Review Centre: Ceilidh Bands

"We first heard the Brogues play at a ceilidh a couple of years ago and knew we wanted them to play at our wedding. They make dancing effortless for those who've danced before and those that haven't. They play with such musicality and joy, and helped make our wedding day fun and inclusive. We wouldn't hesitate to ask them to play at future events. Thanks Alan & Grace!"

"Annasach played for our wedding in June 2018 near Livingston, where most of the guests were not regular ceilidh goers but almost all got up to give it a go! Thanks to the team for the rousing tunes and good calling, which made even the novices feel that they could join in the fun. We loved Auld Lang Syne at the end too - a brilliant end to our special day. Annasach were easy to deal with and professional from the beginning, we would definitely recommend them to others looking for a ceilidh band for their event. We look forward to attending one of their public ceilidhs again soon!"

"Annasach ceilidh band were extremely professional, friendly and were able to adapt to the demands of a wedding in France. The guests were all raving about the fun they had Ceilidh dancing. Trisha, the caller managed to talk the guests through the steps keeping it as simple as possible. This was appreciated by all the guests including the experienced and novice Ceilidh dancers."

"Wow, just wow. We hired the Brogues for our daughters wedding, who wasn't convinced a Ceilidh was for them. To start with Grace is a fabulous communicator, nothing was too much trouble and lots of questions were asked to make sure the evening went down with a bang. The Ceilidh was just fabulous, EVERYONE got involved, and the instructions from the band was great. They had patience of Saints, and even threw some humour in too. Our daughter and son in law LOVED it ( a bit of kudos for me) and said 'it made' the wedding evening. So, if you're considering booking them we really cannot recommend The Brogues enough. Competitively priced and simply the best entertainment we've had for years. You won't regret it!"

"Hi Just want to thank you again for coming to our rescue way back. It was a great day and the timing perfect for us. I'm aware that it was probably your last event too and hope that your year hasn't been too tough... Wishing you the best for 2021 and God bless, Ruth and Jim Guthrie"

"Robert did an awesome job at my father's funeral. His choice of music was spot on and he coordinated with the staff at Quantico to ensure the whole event came off perfectly. Thanks Robert!"

"This year we managed to raise £4,456 for our two charities (Shipston Home Nursing and the Air Ambulance), which I think is a record. I wanted first to thank you for your wonderful music. Having such a brilliant band is integral to the success of the Tartan Fling and we’re very grateful to you. We would, of course, really love it if you would come back and play for us again next year."

"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."

"I wanted to say a huge thank you from Steph and me for the amazing twmpath at our wedding last Saturday. We had a fantastic time and loved the dancing, it was a great ice breaker and a lot of our guests said how much fun they had. Hopefully we're not the worst dancers you've ever had! Please pass our thanks on to Mic and the rest of Cat's Claw. If we can leave a review anywhere that would be helpful for you, please let us know and we'd be more than happy to do so. Thanks again, we had a great day and have lots of great memories from the dancefloor! "

"We had a couples dinner for Valentines Day and we booked the duo which was the perfect entertainment while we had dinner and a fun games night. The band were open to my ideas and flexible, helped me plan and learnt new songs for the evening. I really enjoyed their energy they gave and they helped an intimate evening feel energetic, fun and we will always remember the special evening. Would highly recommend and will be looking to book them for other events! Thanks guys..."

"We would like to thank you so very much for the tremendous set you performed for us all on Saturday night; it exceeded all of our expectations! Right from the word go, your professionalism and enthusiasm shone through, with both of you demonstrating superb musicianship combined with the excellent calling skills of Anna who got everyone up on their feet for the whole night! It gave all of us all an amazing evening to remember all our lives and greatly contributed to the success of the wedding as a whole. So thanks again and we will certainly bear you in mind if we have any other events coming up in the future!"

"Acoustic VibeZ got the crowd going for our charity event! They had the guests singing along and it was the real buzz we needed to kick off and end our night. Thank you for all your help - will book again!"
