Review Centre: Ceilidh Bands

"Thank you for playing at and attending our Big Birthday Ball and for celebrating our 175th Anniversary! The event was great fun and I am delighted to tell you that the event was an overwhelming success and raised over £30,000, which will go towards our healthcare projects in Malawi, Nepal and India – Thank you so much for being there! Everyone was very impressed with the ceilidh on the night and it really added to the evening."

Bob is a natural charmer, has a great voice and delivers many traditional and more contemporary songs with great style. He always has fun on stage, loves to interact with guests and uniquely can always be relied on to read the room so that audiences feel they are part of the experience. We love having Bob play for our clients! "

"We had such good feedback about your performance! Everyone that came had a great time and that’s definitely down to the superb music and also the very well-explained and inclusive calling. I honestly would not have believed that the majority of people dancing were new to ceilidh dancing from watching them, they all took to it really fast. We’d love it if you’d like to play again as the band was definitely the key to the success of the night. Also let me know if you want a glowing quote for your website or anything, very happy to oblige!"

"Given that 80% of our guests had never ceilidh’d before, the brogues did a wonderful job of leading dances where everyone could get involved and felt very much part of the celebrations. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved it and can’t wait to get ceilidhing again! Thank you!"

"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. "

"Thank you so so much for your performance on Saturday night, I cannot express to you how much everyone loved it, especially those who had actually never been to a ceilidh before! Honestly fantastic. You were amazing.  Thank you again so very much we all had a fantastic time and managed to raise about £5000 on the night and with my London marathon fundraising, I have raised about £12,000 for Cancer Research.  "

"Blag played at our party last weekend to celebrate our wedding, they were truly lovely people and great musicians. All our guests really enjoyed themselves and said it was such a change from a tribute band or disco, do not hesitate to book these guys . ?"

"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."

"We all loved the band Dear Mick, many thanks for Sunday (20th October 2013 (trio) The Provenance, 62 High Street, Colliers Wood, SW19 2BY) and being so flexible. We all loved the band and apologies for such cramped conditions. Best Wishes The Baroness McDonagh (life peer in the House of Lords) 22nd October 2013"

"Cathy and the rest of the folk music band she plays with performed at our Relationship Celebration. They gave a fantastic set for our celebration's ceilidh! The music was high energy and fantastic to dance to and the caller's instructions were always clear. They even incorporated a special dance request (which was not the easiest to call for a large crowd of ceilidh novices!). Cathy was easy to communicate with on the lead up to the celebration - I cannot recommend her and her band more!"
