Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"We recently hired It's No' Reel Ceilidh Band for our wedding and were extremely pleased. Right from the beginning, communicating with the band was easy and stress free. The band arrived on time and set up without disturbing our reception in the next room. The band played exceptionally and everyone had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great band!"

"Thursday night was a blast. Couldn’t have gone any better! On Thursday the 25th of January, the Exeter Caledonian Society hosted a Burns Night Ball accompanied by the Black Velvet Band. The band was brilliant. Their musical prowess, stamina and all round musicianship was a joy to work with - and to listen to - making the night ever better. I am so thankful for what they did. The band is easy to work with, knowledgeable about timings and can cater to any requirements. "

"What an amazing evening of live ceilidh music. The group were a hit with people of all ages and everyone in the room was up dancing! We have had wonderful comments about the music and the superb calling. I have even had a request for the details so a birthday party can be booked in plenty of time! A huge thank you for reading the room and providing an awesome service!"

"We had The Big Moose Ceilidh Band play at our wedding recently and they were amazing! From start to finish communication was easy, Shuggie was really helpful when we were choosing our songs and on the night, the calling was solid, steps were easy to follow (even for those new to Ceilidh) and everyone was up and dancing! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Shuggie and his team of music playing bandits for any event. Thanks for such a fun night! "

"It’s No' Reel Scottish Ceilidh Band was absolutely amazing. My husband is Scottish and I am Venezuelan so we wanted to have a mix of both worlds, half ceilidh and half merengue/salsa. The band was very flexible and happy to alternate with the salsa sessions! They were great and on board with the idea! Organizing and coordinating with the band was very easy and they were great helped when choosing the first dance! We went for the four piece band and it truly was phenomenal, they made everyone feel comfortable and were amazing with the directions for both the Scottish and International (both from America, Venezuela and the States and Europe). Everyone enjoyed themselves and kept saying how amazing the band was months after!! Definitely recommend them!"

"the New Fox Band were phenomenal at our wedding. They are brilliant musicians and learnt a special request for our first dance. They played 2 very entertaining sets that kept the dance floor full all night, while giving instructions clear enough for a large group of not-so-sober guests! It really made the evening, I would 100% recommend them to anyone"

"I just wanted to write to say thank you so much for yesterday evening, I have had so many messages since saying how much they all enjoyed it and have now had requests for a reeling club at school and also 3 of those older (naughty!) boys asking about your details as they would like to have a reeling party! I think my mission was to convert a few people so job done I’d say. You were very patient with us all!"

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Emma’s Daughter’s Wedding – April 2025 What a brilliant evening! The band were exactly what we wanted for my daughter’s wedding and really helped the reception go with a swing. Good music and the caller was great fun and guided us through the dances. Really good communication leading up to the wedding, too. Thank you for a fabulous evening. "
