Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"Just a quick, and rather late, note to say a very Big Thank You to you and the team for the wonderful Saturday evening that you provided. We had an absolutely amazing time, and lots of the guests have said that they did too. We were really delighted to see so many people dancing, I don't think that anyone was able to restrain themselves. It was just a pity that the whole evening had to come to an end."

"We had Kip and the Blue Diamond ceilidh band play at our fund raiser for the MNDA. We received so many comments stating what a fantastic band they were and a very fun evening was had by all. We will definitely be repeating next year. Would highly recommend this band."

"lack Velvet Band Hoedown Trio were so much fun! We booked them for our first Barn Dance and were unsure of how it would work. They fully put our minds at ease as everyone got stuck into the fun! Prompt, professional and organised. Easy to work with and enjoyable to have at our public event. 10/10 thanks guys! "

"Ceilidh With Us were amazing! We hired them for a post wedding celebration party and they were everything we wanted them to be. Super helpful in all the contact in the run up to the event and made us feel very relaxed. On the day they could not have been nicer and were super flexible/helpful. The caller for the Ceilidh was excellent - kept our guests very entertained! Thank you so much. I would 100% recommend you to anyone."

"The Publicans played at our presentation evening, which is an important date in the club's diary. The entertainment was fab, and very well received by our club members, who range from 13-89 We would book them again for a similar function in the future."

"Lilac, Remko & The Band, Thanks very much for the performing for us, it was fabulous. We have wonderful memories of our wedding day and feel so lucky to have got married before all the madness began and for your band to have been part of our special day. We meant to send you photos from our photographer, I will dig them out now while I remember. Hoping you and your family are well and managing at what I am sure is a terribly difficult time. Best wishes, Mark "

"Dear Martin and Anna, Joyce and I would like to thank you so very much for the tremendous set you performed for us all on Saturday night; it exceeded all of our expectations! Right from the word go, your professionalism and enthusiasm shone through, with both of you demonstrating superb musicianship combined with the excellent calling skills of Anna who got everyone up on their feet for the whole night! It gave all of us all an amazing evening to remember all our lives and greatly contributed to the success of the wedding as a whole. So thanks again and we will certainly bear you in mind if we have any other events coming up in the future! "

"We were delighted with the ceilidh band; they were lovely, professional and sounded brilliant! I was really impressed how they matched the energy of the guests really well, making sure to give little breaks or easier dances when energy was flagging and also played some lovely high energy numbers to get the dancing started! The venue was also really complimentary at how quick and professional they were at setting up and putting away at the end with no bother. Lastly, they pitched the level perfectly with some more difficult pieces and some easier ones that really suited our mostly beginner crowd. Their calling was fun and upbeat and they were polite and professional to a fault.

"Hi Aly, Just emailing to thank you and the Aluinn band members who played at our wedding on 7th July. The ceilidh was so much fun; we've been inundated with feedback from guests who really enjoyed the music and dancing! Several people, who by self-admission rarely dance, go involved which is a testament to your enthusiasm and clear instructions. We really appreciate your patience when teaching the dances. I'm sure the ceilidh will remain a talking point for years to come! All the best, Kathryn & Charlie."

"We had two wonderful ladies playing Irish music and songs at a home 21st birthday party. We had the BEST time thank you, and you guys really made the party. We’ve had such fab compliments from all the youngsters who really enjoyed your tunes - a mixture of trad folk songs and modern - and absolutely loved the couple of Ceilidh dances (even after a few drinks!) which you led so well for us, super fun. Thanks to you both for making it all so special. You really are spot on with your tunes and very talented musicians and singers. I will never understand how you can play three instruments at one time and make it all sound and feel so good. AMAZING and I would recommend for any event, young or old."

"Hi Gordon, Happy new year! Apologies for the delay in getting back to you we've just got home from our wedding. Thank you so much for playing at our wedding and being patient with ourselves and guests trying to learn some of the dances! It was so much fun and our guests told us how much they enjoyed themselves. Thanks again and all the best for the new year. "

"Judy was really well organised and communicated well with prompt responses, even suggesting a local venue that they know works well - exactly what you need when you're organising an event! The band sounded great, with a wide repertoire of songs from different backgrounds but all feeling familiar. The caller struck the perfect balance, teaching and guiding where necessary but allowing the dancers free reign when we got into the swing of it. Everyone had an amazing time, with many, many positive comments received about the band. I will be recommending the Barnbuskers to anyone planning a similar event."
