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?!"
Damian Delahunty
"Hired Damian for a private party for my sons 18th. Leading up to the date, Damian offered advice on venues, agreed the price, ran through song selection with me.
On the night Damian was excellent. Arrived early, well organised with lighting and sound setup. He did two sets with a short break in between. Damian interacted with everyone there, taking requests etc. He even let a few budding musicians and singers do a couple of songs!
I'd highly recommend Damian to anyone. He's a great singer and guitarist, with such a wealth of experience that you know you are in good hands.
Rob Jones."
ClusterFolk
"Clusterfolk played at my wedding last weekend and were absolutely amazing.
They were the perfect backdrop to my wedding reception and played a mix of instrumentals and vocals.
We received many compliments regarding the music and quality, and the guys are truly lovely and easy to work with.
We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again"
Solo Classical Violinist
"Thank you so much for playing so wonderfully for us at Dr. Johnson's House on Saturday. It really made the occasion for us, and many people said how much they enjoyed listening to you. Once again, many, many thanks."
Lindsay and Paul
"Paul and Lindsay were the perfect addition to my grandma’s big family reunion / birthday party. Their communication throughout the booking process was flawless and professional. The actual performance was spell-bounding . The tunes they played were so nostalgic and nobodies feet could stay still. All guests were very impressed, and The Publicans were the talk of the party. Thanks again Paul - we hope to see you again soon! (10 / 10)

Dorothy Harpist
"TLDR: Music is good, communications is on point, on the day it’s all under control and beautifully executed, everyone enjoyed, stress free throughout, we are so happy.
——
We are so blessed to have Dorothy playing harp at our wedding! Totally recommend her as she excels every single steps throughout.
She’s so talented, professional and with lots of personal touch that we deeply appreciate.
Her music is just amazing. All the guests complimented her and enjoyed all the songs. She’s able to learn extra new songs depending on the packages, and those ones we asked her to learn were beyond the world. Made so many of us cry as the music really complemented the moment perfectly.
Her website and wedding information book was clear and easy to navigate. From the first email communications, Dorothy showed great dedication, care and professionalism in catering to our big day. She gave super clear communications and instructions, was very involved throughout but also gives us (the couple) lots of freedom to design the process (music lineups, songs arrangement, where to set up the harp, etc) to make it how we want it.
We’ve dealt with so many suppliers along the way as we plan for the wedding, and although they are all great, Dorothy is honestly the best and really makes us feel so safe and happy throughout and even afterwards.
