Reviews from local events in Scotland
“Graeme, Hamish, Robbie and the rest of the band were completely awesome at our wedding at Carrick Castle Estate. First and foremost - they are all very talented musicians. They got the whole wedding party on their feet and brought so much energy to the Ceilidh - we have had so many people comment on how fun it was. The disco afterwards was exactly what we were after. Easy to organise with from start to finish - we couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank you!! Alex & Louise X”

“They were absolutely brilliant from start to finish; I had constant compliments from my guests on how great the band was, with several asking for their details. Everything went to plan, they went out of their way to ask about preferences, happily accommodated the various shenanigans we had going on, and tweaked some of the dances to accommodate hosting a ceilidh in a pretty tight space. Couldn't recommend highly enough.”
“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.”

“Hup were absolutely fantastic - cannot thank them enough for the great tunes and atmosphere. 1000% recommend!”
“Honestly if you’re looking for an authentic traditional ceilidh band with a modern twist these are your guys! What a phenomenal job they did for our wedding. They learned our first dance song in a short space of time and blew us away! They brought energy all night long and supported Dave in preforming his own rendition of Quando. We cannot thank these guys enough for bringing the vibes, keeping the dance floor busy and being gentle with our English guests learning how to ceilidh dance. The music sounded incredible, it was such a perfect fit and all our guests & vendors have sang their praises! Take this as your sign to book them!!! ”
“The Glasgow Ceilidh Band were fantastic! They arrived/set up etc exactly when they said they would. Their music playing was so good - very lively and enjoyable and sound level perfect and their rock versions of traditional tunes went down a storm. They explained the dances well to a mixed group of party goers. The only thing I regret is we didn't get enough time with them. I had arranged for a disco after the buffet (which they supplied as well)... next time I'll have them play all night. Organisation (via Fix the Music) was simple and queries were always responded to quickly. ”
“Oh my god! Hup were incredible! They learned 'Dancing in the Moonlight' by Thin Lizzy on our request and it was honestly incredible (I hope they add it into their repertoire for future weddings). You will not regret hiring Hup. They were so kind and professional and the music was beyond brilliant! If we have any future events we'll be getting them again and recommending them to anyone we know getting married. Thank you so so so much! Georgie and Calum.”
“We had the most incredible wedding ceilidh party with The Edinburgh Ceilidh Band! Mathew and his band were brilliant - the night brought together our Scottish family with our German family for the first time, which meant that half the room had never experienced a ceilidh before. The band patiently explained the steps, played amazingly for hours and created such a fun and memorable night for us. Thank you!!”

“Matthew and the rest of the band were fantastic! Really quick communication on the lead up to the day and throughout the evening as well. They read the room and got almost everyone up dancing. They sorted out our first dance too. I would highly recommend them for your wedding, we had lots of positive comments about the ceilidh from our guests!”

“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!”
“They were amazing from start to finish. Our first dance song was more than we could have ever imagined. Everyone loved the band. Thank you so so much, The Birnies xx”
“We have absolutely zero regrets about booking Seafolk for our wedding. They were amazing! Not many people had been to a ceilidh before but each dance was walked through first and even though it occasionally descended into slight chaos with the faster dances…each and every person had a blast! Couldn’t recommend highly enough to anyone considering these guys. They’re super friendly, communicate well and their mix of traditional into modern is second to none. Wish we could do the whole night again”
