"Barn with us recently played at our wedding in our back garden and they were incredible! Everybody was up swinging each other around to Cotton Eye Joe and other great hits. Lilac and her band were perfect for such a mixed age group and we all had fun trying out line dancing, we would like to thank Sound With Us for making our day so fun and a day our guests are still talking about!"

"Dear Fiddlestix, Please could you pass on our thanks to the band that played at our wedding. The music was excellent and our guests had a fantastic time. It was lovely to see our friends and family having so much fun on the dance floor! A special thank you to Simon for teaching me the first dance over the phone. It worked perfectly and was a very special moment. Best wishes, Emma (and Tom)"

"Tom and I want to say a massive THANK YOU to The Haystacks duo (Drummer - Matt and Guitarist/singer - Rachel) for playing at our wedding party last Sunday. We've had a lot of people tell us since how much they enjoyed the music - so thank you again! You were just right for what we needed! Abbie "

"Aly, Just wanted to say a massive thank you for your hard work on Saturday night. The stream of positive comments about the music and calling has been endless, and we have to agree! You guys were totally professional and really got everyone involved, from the experts from Shetland to the local novices.... All the best, Rob & Vaila"

"We've so enjoyed having Blackbeard's Tea Party along at our events that they're now our "go to" band every time we have a ceilidh. They bring energy, musical talent and a sense of fun every time they play. Our ceilidh events are always a success, and that's mainly down to this great group of musicians. If you want a lively "proper" ceilidh band, then look no further than Blackbeard's Tea Party."

"Hi Davie, Thank you so so much for being the best ceilidh band around!!! We were so gutted when you announced it was the last song, as were all our guests!! Could have shoogled all night long. Can't thank you all enough. Many many thanks from the new mr & mrs Taylor :) "

"We had a fabulous evening being entertained by Gypsy Cabaret Collective, a group which my gorgeous cousin is part of. Fraser showed his comedic side and Piper showed a bit of love for the poi. Piper also loved taking part in the proceedings. The boys listened to their CD all the way home and even asked for it to be turned up and asked when can we see them again."

"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. You really livened the atmosphere and made the evening really special. I loved the first dance – the Braveheart theme segueing into “The Banshee” - and I’ll never be able to think of the Wild Rover in the same way again!"

"Davie, I just wanted to contact you to say, ‘thank you VERY much, indeed’ to you and your band members for performing last Friday evening at the annual Grange Dyvours Tennis Club ‘Snow Ball’ and making it the tremendous success that it was. I have been to many weddings, ceilidhs and parties over the years and danced to many bands and I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that ‘The Big Shoogle’ stands head and shoulders above the rest. Who would have thought that weaving in Pink Floyd and Deep Purple tracks in the middle of a Dashing White Sergeant would have worked but it did! You were an absolute pleasure to deal with, before our event; you all drove a considerable distance to arrive, at exactly the time requested, to set up all your equipment then, after our dinner, you returned to put on the most amazing performance. Some of our (non-Scottish) members had never danced some of the dances before but you made sure to talk everyone through what was expected, as a warm up, before the mayhem began. My face was sore laughing, at the end of some of those dances. Just brilliant. Our ‘Snow Ball’ on Friday evening was an astounding success and we have you to thank for that. Absolutely first class. P.s. Also, thanks for taking our booking for our ball, next Christmas. I wanted to get in quick to secure you as I know how much in demand you are! "

"I've had the tremendous good fortune to have been asked to call ceilidh dances with Kellys on numerous occasions. It's never difficult to get people up on the dance floor once Helen kicks off on the accordion, and when Steve's driving rhythm guitar comes in, coupled with Tony's pounding bodhran, the only 'problem' is getting people to sit down and have a breather between dances! And when you get Simon and John bumping it up to a 5-piece with fiddle and banjo (plus various pipes and whistles) well, all I can say is "Hold on to your socks!""

"Well what can we say! Eljay were absolutely fantastic arrived on time with equipment set up ready for the evening. They sang lots of different songs from old to new keeping the ears of our guests entertained ready for more. Lucy was absolutely amazing such a talented lady would love to have thwmat another event. The only down side was that the evening seemed to go to fast but as the saying goes time flys when your having fun. Would so love to see them again in the future absolutely fantastic performance what an amazing band."

"Hello Dermot, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye and thank you and Kevin personally. You were so encouraging and made this very nervous singer as comfortable as possible! You were both great and everyone loved the music. Thanks again and all the best "
