Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"Kip and the band played at our wedding last weekend and they were brilliant! Everyone loved the ceilidh and they managed to get most people dancing. They were also very flexible and understanding when our plan for the day was very behind schedule. We'd highly recommend booking them. "

"They were lovely people and everyone there enjoyed their music. It was a Country Fair and due to their efforts we had people dancing on the grass with straw bales around to sit on. Happy people! Job well done. Thank you. We would certainly book them again for another event."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio / Georgia's Wedding Ceilidh / October 2024 It was so much fun to have the trio along and they were so clear with their instructions that even the French at our wedding could follow along. Mike’s communication was superb and at one point extremely helpful by replying quickly with a key document, as we dealt with a problem with our venue. Thank you all."

"Thank you so much! Rebecca was so good, the music was beautiful and a few people commented on the different songs that she played and how lovely it was. She set the tone beautifully and if I was to get married again I would definitely use her. "

""Thank you so much for coming to play for us at our Officers’ Mess Ceilidh. We really enjoyed the dancing, the music and the free-style playing in between dances. It was the perfect atmosphere setter for the relaxed ‘drinks party’ moments and a fantastic switch to ‘high-energy’ dancing when needed. Every guest had good things to say and all thoroughly enjoyed the music. Having heard many Ceilidh bands over the years, yours stood out for as having a relaxed ‘joyfulness’ about it. Your band’s professionalism and ease with the guests made my job as an event organiser really easy. I cannot recommend using your band enough - especially being willing to drive all the way from London! Thank you again for a great evening! Event Organiser, Burns’ Night dinner and Ceilidh for serving soldiers.” (Regiment not given due to security reasons)"

"An excellent bash – the band were fantastic! Everyone got up and danced. The caller did a great job. If we have another Birthday Bash, we will definitely be booking the band again. I have no hesitation recommending them."

"Hi Helen You have recently played at our wedding. I just wanted to send a quick message to thank you for your amazing performance. Both my partner and I haven’t quite been able to get over how brilliant you guys were. We have had floods of messages from guests, the venue and our external suppliers (DJ, photographers and photo booth) saying how amazing you were, with the photo booth attendant showing me his goosebumps whilst you played! You guys really made the night what it was and we can’t thank you enough! We hope to see you guys playing again soon! Kind regards Liam and Amy"
