"Absolutely fantastic! I booked Rufus Return for a charity event where the age range was from 4 to 80 years young! A lot of of those attending had never been to a Ceilidh and they are now raving about it and asking when the next one is! Nigel and the band paced everything well to the crowd and I can’t recommend them highly enough! Already looking for dates for next year and will definitely book Rufus Return! Thank you guys so much for a great night! "

"It was lovely to see you last evening and to hear your brilliant band! Hearing live music played so well was a real treat after the last 2 years. Tom was as fantastic as ever guiding us through the dances and he always makes it so much fun. Everyone had a great time and they didn’t want to go home!"

"Thank you for another fantastic party last night. You were all brilliant and really embraced the spirit of the event which really puts the icing on the proverbial cake. Please can we book you for 2024?! "

"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 booked A2 Barn Dance Band for our wedding and were very glad we did. We all had a great time muddling our way through lots of different dances, and the band did a great job keeping us all heading in the right direction. Having just a small venue meant we needed a band that was flexible and able to work around the limited space. A2 Barn Dance Band did a super job, set up in no time, and had us all up and dancing before we knew it! Thanks again for helping to make our day so special." "

"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."

"We booked a Ceilidh with the band last year. Had to postpone but they were good with that. The party could not have gone better. Everyone dancing from the first dance. The band responded well and the calling was good as there were a number who had not been to a Ceilidh before. Organisation and communication was good. Thoroughly pleased with the how everything went."

"I've just want to say what a fantastic evening we had dancing at the Ceilidh. We were visiting Edinburgh for a special birthday on Burns night as I'd always wanted to celebrate it in Scotland. Though our kids / young adults (13 & 16) were the youngest there, we were all warmly welcomed. The music was great, the calling helped us get to grips with the dances, and the atmosphere was fantastic. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, thank you! Thanks again for an amazing night."

" Thanks so much to you, John and Chris for the fantastic music and calling on Saturday. Even though the set was rather compressed by our over running speeches (sorry about that!) I know everyone had a brilliant time and really enjoyed it. I know you stayed rather later than you had planned and we really appreciate your flexibility. Thank again for a brilliant evening. You were really wonderful. And we loved hearing Bonnie Kate! Ruth & Richard x"

"Wow, what a wonderful evening! Last Friday night was so much fun and it was such a real pleasure to collaborate with you all at Cat's Claw. It was a magical night and it was lovely to see the two worlds of music come together so successfully. Our musicians from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales very much enjoyed working with you all and it was great to hear that you too all had a great time. I also think that from the audience's reaction that everyone who was present also very much enjoyed the evening. In particular, my Mum absolutely LOVED the evening and was blown away by hearing all of the music that she loves so much played so brilliantly! Sincere thanks for your invaluable contribution to such a special evening celebrating St David's Day. "

"Thank you very much,, it was excellent! I wanted to surprise my boyfriend and it worked, everything was super good and even better than I expected. All very professional and very cheerful. We had a great time and even though we lagged with the time, they were always patient and giving the best attitude, that says a lot about the Band! My boyfriend, our friends and I want to thank you. We really enjoyed the time, and the truth was that it was short, because we had a great time."

"I had the best time with the Barn Buskers celebrating my 50th birthday. From the minute I booked them to the moment they had to leave they were brilliant. The youngest guest was 2, the oldest was 85 and everybody said what a fantastic time they had. Knees hurt but cheeks hurt more from all the smiling and laughing. The caller did extraordinarily well keeping us all together. Note to self.....must learn left from right 😂😂 If you are looking for some talented musicians with a flare to keep the party going, at a pace that suits your needs, then look no further. I believe a friend has booked them for their wedding next year, and I for one can't wait to do it all again 🩷 Huge thank you to Judy and co. Truly a most memorable day 🩷🥳"
