    'Brilliant evening, Ceilidh Tree kept the dance floor full all night with dances for all ages from 8-80 years. Communication and negotiations with Ceilidh Tree were easy and professional, the only regret of the evening was that it ended far too quickly. Well done Ceilidh Tree you made a good evening great. Thank you.' - Mike Pearson, Feb 2020

I highly recommend them.' - Cathryn Barber, Feb 2020

We would definitely recommend them to anyone.' - Rachel Allison, Jan 2019

    'We had Ceilidh Tree at our wedding and they were absolutely superb. From clear communication in advance, to suggesting some completely new dances that were amazing fun, to very good calling and marshalling people on the dance floor, they were fantastic throughout. And as it was a Scottish wedding, it was a tough crowd who know their stuff - and everyone said the band were great! We can't recommend them highly enough.' - Gordon, Feb 2018

Christopher Harper Avatar

    'As a very experienced ceilidh dancer, there was plenty in it for me, without the sense of slowing down and waiting for others to be taught that can sometimes affect the pace of a ceilidh. The standard of music was excellent and the band showed such flexibility in ensuring a brilliant evening was had by all. Certainly my first call for any ceilidh I arrange in future.' - Christopher Harper, Aug 2019

    'Brilliant night for our 40th anniversary. You adapted brilliantly to a diverse audience with children, ceilidh newbies and oldies who still managed the dances. The band kept the dances simple and the breaks frequent to allow old family and friends to catch up. We didn’t request any of this specifically, they simply responded to the people in the room. Everyone had a wonderful time - one teenager declared it was better than clubbing!' - Karen Bartlett-Kelly, Aug 2019
