The Scoundrels

Hireaband was such an easy way to book the Scoundrels for our wedding. From start to finish, communication was great and we didn’t have to worry about anything. This was the third family wedding the Scoundrels have performed for and they just get better and better! Gerry has such an amazing stage presence and has a way of getting the crowd going. The ceilidh dancing was amazing and they did all of our requests! Our first dance was quite a tricky song but they managed it so well and we were delighted. Thanks so much!

An amazing band, perfect for our wedding. Thank you SO much.

The Scoundrels were absolutely exceptional at our wedding in June this year. Honestly, we could not have asked for a better band to provide the soundtrack to our special day.
Hireaband put us in touch with Gerry, from the Scoundrels, about a month out from the wedding and their communication was superb from day one. From helping us choose our first dance song, to keeping us in the loop regarding the set up for the day itself. We had an idea of the dance we wanted to have as our first dance song but we'd told the guys that dancing in front of lots of people was our worst nightmare and Gerry came up with a fantastic to make the song more upbeat and, honestly, it was the best version of the tune we've ever heard. All of the guys were dressed incredibly smartly and just having them there added to the wedding big time.
It's no exaggeration to say that pretty much all of our guests have told us that The Scoundrels were the best band they have ever heard at a wedding and we couldn't agree more. I wish I had the words to properly sum up how good they were but it is impossible to put into words. All I can do is to implore you to book them for your big day - you absolutely won't regret it!

Using the Hireaband website and booking the band was a really easy process! The band were amazing on the night! They created such a great atmosphere - we loved them from the first time we heard them! We would absolutely recommend The Scoundrels to anyone looking to book a band for their event!

Hireaband were excellent from first contact, very communicative right up until the first day.
Our entertainers, The Scoundrels were absolutely fantastic- the dance floor was packed from song 1 right up until “one more tune”. Both my wife and I and all our guests were blown away and we would not hesitate recommending booking The Scoundrels for your wedding - just do it, you won’t regret it!

They did fab, Gerry and the team were amazing, even after I accidentally gave them the wrong first song! Apparently our guests all thought it was part of a 'bit' and they even did the song we wanted live again.

We are so glad that we booked the Scoundrels, they were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for us!! The dancefloor was buzzing all night and everyone commented on how great they were. Gerry and the band are all extremely talented and we were honoured to have them play for us at our wedding. Do not hesitate to book The Scoundrels!!

Hireaband were so helpful and super professional. Always responsive and really friendly. A perfect service to offer peace of mind when booking a totally unknown band for a wedding. It could be a scary process but Hireaband made it so easy.

Now - on to The Scoundrels... we needn't have been worried or concerned about booking an unknown band for our wedding as they were absolutely phenomenal! Really sound and had the dancefloor rocking all night. They even stayed for a beer and a dance after midnight as the disco kicked in. Top lads and would definitely book them again for another event.

We had the best evening and I'm glad you boys were a part of it, everyone absolutely loved your band and I'm delighted you were able to help us celebrate.

Thank you again for soundtracking what was genuinely the best night of my life, means the absolute world to us both! Hope you all enjoyed yourselves too.

Warmest wishes,
Gav & Katy

Just wanted to send you all a message to say a massive thank you for playing our wedding at the weekend. We had the best time! Especially Lisa-Marie who couldn't get off the dance floor, apologies for the shocking dance moves! The ceilidh dancing was again a bit shocking but most importantly a good laugh!

All of our guests commented on how brillaint you were. Most said one of the best bands they've ever heard at a wedding! Quite a few are hoping to book you for events.

Again, thank you so much for making our wedding a class night.

Can’t thank Hire a Band enough for making the booking process so, constantly keeping me up which was so needed whilst planning my big day.

The Scoundrels were unreal and both my husband and I would like to thank you so much! Even an encore from the guests was testament to this. Big shout out to Gerry who is an amazing front man and the other guys were also brilliant and amazing musicians, absolutely smashed it at Cameron House on the bonnie banks!!

Smashed it out the park!

The Scoundrels where incredible from start to finish, the dance floor was full the whole night, so many compliments from our guests. Even with their packed schedule the boys put on such a good show, wish we could do it all again! Cheers Lads x

Stephen & Laura

Wow. I was so excited for the Scoundrels to play at our wedding and they certainly did not disappoint. They are all such lovely lads and the dance floor was full the whole night (don’t think I left it once!). I honestly did not want them to end. Absolutely loved their choice of songs too. The guests are still commenting on how amazing the band were! I thought it was such a good idea spreading the ceilidh dances out over the night rather than doing them all at once - it meant we could get our breath back! Thank you so much once again! I’ll be checking on upcoming gigs!

