Bianca here (you and the guys put on a ceilidh for my husband’s and my wedding in April this year)

We have been talking about you guys quite a bit recently as we have recently attended a wedding where they had a ceilidh band too.... And while they were nice, they honestly were not a patch on you guys! At this recent wedding we did have fun, and we did dance a lot, but we are SO grateful that we had you guys as our band! You were brilliant and we still get people commenting what an amazing group you all are!

Just wanted to say thank you again for making our day so much fun and for performing such fantastic music, and putting so much energy in to the room! We hope you are all well 🙂

Your band recently performed at our leaving party ... I just wanted to thank you directly for how fantastic you guys were!

It was above and beyond my expectations! You were so interactive; got everyone up and dancing! The dance routines were brilliant and EVERYONE loved it!
The band members were so friendly and upbeat, it made the world of difference! And most of all, you did not stop!!! Haha pretty much non-stop music all night until the very end! - you never gets bands like that!

So thank you again! I had the best evening and so much wonderful feedback about the band. I would definitely use you again and will definitely recommend you!
— Kelly & Tom
A massive thank you to all of you for last night, it was fantastic and as always everyone loved you guys..you were awesome!

Once again thank you for everything,

I’ll be in touch if I organise another barn dance :)

I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation on behalf of myself & all my guests, to you all, for the fantastic music and entertainment last Saturday.
Everyone had so much fun and I’ve received so many happy messages for such an enjoyable evening.

Thank you for helping make my ‘50th’ celebrations so memorable and special.
I will always recommend Black Sheep with high praise. I’ll look forward to the next barn dance!!

Many thanks again...

We just wanted to thank you for a brilliant ceilidh for our wedding... We had a fantastic time, and were really pleased with the wonderful music and brilliant calling. The caller was clear and had a brilliant sense of humour to keep everyone on track and enjoying the dancing. The dances were pitched just right, and the last dance was a brilliant surprise and a wonderful way to send us off from our big day.
