Reviews of Bands & Ensembles

Edinburgh Harpist
"Sophie was amazing, her exquisite music lifted our whole event. I had the good fortune to sign up for a harp lesson a few days before also, and so it was wonderful to have made a connection beforehand! Everything about Sophie was absolutely excellent! She has our whole-hearted praise!"

Karen Robertson - private wedding
The Sweeney Ceilidh Band
"The band were incredible. We had a lot of guests who had never been to a ceilidh before, however we were so impressed that almost everyone was up and dancing, which was largely down to the excellent and engaging caller. It was so much fun! Great communication before the event, and lovely people to talk to on the day. We loved every minute, thank you!"

Lucy - Wedding
Lily Mai & The Echoes
"We had Lily Mai & The Echoes perform at a retirement party and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Lily’s voice is stunning and the band created the perfect atmosphere — relaxed, classy, and uplifting. They read the room beautifully, mixing soulful favourites with upbeat tracks that had everyone smiling and singing along. So many guests commented on how good the music was. Professional, friendly, and hugely talented — we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for any celebration."

Z Kadir - Retirement Party
Simply Two
"What an amazing night we had with the Simply girls entertaining us! Everyone was saying how great it was having two saxes, we all loved it. True professionals that worked seemlessly with our DJ. THANK YOU!"
10th January 2026
James & Juliet - Wedding
The Lahdidahs - Vintage Vocals
"What a fabulous event we had for the 80th V.E. Day. The Lahdidahs were brilliant, leading the old time favourite songs and even leading and teaching The Palais Glide to the audience, finishing with the usual favourites songs from the 40s. All 3 ladies of the Lahdidahs had plenty of energy and fun. I would definitely recommend the group to anyone who would be guaranteed a wonderful event. "

Linda Copper, President - Inner Wheel
Jet Set Stereo
"Hired these guys for a corporate event and they did a great job. Easy to work with, showed up prepared, and sounded really good. The crowd had a great time. Would definitely hire them again "

Frequently asked questions

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. It’s sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain.If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.
Each event is different but the typical performance time for bands & ensembles is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.
Booking bands & ensembles as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.
Most bands & ensembles are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some bands & ensembles have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.
Frequently asked questions about Bands & Ensembles, how to register and how results are ordered are in the help & FAQs.
