“Amazing band, they were the perfect way to end such a special day, couldn't recommend highly enough. Very professional singing and playing with pleny of banter too which made it fun for everyone. We had guests from overseas and the calling was so good, everyone got involved.”

5 stars - Gypsy Rogues are Highly Recommended
booked Gypsy Rogues for their Wedding in Herefordshire

“My partner and I wanted a relaxed, fun wedding day with a ceilidh in the evening. We got in touch with Alive and shortly afterwards booked the Gypsy Rogues. They were absolutely brilliant! Whilst not everyone joined in (which is always the way) the vast majority did, and every single person that was up and dancing had a big smile on their face. We were all beginners but this didn't matter in the s...”


Best ceilidh band for our wedding

5 stars - Reels Ceilidh Band are Highly Recommended
booked Reels Ceilidh Band for their Wedding in Aberdeenshire

“The music was great, the band engaged with all guests and had them up dancing to every dance. Everyone had a fantastic time, and were commenting on how much they enjoyed the band. Strip the willow near the end of the night was so much fun. Thank you!”


There's no band like you in the borders or I doubt the whole of Scotland!

5 stars - The Dancing Ceilidh Trio are Highly Recommended
booked The Dancing Ceilidh Trio for their event

“That was the 3rd time I have booked you this year 2022, I think I should have invited you guys for Xmas dinner lol. You played at my daughter 21st birthday ceilidh at the British legion in Kelso, then you played for my Hubby's 70th, THEN you played for my sons Wedding at the Mansfield House in Hawick! Every single event was an absolute cracker, and I will be seeing you for some more in 2023. There...”

Great music, lovely people, highly recommended!

5 stars - Rakish Paddy are Highly Recommended
booked Rakish Paddy for their Wedding

“I booked Rakish Paddy as my wedding band and they were great! From the beginning they were so helpful and friendly, adding in more country songs (as I knew our audience would love it!), learning a new song for our first dance and ensuring they did reels for my auntie to showcase the ‘brush dance’ ! On the night the dance floor was packed, and my guests exclaimed that they felt just as if they w...”
