"Tracey and I wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you for the set you played at our wedding last week. We had a great time and I’m only sorry that we started a bit later than planned. I know the guests enjoyed themselves thoroughly and it was a cracking introduction to Scottish culture for our American guests!"

"Every guest commented on how professional, musical and apt the Band were. The variety of tunes played and the dance calling were all the best that they could be. "

"Thank you so much for giving us a truly great night for Lesley and Matt's wedding at Oxenfoord Castle last Saturday. The music just lifted everyone and you worked so hard to make sure the floor was filled all night! We have already had lots of thank you cards from people and they all raved about the ceilidh. Thanks again for a fantastic party - I will recommend you to anyone looking for a great band!"

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the music and the dance tuition. It was fantastic to see the whole unit up on their feet which by the way has never happened before."

"....thank you all very much for playing at my 40th birthday party in Glasgow on Easter Sunday. The music was great, and so was you attitude - I've had lots of glowing comments from friends who were there....."

"Seeking a ceilidh band to perform at The Scottish Bahamian Society's annual ball some years ago, I selected Benachally from the listings just because I grew up in Tayside myself. They came, they played and they conquered our hearts. We love them and have them over annually to play for an eclectic grouping of expatriates from all over the world, as well as for the native Bahamians and nostalgic Scots. They have everybody up on the floor in a heartbeat. And they are fondly remembered by all the school children here in Nassau who have enjoyed the music and the dance of The Benachally Ceilidh Band. A guaranteed great performance every time, no matter how sophisticated or otherwise the occasion! The Benachally Ceilidh Band members are wonderful ambassadors for Scottish culture and the music in particular."

"Just to thank you and all your band members and the disco DJ, for your musical prowess last Saturday, everybody, without exception have been "praising the band", even some Japanese hotel guests ,who hadn't a clue what was going on, loved the music, once again, thank you very much we have all enjoyed and appreciated 'THE BENACHALLY CEILIDH BAND"

"I would like to say a very big thank you very much for making R & A's wedding dance such a terrific success. I've never seen so many people up on a dance floor - young & mature - thoroughly enjoying themselves so much. We appreciated that the caller's contribution was a great bonus."

"We'd like to say thanks for your performance at our wedding in April ........... The guests from Germany and America were delighted to be able to join in the dances thanks to Jake's "special" way of calling. None had danced Scottish country before but they never sat down. The reception was a great success and the guests put it down to the Benachally Ceilidh Band"

"As last year, the band were a major part of the success of the evening in keeping the floor bouncing from start 'til the ring of the bell at the bar. Many thanks for your efforts, it's greatly appreciated by all concerned. You're top of the list for the same event again next year"

"We took some time to pick a band (for our wedding), but when the time came, we couldn't have hoped for any better. You were tremendous!"

"Your ability to encourage even the most reluctant to get up and join in with the dancing (myself included) is a testament to the success of the evening. The whole conference has been declared an overwhelming success and the dinner dance is a major part of the event"

"Thanks very much for helping us make my dad's retirement ceilidh such a great success. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening and I've been asked by a few for your number!"

"Thanks again for a fantastic night. You did a great job - could not have judged the crowd better or played better. Everybody had a ball, from 18 months to grandparents"

"As I'm sure you were aware there were a lot of folk that were not used to Ceilidhs but that didn't stop everyone having an excellent time and perhaps surprising themselves at actually getting up and dancing! - many people said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and much credit has to go to the band and of course Jake Donnelly for his enthusiasm, energy and excellent calls."

"Just got back from our honeymoon and wanted to say thanks for doing our wedding last week. It really was very good, and what surprised me was you had more English people dancing than Scottish. Thanks again, we really appreciated it."
