Review Centre: Ceilidh Bands

"Rufus Return Band brilliantly provided the music for our 50th Ceilidh party. The band played a selection of different Ceilidh music and the caller (Brendan) was excellent, engaging our guests and really helping everyone to have a good time! It was so much fun, we had the best evening and felt like we were in safe hands from the moment the band arrived. We had a useful conversation with Brendan prior to the event so that all arrangements were in place. Would highly recommend for any party! Thanks Sarah"

"More than 5 Stars!!! There are no words because when everyone was welcomed with bag pipes at my husband's 50th birthday celebration, they were absolutely speechless!! What an amazing touch they brought to our event. So talented, friendly, and beyond everything we expected. I wish I could give more than 5 stars and I hope I can have an event in the future so I can hire this beautiful couple to amaze our friends again! Thank you so much, Brock & Toni! A thousand times Slainte!!🥂"

"It was lovely to see you last evening and to hear your brilliant band! Hearing live music played so well was a real treat after the last 2 years. Tom was as fantastic as ever guiding us through the dances and he always makes it so much fun. Everyone had a great time and they didn’t want to go home!"

"Thank you so much for playing at the new inn the past couple of times. The pair of you were brilliant and everyone loved the different range of music! Definitely recommend you to everyone who wants Sunday afternoon music or a Saturday night sociable band"

"Kevin & the Kitchen Sink was a pleasure to work with from the moment we contacted them. They created a perfect playlist, including a specially requested song (my parent’s first dance song from 40 years ago!) and the band was incredible! The crowd was on the dance floor the whole night. We couldn’t have been happier with this band and would highly recommend them. Thank you Kevin & the Kitchen Sink for such a great party! "

"Fantastic, Fun, Festive & Part of the Family Brock and Toni are gems...they pour their hearts and souls into their performance. They came to my son's Confirmation brunch. They entered through the side gate, so amidst all the talking and laughing, our guests started to hear the glorious sound of bagpipes. He brought everyone to a halt and many to tears! It was such a surprise and it brought such a special feeling to the event. Brock and Toni are wonderful people, and now they are part of the family"

"Robert was a fantastic addition to our wedding, and added a unique element that will absolutely be remembered by the attendees. He was a pleasure to work with before the event, played the bagpipes amazingly well (a friend is a series bagpiper and he noted that Robert was very talented), and accommodated music and picture requests thus making sure everyone was thrilled. I would 100% recommend Robert for any bagpipe events! = Andy B."

"The Brogues provided our wedding in Largs with 5 hours of fun Ceilidh and disco dancing at a very affordable price - I don't think they could have been beaten on value. We had friendly Grace on keyboard and sweet Alan on fiddle, and together they produced that distinct Scottish Ceilidh sound, beautifully. They played a well-balanced mix of group and couples dances, interspersed with well needed refreshment breaks, and concluded the Ceilidh with EVERYBODY on the dance floor for the head-dizzying 'Strip the Willow'. Grace did an amazing job on the mic, explaining the various dance routines and keeping everybody right. For many of our guests it was their first Ceilidh experience, and the Brogues certainly made it one we all will never forget. Everybody smiled and perspired heavily - a sure sign of thorough enjoyment! Our first dance was made extra special, with Grace and Alan performing a very romantic cover of 'How Long Will I Love You' - which would honestly not have sounded better had Ellie Goulding been there to sing it herself! The evening was then rounded off with a disco of songs, superbly mixed, from our chosen playlist. Grace and Alan, thanks again. You were lovely and truly helped us have the best wedding possible! Highest recommendations from Stephen & Daffne."

"The band just came in and started getting set up with no hassle during a busy part of the evening for the wedding party, which was really helpful... The ceilidh caller was really enthusiastic and clear in his instructions (which was great for those new to the dance!)... You learned our song for our first dance, which meant a lot to us, sounded great, and set up the dancing part of the night really well!"
