booked The Ceilidh-oots for their event

“A thoroughly excellent band! Extremely easy to deal with, happy to be flexible to our requirements and to respond to the atmosphere in the room. The boys really helped to make an electric atmosphere after what had been a pretty full on day for our participants in the Bowmore Ben Nevis Challenge.”

booked Reels On Wheels for their event

“I felt confident that Alive Network were co-ordinating my booking with the band and would be there to help if something went wrong. Reels On Wheels were totally professional, they kept in touch, gave me all the information I needed for the event, provided choices of music/dances for me to tailor to my evening and to the dancers (beginners and accomplished). They fitted in with the timings...”

booked Gypsy Rogues for their Wedding at Nuthurst Grange Hotel in Warwickshire

“Gypsy Rogues were an excellent addition to our wedding. They were professional and very flexible which is important at a wedding as things do not always run to time. They provided a great atmosphere for the whole evening and several people commented on how fun they were. The music they played was of an excellent standard and they got everyone up and dancing for the ceildh songs, whilst many pe...”

booked Rabscallion for their Wedding in Suffolk

“The entire process of booking Rabscallion through Alive Network was extremely painless. I always felt confident both in the booking co-ordinator Rebecca, and the band. I also felt I could ask any question at any time and they would get back to me. I tested this theory on a few occasions and it proved true. Robin from Rabscallion was even good enough to answer my call on the way to Glastonbury! I w...”

“Dear David, I just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful entertainment that you gave us for our wedding. The structured dancing really got everyone up and then the rock music kept the party going right until the last minute! Several people have told me that it was the best wedding they have ever been to and I'm sure that most of that was down to you because you and your colleagues made ...”

“Rabscallion were exactly what we had hoped for. They were polite and unassuming and their dress/style was perfect for our wedding. Robin the band's caller was brilliant. He got all our guests involved and their Irish Folk music spoke for itself. It was brilliant, everyone had such a good time and a real laugh trying to follow the dances! Would recommend them to anyone.”

“In a nutshell..........wow, what an evening. "Rabscallion" were the best. From initial contact with Robin thru to the set up and the gig itself they were brilliant. My party goers absolutely loved them, some of them actually have had your details as they might book them themselves for future parties. We loved them that much that some of us have already booked up to go and see them play in Nott...”

“Reels On Wheels were brilliant they really made our evening wedding reception on 12th March 2011 fantastic. What better for a wedding in a barn than a barn dance and this Irish Ceilidh was exactly what we'd dreamed of! Everyone was able to get involved from the oldest to the youngest and everyone danced till they thought their feet would fall off. I was so pleased at how great the band were at...”
