Testimonials
| Wedding Anniversary | "Our 50th wedding celebration went extremely well on 16th October certainly in a substantial part in the evening to the Ceilidh Band from West Yorkshire. The band leader popped his head into the Hall early on to check it was the right place and they all arrived separately and well on time. They were friendly and although they had not been doing much together during the previous 12 months they played well together and everyone appreciated the caller, Sue who led us very well. We had some initial discussion with them about where to set up in the hall and they eventually agreed to our suggestion due to the location of fire exits in the hall. One extra thing to mention was that as our guests were not in the first flush of youth their movement in one particular dance was slower than the band were probably used to but the caller pointed out afterwards that the band had slowed their playing to be in time with the dancing. I think not many bands would be sensitive enough to do that!" |
| Birthday | "It was a very enjoyable occasion, not least because of your band. It was also nice because you played and called some dances that we haven't done before. Many thanks to all of the band members!" |
| Wedding | "The band are a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Beautifully organised, extremely courteous and more than wishing to please, they set a wonderful atmosphere as guests arrived at the Reception and walked into dinner. After speeches, they struck up lively tunes and it was such fun to see resistant dancers persuaded onto the dance floor." |