I just wanted to say how blown away we were by The Scoundrels. They were absolutely amazing. Our guests have all commented on how good the band are. My friends even want to book them for their wedding next year.

Gerry and the guys had everyone up dancing and put on a fantastic show. They were so interactive with the guests but it was when they they played the Scottish dances that it gave the night a whole new twist. The guests absolutely loved it which was great given you dealing with a crowd of Northern English folk!

We are so appreciative that they travelled over 200 miles to play for us. We cannot recommend them enough to anybody who wants a band that goes above and beyond to make your wedding extra special.

Gerry and the guys put on a fantastic show. We had a great time at our wedding and all our guests loved dancing to both their awesome covers and all the ceilidh tunes. We felt very well looked after from the booking process, having to rearrange twice ( thanks Covid) to meeting the guys on the day and would highly recommend the guys to anyone.

Hire band have were always helpful and responded promptly to all queries

The band were fantastic! I would recommended them to anyone planning a wedding soon!

Hire a band staff were amazing with all the postponements and rearranging I am so grateful for that and the Band were out of this world it actually felt like it was our friends playing at our wedding which made it so much more special they make it so personal and really got the crowd going which was amazing! Would recommend them to everyone thanks so much will never get over how Perfect it all was! Love Mr & Mrs Thomson xx

I cannot thank the staff at hireaband and the scoundrels enough. We had our wedding cancelled twice due to covid and we were able to change our date with ease and had great support from both the office staff and the band. On the night of our wedding the band showed up, were professional and really made our night. They really are a bunch of characters and all our guests commented on their performance and how brilliant they are! We wish them all the success in the world. Nadine & Callum.

Gerry and the band were great, all our guests loved them. They were the standouts when choosing a band and did not disappoint. Even though they were slightly more expensive than some of the other options, they were worth every penny and more.

Very helpful leading up to our wedding choosing the first dance and gave a very unique performance of it. Have already and would again recommend for any wedding!

What can we say about The Scoundrels....Amazing wedding band that made our day. We loved the mix of ceilidh and party tunes that ensured a packed dance floor all night. Gerry and band were all so friendly and helped create a great atmosphere. If you’re looking for a top class wedding band then book The Scoundrels.... you’ll be so glad you did

The band were amazing, really friendly and got involved with the crowd. We absolutely loved having them at our wedding and would highly recommend them to anyone else looking for a blast of a party :)

The Scoundrels were so good from start to finish, they provided us with the perfect soundtrack to our wedding reception. Every single one of our guests were very complimentary of the band and how good they were. They gave us everything that were wanting from a band and made it a night too remember. I would Highly recommend The Scoundrels to anyone else in the future. We asked for a ceilidh section and it did not disappoint they had everyone on their feet. They way they ended our night was completely unexpected and truly made our night.

The Scoundrels were amazing, I’ve never known a band to get so many compliments from guests! They were so up for a laugh and really seemed to enjoy themselves.

From the moment we found these guys we couldnt stop listening to them. Had so many positive comments from our wedding guests and the dancefloor was never empty. We wish these boys loads of luck for their future they are going to go far. Cant wait to catch you again.

The Scoundrels were the perfect band for our wedding!
They got the party going and all of our guests commented on how good they were live! Even through a few technical glitches, through no fault of their own, they did everything they could to keep the atmosphere up and everyone dancing!

10/10 would recommend

We originally booked The Scoundrels when we got engaged in 2019. Due to covid we had to postpone the wedding but the whole experience with the band and Hireaband made it so easy and they were so understanding and accommodating! On the lead up to the wedding, Gerry was brilliant at getting in touch, asking for a few songs to gauge our vibe and also it was no trouble for them to learn our first dance song.

Skip to the actual night and the setup was flawless. They did it around our guests and we hardly noticed. The lighting was an added bonus! The dance floor was full the whole night - so much variety and they kept everyone dancing right until their last song. Gerry was brilliant at talking our guests through the ceilidh dances and organising the dances. Everyone has raved about The Scoundrels to us since the wedding - we knew as soon as we heard them that they were the band for us!

