special event" Good morning Mick, Just a quick note of appreciation to you and the band for helping us make last night such a special event (15th September 2023* Friday (8 - 11pm tbc) The London Irish Centre, 50-52 Camden Square, London, NW1 9XB). A ceilidh is a great way to bring the generations together, and, as you could see from the number on the dance floor, everyone had a fantastic evening. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Alex Kenny 16th September 2023"

"We had such a great time. Ned did a great job leading us in the dances. I should really say "exhausting us", but the number of people coming back for more showed how much they loved it. Each band-member is a fine musician in their own right but blended together they were fabulous. I would not hesitate to book them again."

"My family have been following this band for over 20 years now. From the toe tapping faster tunes to the haunting ballads, I cannot rate this band highly enough. Everyone in the audience appears to be having a fantastic night with many people dancing. The band are very professional and friendly and seem to attract an audience that follows them all over the country year after year. Recently, they very kindly played for my mother in her own home ,when she was terminally ill. It proved a very memorable and moving day for her friends and family. I will always be grateful to them for this. My rating for this band is 100 out of 10!!!"

"Heard 'The Shooglers' play at a fantastic wedding I was photographing, well I was so desperate to join in the dancing - truly fantastic music ;-) I love the one you did with the mix of Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall - was amazing, tapping my foot and itching to dance - best music at a wedding I’ve ever heard !!!!"

"Dear Davie and the Band, What with all the goings on since the wedding we have not had a chance to thank you so much for playing at our wedding on 4th June. You really brought the party together and everyone loved the music throughout, Poppy I know did not leave the dance floor for a second. The final Loch Lomond dance was the final dance of all dances and with all the guests joined arm in arm around Poppy and I it felt more like a rugby celebration - a great way for us to finish such a fantastic day and head off, slightly reluctantly, from our wedding. We will certainly recommend you to others and we hope some booking come because of it, we wish you all the best with your band and the future. Best Wishes. "

"It's No' Reel were absolutely fantastic! Without a doubt they are the best ceilidh band I have ever heard. They created a great atmosphere at our wedding by getting everyone up to dance with excellent calling and great music. All of our guests loved the ceilidh and I would recommend the band to anyone. Thanks again to Tom and the guys."
