"The Hoedown Band were quite simply awesome!! We had a triple 50th Birthday at the local hall ... We had 146 people who all had the best night ever so they say, thanks in no small part to Dawn and the band. The musicianship was excellent and Dawn’s calls were clear and easy to follow and she was roving around and leading each group until we got it and went full steam ahead with the band ripping into it. I cannot recommend this band enough. They exceeded our expectations and once again made our party what it was. Thank you guys and girls!"

"Having Nick and the band play at our wedding made for a perfect evening! The music was fantastic and the caller made sure everyone was able to have a good time, regardless of dancing prowess! Would highly recommend if you’re after a lively and fun evening for all to enjoy!"

"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"

"Absolutely brilliant! Made the entire night and brought so much life to the party. Played a mixture of upbeat songs and irish jigs and accommodated the music we wanted for the party and accommodated all ages. So excited to book them again. The guests are still mentionioning them a whole week after our event. Most friendly and professional band you could hire. If you're looking for a band to accommodate 18+ look no further, the whole place was dancing all night. Very talented guys. Thank you so much for making our party that much better."

"Their ability, at short notice, to turn up and turn in a stonking evening of fine music, laced with wit, anecdotes and reminiscences. Recommended to anyone who enjoys fine trad music played with enthusiasm and enjoyment. As performed at the Rafters club, Wath, on 14th December"

"Thank you so much for playing at the new inn the past couple of times. The pair of you were brilliant and everyone loved the different range of music! Definitely recommend you to everyone who wants Sunday afternoon music or a Saturday night sociable band"

"Bob was booked for a Burns supper. He was really flexible in what he could offer; I was asking him to play over a prolonged period of time, not a 40min 'set'. He engaged with the crowd brilliantly, and really brought the songs to life. I would absolutely recommend to anyone and would absolutely use again, thank you Bob."

"Bob Ferguson has played in Hannes Musikcafe in March 2023 and we have been to several of his concerts. His repertoire ranges widely from the Scottish/Irish/American song treasure mixed with his own numbers. From beginning to end, he involves the audience – ie; - he moves around among the audience and gets them to sing along to the many well-known sing-along songs. Bob is fantastic at "reading" his audience, makes lots of fun, laughs and jokes and has a fantastic contact with his audience. The songs mix with seasoned fine stories, lots of humour and vivid descriptions. Dressed in a kilt and with his powerful voice, from the moment he takes the stage, he creates a close and intimate atmosphere, and you leave the concert in a good mood. We can wholeheartedly recommend Bob Ferguson."

"We had Annasach Ceilidh Band play for our daughters wedding at the Ptarmigan, Loch Insh. All of the guests thought the band were fantastic, they played mood music as guests arrived followed by a full on Ceilidh. The instrumentalist were amazing and the caller was friendly, funny and ensured we had a wonderful ceilidh. "

"I would totally recommend Wraggle Taggle Wraggle Taggle were professional, very accommodating, and went down a treat (9th February 2019 Saturday The King's Royal Hussars Officers' Mess, Tidworth Garrison, Wiltshire, SP9 7BB). They offered both amplified and non-amplified music and using their amplifiers were able to hold a full room of 90 loud and merry party goers. I would totally recommend Wraggle Taggle for any party or event and if the theme lent itself, I would, without doubt, use them again Best wishes Seb Teuber, The King's Royal Hussars 22nd February 2019"

"We hired the Hoedown Band for our Xmas party and they were fantastic. They were very professional, neatly presented and they sounded great on the night. We were a small crowd but their lead singer [caller] Dawn was very interactive and educational with her dance moves. The band knew their instruments and songs very well and I would certainly recommend them."
