The House of Lairds

The band were superb both musically and with customer service. We had over 100 people at our party and everyone really enjoyed the band. They were friendly, set up with the minimum of fuss and started on time. I would highly recommend them.

Thank you very much for performing at the Edinburgh University Sports Ball last night. The band were brilliant and the room really enjoyed all covers and ceilidh songs.
Lisa (Hireaband), thank you for all you support in the booking process.

Best Wishes,
Emily

House of Lairds were absolutey fantastic. They led us through the ceilidh dance moves and knew when to play modern tunes to give people a break from ceilidh dancing. They were super friendly and incredibly musically talented - every one of our guests was astounded. We will absolutely book them again in the future - thank you so much all!

What can I say about this band: incredible! They played a mix of ceilidh and pop/crowd pleaser music. They had a great back catalogue and had people up on the dancefloor all night. They were able to accommodate our first dance choice and had everyone singing along too. Our guests were very happy and we had a mix of people who knew how to ceilidh and who this was their first ceilidh and they talked everyone through the dances. Our guests gave us lots of positive feedback about the band and really enjoyed the mix of ceilidh and pop music.

We were so pleased with the House of Lairds and will make sure we get in touch with them as well to express our gratitude.They were on time, self-sufficient, great entertainers, patient Ceilidh teachers and very good at handling a fall on the dance floor. We couldn’t have asked for a better band. And they are lovely people, too!

Gaye (from Hireaband) has been brilliant throughout the whole process and was very astute and engaging every time we phoned.
The band were brilliant, explained to them the situation and they adapted brilliantly. They were a fantastic band live, kept everyone going and when the guests were tired, they did a small acoustic set in the main bar area to keep the guests entertained. Highly recommend them.

The band were excellent on the night. All outlets guests loved them. We requested a couple of songs we really wanted and they happily obliged. We also had a friend sing our first dance and Dave was brilliant in facilitating this. I would definitely recommend House of Lairds as a wedding band!

We booked House of Lairds for our wedding and we were not disappointed. They were great at reading the crowd and inter mixing ceilidh with classic tunes. Everyone had the best time! Thank you for making our big day so special.

We hired house of lairds for our wedding reception. They played a great mix of both traditional ceilidh and contemporary music. Everyone had positive comments about them and they kept the dance floor full all night.

Great band, lots of positive comments on the night. Many thanks.

House of Lairds were absolutely incredible at our wedding last weekend. They took requests and kept the dance floor full all night long. We couldn't have hoped for any more, they were fantastic!

I just wanted to take a moment and send you a note of thanks for the performance that House of Lairds turned in on July 1st at our daughter's wedding. We have all seen bands that simply mail it in and go through their sets as if they just want it to be over with. The energy and enthusiasm that House of Lairds generated at our reception was simply infectious and you ignited the entire crowd into a wonderful frenzy. The Scots, Brits, Irish, Americans and others in our audience had the best time ever and couldn't tell us enough how much they loved your performance. But in addition to showing us that you are world-class entertainers I was also very touched by your humanity. We are an extremely close family so in all candor it is sometimes difficult for me to have my daughter live across the pond where I don't get to visit with her as often as I can with her two sisters who live in the States. Her favorite song is Somewhere Over the Rainbow because it speaks to her in a very real way. We were disappointed when we learned that the band did not have that song on your playlist because we thought that it would make the Father/Daughter dance so incredibly meaningful. One of the greatest surprises of the night was when we realized that you had taken the time to learn the song and played it for us for our dance. You took the time and effort to really emotionally connect with the bride and her father on her special day and we can't thank you enough for that.

We want to say a huge thank you to the House of Lairds for playing at our wedding! Never before have we heard a band with so much energy, enthusiasm, and the ability to keep the dance floor full all evening. We have had so many positive comments from guests on how much they enjoyed the music and for that we are extremely grateful.
Such a pleasant experience and such a wonderful band. The House of Lairds really made our wedding truly special.

The House of Lairds were excellent. They did everything they said they would do. They got people dancing, and we all had a great time. Liaison was fine, and we were really pleased with the evening. We had a fabulous time. The House of Lairds (and Ladies) were ideal for a wedding celebration such as this. Thank you.

Excellent service and band. Hireaband assisted with the selection of the band based on the theme of our night.
I wouldn't hesitate to use Hireaband or The House of Lairds again in the future.

We would like to thank Hireaband and the band itself for having taken part in our special event. Everything went smoothly at a high professional level, the music was perfect, the job was absolutely spot on, we couldn't be happier. Our special thanks for having played the tunes of our native countries!
It was a great pleasure to plan our evening entertainment with you, thank you for your kind attention to our requests.

The House of Lairds were an excellent choice for our wedding. every guest commented. made a special day even more special and had the dance floor rocking all night! Good changes of pace and very pleasant before,during and after.

Fantastic- couldn't have wished for a better band. Very friendly and accommodating. They played an excellent mix of both ceilidh and modern tunes. Brilliant at reading the crowd. The dance floor was full all night and everyone was raving about them. Can't recommend highly enough.

Both the house of Lairds and Hireaband were two excellent organisations to deal with. I would highly recommend both of them to anyone.

Fabulous band! Their choice of music was just right for my event. Dance floor was full most of the night plus they were lovely people to deal with. Would have them back in a second.

The best band I have ever had the pleasure to have met. Everyone at the wedding commented on how brilliant the band were. They interacted with the crowd and let our friend play alone side them. I hope to be able to hire them again in the future.

Just a wee email to thank all you guys very much for a wonderful performance on Saturday at the Station Hotel Ellon on our wedding day. We are very grateful for you all playing a part in our very special day. The reports we have received from our guests has been of the highest order. Your assessment and musical choice was second to none the whole evening from start to finish. Once again we cannot express our gratitude enough for a fantastic evening of all tastes of music.

We were very pleased with all aspects of their performance, arriving punctually, setting up unobtrusively & departing without fuss. They accepted any requests, kept the noise level down & were able to cater extremely well for a very wide age range.

The band were absolutely first class and they had the dance floor going all night. They even let one of the guests do her songs during the interval which was amazing too.Would definitely book them again and recommend them to anyone wanting to put on a top party.

Fantastic! The dance floor was full all night and nearly 2 weeks later people are still commenting how brilliant the band were. My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with The House of Lairds I am so grateful to them for making our wedding extra perfect!
