"Wow, just wow. We hired the Brogues for our daughters wedding, who wasn't convinced a Ceilidh was for them. To start with Grace is a fabulous communicator, nothing was too much trouble and lots of questions were asked to make sure the evening went down with a bang. The Ceilidh was just fabulous, EVERYONE got involved, and the instructions from the band was great. They had patience of Saints, and even threw some humour in too. Our daughter and son in law LOVED it ( a bit of kudos for me) and said 'it made' the wedding evening. So, if you're considering booking them we really cannot recommend The Brogues enough. Competitively priced and simply the best entertainment we've had for years. You won't regret it!"

"Difficile non definirli incredibili e fantastici. Portano allegria e voglia di ballare: al nostro matrimonio hanno fatto furore, rubando la scena a tutti!"

"The Blags played at our wedding recently in Lichfield, they had travelled up from London especially. We were really impressed with their set and talent. I would highly recommend for an occasion. All our guests commented on how fantastic they sounded. So happy we booked them."

"I asked Michael to help me do one of the most important things in my life yet - propose to my girlfriend. Michael played the Highland bagpipes and the whistle to make the magic happen. A great performance: musically, visually and emotionally. Very talented and dressed in a bagpiper uniform, a true professionnal. 100% satisfied! I forgot to mention, she said yes!"

"On Saturday 16 September 2023, we celebrated our 116th birthday. We had heard good things about Bob Ferguson from others, so we decided to have him round off a great day with 3 hours of superb entertainment. It was an unforgettable evening, Bob really manages to hit his audience, and the atmosphere was instantly top notch. Bob got everyone involved, and there was dancing and singing along to the big gold medal. And the best recommendation you can get is that we have hired Bob Ferguson again for a good and pleasant day/evening in March 2024."

"Cats Claw stood out in the promo presentations. We started out with high anticipation.... we ended with expectations exceeded! All-round 5 stars for the practical, professional, and logistical stuff. 6+ stars for personality and friendliness:) 10 stars for the reciprocal engagement with the floor and the mood. I've worked at festival stages with ceilidh bands (I booked CC for this wedding) and CC are a group that just kept giving. Be clear about your needs and they will meet them. The feedback and accolades from the wedding couple and guests were great... and also some neighbours who listened in! Job done... thanks Cats Claw. "

"`I have had the privilege of hearing the wonderful music Ryan creates for many years. His sound is unique, as are the deep messages that are embedded within his songs. His experiences have crafted him into the musician he has become. As with all true artists, there is profound meaning and intentionally behind all he does and creates. Not only is Ryan a talented musician, but he is also a very generous person. In 2016, my son Jacob was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In 2018, Ryan donated his time and talents to play at a fundraiser for Jacob and our family. The crowd loved Ryan’s powerful music, and the enthusiasm he brought to the room was electrifying. He truly had the audience in the palm of his hand.`"

"Michael was amazing at our wedding recently! He was extremely easy to work with and flexible with our song choices and made a great impression on our guests at arrival to the church and drinks reception at the hotel. His musical skill is incredible and we really appreciate everything and highly recommend him. He has a very friendly, approachable and down to earth personality."

"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"
