"I have seen Tatcho Drom several times now. The first time was a few years ago in the Percival Room, South Bank, London. They were phenomenal. The atmosphere, whipped up by the whole band and in particular by Gundula Gruen through her virtuoso violin playing and her repartee with the audience, was pulsating. I think some of the audience were from the Balkans and they were going wild. But most of us cold-blooded Englishmen and woman were up on our feet as well. If you get the chance to see this lot performing live, grab it. I love going to their shows."

"There’s something beautifully unpolished about Golden OPA Band. Not messy—human. Their sound has this lived‑in warmth, like stories passed down over wine and late nights. You don’t just hear them; you feel the room shift around them."

"Simply the best. As I said many times, we were not looking for a wedding band in Ireland, we wanted an Irish Band that does weddings. Well we found them. In March of 2024 my wife and I were in Ireland to preview my daughter's wedding venue in Co. Monaghan at Castle Leslie. We did not have a band yet and happened into Temple Bar and fortunately for us Sparky was playing with an awesome fiddle player and we were hooked. Quick conversation and some planning with Gav and they were booked. They were incredibly accommodating and helped coordinate all of the music for the day including ceremony, Cocktail 2 Hours(!), Shindig for the evening and even a DJ inserted in the middle. They also worked with me and my band to do some of the first dances etc. for my daughter and our families. As a musician myself, I know good when I see it and these guys were awesome! I can't wait to play with them again!"

"Thank you for playing at and attending our Big Birthday Ball and for celebrating our 175th Anniversary! The event was great fun and I am delighted to tell you that the event was an overwhelming success and raised over £30,000, which will go towards our healthcare projects in Malawi, Nepal and India – Thank you so much for being there! Everyone was very impressed with the ceilidh on the night and it really added to the evening."

"Booked these guys for my sister's hen party and they were brilliant. From the surprise entrance into the garden when no one was expecting them to the impromptu conga line dancing – they entertained us superbly. Several neighbours got in touch to say they'd brought a welcome spirit of Mexico to the village as they could hear the fabulous music in their gardens too. "

"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!"

"We couldn’t be more thrilled with Cindy and Amanda, the incredible musicians who performed at our daughter’s wedding. From the moment they started, they set the perfect tone for our daughter and son-in-law’s special day. Their talent, professionalism, and musical ability were truly remarkable and have been a blessing to us. Lisa Price"

" Rejigged were hired to play at my 50th birthday party. After reading many positive reviews from their website, I was really looking forward to an entertaining evening of music, dance and laughter with my friends and family. They didn’t disappoint! Chris liaised on behalf of the band and kept regular contact, before the event, ensuring he knew exactly how I wanted the evening to pan out. Booking and payment was simple and advice offered to maximise the success of the evening. We had booked the 5 piece Cailidh band, including the caller. The musicians were highly skilled professionals and their choice of music was perfect for the evening. The caller was entertaining and very patient with us dancers, who joined in enthusiastically, if not skilfully! (Let’s face it, going wrong in the dance is half of the fun!) The band played non-stop for one and a half hours, stopped for half an hour for refreshments and then continued for a further hour. It was wonderful to see the enjoyment on everyone’s faces and the atmosphere was full of fun and laughter. The band really made my special birthday an event to remember: they were excellent! If a Ceilidh band is something you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to book Rejigged; you won’t be disappointed, I promise. "
