Norton House Hotel and Spa, 01-Sep-24

Everyone at the wedding commented on how much they enjoyed the music and we really enjoyed the balance between the ceilidh music and the cover songs. The merge between the ceilidh music and the more modern music whilst we were still ceilidh dancing went down very well. Quite a lot of our guests hadn't done a ceilidh before and Andrew was great at walking everyone through what they were meant to be doing. Thank you to The Sleekit Beasties for a brilliant evening!

Great energy on the night and lots of clear communication in the lead up. They arrived punctually and everyone loved the ceilidh in particular (great calling!). Thanks for a super fun night.

Oran Mor, 26-Jul-24

The Sleekit Beasties were the perfect wedding band, Before the wedding, they were quick to respond to our questions and always replied to us in a timely manner. They were open to us choosing a few songs from their list that we really wanted to hear which we really appreciated. They were also very good ceilidh hosts. Our wedding had about 50% of guests not knowing what a ceilidh was, and the Sleekit Beasties were on the dancefloor helping everyone get to grips with the dancemoves. We really appreciated how well they were able to teach the dances to total beginners (especially with the amount of total beginners on the dancefloor!). Overall we were so pleased to have the Sleekit Beasties playing for us on our big day - many guests exclaimed how good they were and we could not reccomend them enough!

Netherdale House, 01-Jun-24

Friendly bunch. Turned up on time, set up and dismantle was quick and quiet. Confirmed our first dance song and was performed perfectly. Loved how they had a caller and then someone demonstrating the moves on the dance floor for ceilidh, and then the transition from ceilidh music into disco. Brilliant band, thank you.

We were delighted with the band. We found the emails from them before our wedding very helpful and reassuring. They really listened to what we wanted played. Before they started playing they talked to us about the evening and their plan. Highly professional in all aspects.. they read the room. We’re fantastic at getting everyone up ceildh dancing. Having the caller out on the floor was excellent. Greatvalue for money. The evening music can make or break your event. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough

House for an Art Lover, 01-Oct-23

The band were brilliant, the guitar and fiddle duo for our ceremony were lovely and we felt it created a relaxed atmosphere. Some of the guests had said they liked the songs that had been played as they were arriving, thinking that we had picked them but unfortunately we couldn't take credit for that ?? they were great at the evening reception, particularly as our guests were difficult to get up for a ceilidh dance... But we loved the ceilidh calling and the fact that a band member was on the floor demonstrating too. All in all, we were really pleased we picked the Sleekit Beasties and our guests commented on how great they had been. They did everything we asked for, Sam was great to communicate with too before the day and they were so friendly at the wedding. I would highly recommend them to other couples! Thank you for a great day.

Neidpath Castle, 25-Oct-23

The Sleekit Beasties were incredible!! The music was amazing and they performed our first dance song perfectly! The band were so welcoming and really kept the energy going. It was a wedding full of English people and I was concerned about getting people up to ceilidh but the band taught us step by step and made sure everyone wanted and felt able to get involved! Best band ever!

Bryony Sweet, Peebles

Oxenfoord Castle, 23-Sep-23

Absolutely amazing. Brought the most excellent energy to our wedding. The ceilidh calling was very clear - essential for an international guestlist! Would 110% recommend and/or book again. Really brilliant.

LUCY DEPLA, Pathhead EH37 5UB

Ednam House, 15-Sep-23

The Sleekit Beasties by far are the best live band I have seen/heard at a wedding reception ever. Their constant interactions with the guests and get up and go attitude is unprecedented. One of our older generations at the wedding said it was fantastic to see the band teaching the ceilidh to all the guests who didn’t know how to do it. Everybody danced at some point which is unheard of. From the band arriving to the very end they were very professional but also felt like we had known them for a long time. We will 100% pass on their recommendation, we have already had a request to who they were from one of our guests. I would like to thank The Sleekit Beaties for a fabulous night, you certainly made our wedding reception memorable. Thank you.

