Colton’s voice captivated the audience and quickly gained fans with the style and range of music. We’re proud to have had Colton perform at our brewery and welcome him back anytime! Tallyia MacMullin Off-Grid Ales Co-Owner" Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Tallyia MacMullin - Frostival New Brunswick Photo of Annasach Ceilidh Band Annasach Ceilidh Band "The Annasach Ceilidh Band made the evening of our wedding in The Netherlands unforgettable, motivating Dutch and French feet alike to dance the Scottish steps. Even my 62-year-old aunt was on her feet all evening and remarked at the end that from now on, she only wants Scottish weddings. The band also dealt very professionally with some unforeseen circumstances, rebooking their own flights when their original flights were cancelled, taking a lot of stress away from us. I will happily recommend them for any wedding or party in Scotland or abroad, and look forward to visiting one of their Ceilidhs in Edinburgh when we next find ourselves there!" Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom Barbara - Wedding Photo of Oompa Rockstar (German Octoberfest Polka) Oompa Rockstar (German Octoberfest Polka) "The band were great, very lively with a bunch of personality. They were keen to take the music throughout the venue which was great, we don’t usually see bands get that involved and eager to roam!" Based in Sydney, New South Wales Cuckoo, Newtown
