Clients who enquired with Ramnee Ceilidh Band also enquired with the following ceilidh bands on FixTheMusic:
"We could not be happier with Ramnee. Tom was super clear in his calling and lovely and patient with a lot of first-time ceilidh dancers at our wedding. He was also so friendly, relaxed and accommodating to slightly revised schedules on the day. Our guests loved the ceilidh and the band sounded great. Couldn't recommend you more!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Ramnee Ceilidh Band recently played at my 50th birthday party and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the initial booking Tom was so professional and always so patient and helpful with my endless questions. Any correspondence was answered very quickly. On the day of the party Tom arrived at the venue with lots of time to spare. I had chosen a four piece, guitar, fiddle, drums and accordion, the entire band were simply excellent and they looked so good with their traditional kilts. As the caller, Tom explained all the dancing techniques in a way that was easy to follow which was excellent as there were a lot of people who weren’t familiar with the dances. I would definitely book the Ramnee Ceilidh & Covers Band again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a highly skilled, professional band for their Ceilidh."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"My son and new daughter-in-law hired the Ramnee Ceilidh Band for their recent wedding. I can honestly say what a fantastic band they are. They played a variety of songs which suited all ages of the guests. They also played numerous Ceilidh tunes in between - it didn't matter if people didn't know the steps, because we were talked through them first. It was so much fun, and the guests loved it! I highly recommend the Ramnee Ceilidh Band to anyone, and would have no hesitation in hiring them."

Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Tom and the band played for our wedding, a mixture of ceilidh and covers, and they were absolutely brilliant! Our guests form all over the world enjoyed learning the reels, and the covers gave everyone a chance to let their hair down. The quality of the music was very impressive, Tom was so easy to deal with and what a lovely bunch! I would definitely recommend them :)"
