"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!"

"We hired Point Five to play at our first ever NYE Ceilidh and it went down an absolute treat ! We sold out and almost everyone was up dancing which was completely unexpected ! The music was great, the caller was great and it was an all round great night and I’m so glad we chose Point Five as our band for it. I would 100% recommend Point Five if you’re ever in need of a Ceilidh Band!"

"The brogues played and entertained a 60-strong private birthday celebration ceilidh at our village hall. Their skills, musicality, repertoire, dance ‘calling’ and organisation were all excellent, well received and responded to by an all-age gathering. Great band - wonderful music - highly recommended!

"Guests asked me to pass on the following comments: "Everyone has commented how wonderful it was to come in to the ballroom and hear your music. Thank you so much for helping to make our retirement dinner extra special." "The beautiful harp performance put everyone at ease and we loved hearing you play in the background over dinner.  Thank you again." "I have had so many of my guests saying how amazing you were. Thank you for taking the time and making some wonderful memories for us."

"Easy listening – which the young love ironically and the old love wholeheartedly – is on an upward curve and ‘Velvet’ which reached No. 2 in the albums charts, may just have been the making of Byrom – this show case performance, featuring a 26 piece orchestra has long been a sell-out."

"“On my own radio program, “Shay’s Ballad Session”, The Beermats are one of the most requested Dublin groups and I regularly play their recordings and have had the pleasure to interview them live on air. They are a great bunch of lads, with all the wit and character of true Dubliners! “SHAY EUSTAGE” "

"We just wanted to write a short thank you for playing at our wedding. The ceilidh was so much fun and a great success with all our guests. It was nice to see so many people of different ages and stages enjoy themselves together. The ceilidh caller did a great job in directing the moves and the musicians did a great job in playing such beautiful music!! To anyone considering hiring Cats Claw Ceilidh band for your next event- go for it! You won’t regret it! "

"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!"

"Robert Mitchell was very sensitive to our wish for a softer sound in the church and used the border pipes. He was extremely professional, worked well with the organist and pianist, and provided a lovely Irish touch to my daughter's wedding. Afterwards, he played the bagpipes outside while everyone gathered to greet the new couple with bubbles as they hopped into their limo. In addition, he provided a transition to the reception by playing the bagpipes outside the entrance. We are thankful to Robert and heard many positive comments about him from our guests."

"Amazing! I was born in Scotland, my whole family is born there, so when it came down to my wedding day I always knew I wanted a bagpiper to play at my ceremony. Living in Southern California now, I didn’t know if I could find an authentic piper to play at my wedding, that was until found Stephen Wilkinson! Not only did he ask what I wanted him to play,but he asked what colors he should wear that would best suit my wedding. He showed up early on the wedding day with a huge smile, he introduced himself to my family, who loved that, especially my nana who was visiting from Scotland for my wedding. She loved it, and he took personal pics with them before the ceremony even started. He led my dad and I down the aisle and and then led my new husband and I back down the aisle, after the ceremony. He played during cocktail hour also. My guests absolutely loved his presence there, his piping is spot on and amazing! Everyone commented on how cool it was to have a bagpiper there, and not only how great he was but how friendly he is too! If anyone is looking for a bagpiper for any occasion I highly recommend hiring Stephen Wilkinson. He is the best! 5 Stars!!"
