"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!"

"These lovely ladies came to our club for a second time Nov 2025 and did not disappoint! Beautiful souls and down to earth. Speacial mention the insane vocals which left me/us with goose bumps! Cannot wait for a return visit in 2026"

"The Shooglers are an amazing ceilidh Rock band of very talented musicians. And great people. We had so much fun, it was electrifying dancing to their great music. They made it so much fun, and instructed so well. Thank you, for helping to make our daughter’s and new son-in-law’s wedding a real dream wedding. Xx "

"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!"

"Words cannot describe how pleased we are about the exceptional entertainment provided by Dave, Mike and Gerry at our wedding in Durham. Their fantastic repertoire truly added a special and unique touch to our evening, and provided many of our guests from all corners the world a wonderful introduction to British folk music. Not to mention how patient and friendly their caller Dave was especially in teaching the dances to our guests, many of whom had never danced a Ceilidh before. In addition, their cheerfulness and easygoing disposition really helped us and our guests have a marvellous time. To this day, our guests still constantly praise the ceilidh music provided during the evening. Thank you so much and we would recommend them over and over again to anyone seeking quality entertainment for any event."

"Book them now you won’t be disappointed, my guests from age 8 to 80 loved this band. The amount of sadness when they stopped playing we could have danced until the early hours of the music licence had allowed ! Ben and the other members were amazing full of energy, coped with having to re jig a smallish space around without any worries. Dances were perfect and pitched at all levels of ability and if you didn’t or couldn’t dance it was fun to watch and tap along. Words from my guests were awesome, amazing, invigorating and the best fun amongst a few. Definitely worth booking you won’t be disappointed- Ben and co please be proud you make people’s nights ? you are a very talented, relational bunch I can’t wait until I’m 60 now as I’ll be booking you again ?"

"We had a ceilidh for a volunteer celebration. Even before the event Lilac was super helpful with suggestions of what timings would work well and how to encourage people to get involved. The band arrived in good time to set up and we’re really friendly. They were flexible on the night without us needing to intervene and got people dancing again after a break for speeches. The band also included those with less mobility and were great and encouraging everyone to get involved. We had the majority of people dancing throughout the event. I would totally recommend."

"Hi Michael, Thank you so much for Sunday, The Ceilidh was great fun and everyone enjoyed it. Although, I didn't get much dancing in, it sounded great and everyone commented on how superb you and the other chaps were. So once again Thank you very much, Kind regards, Louise and Rob"
