Testimonials

"We could not thank or recommend Staffin Island enough for their performance at our wedding. So many of our guests have commented how great a time they had dancing. Chris did such a fantastic job of rallying a pretty rowdy bunch of tipsy Yorkshire folk who had no clue what they were doing! You all really made sure it was an amazing night. Thank you so much!" ~ Charlotte

"We had a great night with the Staffin Island Ceilidh band. The booking, planning and communication process was very straightforward. The talented band played excellent music and the caller did a brilliant job of explaining the dances. We had a few interesting and innovative dances that we had not come across before and that kept everyone on the dance floor and mixing well. Definitely recommend this band and we will be asking them back for the next ceilidh." ~ Katherine
