"Tim is an absolutely amazing guitarist and singer. He made our night. His range of songs is so varied and his voice is fantastic. On top of this he is a genuinely lovely person to have at your party. Could not recommend him highly enough, he entertained our 40 guests all night through welcome drinks, dinner and then rocking on the dance floor, people were constantly asking where we found him. Will be booking Tim again and hope to see his band soon as well. Thank you Tim!!!!!"

"I booked Good Habits for my 40th boat birthday party after hearing them play at the Green Note in Camden. I always loved the cello and accordion, but what I like best of them is their songs and energy. They really set the tone for what was an amazing day and all my guests thought Good Habits were brilliant. Some of my friends have even been booking them for their events. I cannot recommend them enough!"

"After a decade or so in London, he has lost none of his native musical ability on accordion or as a bel canto tenor. The duo's irreverence, including introducing Harrison's virtuoso violin flourishes as if playing at the Queen Vic, and sundry comic turns, help give their musical sketches a real sense of pace. Yet for all their larking around, when the music demands gravitas and expression, it's there in spades."

"I would have no hesitation in recommending Luc, he played at our recent wedding and created a magical and perfect atmosphere. The harp sounded amazing, Luc played a variety of both classical and modern music as requested by us. Luc arrived in plenty of time and set up with no fuss. He is so talented and made our day perfect, we can’t thank him enough for managing to get to us in the middle of Storm Eunice."

"A huge thank you to Tom and the Its No Reel band who were brilliantly superb from our first email to the last dance of our wedding. No query went unanswered nor late and Tom accommodated our every needs. It couldn't have been easier booking them and we knew just how good their ceilidh music was from their videos. Our families are frequent ceilidh dancers and they were very impressed by the music and calling and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Even those unknown to ceilidh dancing were happily enticed to the dance floor and taken through the steps. The ceilidh was one of the most fun parts of our wedding day and I'd highly recommend everyone to hire Its No Reel! Thank you very much for a fantastic end to our wedding day and we hope to see you again!"

"I recently organised a surprise 40th birthday barn dance for my wife’s 40th birthday. Kip whom I was in contact with prior to the event was helpful and a breeze to deal with and when it came to the event itself Kip and the band were absolutely amazing! Thank you so much the three of you, you really made it a fun, hilarious and quality evening that we will always remember. So many people who’d never been to a barn dance have since said to me they are converts, and those that already had experience of ceilidhs extolled your virtues too. These things can hinge on the caller and Kip gauged the crowd perfectly - really making sure we all had a fantastic evening. Thank you so much again, would not hesitate to recommend or book again. Please let us know when you play at Plympton Guildhall next, we will definitely be there. Best Greg"

"Just a note to thank you so much for last Saturday. You and the band were superb! You played with such energy which got everyone including the reluctant ones onto the floor. Your caller was lovely and very good humoured and patient with us which made a big difference too. I will send over some snaps including of you addressing the haggis, which I hope you will be able to use. We’ve had brilliant feedback and made over £3,700 towards our fund …... which exceeded our expectations! Very many thanks. "

"We're so glad we chose It's No' Reel as our wedding band! They were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. We were drawn into their lovely website by the amazing Game of Thrones cover video. Organising everything via email was so easy, and it was refreshing to get a clear idea of what was involved early on. Not only were they super professional on the day, they were also great fun and really responded to our guests on the dance floor by switching between ceilidh and our favourite dance tunes. Seeing my parents dance to 'House of Pain - Jump Around' was a personal highlight... The non-Scottish guests got the hang of the ceilidh moves in no time thanks to the great caller. Our guests were raving about the band for weeks afterwards. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!"