Neidpath Castle, 05-Jul-23

The Sleekit Beasties were amazing! The music was fantastic and the members were all so upbeat and friendly. They did an amazing job teaching everyone how to do all the different ceilidh dances. We had so many people coming up to us saying what a great band there are. We would 100% recommend them!

Shannon Hanson, Peebles

Hopetoun House, 01-Jul-23

The Sleekit Beasties were absolutely amazing! We were able to send them a list through of our favourite songs from their set list and they were able to incorporate so many into the evening! Every song was absolutely fantastic, the hora went perfectly, and we absolutely LOVED how they interspersed the ceilidh dancing throughout the night - it really kept people on the dance floor. All of my Canadian family have been raving about it and about the amazing energy of the Sleekit Beasties. The music is SUCH a big part of making the wedding feel so joyous, and the Sleekit Beasties all went above and beyond - thanks to the band so much for being such an instrumental (no pun intended) part of our day!

Alyssa Muzyk, Queensferry

Rossie on the Earn, 24-Jun-23

The Sleekit Beasties were absolutely fantastic from start to finish! We had so many guests comment on how good they were and they provide a fantastic mix of ceilidh and cover songs. The band learned 2 covers for our first dance and father-daughter dance and these were both performed perfectly and made the day so special for us. Nothing was too much trouble for the band and they were a huge factor in making our evening so memorable and fun - I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Katie Gardner, Forgandenny (PH2 9EH)

Broxmouth Park, 05-Apr-23

Sleekit Beasties learned and performed our 1st dance song and it was incredible. Their sound and energy was great throughout the evening. They were perfect and all our guests loved them as much as we did. Great mix of ceilidh and dance music. They made the steps of the ceilidh easy to follow, even for our Danish guests.

Lee Gillie, Dunbar

Cottiers, 11-Feb-23

The band were amazing, so friendly and professional , nothing was too much trouble. They supported us through our first dance too. I had seen them at an event a number of years ago, but they exceeded my expectations. The wedding guests were keen for a ceilidh and everyone commented to myself or the groom about how brilliant the Sleekit Beasties were and loved the mix of modern music with traditional ceilidh. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a wedding band,

Gillian Allan, Hyndland Street G11 5PU

Logie Country House, 14-Jan-23

The Sleekit Beasties were absolutely brilliant at our wedding reception. A pleasure to work with - very easy communication before and on the day of the wedding. We requested a song off the set-list for the first dance and they performed it perfectly. Played the perfect mix of ceilidh music (with top tier dance calling) and hits to get people on the floor. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Matthew Valentine, Pitcaple, Inverurie, AB51 5EE

Comrie Croft, 10-Dec-22

The Sleekit Beasties were absolutely brilliant - great communication pre-event, and we and our guests absolutely loved them. We could not have chosen a better band, thank you so much! Everyone has been very complimentary of both the ceilidh and music overall.

Emma Needs, Braincroft, Comrie

Aswanley, 01-Oct-22

Fantastic, there was hardly any times when no one was up on the dance floor. We have had so many compliments on the band by all our guests. I would recommend them to anyone. They were all so friendly and extremely helpful throughout.

paul huggins, Huntly Aberdeenshire

Ednam House Hotel, 02-Sep-22

The Sleekit Beasties were amazing on our wedding day!! They got absolutely everybody up dancing and the ceilidh was phenomenal. All of our guests commented on how fantastic they were and how much they enjoyed the ceilidh. We had quite a lot of non-Scottish guests so it was their first ceilidh and the band took everyone through the dances so well. I would recommend The Sleekit Beasties in a heartbeat!

Lauren Bunnage, Kelso

Cornhill Castle , 06-Sep-22

The Sleekit Beasties we’re just amazing. They made our wedding day perfect. All of our guests have said how fantastic they were. They played a good mix of ceilidh and covers and everyone danced. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to others. Thank you Sleekit Beasties you were fabulous.

Balmoral Hotel, 24-Jul-22

My son and daughter in law's wedding reception at Balmoral on Sunday 24th July went really well, hugely helped by the professionalism and talent of The Sleekit Beasties. I'm very sorry that I got caught up with talking to departing guests and didn't manage to speak to the band members before you left. The quality of the playing and singing was fantastic! Thank you for entertaining us so well for the whole evening.

