"I just wanted to express our thanks for playing at our wedding reception on Friday. We loved the mix of traditional ceilidh and ceilidh covers you played, as well as the 80s music. Thanks too for joining in with our guests and taking time to speak to the children - it was much appreciated and made everyone feel part of the evening. We will certainly recommend you to everyone we know!"

"Hi Derek, Scott and the rest of the PCB, I just wanted to say a massive thank you (again) for your wonderful performance last Saturday. The ceilidh/disco combination suited everybody, and we were delighted that you were able to persuade so many people to join in. The instruction you provided was just right, gently mocking our general ineptitude and praising effusively when we got something right! We would definitely be happy to ask you to perform at our next daughter’s wedding (but I’m hoping this will be a few years in the future …). Melanie and I wish you all lots of success with your band in the future. You are all talented and dedicated musicians who clearly love what you do. Many congratulations ! Best Wishes, Nigel Duthie"

"Your singing and playing was absolutely wonderful, and created exactly the right mood during our wedding breakfast. I was very impressed by your professionalism – you dressed the part, set up quickly and efficiently, and made sure that the whole day was stress free."

"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."

"The Shamrock experience were truly brilliant. A really fun, friendly and energetic band who came to play for my family and friends at my 21st. Their playing was fantastic, running a ceilidh which was really enjoyed by everyone. It was the perfect band for the occasion and I highly recommend them."

"We just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a huge THANK YOU for making our wedding day so incredible with the Ceilidh! Everyone has been raving about it for the last two days. As you saw most people had never been to a ceilidh before and now I think they're hooked. You guys really made the day magical. Thanks also for accommodating the moment for Kevin and his mom and the Game of Thrones intro too :) "

"Thank you George! We had such a lovely evening (I am still aching now). Lots of the guests had never been to a ceilidh before and many have said what a wonderful time they had, and how great the band were. There is even talk of organising a village ceilidh - watch this space!"

"Hi Martin, We just wanted to say once more thank you so much for being so brilliant on Thursday. The music was spot on, your outfits were all spot on and we’ve had lots of comments saying that the reception was a lot of people’s favourite bit of the evening. I suspect the music had a lot to do with that. We hope you guys enjoyed it. Best wishes, William and Jen."

"Hi John, It's Ruth here - the Birthday girl from the Klezmer Keilidh on 20th Apr. I wanted to thank you and Band for a simply wonderful evening. Everyone had a fabulous time, people have come up and said to me "as soon as the Band started playing" they just had to "get up and dance!" Another friend said that he had the "Best fun ever" The first piece was great at getting everyone up and involved. Really fun. Then I appreciated being able to lead Tsadik Katamar, and Jerusalama. Having some dances in 2s, and other in 3s allowed for those who came as a couple, or who came on their own to join with others. Thank you so, so much, again. Best wishes, Ruth"

"Once again thanks for playing! The band is one of the key aspects of the night and you never fail to deliver. Everyone loved the whole night, was delighted to get people who had never been to a ceilidh up dancing and this morning there were compliments flying around left right and centre with how happy they were with the band. Delighted! Thanks again guys. "

"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!"

"From day 1, Stargazers were incredibly helpful in the planning stages. They consistently tried their best to overcome any issues along the way which was most appreciated. On the day itself, the group far exceeded our expectations and we received comments from most of our guests about the band. I would FOR SURE recommend Stargazers for any function that you may have. They were worth every penny and more!!"
