5 stars - Jigs n Gigs Ceilidh are Highly Recommended
booked Jigs n Gigs Ceilidh for their event

“This ceilidh band did not disappoint! They played at one of the University of St Andrews’ Charity Balls and they ensured we all danced into the night! Dances were clearly called, there was a mix of old and new ones (even for the Scots!), the music was amazing and very lively, and everyone had the best time! I would definitely recommend! Thank you!”


Everyone had a fantastic time

5 stars - Jigs n Gigs Ceilidh are Highly Recommended
booked Jigs n Gigs Ceilidh for their event

“I would highly recommend this band, they entertained us at our daughter’s 40th birthday party in February, they talked us through all the dances, some of which we had never heard of but thoroughly enjoyed. The floor was never empty, even the children joined in and had fun learning to dance. Excellent value for money too.”


The band were a big hit with the office team!

5 stars - Gypsy Rogues are Highly Recommended

“The band were great - we were a small group but they had everyone up dancing from the first song. They played for our office Christmas party and we had a fantastic night. Can definitely recommend them for any party where you want some fun!”

5 stars - The Thirty-Nine Steps Trio are Highly Recommended
booked The Thirty-Nine Steps Trio for their event in Somerset

“The Thirty-Nine Steps Ceilidh Band played at our private party recently and were excellent. All aspects of the gig went very well, right from the very first contact with the band to discuss what we wanted through to the end of the gig. The music-making was of a very high standard and the caller managed to get all but three of our large party of 50-70 year olds "do-si-do-ing" and "preomenading th...”


Perfect Ceilidh band for lively wedding

5 stars - Rakish Paddy are Highly Recommended
booked Rakish Paddy for their Wedding in London

“Fabulous caller who led a very lively crowd of 150 to have great fun. The musicians were exceptional and the added bonus of the songs (boy can the drummer sing) was wonderful. We had the most fun at our wedding. Thank you so much to Rakish Paddy.”


The best ceilidh band we’ve ever danced to!

5 stars - Gypsy Rogues are Highly Recommended
booked Gypsy Rogues for their Wedding in Northamptonshire

“Gypsy Rogues did an amazing ceilidh for us at our wedding on Saturday. Lively, funny, and fantastic musicians - we and our guests had a brilliant time. The ceilidh dances were well chosen, well instructed and lots of fun, and the music between dances really set up a party atmosphere. Dave liaised smoothly with the other band that were playing after the ceilidh, to ensure that the logistics were al...”


Would definitely book them again

5 stars - Polychorea are Highly Recommended
booked Polychorea for their event

“I booked Polychorea for a significant birthday gathering last year and couldn't have been more delighted. The booking process was easy and Cornelius was easy to reach and responsive to any queries. The music was just brilliant and our guests - some of whom were initially reluctant to join in - had a ball. It was a wonderful, very entertaining and inclusive evening and a musical treat. Cannot rate ...”


Best wedding band ever!

5 stars - Reels Ceilidh Band are Highly Recommended

“Wonderful combination of ceilidh music (with fun twists) and modern music. Our guests could not stop dancing and the reel of fortune have been the talk of the town since! Excellent musicians who are professional and great at calling dances and keeping the crowd entertained. We will certainly recommend this band to everyone for any event because they are just brilliant! Thanks again!”


If your looking for a good night then choose these guys. They won’t let you down...

5 stars - Reels Ceilidh Band are Highly Recommended
booked Reels Ceilidh Band for their Wedding

“Reels Ceilidh did my husband and I proud! They kept everyone on the dance floor and gave everyone a good night. Everyone who I had chance to speak to said how amazing they are. We did an hour ceilidh, an hour disco, an hour ceilidh and an hour disco and it worked really well. It meant everyone could have a breather once doing the ceilidh and the kids could take over the dance floor and ‘flos...”
