“A big thank you to Sporran Again for travelling all the way to Telford in bad weather for our dinner. The ceilidh was very, very popular and we have had lots of people getting in touch saying how much they enjoyed it! We will certainly keep you in mind for future congresses should anyone request a ceilidh again – which after this dinner I think they will!” Elsbeth Matthews, administrator, British Cattle Veterinary Association (BCVA) Annual Congress, Telford International Centre, 20 Oct 2023
“Sporran Again were absolutely fantastic as our wedding band and we couldn’t have asked for more talented or professional musicians. Even before we booked them, they were friendly and accommodating, and always on hand to answer our questions. Their pricing is competitive and provides brilliant value for money: they were on top form all night and had our guests dancing from start to finish. They are by far the best ceilidh band we have ever heard and we feel so lucky to have had them at our special day. Their performance, energy, and attitude were all completely flawless. Sporran Again rock!” Katharine & Kathan, bride & groom, Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa, St Andrews, 12 August 2023

“I just wanted to say thank you so much to all the band for a fantastic ceilidh last night. I felt we were in completely safe hands from the beginning. Everyone thought you were brilliant, and I got to feel smug all evening that my careful research had paid off with the best possible choice of band. Your caller was excellent, with the right level of input at all times, respectful to the few people unable to dance (the injured table, including some invisible injuries!) and encouraging where needed. We loved your musical style and prowess, really appreciated something more lively and less predictable. Our young and very musical guests clearly agreed and voted with their feet so that the dance floor was always full. Thanks again for everything. So glad I chose you and still feeling ridiculously pleased with myself for that!” Jayne Whitehead, daughter’s 21st birthday party, Station Hotel, Aberdeen, 07 May 2022

“We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making the day as perfect as we could’ve possibly hoped for. The music was truly exceptional, both we and our guests absolutely loved it with some even saying (including ourselves obviously) it was the best they’d ever sampled at a wedding! Both you and the band were incredibly friendly and supportive in the build up to and throughout the wedding. A special mention as well to yourself and Johnny for being so personal with us – we really felt a special bond with you guys.

“Just wanted to say a big thank you for making our wedding go off with a bang on Saturday night. Everyone had a fantastic time, from the first timers, to the Scottish folk who knew (most!) of the dances. Having been to many ceilidhs we both agree that this is absolutely the future! The music sounded brilliant, modern and energetic, but still unmistakably Scottish and Celtic. With you guys constantly mixing it up, each dance had 2 or 3 kicks to get everything bouncing again. You found the perfect balance of dances to make sure the floor was always filled. So thanks! We will definitely recommend you to friends and family.” Jamie & David Greig, bride & groom, Culcreuch Castle, Fintry, 13 May 2017

“Just wanted to say a MASSIVE thanks from both families for the band’s efforts on Saturday night at David & Mairi’s wedding reception at The Scores Hotel. So glad we chose Sporran Again and you were able to take our booking. Thanks also for your patience when we had the hassle with the change of venue earlier this year. Saturday was a brilliant evening and everyone enjoyed the wedding dance whether they came from Austria, South of England or closer to home. High quality playing, good sound system and excellent craic between dances. You got the ceilidh set spot on as evidenced by the number of people dancing and Johnny’s efforts on the dance calling were greatly appreciated. I don’t recall you ever having to ask for extra couples to come forward to make up sets and, if anything, we could have done with a bigger dance floor. Highlight for me was dancing the Gay Gordons with Mairi to ‘Mairi’s Wedding’ – thanks a million for making the father of the bride even happier than he already was! We would be delighted to highly recommend you to anyone looking for a ceilidh band for their function. Thanks a lot and it was great dealing with you.” David & Karen Templeton, Parents of the Bride, The Scores Hotel, St Andrews, 6th July 2013
