Booked for Private party

What an amazing evening. The band were so entertaining - it was like having a comedy night and band in one! They were so engaging, I loved the banter and the energy! We were a tired group of people (school staff at the end of term) but they did their best to keep us going and keep the energy up. We will all remember this night!

Booked for Wedding

Karl and the rest of the band absolutely made our night! They managed to wrangle a 100+ crowd and get them on their feet for a ceilidh. Karl was an excellent caller and adapted instructions and routines as he went, ensuring everyone felt welcome and included. The music was full of energy and exactly what we were after; as a family of Murphys, we were very happy with the song/dance choices and loved every second. Karl was communicative throughout the booking and planning process, ensuring everything was prepped well in advance of our wedding day. We honestly could not be happier, and neither could our guests: it was the highlight of the night for many, and we couldn't have picked a better band. A massive diolch yn fawr from Mr and Mrs Murphy!

Booked for Wedding

We had the band at our son's wedding and they were great. They got everybody going and David's instructions were very good and very funny, too. Hardly anyone knew how to dance these dances, so chaos ensued in the most entertaining way. By the last song we finally got it and they kept playing for 15 minutes (!) because everyone was most enthusiastically participating. These guys are wonderful musicians and entertainers. Thank you so very much!

Booked for Celebration

The band was absolutely amazing! We had a brilliant time dancing the evening away! All our guests absolutely loved it, and David got everybody up and dancing. Great for all ages - from grandparents to small children, everybody had a fantastic time. David's calling was fantastic and the band was wonderful. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. From the very first, with friendly and quick email exchanges, to the evening itself, the whole thing was marvellous. Toe-tapping, side-splitting laughter, much joy and going the extra mile to make the day special for us - even bringing out the bagpipes to call us all into the barn for the ceilidh. Out of ten, it's a twelve from us!

Booked for Birthday party

The Tartan Trio are brilliant musicians so even if you have guests who can't or won't dance listening is an absolute pleasure. They also are good at calling and talk you through each dance so you can do all the moves. We had a fantastic evening of fun and dancing.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
