I found the experience of hiring Hot Scotch Ceildh band easy enough.
On the night they arrived in plenty of time and were polite, friendly and accommodating. Everyone at the party was super impressed by them.
Although we had a lot of children (some quite young) present the band were great at calling the instructions to keep us right and everyone dancing had a great time. For others not dancing, the music was enjoyable to listen to.

Phil really was incredible! He gave a group of 16 girls a barn dance lesson as part of a hen part. We all absolutely loved the session, especially the bride to be!
Phil was extremely responsive the whole way through and was very accommodating with keeping it a surprise!
I would highly recommend Phil, he is really talented and fantastic entertainment!

Great night, band were brilliant and the caller, Mary made the evening,! Easy, friendly, clear instruction. Enjoyed by all, the youngest, the eldest and all the ones (who had a one too many) in-between, the dance floor was full all evening. The thanks we have recieved from all who attended has been over whelming.
Can't find fault.

The veritable ceilidh club performed at our wedding yesterday and they were absolutely fantastic. Very patient calling and the transitions between songs were amazing. Above all they were all nice people and made everything really easy. Would highly recommend hiring these guys and girls.
