"We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect addition to our wedding ceremony on March 27th than Michael, our incredible Highland piper. From the very beginning, Michael was so accommodating and easy to work with. During the booking process, he took the time to understand what was important to us, especially our Scottish family connections, and made sure to incorporate that in such a meaningful and thoughtful way. It truly meant a lot to both of us and to our families. On the day itself, Michael was flexible, kind, and completely professional. His talent shone through in every moment he played, creating a beautiful and memorable atmosphere throughout the церemоny. So many of our guests commented on how special his music was and how much it added to the day. We are incredibly grateful for all of Michael’s help, warmth, and kindness. He played such an important role in making our wedding day so memorable, and we can’t thank him enough. Highly recommended. Conor and Kirsty Igoe"

"Michael was amazing at our wedding recently! He was extremely easy to work with and flexible with our song choices and made a great impression on our guests at arrival to the church and drinks reception at the hotel. His musical skill is incredible and we really appreciate everything and highly recommend him. He has a very friendly, approachable and down to earth personality."

"Many thanks for your performance on Saturday night - you were superb and we had a terrific time. A lot of people came up to me and said how good you were and Linda was blown away. If I know anyone who is doing something similar, I will recommend you!"

"I can't say enough wonderful things about Cold Weather Company! Steve was my primary contact and he responded to every email promptly. He answered yes to all requests. The band arrived on time and agreed to stay for a late night acoustic set. They were consummate professionals. The music is why we chose the band, and it was amazing & beautiful to hear live. They were the perfect blend of background music that you really want to stop your conversation to listen to, however their cover of Let It Be was so moving, it silenced the room. We could not have chosen better for our fundraiser, all 150 guests were entertained! We are still hearing rave reviews."

"Emil was very professional. Arrived to the venue well ahead of event starting time to set-up everything and do sound check. Entertainment provided was exactly what we had requested and provided pleasant background music. Lovely Spanish autistic music :) "

"I had the pleasure of the Brogues two piece ceilidh band of Alan and Grace to host my 21st birthday. The whole experience from booking, organising and the party itself was perfect. Grace and Alan were professional, friendly and ensured the best experience possible for both me and my guests. They ensured a personalised experience and everyone commented on how amazing the music and atmosphere was and I cannot thank them enough for making my 21st the special night it was."

"Cats Claw stood out in the promo presentations. We started out with high anticipation.... we ended with expectations exceeded! All-round 5 stars for the practical, professional, and logistical stuff. 6+ stars for personality and friendliness:) 10 stars for the reciprocal engagement with the floor and the mood. I've worked at festival stages with ceilidh bands (I booked CC for this wedding) and CC are a group that just kept giving. Be clear about your needs and they will meet them. The feedback and accolades from the wedding couple and guests were great... and also some neighbours who listened in! Job done... thanks Cats Claw. "

"Αυτή η μπάντα ήταν η καλύτερη επιλογή για τον γάμο μας! Από την πρώτη στιγμή, το κέφι και η ενέργεια που έφεραν στην εκδήλωση ήταν απίστευτα. Έπαιξαν υπέροχα παραδοσιακά κομμάτια, αλλά και σύγχρονα τραγούδια από καλλιτέχνες όπως ο Βέρτης, ο Καράς, ο Παντελίδης και η Βίσση, και όλος ο κόσμος δεν σταμάτησε να χορεύει στην πίστα! Η ενέργεια τους ήταν ατελείωτη και το κλίμα μοναδικό. Αν ψάχνετε για μια μπάντα που να συνδυάζει παραδοσιακή και σύγχρονη μουσική με φοβερή ενέργεια, είναι η ιδανική επιλογή!"