Catherine Stevenson, Princes Street, Edinburgh

the walled garden, 16-Jul-22

We couldn’t have asked for more! The Sleekit Beasties were outstanding! They smashed our first dance song and created a beautiful version that we will never forget. Their support throughout the whole planning process was excellent, consistently keeping in touch and supporting any queries quickly. All night switching between pop bangers and ceilidh was excellent to keep our guests up dancing all night. Our dance floor was never empty. All night our guests kept complimenting “these guys are the best wedding band we have ever heard” many of our guests expressed they didn’t like wedding bands but the Sleekit Beasties changed their minds. We particularly loved when the band transitioned into music such as the red hot chilli peppers during the ceilidh, brilliant! Everyone was loving it. We honestly couldn’t have asked from more from our band, they were the highlight of the night and guests are still talking about it! Thank you so much and hopefully we come across you at another wedding in the future!

Dundas Castle, 08-Jul-22

We had the pleasure of not only having the Sleekit Beasties play for our wedding reception, but also having Sam play for us on the Harp during our ceremony. They were incredible and kept our guests up and dancing throughout the evening. Sam made the moment walking down the aisle with my dad so memorable. They managed to get a 100 Americans up to Ceilidh - a feat in itself! We were absolutely thrilled with their performance and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good time!

Olivia Anderson, South Queensferry

Lodge on Loch Lomond, 30-Apr-22

Absolutely outstanding band, we had the best night thanks to them! Went over and above learning our first dance song and the dance floor was packed the whole evening. Everyone commented on how fantastic the band were, especially with the ceilidh dances to modern music. Highly recommend to everyone!

Sarah Simpson, Luss, Loch Lomond

lodge on loch lomond, 29-Apr-22

The band were brilliant! We could not have asked for more. So many of our guests complimented them and we thought they were just perfect. The ceilidh was great fun and the smooth transitions into covers were excellent. Their communication with us leading up to the wedding and on the day was also great. Thanks so much!

Sophie Nash, Luss, Alexandria

Hartree Estates, 23-Apr-22

Our band, The Sleekit Beasties, were one of the highlights of our wedding day. Half of our guests visited from Australia and the band taught them to ceiling dance and by the end of the night, everyone was doing strip the willlow together. I have had so many guests saying they were fantastic and that they didn’t want the dancing to stop. Lovely people, great talent and awesome energy! Couldn’t have been happier with our choice!

Emma Forbes, Biggar

Marycutler House Hotel, 08-Apr-22

The band were fantastic. Our guests were never off the dance floor. The way they fuse popular music with traditional ceilidh music is really fantastic. Communication with the band was excellent and they responded to any questions promptly. They were so professional and did an amazing job. I would not hesitate to book them again and would definitely recommend to anyone considering them for their own event.

Kyrsten Milne, Aberdeen

Ingilston Country Club, 02-Apr-22

We don’t know where to start with our feedback for Sleekit Beasties. The band played at my brothers wedding a few years ago and we knew we needed them at our wedding! They kept the dance floor full all night with their enthusiasm, amazing vocals and fantastic instruments. They took the time to explain all ceilidh dances to Welsh and English family members. Everyone commented on how amazing they were and they loved the twist with the modern music being played during a ceilidh dance. The band went above and beyond the whole evening - We missed a certain song due to getting our photographs taken and the band played it again for us. We had a family members birthday at midnight - the band started singing happy birthday. We also received a recording of our first dance a month before the wedding - it is special to have this and listen to it again. We will forever be grateful to the band for making our wedding so memorable and special! Thank you!

Holly Breslin-Strain, Bishopton

Grangehouse manor hotel , 24-Mar-22

Ardoe House Hotel , 08-Feb-20

We were delighted that we chose The Sleekit Beasties to play at our wedding reception! The band members were very responsive to our emails before the event - answering any questions we had promptly. The band members were all very friendly and helpful on the night. They made a great job of playing what we wanted for our first dance. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed listening to the band and some especially liked the celidih and modern mix. We would have no hesitations in recommending The Sleekit Beasties. They were brilliant!

