Review Centre: Ceilidh Bands

"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."

"Given that 80% of our guests had never ceilidh’d before, the brogues did a wonderful job of leading dances where everyone could get involved and felt very much part of the celebrations. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved it and can’t wait to get ceilidhing again! Thank you!"

"A big thank you for your part in Saturday's party. You did a great job and it was a real pleasure to have you playing. The music was super and it was a relief to me that you just got on with the job so efficiently and unobtrusively, so I didn't need to think about that side of things at all. Thanks to so many people giving a helping hand I was delighted to be able to join in plenty of the dances myself which was great fun. Thanks again for giving us a memorable evening, and very best wishes for the Brogues."

"Celtic Team - professionally perfect pipers Tonti and Brock are a loving couple whose dedication to the tradition of the pipes and to the pageantry it brings to any occasion is an experience I will not soon forget. Crisp and immaculate, sharp and regal in their bearing, their presence at my family’s celebration of our uncles 100th birthday brought the emotions of the occasion to an entirely unmatched level. Thank you Celtic Bagpipe Team from the bottom of my heart and may God bless you. -TJR"

"Kevin & the Kitchen Sink was a pleasure to work with from the moment we contacted them. They created a perfect playlist, including a specially requested song (my parent’s first dance song from 40 years ago!) and the band was incredible! The crowd was on the dance floor the whole night. We couldn’t have been happier with this band and would highly recommend them. Thank you Kevin & the Kitchen Sink for such a great party! "

"School Fundraiser Chichester "Thank you so much for making our Barn Dance on Friday night such a success! Great fun and great exercise!! The music was fantastic, we were all very impressed by your skills and your instruments, especially the funky violin!! We raised approx. £500.00 which will be extremely useful for the School in times of low budgets. We have had requests for another Barn Dance asap , so please may we use you again!! Many thanks to you all Best wishes Alison x"

"Blag played a Ceilidh for my 50th Birthday party on Saturday. We had a fantastic time and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The calling was very clear and the music brilliantly played. I specifically wanted an event where young and old, keen and not so keen dancers would all participate and that was achieved to the enjoyment of everyone. Thank you so much. The communication before the event was clear and helpful - David answering all sorts of detailed questions that I had. I can thoroughly recommend Blag to ensure a great event."

"Blag played at our party last weekend to celebrate our wedding, they were truly lovely people and great musicians. All our guests really enjoyed themselves and said it was such a change from a tribute band or disco, do not hesitate to book these guys . ?"

"Thank you so much for playing at the new inn the past couple of times. The pair of you were brilliant and everyone loved the different range of music! Definitely recommend you to everyone who wants Sunday afternoon music or a Saturday night sociable band"

"Honestly - look no further, these are they guys you are looking for. I booked Blag to play in the local village hall for my birthday party. They were excellent musicians and lovely guys - polite, friendly and very professional. Their repertoire included many genres of music and they were able to adapt the music on the night to suit the room. The first set was an eclectic mix of music - all brilliantly played. The ceilidh in the second set was really fun, with Michael (very patiently) teaching us the moves. Everyone has been commenting on how fantastic they were ever since the party. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you for a really wonderful and memorable evening."
