We've really enjoyed playing at all the events we've been invited to and we've received lots of compliments about our lively performances. Thanks everyone for your comments, it's been a pleasure. Here's what a few have kindly put into words:

Your thanks and tributes.
"..thank you all for a super evening's entertainment on Saturday. It was enjoyed by all generations (from a 4 year old to my 87 year old Uncle) and even those who, beforehand, had not been keen on the idea found they could join in and have fun. Two of my daughter's single girl friends wrote in the guest book, 'Loved the country dancing! Best dancing I can remember.' and 'Really enjoyed the dancing with the entertainment'. Those who didn't want to dance (or needed a rest between dances) appreciated being able to hear the music yet still enjoy their conversations. So, again, a big thank you to you all for your enormous contribution to making the occasion such a happy one. Best regards, Irene" July 2010
"I thought it was a great choice in booking you, next time we will make sure there is a bigger dance floor!! I'm glad we took the decision to open up the marquee near the dance area, because more people were sat outside because of the great weather, that way they could hear you well. I would certainly recommend you to others and most certainly book you again in the future, I thought your caller Roger was brilliant and really got people going. Its a credit to you and the rest of your band members for helping us make our event a success. The comments have been amazing, one supplier said, 'it's the best event we have ever been to'. Regards Alison" June 2010.
"Thanks to you all for the fantastic entertainment at our wedding! Everyone enjoyed the music and the atmosphere was brilliant! We really enjoyed listening to you playing and thank you so much for playing the Blooming Heather song! My dad loved it and keeps singing it now! You all played really well and we will definitely come to the next Ceilidh! Keep in touch with any updates on events! Best Wishes, Heather & Malcolm." June 2010
"Just wanted to say a (belated) thank you for the brilliant ceilidh you put on for our wedding! We spent last weekend watching some videos people had taken and everyone looked like they were having a fantastic time! Thank you again and best wishes for future gigs. Melissa & Charlie" May 2010.
"We would like to thank you and all the members of the Union Street Ceilidh Band for your wonderful contribution to our wedding celebration.
