Raquel’s Riot
"I can't say enough great things about Raquel Riot! They performed at our veterinary hospital's 70th Anniversary Celebration and Fundraiser, and they completely exceeded every expectation. From the first song to the last, they had the room full of energy. People were singing along, dancing, and having an amazing time.
You can truly see how much they love what they do. Their talent, professionalism, and ability to connect with the crowd made our event feel so special. We've had so many people tell us how incredible the band was and how much they enjoyed the music.
Thank you, Raquel Riot, for helping us celebrate such an important milestone and making the night one we'll never forget. If you're looking for a band that will keep your guests entertained and create unforgettable memories, look no further. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation!"

Thank you again for a great night!

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!

"Kirsten Kirk and the Dirty work played my bachelor part and they were awesome"
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!"
