Here's some recent email
feedback we've received from customers -
(All testimonials are available for inspection
at our office by request.)
Tony,
I'm sorry to email and not call but I feel like you before one of your big long trips...manic
preparations!
Tony, Steve and I wanted to say a massive thank you for everything you did to make our day as wonderous as
it was...the music was huge and we will always be very grateful...
Your piper, Tony set the tone and built that anticipation...it was thrilling to arrive to the sound of
pipes..particularly as so many guests had travelled internationally.
What an absolute luxury to arrive to the sounds of your friend John on the piano setting an out
of this world ambience at West Brewery. It felt marvellous seeing our guests mingling with champagne
and canapes to his tinkling piano.
And finally, the piece de resistance (excuse my french)...your ceilidh was marvellous...I will never forget
the strip the willow for all my life...so upliftng...seeing all my pals getting up to join the Iranian
disco session, and that final 80s electronica medley. It was divine Tony.
Ou guests had a wonderful time...we had a wonderful time and the music was a dream come true...thank you.
And you can quote me on that.

Tony,
Belatedly, thank you for an excellent performance at my 60th party at the Carnoustie Golf Hotel.
All my guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the dancing was great - aided by your perseverance in getting
everyone on the floor!!
I think at one stage you had over 80 people up and on the floor and enjoying themselves.
The Orcadian strip the willow was a highlight!!
Hope you continue to be '' in demand '' - I will certainly recommend you to anyone needing a top quality ceilidh
band.
Many thanks,
Barclay Low.

Dear Tony
I just wanted to say thank you so much for supplying the Band for Hogmanay - they lived up to all expectations
and then some!
I am just so sorry that the hall was so cold - I don't know what happened to the heating but I felt so sorry for
them all - do please pass on my thanks.
I am not sure if they would be willing or free to do it again next year but if they were then please may we book
them.
It really made the evening as they were so good at getting everyone up to dance and in helping calling out new
dances and keeping it all going - real stars - I know you will pass on my thanks.
Happy New Year to you all and thank you again.
Kind Regards

They read the crowd perfectely and the ceilidh was so well enjoyed that we didnt bother about a
disco.
Thanks again.

Dear Tony,
CEILIDH- UNIVERSITY OF
EDINBURGH
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT CENTRE
Thank you so much to you and Scotland’s Ceilidh Band for a wonderful evening.
From the start your friendly and professional manner made it so much easier to organize our event.
Then on the night the band knew exactly how to get the crowd going and they were particularly successful in
catering to the large percentage of our audience who had never experienced a true Scottish ceilidh before.
Many thanks for giving them such a fantastic first impression and keeping us all entertained
throughout.
Yours sincerely,
Sarah Lynch

'all over the place' for them to keep up with my requests.
Please pass my thanks on to them

Hi Tony
My wife and I would like to thank you for a great
Ceilidh and Disco on Saturday 31st January 2009 at the
Crowne Plaza Hotel in Glasgow.
Your caller was great at getting our guests up onto
the dance floor and then talking us all through the routines
before the dances started. Most people had a rough idea
of what to do at each dance but Donald easily talked us
all through each one and kept everyone right. We had a
fantastic night and the Ceilidh was amazing.
We've had phone calls and texts from our guests since Saturday
to tell us how much they enjoyed the night. Donald and Paul
did a great job with the Ceilidh, everyone
had a fantastic night.
When our Disco started after the Ceilidh the evening
continued into a fantastic night.
Thanks again!

We attended a Retirement party on Arran in November and Scotland's Ceilidh Band were playing. They were
brilliant, they played all the old favourites and introduced us to some new ones. The caller took us
through our paces before each new dance and managed to get everyone joining in. The accomplished
muscians played excellent music and a very good night was had by all.
Thanks for your efforts!

Sorry this has taken us so long to get back to you!
Manus and I would like to let you know, everyone at Theresa's birthday party
enjoyed themselves. People who would not normally dance were up dancing,
young and old and everyone in between. We are still getting people come back
to us saying how good the music was and what a fantastic night they had.
Your band were brilliant, they ensured the mood of the evening was just right and ensured Theresa had a good party
to remember. Please pass on our thanks to
them.
We have had guests come back to us for your contact details, so hopefully they'll
be in touch.
Thank you once again, and we will have no hesitation contacting you if we need a ceilidh band again.
Thank you

Dear Tony,
I would just like to say what a wonderful night my son had on the 16th August. I was very sorry
that I did not get the chance to speak to the musicians at the end of the night as so many people were thanking us
for the brilliant evening. I would appreciate if you could pass on my thanks to them.
I have had many letters sent to me ranging from family and friends to professional orchestral
members who all thoroughly enjoyed the music. The caller even achieved the impossible by getting both grans up
dancing!!!
Thanks again, I will certainly pass on your details to anyone looking
for a band.
Best Wishes

Our family and friends keep raving about what a wonderful wedding it was and how much fun they had and the success
of having a ceilidh bringing people together.
Mixing couples in various dances was absolutely brilliant! Even I (bride) got
to meet and dance with my husband's friends and family whom I've not met before!
The whole evening was unforgettable and I would not hesitate to hire your services again or recommend your band for

Hello Tony,
Many thanks for your confirmation sent to Hannah for both our
Birthdays and our Wedding on Sunday 21st March 2010.
It was a real treat to chat with you for so long on the Skype phone from Shanghai. I
can see from your emails to Hannah and your follow up that you are running a very professional and efficient
business - head and shoulders above many others in the same line. I am most impressed.
Having been in the nightclub business most of my life I am not unused to dealing with
bands and musicians who are great guys and great at their job but could not tell you the time of day!
Nearer the time we will have to discuss things in more detail in regard to
running times as I am trying to fit in as much as possible to our night.
Very best personal regards,
Teri
