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!"
Acoustic VibeZ Band
"These guys are awesome! I was so nervous about keeping my surprise from my girlfriend but they helped create what I had imagined - they were so professional and easy to work with and sounded great!"
Rock Ceilidh Band
"Thank you . It was such a great night and the dancing was great. I loved that we opened the doors at the end ( for the amount of dancers that got up for the Strip the Willow). I think we might need a bigger venue next year it was such a success. The band was fabulous, I'll be keeping you in mind for other gigs."
Ted Christopher
"Brilliant night’s entertainment. Ted knows how to play to the crowd and can vary his sets based on who’s there and the crowds response."
Bob Ferguson Songwriter
"We all had an amazing night, all the sailors loved your performance and it really made a massive difference to the night, it really brightened up the spirits of everyone and made it a night to remember, extremely worth it and a very fair price. Keep in touch bob."
Iron Broo Ceilidh Band
"A Perfect Wedding Band!
When I proposed to my now wife back in 2017, I was adamant that we would have a great ceilidh band for the wedding, showing my new Hungarian family a true taste of Scottish culture whilst having a great time. When I saw the advert for Iron Broo and how they were ranked one of the top ceilidh bands in the area I was sceptical at first having never heard them play. Then I was invited to a wedding that they played 4 months prior to my own: after hearing their 3 piece I knew my wedding would be in safe hands!
All through the buildup to the day Charlie was a great help, using his knowledge and experience to advise how to run the evening - he even transcribed a bagpipe tune for my great grandfather to play on the night!
On the day, the band were outstanding! Despite a small wedding the band with their charm and wit managed to get people up to dance and put on a tremendous show! The personal touches were carefully noted as the Orcadian Strip the Willow’s music was even tailored to incorporate Hungarian folk music that put a big smile on the new in-laws faces!
I could not recommend Iron Broo more to play at any function, they really are what they advertise and will now need to create an event just to have them back!
Forever grateful.
Mr and Mrs Borthwick."