The Byre Inchyra, 14-Dec-19

The Sleekit Beasties were unbelievable! Not only are they incredibly helpful, friendly and talented people but they absolutely rocked our wedding! The music and vibe was absolutely perfect, they just got the feel of the guests and the party and we didn't leave the dance floor all night. We've had so many compliments about them. We also had a few of ceilidh novices at the wedding but the way the band explained the dances was brilliant. I can't speak highly enough of The Sleekit Beasties!

Gemma Balmer, Perth

AMAZING!! I know we are biased but the best wedding band we have seen. They played our first dance and it was a special request - one they had not done before - and they nailed it. A great mix of ceilidh/covers and kept us all entertained all night. Thank you so much for making our special day.

Gregor Morris, St Andrews

Fingask Castle, 12-Oct-19

The Sleekits are amazing! From meeting them at a showcase to their performance on the night of our wedding they were just an excellent group of human beings! They learned one of our favourite songs and we're happy to accommodate our likes (and dislikes!) for the playlist. Their ability to read the room meant the floor was always full of dance moves and laughter. We had a big group of first time ceilidh-ers and the band were brilliant at getting everyone involved with hilarious results. Their unique mash ups and excellent banter had all of guests singing their praises. Can not recommend them highly enough - we'd get married again just to have the play the party! Thank you Sleekit Beasties!

Fiona Groves, Between Perth and Dundee!

Principal Hotel George Street, 07-Sep-19

The Sleekit Beasties were unbelievable - fully exceeded all expectations, and our guests commented on how great the music was and the level of high energy in the room. The dance floor was never empty and was a perfect mix of ceilidh music and cover songs and they were brilliant in reading the room on this. 10/10 - would book them a thousand times over.

Clare Burberry, George St, Edinburgh

Dalmahoy , 22-Jun-19

The Sleekit Beasties are without a doubt an amazing band. All of our guests commented on how fantastic the music was, and everyone enjoyed the ceilidh - they all said it was so much fun and the dances were well explained and easy to follow. I really loved that the ceilidh songs were mashed up with other music - such a brilliant way to keep people dancing and so seamlessly done. Communication was brilliant and our first dance was performed perfectly. All together, The Sleekit Beasties were the best band we could have hoped for for our wedding - thank you so much, love Emma and Liam Hearse.

Emma Dunsmore, Kirknewton, Edinburgh

Dalmeny Park Country House Hotel, 28-Jun-19

Sleekit Beasties were amazing and made our night so fun. They played a great version of our first dance song and sent us a recording of it, which got us really excited. The dance floor was full all night and guests commented on what a great band they were. They played a variety of songs and were very accommodating of our song requests. The ceilidh sections were fantastic as they explained the dances really well, slowed down and picked up the pace when needed and added in some pop song remixes. They made our night special and we would definitely recommend them.

Amy Junner, Lochlibo Road, Barrhead, G78

Blair castle, 20-Apr-19

The Sleekit Beasties played at our wedding on Easter Saturday at Blair Castle. We chose them from you tube videos as we’re from out of town! We were not disappointed!!! From the start communication was great and reassured us. They started on time and played our request amazingly! The dance floor was full all night, vocals were amazing and had none stop praise from all our guests- what more could you want from a band! Thanks again guys love Mr and Mrs Robinson x

Craig Martin, Loch Lomond

EICC, 24-Jan-19

The Sleekit Beasties were fantastic. I was happy with the level of contact and their quick responses to emails before their performance and they were professional, timely and fun to work with on the day. The audience thought they were fantastic and we've had brilliant feedback from our guests. With over 2000 students in attendance and after a long adrenaline-filled evening of awards, the Sleekit Beasties managed to read the room perfectly, and fill the dancefloor for the whole night, with lots of requests for a much larger floor next year! I would definitely recommend to any of event management contacts and I personally will look to book the Sleekit Beasties again.

