"Ragin' Ceilidh gave us an absolutely amazing night of dancing for our medical school graduation ball. Their mix of covers, traditional ceilidh music and little surprises like in the Gay Gordon’s commanded the room of 340 students for an unforgettable night! They clearly know what they’re doing from set up to ending the night, and made a very easy job for us organisers. After 4 annual medical school balls, I can confidently say they are up there with the best callers for dances which make a big difference to the experience for everyone from beginners to ceilidh veterans. They will definitely be at the top of my list for ceilidh bands in the future, and we have highly recommended them to the next rowdy bunch of students graduating!"

"What a fantastic evening we all had on Saturday for my 60th birthday. The Ragin' Ceilidh band had everyone on the dance floor for every single dance. Apart from being amazing musicians, they are a very professional outfit who were polite and accommodating. Having attended hundreds of ceilidhs I can honestly say that they are the best ceilidh band I've had the pleasure of dancing to. Thanks guys for an amazing night."
