"I had the privilege of experiencing the beautiful performance of Celtic Bagpipe Team at my close friend's father in laws wake, and I cannot express how profoundly moving it was. Their performance brought a sense of dignity, honor and reverence to the occasion, honoring my friend's memory in a way that words cannot capture. Their music stirred emotions deep within me, and I am forever grateful for the comfort it provided during such a difficult time. The Celtic Bagpipe Team's performance was truly five stars, even more, I highly recommend them for any occasion where music can heal the soul. Thanks Toni you were incredibly helpful~"

" We hired the Fine Tuners for our wedding at Lightfoot and Wolfville in October 2024. We worked with Stephen in advance to make sure the live music was tailored to our vibe for the day and was meaningful. Stephen was very responsive to our questions and worked to make sure we knew what we were getting. The choice of live songs for pre- and post-ceremony were spot on for our tastes. Countless guests have commented that the personalized live music during the ceremony made everything so much more special. We had specific songs for the processional and recessional, along with one during the wedding registry signing that were beautifully played and timed perfectly. The Fine Tuners were able to seamlessly adapt if things were faster or slower than expected and it made everything feel perfectly on track. The DJing during the evening dance was beyond our expectations. Our "do not play list" was respected, guests were able to make requests, and there were additional surprise touches like sparklers during our entrance and fun lights that really made things feel like a magical party. Both Stephen and Anthony are clearly experienced in live music and DJing for events. The live music part of things was perfect in our Nova Scotia setting and was appreciated by us and our guests. The DJing during the dance helped get people on the dance floor with no effort on our part, and Stephen really helped to make sure guests had a great time. We would absolutely recommend the Fine Tuners if you are looking for personalized and professional music services for your event!"

"Thanks to brilliant Glasgow based Ceilidh Band POINT FIVE who had the wedding party on their feet. With a great caller and excellent musicians. Full marks for the band who entertained us with a couple of gentle ballads when we paused to draw breath . Great Fun. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼"

"A few friends and I went to see Gaelforce at the Old Grocers in Pontefract on Friday. What a fantastic talented bunch of musicians these guys are. They delivered punchy folk rock songs, which are mostly their own with a few individual interpretations of some classics throughout the night. Brilliant stuff and highly entertaining. A great venue too, and cannot wait for them to return."

"He does not interpret the music so much as channel it, his voice a dark, lustrous force of nature. Around him, the orchestra conjures a crashing swooning swell; listeners may feel as if they have passed through the silver screen and into a forgotten Hollywood musical.” "

"Thank you so much for the fabulous ceilidh on Saturday night, we had a truly memorable celebration. All our guests commented on what a fun night it was with everyone up dancing by the end! Barry was brilliant and pitched his instructions at the right level for us amateurs - the perfect mix of assertive and entertaining! The music provided by Roisin Ban was superb - you are a very talented bunch and I won’t hesitate in recommending your services. It should also be noted that Chris was excellent from our first contact. He alleviated my worries, tried hard to accommodate my late requests and quickly replied to all my messages! If you want a ceilidh band, look no further!"

"Over the top entertainment was provided by Mr. Murphy, aka Billy Gumbo. He started with traditional Oktoberfest music, mixed in Cajun songs, some Tex Mex and even some Rocktoberfest music! He is very personable and entertaining, getting the crowd involved and even winding them up into a screaming frenzy! He met the odd requests of Italian songs and Irish punk polkas. It was a 4 hour event and he squeezed every ounce he had into the show. Highly recommend. "

"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."

"We hired Casado for our brand new office launch party as we wanted some subtle background jazz music – we had not used them before, but they were great and so professional and friendly. The music was fantastic and I had numerous guests comment on how good they were. Thanks for playing! (10 / 10) "

"A great season (Summer 2021) ended and we want to thank Mr Takis and all the crew for the great cooperation and support. Despite the Covid-19 Conditions everything was perfect and our performances had the color and smell we all wanted. Thanks a lot, until next time..."

"Jason came to pipe our primary 7 leavers our on their last day of school. He arrived in plenty of time (early infact!) and filled out every & any request we had. He really wanted to help us make this day special & one to remember for the kids. I’m so unbelievably grateful to Jason, and will most definitely use him again in the future!"

I’ve watched the videos people have sent me of the hour before we arrived and honestly my biggest regret of the night was not being able to listen to you play more haha! So so perfect you helped make it such a romantic evening for us and we couldn’t be more grateful for your amazing skills and beautiful performance."
