"The band were excellent, thank you. Everyone had a blast, and they loved the dancing. The band and your caller made the whole thing very easy and fun, especially for beginners, and I know quite a few people who were really taken with you. Thanks again!"

"A lovely, friendly professional band Re-Jigged Ceilidh Band were recommended to me by one of their players for our charity Barn Dance. They were great fun, friendly and very professional. Chris contacted me in advance to enquire about access, parking, and facilities in the hall to make correct arrangements. They arrived 1and 1/2 hours beforehand and set up their equipment efficiently. They looked good on stage with coloured lights along the front and dressed appropriately. Each member is a professional musician and the music was excellent, with balance and volume adjusted perfectly for the hall. They kept 90 people dancing for 3 hours, with an interval . It was a great atmosphere. I hope they will play for us again and I would not hesitate to recommend the Rejigged Ceilidh Band. "

"Robert Mitchell was very sensitive to our wish for a softer sound in the church and used the border pipes. He was extremely professional, worked well with the organist and pianist, and provided a lovely Irish touch to my daughter's wedding. Afterwards, he played the bagpipes outside while everyone gathered to greet the new couple with bubbles as they hopped into their limo. In addition, he provided a transition to the reception by playing the bagpipes outside the entrance. We are thankful to Robert and heard many positive comments about him from our guests."

"Wonderful entertainer! Bob ‘reads’ the audience and keeps the mood, tempo and volume on point. He provided a wonderful afternoon of music and humour for mum’s 100th!"

"Phenomenal. Catherine and Brad exceeded all of our expectations. The cello added an entirely new dimension to the atmosphere, and the breadth of their repertoire was really impressive. We are so thrilled we were able to have them play at our wedding. It truly would not have been the same without them."

"OH MY GOD!!! Undoubtedly the BEST ceilidh I've ever been to. The music was world class - and Patricia the caller managed to coordinate 300 people of 48 different nationalities to dance together!! The craic was mighty - my calves are still hurting 3 days later. Thank you so much for making our night magical and giving all our European counterparts such a good impression of Celtic Culture!"

"Meant to write sooner, but things have been hectic since the wedding and honeymoon. I just want to say a big thank you for the band's performance at my wedding reception. You went down an absolute storm, and people are still telling me how much they enjoyed it. Thank you especially for your flexibility in staying on for an hour, Kind Regards, Nicola"

"What a great band. We held a ceilidh for 160 people. 90% were beginners at reeling and everyone was dancing"

"The Annasach Ceilidh Band made the evening of our wedding in The Netherlands unforgettable, motivating Dutch and French feet alike to dance the Scottish steps. Even my 62-year-old aunt was on her feet all evening and remarked at the end that from now on, she only wants Scottish weddings. The band also dealt very professionally with some unforeseen circumstances, rebooking their own flights when their original flights were cancelled, taking a lot of stress away from us. I will happily recommend them for any wedding or party in Scotland or abroad, and look forward to visiting one of their Ceilidhs in Edinburgh when we next find ourselves there!"

"The Brogues were brilliant, really helpful in the lead up and on the day. They got everyone on the dance floor from young to old and everyone really enjoyed it!"

"It was lovely to see you last evening and to hear your brilliant band! Hearing live music played so well was a real treat after the last 2 years. Tom was as fantastic as ever guiding us through the dances and he always makes it so much fun. Everyone had a great time and they didn’t want to go home!"

"From the beginning process of getting in touch with Catherine she was very quick to respond and gave all the details necessary. So professional. The best part came when we got into the details of the music, there was no ask she couldn't deliver on. I will be a long time client and will strongly recommend anyone who is considering hiring them."