Bethany Lawrie, Edinburgh

brig o doon, 16-Nov-18

The sleekit beasties were amazing. They communicated very well with us and listened to our requests on music. On the night they had the dance floor full the whole night and were great entertainers. The ceilidh was the best part of the night! Exactly what we wanted in a wedding band.

Kerry McConnell, High Maybole Rd, Alloway, Ayr KA7 4PQ

Melville Castle, 27-Sep-18

Fantastic from we booked. Sleekit beasties played at our wedding in September and I would 100 percent recommend them again. From day one Sam was in touch to plan everything, and ever so patient with me and so accommodating with requests that I made. As for the music it was 10/10 all night - almost six weeks later and guests are still coming to me and coming on how great they were. A good range of music was played - a little something for everyone. The band seemed to be relaxed and enjoying it themselves!

Alannna Garrett, Dalkeith

Brig o doon hotel, 28-Sep-18

Amazing band. Received numerous positive comments from friends and family on how good the band are. They look the part, enjoy the day as much as your guests and play hit after hit all night long. Dance floor was full the whole night! Thoroughly pleased with there performance!

Ross Currie, Ayrshire

West brewery, 13-Oct-18

The Sleekit Beasties are unquestionably the best band I've ever seen at a wedding. They communicated with us easily and regularly (they were clearly more organised than we were!) and were easily able to accommodate our few requests. On the day, the band were also fantastic. They set up quickly, took the time to meet and discuss matters with us and then the absolutely smashed the roof off the place. Seriously, we couldn't have asked for a better band. They pitched between covers and ceilidh perfectly for the night. They called the ceilidh dances clearly and easily, even getting on the floor to demonstrate. Their energy was incredible and we've had no end of compliments for the band from our guests. We're incredibly grateful and so, so happy that they were able to perform for us on our wedding day. I'd have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone in future.

Hannes Neugebauer, Glasgow Green

Maryculter house hotel, 22-Sep-18

Brilliant! Did everything we wanted and more! Played to the crowd perfectly and the dance floor was full all night. We saw them play at a friends wedding and chose them because of that. We’ve also had several comments from friends about how good they were.

Kevin Anderson , Aberdeenshire

The Scores, 01-Sep-18

Brilliant band. The music was fantastic on the night and the mash up of pop songs into ceilidh dances was excellent. Everyone on the night loved the band and their ceilidh dances in particular were getting compliments from all the guests on the night. Would highly recommend and a few people were asking who the band were and how to book them.

Michael Ritchie, St Andrews

Colstoun House, 18-Aug-18

Absolutely brilliant. Everyone was up dancing all night. Good amount of ceilidh songs, all well called and everyone was joining in. We requested a song for our first dance which they learnt. It was all just perfect. Thanks so much!!

David Treagus, Haddington

Balbirnie House Hotel, 27-Aug-18

Best wedding band i've ever heard!!!! They nailed our first dance to perfection, the ceilidh was amazing, everyone at the 120+ event had nothing but great things to say about the band.

Western House Hotel, Ayr, 06-Jul-18

The Sleekit Beasties were totally fantastic and I was so happy that we had them at our wedding. They were extremely friendly and easy to communicate with before the wedding. They also learned our first dance song for us and totally nailed it. Most of our guests weren't from Scotland but the band were super at teaching people how to ceilidh dance and everybody had a great time. We loved their setlist and the dancefloor was full. We had been finding it difficult to find a band that did modern covers as well as being a proper ceilidh band (not just playing recorded ceilidh music). The Sleekit Beasties ticked both boxes and were amazing. Their enthusiasm, passion and talent created a great atmosphere and I would strongly recommend them.

Anna Kordeczka, Ayr, Scotland

House for an Art Lover, 22-Jun-18

The Sleekit Beasties were an awesome choice; they sounded great, looked the part, and were actively involved with the people dancing while keeping the focus on the bride and groom when necessary. Their assistance in calling the ceilidh was great, and much appreciated by the many guests from overseas. We would recommend them (and already have) to anyone.

