"The Devil's Tailors were fantastic. They were easy to work with and helped make our wedding event one to remember. They traveled all the way to Arizona from the east coast. I was grateful for their effort and desire to do it at a reasonable price. Everyone loved the bagpipes and the dancing with the fiddle and the piano. They called out the dances while everyone participated and everyone learned how to do them easily. Everyone was anticipating the next number when they could do it again. I definitely recommend using The Devil's Tailors for your next event. If you are thinking about having Scottish dancing at your event, but don't know if it would be fun, I will tell you to book them right now. It is an amazing time. And if you have had Scottish dancing before, The Devil's Tailors will do a wonderful job. "

Jamie, Thanks so much for your kind words! We had such a great experience and the wedding guests were some of the most spirited dancers we've had the pleasure to play for. Peter

"14th Feb 2020. Vijverpark Festival. Always good fun to see Bob Ferguson on stage. A good singer and the audience is always engaged and involved. If you're in for some good music and fun, Bob's your uncle! A good variety of songs also."

"We were very fortunate to have the lads at our day 2 bbq. They were so quick to reply and were very understanding when we needed a later start at short notice. They were truly fantastic and really friendly. Everyone really enjoyed the music the time just flew by. They really set the tone for the rest of the night. Natalie & Derek - Cabra Castle Hotel "

"It was SO WONDERFUL to have you as part of our 'Celebration of Seeds'. Seeds can be taken in the literal way or indeed sowing the seeds of thoughts and feelings inspired by your beautiful tunes. Everybody I spoke to said what a joyful addition it was to have you there as part of our event. Two of my favourite moments were the dancing and then your version of 'Here, there and everywhere' which is a particular favourite of mine. A member of staff at the library said to me that this is what Saturdays should be like every week. Thank you for bringing so much joy to the event. And YES I would highly recommned!!!!!"

" Rejigged were hired to play at my 50th birthday party. After reading many positive reviews from their website, I was really looking forward to an entertaining evening of music, dance and laughter with my friends and family. They didn’t disappoint! Chris liaised on behalf of the band and kept regular contact, before the event, ensuring he knew exactly how I wanted the evening to pan out. Booking and payment was simple and advice offered to maximise the success of the evening. We had booked the 5 piece Cailidh band, including the caller. The musicians were highly skilled professionals and their choice of music was perfect for the evening. The caller was entertaining and very patient with us dancers, who joined in enthusiastically, if not skilfully! (Let’s face it, going wrong in the dance is half of the fun!) The band played non-stop for one and a half hours, stopped for half an hour for refreshments and then continued for a further hour. It was wonderful to see the enjoyment on everyone’s faces and the atmosphere was full of fun and laughter. The band really made my special birthday an event to remember: they were excellent! If a Ceilidh band is something you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to book Rejigged; you won’t be disappointed, I promise. "

"We booked Synthesi for a few celebrity events. Sir Anthony Hopkins loves Greek music and Synthesi always pleases the crowd and does a very professional job. We highly recommend them for your next event."

"It was a delight to listen to Poems Ago perform. They engaged the audience with stories about each song. Their voices were in sync with each other, the instrumental playing was simply divine. I would recommend Poems Ago for a heartfelt intimate setting such as a living room concert, a ceremony at a church. They will have you all crying!"

"Oak & Brass gave the party a great atmosphere, with their great voices and fantastic guitar playing. Their song choice for the evening was spot on, with some real classics mixed with the modern, many of which became great sing alongs. I would highly recommend Oak & Brass and would have no hesitation in rebooking him in the future. Thanks again Oak & Brass! "
