"I booked Blag back in November 2018 and everything was very straightforward. Adrian, David and Michael were all very friendly and very professional. They arrived in plenty of time and set up with minimum impact on the rest of the party. They played at my 60th birthday party and played a mixture of ceilidh music to dance to, and other music in between, while we recovered !! Michael is a very good caller and, although we only had one experienced ceilidh dancer in our group, he was able to teach us quite a few dances. I absolutely loved my party and several of my guests also commented on how good the band were, and how much they'd enjoyed the whole evening. The last dance we did was definitely my favourite - lots of couples dancing in a big circle, gradually getting faster and faster !! Thanks again Blag !"

"Annasach played our wedding and despite having a bunch of amateurs attempting it they kept their spirits up. I honestly couldn’t have hoped for a nicer, better, happier band to break the ice between two cultures. Would definitely book you all again and recommend you. Thank you so much again for making our evening special."

"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. Ein perfekter Auftritt. Wir hatten Strello für eine private Feier im Garten mit rund 50 Gästen gebucht. Die Musiker haben grossartig gespielt. Unsere Gäste waren begeistert. Mit ihrem Auftritt haben Strello zu einem rund um gelungenen Fest beigetragen. Wem ihre Musikrichtung gefällt, dem kann ich Strello vorbehaltlos empfehlen. Hier nochmals einen Dank an die Formation."

"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. "

"I had the pleasure of the Brogues two piece ceilidh band of Alan and Grace to host my 21st birthday. The whole experience from booking, organising and the party itself was perfect. Grace and Alan were professional, friendly and ensured the best experience possible for both me and my guests. They ensured a personalised experience and everyone commented on how amazing the music and atmosphere was and I cannot thank them enough for making my 21st the special night it was."

"Oleksandra is a skilled accoridon player. She played some very nice selection of songs based on the mood of the party and the guests. Everyone loved the music and the lovely ambience she brought to the party. Besides the music, she is very nice, flexible, responsive and puts in a lot of effort into her performance. We highly recommend her for any kind of event."

"Wow what can I say, we asked for a country band and we booked the Country Rocks Band… they were everything we could’ve asked for! Everyone was up on the dancefloor from the first song to the last drum strike! Amazing night thoroughly had by all. Our guests kept commenting how great they were! Thanks so much to Chloe And the band! "

"I had the pleasure of hiring Marianna for an event, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Her voice is absolutely stunning, and she created such a warm and magical atmosphere throughout the night. She was professional, punctual, and very easy to work with. All of our guests were impressed and kept asking about her afterwards. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing live performance, and I would love to book her again in the future!"

"I would totally recommend Wraggle Taggle Wraggle Taggle were professional, very accommodating, and went down a treat (9th February 2019 Saturday The King's Royal Hussars Officers' Mess, Tidworth Garrison, Wiltshire, SP9 7BB). They offered both amplified and non-amplified music and using their amplifiers were able to hold a full room of 90 loud and merry party goers. I would totally recommend Wraggle Taggle for any party or event and if the theme lent itself, I would, without doubt, use them again Best wishes Seb Teuber, The King's Royal Hussars 22nd February 2019"

"We had a wonderful time with the Brogues at our wedding, they were really great with fun dances and Grace was very helpful and communicative in advance! Felt we could trust them completely with reading the room in terms of what dances to do & when to call the DJ’ing section after the ceilidh. Thanks again!"

"Cold Weather Company were an amazing addition to our event. Steve, Brian, and Jeff exceeded all expectations with original songs + covers! They have a unique sound, where Mumford and Sons meets Bon Iver. Perfect choice if you are looking for an Indie/Folk band, who put their twist on anything from The Beatles to Vance Joy. Already booked them again! Thank you, CWC!"
