Outstanding in every way

5 stars - Gypsy Rogues are Highly Recommended
booked Gypsy Rogues for their party in Oxfordshire May 2024

“Getting the extended family together every year has always been fun and a great way of keeping in touch beyond the normal births, deaths and marriages. The Gypsy Rogues helped make this year’s gathering especially good fun. The music was fabulous and they really got everyone into the party spirit… I think they might even have had a bit of fun themselves, despite my awful singing, about which they ...”


An excellent ceilidh

5 stars - Rabscallion are Highly Recommended
booked Rabscallion for their wedding in Staffordshire May 2024

“Rabscallion are excellent musicians who brought energy and laughs to our wedding day. With a wide repertoire of well known ceilidh tunes, they handled the challenge of 100 people (95% of whom had never been to a ceilidh before). I would recommend them for any event.”

booked Polychorea for their wedding

“A huge thank you to you and the band for last Saturday- everyone had such a blast in the ceilidh, and even though lots of people had never done such a thing before they had a great time! We had such a fantastic day and the band brought smiles to everyone’s faces.”


Brilliant Burns Night Band

5 stars - Hazelwood are Highly Recommended
booked Hazelwood for their event in Hampshire

“This is the second year that we have had Hazelwood perform at the HMS EXCELLENT Burns Night dinner. If anything, they were even better this year than last. There were a few guests who knew the dances but most were heavily dependent on the skill of the caller. She didn't disappoint; keeping us all on track and making the evening run brilliantly. I will be making sure to book early to guarante...”


Incredible night was had by all.

Richmond Wedding

5 stars - Celtic Band are Highly Recommended
booked Celtic Band for their wedding

“We were very pleased to find that Celtic Band were free to play at our wedding. There were many groups of people there who didn’t know each other, and a ceilidh was an ideal way of joining in and interacting with each other. Celtic Band played a good selection of scottish-type ceilidh numbers. Some people found the dancing in the first half a bit hard to follow – but in a way that added to the ...”


Church social

5 stars - Celtic Band are Highly Recommended
booked Celtic Band for their event

“Celtic Band have twice provided the music for a church event I’ve helped organise. I can’t praise them highly enough. Booking was easy, Simon was patient with my queries and on the night they were superb. Great music, a friendly and encouraging caller, and a brilliant atmosphere. Recommend 100%. Can’t wait to organise another event with them.”
