"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!"

"After a wonderful show in Dublin, we were fortunate enough to have Shindig visit us in Denmark to play at our wedding. The preparations were handled very professionally with quick follow-up and great flexibility. It was a wonderful event and all the guests were so impressed with their performance. The dance floor was full all night and everyone around really enjoyed the show. We would recommend Shindig anywhere! Thanks again for a great evening!Martin and Trine"

"Roisin Ban are excellent. They arrived at the venue on time, set up quickly and then really got the party started. Excellent musicians, friendly, helpful, involved the audience and played exactly what I had requested. Would not hesitate to use them again in the future. I wish them all every success."

"A perfect performance. We booked Strello for a private garden party with around 50 guests. The musicians played brilliantly. Our guests were delighted. Strello’s performance helped make the party a complete success. I can wholeheartedly recommend Strello to anyone who enjoys their style of music. Once again, a big thank you to the band.

Hier nochmals einen Dank an die Formation."

"We had a great time last night. We had Me & jiggs play at our going away party' and what a night to remember. We had a barbeque in the yard' .. the band came out to play an acoustic set of traditional tunes' ..all the young children gathered in a circle and danced to their hearts content. After about a half hour the band went inside where they had already set up for the performance .it was lively and there was something to suit everyone. The band had their own lights which brought the venue to life. It was unforgetable' we both really enjoyed it as did all of our friends. "

"Bob Ferguson concert, 11. Sept. 2019 Our association organizes, among other things, traditional concerts, especially regional music of Low German culture. Scottish and Celtic music corresponds to this program much. Bob Ferguson gave us with his music insights and impressions into the everyday life of Scottish life. In his ballads, he sang about love, wanderlust, the landscape and the sea. He entertained the audience wonderfully, walked through the rows of spectators and encouraged everyone to sing along. The audience felt transported to the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland and had this beautiful landscape in mind. We thank him for this great concert and we look forward to seeing him again in autumn 2020. "
