"Davie, At last I am getting a minute to thank you and the guys for an excellent evening playing at our Silver Wedding at Meldrum House. The music was fabulous, everything we expected and more! All our guests have been telling us how much they enjoyed the band, even those not energetic enough to dance say that they very much enjoyed listening to you play. We were well and truly shoogled and I know I wasn’t the only one with aching muscles the next day! Great fun, thanks for helping to make our special occasion a huge success, we all had a fantastic time. The only complaint we had was that the party finished too soon!"

"Thanks for an amazing night at the Ghillie Dhu Ceilidh last night! Great music and thanks for agreeing to a second round of arm-wrenchingly brilliant Orcadian Strip the Willow! Loved it!!"

"We booked the band for our wedding reception back in October. We are both huge Irish music fans and have had several memorable trips to Ireland so it was especially important to us to have a live Irish band on our big day. We spend a fair amount of time looking for the “perfect Irish band” and were over the moon to have found the Extonions. From the initial enquiry Mac was both friendly and very professional. He instantly made us feel like we had made the right decision and was more than happy to include any special song requests we had. He then made sure they included on the night and that everyone had a great time. All the band members were lovely and friendly chatting to our guests and fitted in perfectly with our relaxed party atmosphere. Many of our guests have commented on how great they were and we would not hesitate in booking them again in the future or recommending them to others. Thanks so much for making our wedding day so memorable."

"Sound with us were fantastic at our country and western night. Their lively set had everyone on their feet, and the line dancing was a real hit! The band were so good and really captured the spirit of the fun, feel - good night!"

"They were awesome, they were on time, they made sure the dance floor was big enough, helped sort the running order of the night but most importantly the music, vocals and calling were faultless. They made sure we had a great night, much fun and it was unforgettable! Thank you Kellys Heroes, thoroughly recommend you!"

"Thanks you so much The Shooglers for playing at our wedding in April. I booked you after receiving a recommendation from the bass player of my own band. He was at a function you guys were playing at last year and he raved about you so much i was really glad you were able to play for us. There were guests from Canada, Dublin and New Zealand at our wedding and they were all joining in and everyone had a superb night. I especially enjoyed how you blended in rock and pop tunes with some of the Ceilidh dances. I will definitely recommend you guys to anyone I can and if I organize another bash in the future i'll be looking The Shoogle up! Thanks so much on behalf of my new wife Wendy and myself."

"These lovely ladies came to our club for a second time Nov 2025 and did not disappoint! Beautiful souls and down to earth. Speacial mention the insane vocals which left me/us with goose bumps! Cannot wait for a return visit in 2026"

"Rejigged played for our recent anniversary party. They were an excellent band and caller who got nearly everyone, including ceilidh novices, on their feet and dancing, making the evening great fun. Regards Alison "

"Blue Jewel were truly amazing! Every guest at our wedding were up and dancing which made our wedding all the more enjoyable for all. Everyone had a great time. The guys were excellent at their craft and kip was a very patient and clear instructor (despite most being useless and a touch tipsy) Can't fault them. If you were to book them for your event, you will have a great time Thank you Kip et al for an excellent evening"

"I booked Whisky & Ginger for my Gran and Grandad's wedding anniversary party and they were absolutely great! From our first interaction, they were super professional and really put my mind at ease with everything else I had to organise. I truly felt I could just leave them to get on with it and not have to worry. And I was right! They arrived on the day, set-up super quickly and super subtly. We were a bit delayed with our timings of other events during the day and they were so helpful and willing to adapt and delay what they had planned. They even took some last minute requests from us on the day and included them in their set which really made it special for my Gran as they were able to perform her favourite song. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone thinking about booking, they were totally professional, entertaining and fun!!!! Thank you again!!!!!"

"Just a quick note to say thank you so much for playing so brilliantly at the event on Saturday. There has been lots of positive feedback from the event, and we really hope that you will be able to play for us again next year. Thank you especially for managing to get through the programme in such limited time, to make the evening stress free for all of us! "

"F.O.B. Band were amazing! The music was fantastic and the band members were so lovely. We had the best time! The dances were easy to follow and the caller was so patient with us all. We had a five year old and an 87 year old dancing with us which was fantastic. Highly recommend for an event that will cater for everyone regardless of age or fitness."
