Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"Blue Jewel played our wedding in August 2023 and were absolutely amazing! Steve was really great to communicate with leading up the event and on the day they blew our guests away with a super varied set that had literally everyone on the dancefloor. There were a few ceilidh pros in the party who loved getting to know some new dances and there were also total amateurs who found it very accessible and developed a new love for dancing. I can't recommend them highly enough and will definitely be trying to come up with an excuse to have another ceilidh in the future!"

"Davie, I just wanted to contact you to say, ‘thank you VERY much, indeed’ to you and your band members for performing last Friday evening at the annual Grange Dyvours Tennis Club ‘Snow Ball’ and making it the tremendous success that it was. I have been to many weddings, ceilidhs and parties over the years and danced to many bands and I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that ‘The Big Shoogle’ stands head and shoulders above the rest. Who would have thought that weaving in Pink Floyd and Deep Purple tracks in the middle of a Dashing White Sergeant would have worked but it did! You were an absolute pleasure to deal with, before our event; you all drove a considerable distance to arrive, at exactly the time requested, to set up all your equipment then, after our dinner, you returned to put on the most amazing performance. Some of our (non-Scottish) members had never danced some of the dances before but you made sure to talk everyone through what was expected, as a warm up, before the mayhem began. My face was sore laughing, at the end of some of those dances. Just brilliant. Our ‘Snow Ball’ on Friday evening was an astounding success and we have you to thank for that. Absolutely first class. P.s. Also, thanks for taking our booking for our ball, next Christmas. I wanted to get in quick to secure you as I know how much in demand you are! "

"Excellent from first to last contact regarding the booking. Very professional and on the ball - no waiting or chasing to see if the booking has been made or performer confirmed. Brilliant - have already recommended to people. The guests thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment and how Josh mingled with guests - superb performer. Thank you so much for making our day!"

"The Tommy Aces recently performed at our national launch event at the Southbank Centre and they were outstanding. They were talented, fun and a major talking point for the evening"

"Attended the Sewerby Food Festival this weekend. Great festival with cookery demos from Wolds Cookery School, but the event was really enhanced by the Shamrock Experience - really talented band which kept the visitors entertained and generated a great atmosphere "

"We booked Luc Walpot to play at our winter wedding and we were not disappointed. His beautiful selection of music set the tone for the day and our guests were very complimentary. We would highly recommend Luc to anyone organising a wedding or for any event. His beautiful harp playing completed our intimate wedding. Many thanks. Simon and Leanne."

"Lilac, Remko and all of the band are simply brilliant!! Wholeheartedly recommended! We hired Funk With Us to play at our wedding party. From the very first enquiry Lilac was super friendly, very considerate of what we wanted, flexible and always there to answer our questions and offer good suggestions on the song lists, set-up, etc. And the performance on the night was amazing!! High quality sound and musicianship, but more importantly the whole band did a fantastic job in creating a fun party vibe which got everyone dancing for hours. All of our guests commented for days afterwards how great they were! Thank you Funk With Us, you guys rock!!! ?"

"Hi Michael, Just a short note to thank you very much to you and the rest of the band for a superb night. Everyone has said what a great day we had and also the band were great with the music and the instructions. It was really great!"

"Whilst some duos stick to a traditional & tried and tested route, A & B have avoided that. They have chosen a hip approach to their covers and original set! Not a light-hearted approach either! They are here to play... to give a new listening experience... a must see in the LIVE! Unique in all aspects."

"Ben and the Shamrock Experience provided us with music for our wedding day and they proved to be the perfect wedding band. From the moment we booked, we were in contact, meaning we were confident with our wedding music throughout the whole planning process. Ben provided some beautiful music for the church which suited the occasion perfectly. Later in the evening the band provided a ceilidh that all of our wedding guests loved followed by some traditional Irish music which brought the house down (in a good way!) We couldn't recommend the Shamrock Experience enough, they truly made our day - thanks guys!"

"Thank you *so* much for playing at Katrina and Ewan's wedding, judging by all the sweaty faces and shredded feet- you could tell everyone had an amazing time! People singing your praises round the breakfast table this morning. Fantastic as always! "

"I’m sorry I did not get the chance to speak to you yesterday, so I wanted to say thank you for the beautiful music you played for my Dad’s funeral. There had been miscommunication and the mourners were gathered outside the chapel rather than at the gate. Nevertheless it made the sad occasion very special to all of us to hear the Scottish pipes leading my Dad on his final journey, and it will be a cherished memory for me always. Thank you again."
