They really made the night one to remember!

5 stars - The Haggis Chasers are Highly Recommended
booked The Haggis Chasers for their Wedding in Angus

“The band were great, they really got everyone up and dancing; and their calling was fantastic (for those of us who have forgotten how to dance over the years!). They read the night and the crowd really well, deciding to switch across to the DJ set as the night was ending. Prior to the night we were able to get in contact with Craig very easily and he was quick to reply to any queries we had. ...”


Absolutely awesome band

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

Highly entertaining and excellent service!

5 stars - Reels On Wheels are Highly Recommended
booked Reels On Wheels for their Wedding in London

“We hired the band to perform at our wedding reception and to perform traditional folk music as well as a ceileigh and they were superb at both. The folk music had people dancing from as soon as they arrived at the reception and the band did an excellent job organizing a large and inexperienced group of ceilidh dancers. They were also extremely easy to deal with and flexible throughout the plann...”

5 stars - The Blazing Ceilidh are Highly Recommended
booked The Blazing Ceilidh for their Wedding in Perth and Kinross

“What a night. The band played for a few hours at my wedding. The guests hardly sat down and we almost had to call an ambulance for one of them! Lots of English guests who had never been to a ceilidh before and they loved every second. My best man wiped out the fiddler by accident during “strip the willow” sorry about that! Thanks lads. It was brilliant.”


An absolutely brilliant group!

5 stars - Rabscallion are Highly Recommended
booked Rabscallion for their Wedding in Cornwall

“Great musicians! had them as a 7 piece. Caller was supper patient but also kept everything moving along. Wedding guests loved it we had people from lots of different countries with language barriers thrown in and it really helped everyone mix together. Communication with Robin was also so easy. Would highly recommend.”


Energetic and fun folk folks!

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

“We booked rakish paddy for our wedding fairly last minute. We decided we wanted to have a ceilidh band quite late and there were not too many available, so we picked these guys. No regrets, I think we were very lucky to get such a good group! Ruth got in touch early and talked to us a few times in the run up to sort out all the details and check what we wanted. On the big day they turned up in ...”
