Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for providing such an amazing Ceilidh at our wedding. We had so much fun all night and our guests absolutely loved it. Thank you for helping us fill the floor all night and encouraging everyone to join in and get involved regardless of whether they had been to a Ceilidh before. Everyone had a great night. Best wishes! "

"From the beginning everything about booking the band was carried out in an extremely professional manner. The agent was very helpful and it didn’t take long for everything to be confirmed for the big party- my daughter’s 21st. A few weeks before the event Ruth contacted me to discuss music ideas. Straightaway I sensed her enthusiasm and enjoyment for what she does and we couldn’t wait for the music on the night. On the night everyone turned up as arranged and the band was left to set up. Then the best bit!! The music was absolutely amazing. It was impossible not to be toe tapping and bopping throughout the set. The age range was wide from 6 to 65 and the band had them all up dancing and smiling. The line dance caller was doing a grand job explaining all the moves and shouting out encouragement- and rescuing the ones who got a bit lost!! The band played 2 one hour sets ( kindly covering for me after the first set as the food wasn’t quite ready!!) and also performing the Christmas song “Fairy Tale of New York” in the middle of summer as it’s my daughter’s favourite song!! Everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the massive amount of positive feedback from them all really makes you know that the party went well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone- you won’t be disappointed."

"You guys were fabulous and everyone was happy, including the children who listened. Everyone understood the call, and that meant we all really enjoyed dancing with a great band! "

"These guys did all the music at Douglas and Helen’s wedding on Saturday - any band who can convincingly slip a Pink Floyd cover into a round of the dashing white sergeant definitely get my vote - please check them out folks! "

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Simon’s Wedding – April 2025 Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio performed at our Wedding reception. The music was fantastic and Alan the caller talked our guests through the dances with patience and wit. Our guests included some serious Scottish dancing enthusiasts together with a lot of enthusiastic amateurs, complete beginners and no hopers – all of whom had an absolute blast! We would highly recommend the band and a couple of our guests made enquiries about booking them for upcoming events, which speaks for itself. Thank you for providing us with fantastic memories filled with joy and laughter."

"I should like to express my thanks for the splendid Ceilidh you put on for my daughter’s wedding last Friday. The music was just wonderful and the evening was one I shall remember with the greatest of pleasure. The band was just terrific & your Caller such an asset. I only hope I shall be able to enjoy your music again in the not too distant future [I have a daughter & a son still to get married] and I shall certainly give my friends a most glowing recommendation"

"We booked Kelly’s Heroes for our Mums 70th Birthday party. There was a large spectrum of ages and their music was enjoyed by all! Outstanding service from start to finish. They played ALL the family favourites from their set list and EVERYONE was raving about their performance! Easily the BEST IRISH BAND I’ve seen. Thank you sooooooo much Kelly’s Heroes, you were AMAZING!"

"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 "

"Hi I had Lisa play for us at our wedding in December '13. She is an amazingly talented musician and very easy to work with when organising the music for the church and reception. We had some ideas of our own and Lisa was able to play the songs we requested as well as recommending a few more that beautiful on the day. She incorporated the harp and banjo into our requested songs and she has a voice that has to be heard to be believed! Lisa's music helped to create a very special atmosphere and made our day even more memorable! I could not recommend more highly!"