BEST WEDDING BAND EVER
Genuinely we were absolutely blown away by how good Scoundrels were. They had the dance floor jumping all night which was exactly what we wanted. Since the big day we have had so many messages from our guests telling us that they were the best band they've ever seen at a wedding. Cannot thank Gerry and the boys enough for giving us the best night. So, so good!

All at Hireaband made the process of booking The Scoundrels and keeping in touch very easy. The band themselves were absolutely brilliant and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

We will certainly look out for Gerry and the guys playing again and hope to see them soon!

Excellent service from Hireaband.

The Scoundrels were absolutely out of this world. We can’t thank Gerry and the guys enough. They were everything we wanted for our wedding entertainment and more.

The Scoundrels were amazing live entertainment for our wedding. Their unique sound had all of our guests astounded, everybody keeps commenting on how good they were! They played our first dance song and did their best to play all of our requests, including 'Rattlin Bog' which is a strong favourite of my husbands! I can't recommend them enough. Thank you all for playing at our wedding! I'll keep you at the top of my list for any future parties and events I plan! Hireaband were so easy to book through and were quick and helpful to respond to any of my queries.

The Scoundrels were EPIC

Hireaband were very accomodating through difficult circumstances. Despite 4 date changes and a change of band, Gaye and her team made us feel secure and informed at every step.

The Scoundrels were phenomenal! They were punctual, professional, extremely talented and very friendly. They accommodated all our changes and requests and delivered a night we won't forget. All our guests commented on how good The Scoundrels were. Would 100% book them again and visit their gigs in the future!

Just a small note to say that we had a great night on Saturday. The band were class from start to end, we defiantly get that choice right!

It took us a while but we eventually got the evening reception that we wanted. We are truly grateful in you helping us with the many changes we faced over the past couple of years. Hopefully the strains experienced over the past year and a half for you are returning to many happy couples eventually getting the evenings they wish for!

Thanks Again!

The Scoundrels were amazing! We had so many comments about how good the band were and they had everyone up and dancing the whole night. We loved the variety of music provided.
They also went above and beyond to provide a service after a late emergency within the band, which they resolved quickly.
Overall they provided a great soundtrack to a great night and we would recommend them to anyone!

We had an initial wedding date for June last year and Hireaband have been fantastic, accommodating our 3 cancellation due to the pandemic. Our initial choice of band had to change and my goodness what a result, The Scoundrels were out of this world in every department, the dance floor was never empty. From the old and the young, came the same cry, the best wedding band they have ever heard. There's not enough superlatives to use.
If you have any doubt, don't have, book them NOW.

We wanted to say a huge thank you to The Scoundrels!

They were honestly incredible from start to finish and we had comments from the guests all night of how great they were!

Thank you again,

Mr and Mrs Steele

The Scoundrels were absolutely amazing at our wedding at Carlowrie Castle. Couldn’t have asked for better performers. They performed their own take on our first dance song and it was perfect. Can’t thank them enough, the guests also thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Thanks so much guys.

Last year, we had the privilege of managing the second stage at the Millport Country Music Festival. One of the headline bands was one of the most professional function bands that I have met in my long career - The Scoundrels.

From arriving early (in matching gear) for sound checking, to delivering a storming performance - they were absolute professionals and a joy to work with! They were a tough act to follow though!

Choose your wedding performers with care - and if you are in Scotland, choose these guys!

Just to say a huge thanks for Saturday night, you guys were unbelievable, absolutely loved every minute of the set, something for everyone from Johnny Cash to Faithless!

Amazing feedback too everyone asking who the band were, even the hotel and hotel staff!

And thanks again for letting my sister and cousin do the song in the interval and wee Chester to do the pipes with you at midnight it was awesome. And my wee impromptu burst of song at the end of the night!

Thanks again, you guys really made the night!!

The band were amazing. Made the wedding so Scottish. Ceilidh dances were fab. 10/10

The Scoundrels… absolutely awesome! This band made our wedding, the best decision we could have made! A mix of traditional and modern music with a Celtic edge.

Playing recognisable songs in a Celtic way... this was great as many of our guests were from the South so they could enjoy the Scottish theme while knowing many of the songs. They also played some traditional songs that went down an absolute storm.

The ceilidh was a great addition and really good way of adding something different to the evening. It wasn’t too serious and the guys organised it really well so everyone could join in. They managed the tempo of the evening really well, moving from the slow 1st dance to full-on party time to get things going.

The guys worked hard all night and kept the dance floor busy all evening, they even got the guests involved, creating our own little band (No hope). We loved the fact they didn’t take themselves too seriously and wanted to keep us entertained, at one point Gerry the lead singer came out to the garden to get people back onto the dance floor, the guests were happy to oblige!

