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!
Kenneth and Alexia

Dear Tony,
Thank you, Jerry and Donald for making Alastair's 30th
birthday party at Stirling Rugby Club such a huge success.

So many of Alastair's and my friends have said that it was
the best party they had ever been at.
They loved the way everyone was included and Donald did such
a great job of calling the dances.




We'll recommend you!

Many thanks

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!

Tony

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

Hi Tony,

Could you please pass on my thanks to Frank and Isobel for the great entertainment they provided last night. I was busy at the end of the evening fixing out our final bill for the Conference Center so didn’t manage to thank them personally before they left. Everyone enjoyed themselves and I have had a lot of positive comments about the evening. 

Thanks again. We all had a wonderful time and would hope to use your band again.

Regards,

Lynn

Hi Tony,

Just a note to say thank you very much for providing an excellent evening for our wedding. Donald listened to exactly what we wanted and the dance floor was full all night! We had a great night to remember. Thanks also for welcoming our friends who played during the buffet, they appreciated the encouragement they received from the band.

We got our dvd back this week and certainly saw lots of smiling faces dancing!

Kind regards

Thanks Tony,

Everything went really well with the open day and we were extremely
happy with the band - they provided a fantastic atmosphere and even got me up and dancing at one point!

Thank you for making our event work really well - it was the best sales

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

Dear Tony
 
We wanted to express our biggest THANKS for such a wonderful night with the Scottish Ceilidh Band at our wedding!

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 any future occassions.

Best wishes!
 

Linda and Simon

You played at my 50th birthday party in the Lake District
and were brilliant. Everyone said afterwards how the band had
completely energised the evening and brought people together.

And it's true!

 Here's my advice to ceilidh organisers:


"If you’re too busy organising everything else to be worried about your band .......


  • You need to be sure they can play well

  • You need to be sure the caller is good."

 
  "We have relied on Scotland's Ceilidh Band as a family for many,   many years now ......


  • For two weddings, one 21st  birthday, two 25th wedding anniversaries.

  • As a Church for umpteen Parish Ceilidhs, Scout Ceilidhs and School Ceilidhs.... etc"



    Your's sincerely,

"We needed to raise money for charity at short notice and didn't know where to start. On the recommendation of one of our members we contacted Scotland's Ceildh Band, and both the fundraising advice and the event itself surpassed all our expectations - we raised over £1000 on the night." - D. Jeffreys, Glasgow

"Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without the fun and entertainment you gave us  - you'll be remembered for years to come." - M. Bowes, Glasgow
