Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"Sophie and I just wanted to thank you guys so much for keeping everyone entertained during our wedding day back in August, you managed to do exactly what we had wanted and did with such high spirits. Thanks also for being so accommodating to all my little surprises like learning the music so that Samantha could sing the first song, and sorry for not having time to sing Kiss From A Rose. I'm sure you would have nailed that too though. Wishing The Shooglers all the best for the future, I'll always happily recommend you to friends. "

"Thank you once again for an outstanding performance at The Big Shindig. You really know how to keep that dance floor full :). Love the way you do a ceilidh and I hope you would be willing to attend The Big Shindig next year?!! "

"Hi guys. Just to say a big thank you for your performance on Saturday. You are a wonderful band and kept everyone up on their feet. It was a great conference and made all the better by yourselves. Well done! Jane Brown Robert Burns World Federation"

"A huge (and delayed) thank you to The Shooglers for making our wedding an absolute hoot! Despite being ceilidh novices, Davie and his fellow Shooglers kept us right! Even had the Chinese side up and dancing! Thanks guys! "

"I would just like to thank you for the wonderful performance on Sat night at my Daughter’s naming ceremony. We all had a great time, and everybody commented on how great the band was. I never laughed or enjoyed a dance so much and would like to have another party, just to have you play again. Please pass on our thanks to everybody, and we have already passed your details on to other people who are interested."

"The Tommy Aces played at our wedding recently, and we recommend them highly. The communication beforehand was excellent, ensuring they included our favourite songs. They also catered for our guests' requests. Their music, manner and vibe were excellent and everybody loved them, especially us!"

"The Black Velvet Band provided us with a fantastic ceilidh for our wedding reception. They really got everyone up and moving, so much better than a boring DJ set. They were even accommodating to our more inebriated guests and explained the dance moves clearly. We had a wonderful time and would consider them again for future parties."

"We hired It's No Reel Ceilidh Band for our wedding reception in May 2013, and were absolutely delighted with their professionalism, musicianship and the all round show. We appreciated their promptness and efficiency at responding to our queries and questions prior to wedding, and in fact, hiring them was one of the most stress-free and easiest parts of planning our wedding. Our guests were a mixture of seasoned Ceilidhers and complete novices, and everyone commented on how good the band were and what a great evening of dancing it was (the music, dancing and calling were excellent). As someone who took part in many Ceilidh's as a teenager, I have high expectations of what a ceilidh band should sound like, and these were met and far exceeded by Tom and the boys. We would heartily recommend 'It's No Reel' to anyone planning a Ceilidh no matter what the occasion. Thanks for a fabulous and memorable evening of dancing."

"Thank you for a great night last night! Everyone has been raving about it and there are a few bruised arms - signs of a great ceilidh. I hope the journey back is not too arduous. Have a great Christmas and new year and please pass on my thanks to the boys."

"I should say how much I enjoyed the ceilidh and your superb playing. It was a delight to both listen and dance to. You all have an extraordinary ability to drive the music whilst retaining an intricate coherence to it all – quite remarkable when you play without drums. And I know I'm not alone in enjoying the music; a number of friends made a point of saying how much they enjoyed it."

"I'm just emailing to say thank you to you and all of Kelly's Heros for your fantastic performance at our wedding on Saturday. Everyone loved you guys and had a great time. The Cèilidh dance was incredibly popular (even though most of us weren't that good at it!) and we've had comments from our guests time and time again about how much they loved 'the band'. Thanks again for helping make our day so special. "

"Blue Jewel were brilliant at our fundraising Ceilidh for Ukrainian Action. They filled Hunts Cider Barn with vigorous, happy dancers and we'll certainly want them again for any similar events in future."

"Hello Dermot, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye and thank you and Kevin personally. You were so encouraging and made this very nervous singer as comfortable as possible! You were both great and everyone loved the music. Thanks again and all the best "
