"We are so grateful to Black Velvet Ceilidh Trio for making our fundraising ceilidh a great success with delightful music and dancing. The level of challenge of the dances was pitched just right to tempt our guests (who were aged from 4 to 84) to have a go – and they all came away with big smiles on their faces! Phil – the band’s friendly caller – gave just the right amount of instruction and then a quick recap before each dance and was happy to adapt dances to suit some of the children. Arrangements and payment were all handled professionally and efficiently. Thank you so much for helping us raise over £300 for our cause!"

"Scotch Snap made sure our daughter's 21st birthday party was a brilliant night. The dancefloor was filled from start to finish. The music was excellent- it was quite simply the best ceilidh ever!"

"We held perhaps the most successful party we've ever had on Saturday and appreciation of Martin's part in that cannot be properly described. A lovely man playing beautiful music, he constantly judged the 'mood' of the moment and adapted the play list to suit. Absolutely perfect."

"I didn't get a chance to speak to her on the day but my Mum did and my husband said the music was lovely, especially whilst he was waiting for me to arrive - he said it calmed the nerves!"

" 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 Shooglers’ stand 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! "

"It was great to see you and the band at Radley last week, and can I just say once again how much I enjoyed your music that evening. I've danced to your band a number of times but never have I heard such great tunes"

"Patrick stepped in last minute to play at our wedding on 9th July 2016 and was absolutely incredible. Exceptionally talented, professional and a true gent. He even donned a cape to play outside as our guests arrived in the pouring rain. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone for any occasion!"

"Mark played at our party in Wiltshire on August bank holiday Sunday afternoon. He was an absolute success. He arrived, he tuned up and he got on with it in an easy going and charming way. Everyone danced, everyone sang and EVERYONE shouted for more. I'd have no problem recommending Mark highly he really did make the party special. We would have him again anytime."

My young granddaughter and her friends haven't stopped talking about you either. Shamrock Experience? Super-Happy Experience!!!!!"

"Just wanted to say how thrilled we were with Mark. He could not have done a better job. We had loads of compliments on the night too by our friends. He was excellent and he judged what music to play when perfectly. If you ever need anyone to confirm how good he is then I am happy to be contacted. Thank you again! "
