• July 7, 2018The 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.

• Aug. 4, 2018"The Tartan Trio played at our wedding in August 2018 and were absolutely exceptional. I had so many people say to me on the night and afterwards how brilliant they were. We requested to start with everyone together, rather than a traditional first dance, and they made it work perfectly. The caller was fantastic and so engaged with the audience - even getting off stage to demonstrate. It was 32 degrees during the day but people still wanted to keep dancing - at other ceilidhs I've been to guests have given up and not danced much. We provided a playlist for after and they put it together so everything flowed nicely and honestly we just had the best time! I highly highly recommend them (and have literally been telling newly engaged strangers to look them up!)
Note: not the individuals in the photo and their email communication could be better. But the end result is worth it!"