Having spent the last 2 years attending weddings with many of our friends I can honestly say these were the best band we have seen, these were also the words of our guests and not just Hannah and I, as we might be slightly biased.

We couldn’t have asked for more from the Scoundrels, the band evening makes or breaks a wedding and these guys certainly made our wedding day for us.

We will be seeing them again at some point as people are asking me for their details to bring them down South!

We just wanted to thank you again for playing at our wedding, the music was outstanding and the setlist was great!

The cover of tougher than the rest was amazing! Everyone loved you guys and we have heard people say one of the best bands they have seen at a wedding. You were great at getting people up and dancing and Blair was a fab caller for the ceilidh dances, so much fun!

We hope to see you perform again at some point

Absolutely amazing! You made our day thank you so much!!! Everyone was raving about you guys and Discoland was special to say the least. Learning to play Indian Summer for our first dance was fantastic and you did it more than justice. We couldn’t be happier with you honestly it was a belter everyone has mentioned how good you were ESPECIALLY when the generator ran out and you did an intimate impromptu set on the middle tables. We definitely will be seeing you again

Once again, thank you so much for playing at our wedding! We loved every minute of it. Thanks to you guys and all our guest were raving about your music! What an atmosphere you created! I highly recommend to anyone looking for something a bit different for their big day! Thank you so much!

I just wanted to take this time to thank you and the rest of the band for the wonderful set you played at our wedding last week.
The music was truly amazing and we loved listening to you.
We have heard rave reviews about you from our guests who loved it every bit as much as we did! I can't remember a song that didn't have the dance floor rocking!
Add the music to your willingness to listen and perform any requests plus the fact you are all-round nice guys means I would thoroughly recommend The Scoundrels to anyone who wants a lively and excellent band for their big day. Thanks again, lads!

I found both The Scoundrels and Hireaband so professional and easy to work with as they got back to me very quickly and nothing was too much hassle. On the night, the band were fantastic, the dance floor was never emptied and they created such a good atmosphere for our wedding.

An amazing band! So glad we found them. Even in such short notice, they played our first dance song as requested and it was perfect. Thank you very much!

Absolutely delighted when we found out that The Scoundrels were available for our wedding at Kincraig Castle House hotel last Saturday, and man they didn’t disappoint! We had an absolutely amazing time and our day was made even more special by the band who delivered a brilliant performance.
So receptive to our track list and they even learned our first dance so that we could have it performed live.
Very talented musicians and every one of our guests loved them and were on the dance floor all night.
If you're looking for a wedding band with an amazing sound- This is it!!!
Thanks again Gerry and the band we’d love to book you guys again in the future.

We got married on Saturday and we chose the Scoundrels as our wedding band. In the lead up to the wedding, Gerry was easy to get in touch with and very accommodating. On the night, the band were absolutely fantastic- everyone is still talking about what a great job they did. They are professional, fun and very talented; three things that don’t come together very often in life

The band were amazing and were very professional. The whole evening was fantastic, playing a very good range of music. I would just like to say a very big thank you to Gerry and the rest of the band and would definitely book you again (if you will have us!). Thank so much once again for contributing to a special night for William's 60th.

I would like to say that the Scoundrels were perfect for the party on Sat 13th Oct 2018. They arrived in plenty of time and had setup and sound checked for the first guests arriving. They were happy accommodating our timings with the surprise and were the perfect party hosts with good rapport and chat with the guests.

Their music was fantastic and sounded excellent, many of the guests made comment on this. They played the requested songs as well as some more up to date covers and had the dance floor filled right to the last song. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Scoundrels for any occasion and will definitely keep them in mind for any future parties.

Please pass on my regards to the band and thanks to all the team at hireaband.

Kind regards
Tony

We hired The Scoundrels for a corporate function in march this year 2018,

We found the band to be good value for money in a few instances, Music range was great and played to the crowd. Requests were taken and every instruction was followed and carried out by Gerry. As you can imagine there is a lot of goings on and starting and stopping which goes on but nothing was any trouble.

Gerry even carried on throughout the night (we had booked out a whole hotel) playing in the bar until the last man was standing which for me is great customer care and ensuring that it was a night to remember.

I would highly recommend The Scoundrels to any event and would hire them again in a heartbeat as all my colleagues loved it. So if you are thinking of hiring them it’s a no brainer
