"Circassian were the cherry on top of a fabulous wedding for us. We requested a 4-piece band and they sounded great. The caller was particularly good at getting people up and dancing, and explaining how to do the dance. They do covers in-between ceilidh dancing. We chose mainly Scottish songs such as 500-miles and Wild Mountain Thyme and they sounded brilliant. They also learned our first dance song which was played beautifully. They came back to play a few final songs to close the night, which were incredible….and rowdy. Communication with the band was easily and we were confident that things would go without a hitch. Highly professional; highly recommend. "
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Robbie and the band were amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better ceilidh band - they got every guest up on their feet and were very patient with the majority of our guests who hadn't danced before. Highly recommend! Music and atmosphere were incredible. Thank you so much guys!"
