"Please pass on my massive thanks to the band for being wonderful! It was great! Black Velvet Band played at our wedding and they were great. Lovely people who got everyone on to the dance floor and kept them there – highly recommended."

"Thank you so much to Ceilidh With Us for all the band did for our wedding, we absolutely loved the ceilidh - it was so much fun and we are 100% satisfied! 😃 The caller was fantastic and explained everything very clearly. The music was really fun and it was helpful when songs got gradually faster; the speed was perfect. The band also managed the number of people well, as there were a lot of people for the space. The communication with the band has been absolutely fantastic as well in terms of meetings, arranging things behind the scenes, and coordinating with the venue. We ended up leaving a bit early simply because we were absolutely exhausted by that point, and the band were wonderful and accommodating in terms of changing the order of songs, so thank you for that - it was a shame we couldn’t stay right until the end!"

"We had a great time ably assisted by the music and calling of the Black Velvet Ceilidh Band. Thank you so much! The band were very adaptable, as we changed the arrangement for the sets on the night, and reassured that they were there to entertain - which they certainly did. They got people up dancing from the first note to the last and many, many guests have commented how much they enjoyed the ceilidh."

"We booked Kellys Heroes to play at our wedding earlier this year and we were not disappointed! Everyone at our wedding was up on the dance floor, dancing for the entire set, they're great musicians with a great set list. I think all of our guests could have gone on for the rest of the night. Everyone still tells us that it was one of the highlights of any wedding they've been to. Thank you! "

"We were looking for a Ceilidh band for our wedding anniversary and we came across the Willow Tree Barn Dance Band, and they were absolutely fantastic and would highly recommend them. All our guests commented on how good they were, and Mick was great in getting everyone up dancing with instructions on the particular routine for each song. We booked with Last Minute Musicians and the whole process was so easy, and Sarah-Jayne was wonderful to work with through the arrangement stages. We would highly recommended them both."

"We hired Rachel to perform at a country themed hen party and she was fab. Everyone enjoyed singing and learning to line dance, Rachel even got the bride up to sing a duet. Rachel is very talented and was super easy to book, with clear information provided beforehand. Will definitely be booking Rachel for the next country themed party that we have! "

"We just wanted to say thank you to the Black Velvet Band for bringing the fun and music to our Staff Christmas party!! Our guests loved how they weaved some Christmas ditties into the tunes and the energy the caller brought to the evening! Thank you again for such a fun evening!!"

"Thank you so much for providing the very excellent music and superb instructions at our wedding party. Many of our guests remarked how much they enjoyed the ceilidh and what fun it all was. The combination of Scottish and tango worked even better than we could have imagined."

"A huge thanks to The Shooglers for a fantastic evening at Ross Priory for Kathryn's 50th Birthday Ceilidh. The band were fantastic and got everyone up dancing from the bairns ( The "Duracell Baby" 18-month-old Ava) to the adults (80+ year old gran) in what was a memorable night for our family and friends. The pattern was good, the ceilidh music was great and Pink Floyd's "The Wall" during A Dashing White Sergeant is STILL being talked about. Thanks for a great gig guys and would highly recommend for a booking...why would you choose anyone other than The Rockiest Ceilidh band in the World? "

"Thank you very much for the recommending The Shooglers Band for the Warrant Officers and Senior Rates Mess Christmas Ball. The evening was a great success and I received several comments on how good the band was, and their ability to get people onto the dance floor and then of course keeping them there. I will certainly recommend them to others and also look to using them for future functions in the Mess. Once again many thanks. "
