"The Brogues were excellent and very accomodating to our wedding. Their sound is amazing and all the guests loved the atmosphere they helped create. From our end as organisers they were responsive and easy to work with. Can 100% recommend without any issue."

"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 couldn’t recommend the House Devils more. They honestly made our evening so great and our guests had an absolute blast because of them. The atmosphere they created was second to none and we loved every second. Thank you"

"Wow wow wow. Now that we’ve just about recovered Liam and I wanted to say massive thank you to you and the boys. You gave us the absolute night of our lives. Both of us, and so so many of our guests think you guys are the best wedding band we’ve ever seen. You were absolutely stunning in every sense of the word. We had an absolute ball at the ceilidh and every single song for the dj set was a banger. All of our friends were raving about you. I’ve been asked at least ten times for your name over the last two days! It was fantastic. Liam and I are so grateful. Thank you so very much, it was the best night of both of our lives!"

"A2 Barn Dance provided a reel party for our daughter's 18th birthday party - what a night it was! They were very friendly and professional from the booking stage all the way through to the last note. They quickly realised our level of proficiency on the night and adapted their playing accordingly. In addition to being consummate musicians, they are really pleasant to deal with and supportive. I thoroughly recommend them."

"Many thanks for playing at Whitewell, you made the reception for us. We have had so many comments from people saying how much they enjoyed it and what a change from a disco. Once again many thanks, Kath & Niall"

"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!"

"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!"

"22nd January 2020. Bob Ferguson Songwriter. The last couple of years we had the pleasure of having the Scottish musician Bob Ferguson on stage. He is a great performer. With Bob in the house, you're sure of having an entertaining afternoon or evening. And the music he's playing is diverse. Scottish and Irish folk, but also songs made by himself. We knew Bob already from concerts he played in our folkclub with Beggars Row and Celtic Hearts. But his solo concerts are also from high quality. So whenever you have the chance to get him on stage in your folkclub, bar or festival.....?! Book this guy! "

"On behalf of the entire Board of Directors of ISNCC and the ICCN2023 Conference Committee, I want to extend a very warm thank you for making our dinner celebration at Citation a very special event. I have not laughed like that for a long time, and it was fun to see so many of my colleagues from across the globe enjoying themselves. I know that everyone had an absolute blast as well, and no broken ankles ☺ Your presence at our event made it even more special and we are grateful for your patience with us as we learned the steps, or maybe just made them up as we went along with the fun. Once again, thank you for taking the time to make ICCN2023 a success. We truly appreciate your support, and we look forward to connecting with you in the future. Next time I am in Scotland or any of my colleagues are asking for contacts, I will certainly suggest The Brogues."

"Over the years Spectra have used Bob Ferguson, and his bands Celtic Horizon, and Beggars Row to entertain many of our corporate clients. 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!"
