"Sandra & Paul came to play at our wedding held in the open space of a beautiful park. They created a wonderful atmosphere and their colourful acoustic music made the party very special. We will book them for our future celebrations!"

"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!"

"Amazing and wonderful band! Peter headlines a great group of guys that know their stuff. I’ve used them for many years at the festival and they never disappoint me. Synthesi is a crowd pleaser every year! I would never hesitate to hire them for any event, just do it early before they book up your date! "

"We had the Brogues band at our wedding day in September 2023. Brogues band were absolutely integral to our special day, not only was the music perfect for our setting & wedding the service and professionalism we experienced from the band was amazing! We had spoken with Grace from the band initially who had initially discussed our wedding day plans- no request was too much for the band. They completely slotted into our day and wedding as we wished! From the Ceilidh calling to the dancing itself, we could not have asked for anything more. Following the wedding we had many comments from our wedding guests complimenting how great the band were and how relaxed and well co-ordinated the Ceilidh dances were. Grace had done an excellent job of Ceilidh calling, and rounding up members of the wedding- which we appreciate can not be easy at the reception after the guests have had a few drinks! The dance floor was never empty and this was something we were so pleased about. As our venue can seem massive when the floor isn’t filled, however the band ensured that there was always ample people up boogeying away. From the moment of the first dance to our last dance of Loch Lomond, the band completely ensured the party was going and everyone had a great time. Requests were kindly taken from the dance floor too which allowed everyone to feel part of the wedding and gave every one a chance to get up and dance into the night! We cannot recommend Brogues Band enough, absolutely perfect if you’re looking for a traditional & laid back Scottish wedding- with your own stamp added! Thank you Brogues Band x"

"Paul and Lindsay were the perfect addition to my grandma’s big family reunion / birthday party. Their communication throughout the booking process was flawless and professional. The actual performance was spell-bounding . The tunes they played were so nostalgic and nobodies feet could stay still. All guests were very impressed, and The Publicans were the talk of the party. Thanks again Paul - we hope to see you again soon! (10 / 10) Sophie Banner"

"Again this year 01-07-2023 we had the pleasure of Bob Ferguson who came and played and entertained at a 60th birthday party As always, wonderful music, and the guests were taken along for the experience when Bob walks around between the tables, sings, plays and jokes. We have received lots of great feedback from our guests. Bob always gives 100% experience. We can only give him the warmest recommendations for a successful party. Susan and Svend"

"We are a group of corporate professionals. The gathering is an annual conference where all stakeholders of the industry come together. I am glad that Stefano is a professional, they came on time, the band was complete, and came prepared. His team really performed to our hearts content. It was a fun cocktail night because they were there. "
