Reviews of Bands & Ensembles

Vaska Ensemble
"The Vaska Ensemble are amazing – so friendly, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Their talent is incredible and they created such a brilliant atmosphere for our event at the Barbican. Everyone was talking about how fantastic they were - they truly made the night feel special."

Rachel - Bonnier Books
The Loose Cannons Band
"Thank you so much for performing at our awards event. You brought the perfect atmosphere - your music kept people smiling, dancing, and engaged from start to finish. We’ve received so many compliments about your set from the attendees and mess staff. Your professionalism, flexibility, and enthusiasm made working with you a pleasure. We truly appreciate everything you did to make the event memorable, hoping your available the next time I have an event. Thankyou again"

Chris - RMA awards night
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
The Brian K Trio
"These guys are fantastic! Such musicianship and an excellent range of songs, and cracking guitar solos. Brian is also incredibly professional and easy-going. One of my top band choices for the central belt every time."
7th January 2026
Alex - Booker
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
Three Quarters of a Quartet
"We had the absolute pleasure of having Three Quarters of a Quartet perform at our wedding. From the moment they started playing, the dance floor was packed. They were professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about their music! "

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.
