Review Centre: Ceilidh Bands

"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."

"INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!! Toni and Brock were hired to pipe music for a special event in Miami. They gave the gift of their music and it was such a treat to have them and on time! Very professional in attire and communication skills the entire time. We'll hire them in a second as we have quarterly events throughout the year. We can't wait to hear them again!"

"CAMIC had the great pleasure of having Harbour City perform at our annual conference. Not only was the band fantastic, but they played a variety of tunes, from ones themed to the East Coast to familiar tunes from the past. Our guests happily danced until the last set was played"

"Blag were absolutely brilliant and exactly what we were after. This was a big corporate party for a young audience and they were fun and a modern take on a ceilidh band. I highly recommend them for any event as they would be great regardless of audience."

"I just want to say a BIG thank you for last Saturday. Dunstable Live was a huge success and that was in part due to your band. We had over 1000 people attend which as the weather was so horrendous was a surprise. But everyone left with smiles on their faces."

"Booked the Brogues for our wedding and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Excellent band who helped out with anything we needed - including throwing in a few slow dances for a very pregnant bridesmaid! We and all our guests had a fabulous time. If you book The Brogues you won't regret it!"

"Amazing performance and Super Organized! As a wedding planner, I look for only the best to perform at our events because there is so much going on, we want to make sure our vendors are great and Brock and Toni are nothing short but amazing. They were willing to go the extra mile for our couple, super communicative and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. My couple loved them and the guests couldn’t stop talking about how great they were all night! Thank you again Brock and Toni! You truly made the wedding special!"

"We booked Blag for our wedding in March and they totally incredible. Since the big day all of our guests have commented to us how fantastic the band were. Communication beforehand was straightforward and responses were quick, we really couldn't recommend them enough. Thanks Michael and David!"

"Thank you and your team for a truly excellent evening on Saturday at South Warnborough. We had a full house and everyone seemed to be fully engaged in the event. We certainly didn’t have any sliding away early unless they had to! Please thank the team for all their support, and in particular please pass on my personal thanks again to Alistair for composing his hornpipe, “Old Navigator’s Measure”, especially for me. We would like to get our booking in for a similar Saturday next year, so please can you see if you can fit us in? Thank you again for a wonderful evening."

"Celtic Team - professionally perfect pipers Tonti and Brock are a loving couple whose dedication to the tradition of the pipes and to the pageantry it brings to any occasion is an experience I will not soon forget. Crisp and immaculate, sharp and regal in their bearing, their presence at my family’s celebration of our uncles 100th birthday brought the emotions of the occasion to an entirely unmatched level. Thank you Celtic Bagpipe Team from the bottom of my heart and may God bless you. -TJR"

"A2 Barn Dance provided a reel party for our daughter's 18th birthday party - what a night it was! They were very friendly and professional from the booking stage all the way through to the last note. They quickly realised our level of proficiency on the night and adapted their playing accordingly. In addition to being consummate musicians, they are really pleasant to deal with and supportive. I thoroughly recommend them."
