Rejigged Ceilidh Band
"Professional adaptable unflappable and friendly nothing was to much trouble.
Great musicians as well, got everyone on the floor......"
A2 Barn Dance Band
"A2 Barn Dance provided a reel party for our daughter's 18th birthday party - what a night it was! They were very friendly and professional from the booking stage all the way through to the last note. They quickly realised our level of proficiency on the night and adapted their playing accordingly. In addition to being consummate musicians, they are really pleasant to deal with and supportive. I thoroughly recommend them."
Blag
"Absolutely brilliant! Made the entire night and brought so much life to the party.
Played a mixture of upbeat songs and irish jigs and accommodated the music we wanted for the party and accommodated all ages.
So excited to book them again. The guests are still mentionioning them a whole week after our event. Most friendly and professional band you could hire.
If you're looking for a band to accommodate 18+ look no further, the whole place was dancing all night. Very talented guys.
Thank you so much for making our party that much better."
Craigievar Ceilidh Band
"Thank you for another fantastic party last night. You were all brilliant and really embraced the spirit of the event which really puts the icing on the proverbial cake. Please can we book you for 2024?!"

"I asked Oscar and his brother Barney to record a cover of my mums favourite song for her birthday and she absolutely loved it! It was a beautiful and very personal gift at a time when I couldn't be with her in person. Thank you both!"
