Review Centre: Ceilidh Bands

"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!"

"Bob contributed with a fantastic concert in Fjerritslev Church Center in May 2023. Lots of happy people flocked to Fjerritslev Kirkcenter to hear the happy and well-liked Scotsman. Bob's concert was a lovely concert, for all age groups. Both his own songs but also huge hits from different decades were sung. Even the audience could choose songs. All in all, a Bob Ferguson concert is a wonderful experience, filled with joy, humorous remarks, beautiful singing with audience participation and a wonderful personal experience that you absolutely do not want to miss. 5 out of 5 stars from here. Thank you for a fantastic concert. We very much hope that he comes back to Fjerritslev. A clear recommendation to everyone from us here in Denmark."

"The Swinton Folk Festival was a little wet, due to howling gales, but it didn't seem to dampen the enthusiasm of those inside the Lancastrian Hall, Best gigs of the event went to Stanley Accrington and a new bunch to me called Beer for Breakfast, (what an awful name,) but nothing awful about their Celtic influenced folk and swing. They did doubly well as their regular fiddler was absent having chopped off his fingers; very bright. Get in touch people if you read this."

"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."

"Catherine Little was my favourite vendor to work with when planning our wedding. She was so sweet, quick, and accommodating to any idea I put forward while also offering much needed guidance. We had her play solo during the ceremony, while guests were being seated, and during the cocktail hour. It was such a nice touch to our wedding day and her cello playing was beautiful. Highly recommend!"

"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."

"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. "

"Everything went very well. We were absolutely delighted with Beer For Breakfast, we feel that you helped to make our special day even more special. All of our guests without exception have commented on how good you were and what fun they had. We were at another wedding last weekend and everyone who had also attended ours kept coming over and telling us that the band was not in the same league as "the fantastic ceilidh band" at our wedding! If we ever need a band for a function again Beer For Breakfast will be our first choice! Thank you once again, Julianne and Richard"
