"Absolutely fantastic! I booked Rufus Return for a charity event where the age range was from 4 to 80 years young! A lot of of those attending had never been to a Ceilidh and they are now raving about it and asking when the next one is! Nigel and the band paced everything well to the crowd and I can’t recommend them highly enough! Already looking for dates for next year and will definitely book Rufus Return! Thank you guys so much for a great night! "

"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."

"Mike & Tenzen are able to make their instruments come to life and tell stories of their own. They have a diverse registry, varying from shamanic music with the didgeridoo being played, or their folk songs where they both sing."

"Just contacting you to say a huge thank you for making our evening so special. We had a fantastic time & so did our guests. Everybody was asking where we found you! The DJ was brilliant too! We are considering holding an event next year but as a charity event for Breast Cancer and would like you guys again. Once again, thank you very much and we'll be in touch. Marc & Kathryn"

"These guys are it- top quality vocals and beautiful versions of songs. They know how to make the atmosphere just right and play everything from old folk music to modern pop and dance songs. The chemistry they have together is just superb. "

"We were so happy with our choice of music for our wedding. They were in contact beforehand and we agreed our first dance and extra playing time. They arrived early to set up which made us feel very comfortable when the day was so busy. We would highly recommend them. Many of our guests commented and loved the music. "

"If you're looking for a band who can come onstage to a marquee full of people quietly chatting and drinking and within minutes turn them into full-scale dance Machine with everybody in the place laughing and enjoying themselves, Then I think BLAG might be the act for you. Guests at our event (held to raise funds to prevent the destruction of a greenbelt zone) ranged from 20s to 60s, But all were captivated by the humour professionalism and generally good time emanating from rom the band. I am a professional filmmaker and have shot an l lot of promo videos for bands, from Euorope (yep, “the final countdown”) to Paul Young to AC/DC, and BLAG have that same charismatic quality that you see in all these massively successful bands. For a 3 piece they also a pack a monster sound, and over the course of three sets in one evening they played not only the gay Gordons and other traditional stuff but also sex and drugs and rock'n' roll and people are strange by the doors - not something you hear from average ceilidh band. I would highly recommend them if you're having any kind of function we want to get the whole crowd involved. Oh and did I mention they’re very nice guys as well?"
