"I couldn't recommend It's No' Reel ceilidh band highly enough. From the first time I emailed them to see what their availability was for our wedding day, to the week of the wedding, nothing was a problem. They were very quick to reply to emails, and always extremely friendly. When it came to our wedding reception, we could not have asked for a better atmosphere. The music was exactly how we wanted it, ceilidh music and disco tunes alike! They were so energetic throughout their set, and really kept the party going. I found it difficult to dance as much as I wanted to as well as socialise with my guests as I was having so much fun! Thanks again for everything guys, we really appreciate it."

"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!"

"We hired Patrick to play at my uncles funeral. I cannot thank him enough and considering the rain we had on day he played amazingly and I would hire him again if/when needed"

"First time I'd been to a Jazz concert. It was what I expected and more. An outside charity event at Gallery House near Marykirk in Aberdeenshire. It was a cold evening for June but the band kept us warm ? Hoping this event happens every year and they come back??"

"Thank you so much for playing at Catriona's 21st. Hugh, Cat and myself so enjoyed your band, the choice of dances and the calling. We had so many complements about the evening, but I said that it was the component parts that made it and you and the band were a major part. I will of course recommend you if asked for a band."

"The Craigie Ceilidh Band were absolutely fantastic and made our special day that little bit more special. It was wonderful to see so many people, both young and old, taking part and really enjoying themselves. I would thoroughly recommend them for any event and would certainly look to hire them again for parties and events in the future."

"Energetic tunes and striking harmonica. Mat and the band have applied the best of their quality musicianship to this release and that quality is impeccably demonstrated."

"We were privileged to be guests at Helen and Sue Fenton's 60th birthday party on Saturday night and we were roundly entertained by the incredible Still Reeling. It is just impossible to sit down when these guys are doing their 'thing'. Absolutely brilliant. "

"The Blue Ceilidh band are absolutely fantastic! They stand out not only because of the quality of the musicians but also because of the caller gives the ceilidh such a fun atmosphere. I couldn't recommend them more highly. Book with confidence."

"It’s been a while now but just a short note to thank you & the guys for playing a great set at our wedding.If there was one negative, it’s that I never asked you guys to play all night. Anyway, hope you are well & in the unlikely event that I ever get married again, I know which band to go for. "

"You guys were quite simply superb. You were everything we could have wanted from a ceilidh band and more. Even now (months after the wedding) people are still raving about how great you were. Every single person got up dancing at some point and loved every moment. There are even people that have never been to one that are now having one at the their wedding next year (keep an eye out for the email from them!). Even the Scottish side of my family agree that you are the best band they have seen. You pitched the night perfectly so that the experienced dancers and the novices all really enjoyed themselves. The photos from that section of the night are full of people laughing and having fun and that is purely down to you. Without you the evening party would have been nowhere near as fun or memorable and we were all gutted when you had to finish. From a personal perspective you were so friendly and quick to respond from my first enquiry and were so accommodating to the little things that we wanted. You made everything so easy and didn't need to call anyone on the day. The biggest thing for me though is that you are young and have a great blend of modern thinking and respect of tradition. Some of the other bands i contacted were so stuffy and rigid in their approach which made choosing you so easy. Overall you made our wedding and will be a treasured memory for the rest of our lives."