Ian Thomson, Glasgow, Scotland

Lochside House Hotel, 05-Jul-18

The Sleekit Beasties were amazing. They kept in contact well in the build up to our big day and answered all our questions quickly. On the night they were fantastic. The dance floor was never empty and played a great variety of songs. They called all the ceilidh songs well to make sure everyone understood the dances. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the band were and we are still smiling from our perfect day topped off with the Sleekit Beasties.

Jamie McCutcheon, Ayrshire

Manderson House, 30-Jun-18

Lodge on the Loch , 02-Jun-18

They are a great band my whole wedding party kept commenting how good they were they sound fab and keep you entertained the whole night that you want to get up and dance to them. I really hope to see them play again. Don’t ever change you guys are great. Mr&Mrs Robertson 2nd June 2018 Loch Lomond.

Balbirnie House , 11-May-18

The band were amazing! Before the wedding I was in contact with Sam from band who was very helpful and easy to get in touch with. On the night I couldn’t fault them they doubled checked everything on the night with how we wanted the first dances to go and made sure everything was right before starting. The music they played was perfect and they were very helpful in instructing people in how to do the cèilidh dances. Ever since the wedding everyone has commented on how impressed they were with the band and I could recommend them enough for any one else’s wedding or event. Thank you!

Victoria Camus, Kirknewton

Edinburgh, 20-Apr-18

This is the second time we have hired Sleekit Beasties to perform for us at our charity ball. We were very happy with the performance this year, especially the celildh! The band managed to lead the celildh with it being slightly challenging as a lot of guests were newbies to some of the dances. Sam was easy and fast to communicate with prior to the event. Would not hesitate to book the band again and recommend to friends and family for events/ weddings. Thanks again guys!

Beatrice Reid, Edinburgh

Maryculter House Hotel, 31-Mar-18

We are so glad we booked The Sleekit Beasties to play at our wedding. We had so much fun and all of our guests were commenting on how fantastic the band were! They certainly made the evening what it was & kept the dance floor busy. Sam was great and so easy to communicate with in the lead up to the wedding. The variety and combination of music/songs played was great - our guests of all ages were up on the dance floor. And we absolutely loved the ceilidh music and how they incorporate modern songs into the traditional dancing.

Erin Ritchie, South Deeside Road, Kirkton of Maryculter, Aberdee

Rufflets, 02-Dec-17

The Skeekit Beasties performed at our wedding in December 2017. They were so easy to deal with and a fantastic group who despite giving 110% also spent time talking to us and had obviously given our requests some thought before hand. There Scottish country dancing with a twist was phenomenal and everyone won’t stop talking about it. Thankyou for Making our wedding you made it such an amazing day!

they were professional and friendly. All our delegates loved having the band playing at the social event, it really helped to provide the party atmosphere. Sam was quick to communicate and very helpful when announcing our Executives to the stage which was great. Would definitely recommend to others.

The Sleekit Beasties played our wedding on the 17th of October 2017 and were a fantastic wedding band. Right from the word go they were in regular communication with us and answered any questions that we had on the build up to the big day. We also requested an unusual first dance which they were more than happy to accommodate for us. They had the guests up and dancing all night and all guests were commenting on how great the songs were and the ceilidh was. We would definitely recommend the sleekit beasties to anyone looking to hire them for their event. Thanks again guys! From Jack McTurk & Kayleigh Anderson

Amazing on the night and got everybody up and dancing. Everyone who was there commented on how brilliant they were, thank you so much! Couldn't recommend highly enough!

We love the Sleekit Beasties! The music was amazing, not only do they have a great taste in music, they can play too! Their craic with our guests was funny and kept everyone involved and their calling for the ceilidhs made sure everyone could join in, the english contingent in particular appreciated this. Sam's communication in the run up to the day was perfect and ensured we got everything we wanted. Thank you so much for making our day.

The Sleekit beasties were fantastic. We booked them online for our wedding at Archerfield House and hoped for the best - we didn't really know what to expect. They completely surpassed our expectations - they were brilliant. Really friendly, prompt and professional. We had so many complements - all our guests loved them. We would 100% recommend.

