Review Centre: Barn Dance Bands

"We booked these guys for our wedding in May 2022 and in one word they were AMAZING!!! (apologies for the delayed review guys.. having technology problems) We wanted a ceilidh dance for a part of the night along with more modern and 'traditional' wedding wedding party songs later on, and to be honest we were struggling to find any groups that 'fit the bill. Then we found Ceilidh With Us. Right from the first contact we knew it was going to just what we wanted and all throughout the process they were so helpful, from organising the timetable of the evening, to working with our song lists and making it all fit together to create one hell of a fantastic night. Lilac performed our first dance song amazingly, we couldn't have been happier, and the ceilidh went down a storm (even if we all struggled with the dashing white sergeant - if you know you know). In short I can not recommend these guys more highly. You will not regret hiring them."

"Charlotte, Richard and Tony saved the day when the caller we had originally booked was taken into hospital shortly before the date of our party. A great time, lots of fun, laughter and enjoyment. A lovely group. Thank you so much."

Reply by Charlotte Oliver Barn dance/ceilidh caller
It was a pleasure, a lovely crowd to work with. Cheers, Charlotte Oliver (Tight Squeeze Ceilidh Band)

"The Shooglers were real stars at our wedding in Lochgoilhead in October. They performed a perfect mix of ceilidh and rock covers, sometimes in the same dance! It really had everyone up on the dance floor for most of the evening. Afterwards, everyone wanted to know where we'd got them from including the venue coordinator who sees bands every week. Most of all, they have a great sense of humour - they realise it's all about everyone having a great time. Thanks again guys, you were awesome. "

"We had a ceilidh for our wedding last week. Jake, Aidan, Anna and Rob were incredible. Jake in particular made the night and EVERYONE has said this to us, asking where we found him and that his enthusiasm got everyone up and dancing. The band were very flexible in terms of timings on the night as we were a bit delayed for one reason or another but they were great. Truly amazing and we can’t say thank you enough! The venue have echoed how great and how professional the band were, and are looking forward to having them back in the near future for another wedding. They all loved having a ceilidh there too! Cannot fault the whole experience from start to finish and it made the night so perfect. Would love to have a ceilidh every weekend..!"

"The band played at my daughter’s wedding reception on Saturday and really made the evening go with a swing. All the communication in the run up to the event was good – what music we were looking for, arrangements about set up, timings, etc. Musically, they are an excellent band."

"The performance by Black Velvet Band Irish Trio at The Midlands Game Fair was excellent and went down very well with the crowd. To be done again hopefully!"

"The Craigi Ceilidh band were excellent. Perfect for my 60th birthday party with all levels of experience and agility catered for. The caller and band made the whole event run smoothly and all the guests commented on how much they enjoyed the evening. Booking the band proved to be a very straightforward exercise with good communication before the event from both the band and Last Minute Musicians."

"Amazing band, booked them for my partner's surprise 50th Birthday party and they really made it something special. We all had the best time and they got the crowd dancing (and line dancing) loads. Loved the barn dancing as well. Not a bad word to say. Highly recommend!! "

"Dear Davie, I hope this email finds you well! On behalf of the EUHKIS committee, I'd like to thank you and The Shooglers so much for playing for us for our Asian Ball, and for your patience throughout the planning process. Everyone had a great time and the band got glowing reviews - we really appreciate your involvement in making our event as great as it was, and we hope you enjoyed the evening as well! Thank you very much again, and we will most certainly be in touch should we need a ceilidh band for future events! "
