We made a good choice in selecting Pilgarlic. Your pace, volume, and musicianship were all just right for us. I have been to a few ceilidhs and barn dances over the years, but this was the first I think where I have participated in every dance. Having shown that ... Residents can enjoy dancing, I know that we will have other ceilidhs here in the future!"" CKS, Bath, December 2013"

The caller was particularly friendly and approachable and yet was still managing to get people to listen and dance, despite temperatures in the high 20s !
Thank you for your help."