Thank you so much the sleekit beasties. You absolutely made our wedding reception! We had the best night and so did all our guests. We appreciated the ceilidh caller, particularly coming into the dance floor. We loved the variety of tunes played, covers as well as ceilidh. We will definitely be recommending you to friends.

We absolutely loved the sleekit beasties, from day one they've been very responsive and helpful. Not only that but they were incredible on the day, we really couldn't have asked for a more amazing wedding band and can't recommend them enough.

Fantastic energy and brought a real party atmosphere getting everyone up dancing. Great mix of music with some ceilidh blended through which everyone loved, and the caller was able to teach the steps well too. The band were able to accommodate a last minute change in our first dance too which was fantastic. Will definitely recommend them to others as a wedding band, or for any other party they'd be great too! Thanks to you all for making our wedding reception so great.

Comrie Croft, 22-Apr-17

Sleekit Beasties were very professional and created a fantastic atmosphere at our wedding. They did a great job of "calling" the Ceilidh dances and had a good awareness as to when to mix this in with their own repertoire. We were really happy with their rendition of our first dance song and their communication was brilliant in the lead up to the wedding.

Stephanie Millar, Comrie, Perthshire

Carnbooth House Hotel, 19-Mar-17

The Sleekit Beasties were fantastic and judged the mixture of covers and ceilidh perfectly! We had a brilliant night and got lots of comments from our guests on how great the band were. Would definitely recommend them to others. Sam playing the harp earlier in the day was also brilliant, just what we wanted :)

The band were amazing, they turned up promptly and set up with no issues. The music itself was fantastic, the choice of songs and the quality was brilliant. We loved the ceilidh dancing, and thanks to a very patient caller we didn't get too much wrong. I am so glad we chose the Sleekit Beasties, they definitely made the night and everyone has since commented how fantastic they were.

Amazing band, amazing music. So easy to communicate with to organise the details such as first song and times and locations. Everybody was raving about how good the band were for my wedding and we could not have asked for anything better as I'm pretty sure that would be impossible. Cant thank them enough.

Traquair Village Hall, 04-Jun-16

The Sleekit Beasties were incredible. The band were very professional and helpful in the lead up to and on our wedding day and their music and performance was fantastic on the night. It is without word of a lie when I say that nearly every single person at our wedding has commented on how great they were and asked how we found them. Their music was diverse and so fun. I loved how they added a modern twist to the ceilidh dances and they got the balance between ceilidh, and the old and new songs just right. Everyone was up dancing all night at our wedding, which is exactly what we wanted and this was definitely in part down to how good the Sleekit Beasties were! One of my favorite moments of the night was when they were singing Mumford and Sons, the lead singer had his sun glasses on, as the sun was beaming into the hall, the band were having fun and everyone was dancing like crazy; it was just amazing! I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get their guests up dancing for the night!

'The Sleakit Beasties were absolutely brilliant! They played our wedding in Lincoln and managed to get everyone up dancing for the whole night, including the Ceilidh set and despite half of the guests having never done a ceilidh before. They played a mix of songs throughout the night and kept the dance floor packed until they finished! They were also great before the wedding and we highly recommend them!'

The Sleekit Beasties were outstanding! All of our guests loved them too, and everyone we speak to tells us how much they enjoyed both the ceilidh and songs. The choices of music suited everyone perfectly and the band judged the crowd very well. The dance floor was never empty and the talent, the quality of the music and interaction with everyone was incredible. Thank you so much for making our wedding that wee bit more special!

House of Dun, 15-Aug-15

The sleekit beasties were AMAZING! They were great to deal with before the event – responded to all of my neurotic bride emails quickly and in a professional and friendly manner. On the day, they arrived in plenty of time and got themselves set up without any fuss (even although the stage was tiny…). Their rendition of the Beatles ‘Here Comes the Sun’ for our first dance is one of my favourite wedding memories. They managed to keep the dance floor full all night – playing the perfect mixture of ceilidh and covers – their energy was infectious! They also managed to get loads of our friends who ‘don’t do dancing’ up for a boogie – I think it’s safe to say that they were a massive hit! Can’t recommend them highly enough. Just Amazing.
