Bellows, Scratchitt & Pluckitt
"These guys did our wedding ceilidh and it was great! Their enthusiasm and fun meant all our guests wanted to be involved, they explained the dances in a way everyone could access and it was a brilliant night. Highly recommend!"
Los Stompers Rock & Célí Band
"I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and the band, you were honestly fantastic - the song choices were brilliant and you had everyone up dancing!"
Catherine Little Cello
"From the beginning process of getting in touch with Catherine she was very quick to respond and gave all the details necessary. So professional. The best part came when we got into the details of the music, there was no ask she couldn't deliver on. I will be a long time client and will strongly recommend anyone who is considering hiring them."
Owen's Friends
"Overall we had a very good experience in difficult conditions. The caller handled inexperienced participants, hot weather, and minor technical challenges to deliver an enjoyable experience for all, including child-friendly dances. I recommend this band."
Triskelt
"It was such an absolute pleasure to have you all be such an amazing part of our special day. The guests loved you (and so do we, still). You've been amazing from start to finish, from planning to the big day itself! We highly recommend Triskelt! 10/10"
Iron Broo Ceilidh Band
"We had Iron Broo play at our wedding on 13th June 2026 and what a fabulous night they made it! I was a bit worried about ceilidh dancing as the average age was a bit higher and a lot of guests had never heard of (never mind been to) a ceilidh. I shouldn’t have worried - from the first dance the band had the dance floor full and Charlie is a great caller, with so much patience. Everyone had so much fun and enjoyed it so much. We had the disco option for later and even with some of our more obscure requests, they played every single one of them. If you want a great band for your occasion then these are your guys!"
