EXCELLENT Based on 150 reviews Jack RennisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bowreed were fantastic for our wedding celidh. Fred was very accommodating with how we wanted to handle the first dance and post celidh playlists, and the caller was incredibly patient with all of our English attendees! For many of our guests it was their first celidh and they all said what a great time it was. Can't recommend Bowreed enough Hugh DickinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our second Bowreed experience - and well up to standard!

We had Bowreed for our wedding ceilidh and they were amazing, all our our guests loved the ceilidh. It was easy to contact the band leader in the run up to the wedding and he was very helpful with answering our questions and responding to our requests for particular dances. We would definitely hire them again if needed for another event and would recommend to friends. Lexie RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked the Bowreed for our Wedding at the Lost Village of Dode and it was a magical experience. Fred was really helpful and responsive with the booking and arrangements before the big day and Chris and the band were brill on the day, setting up and playing in the tight but amazing space! The calling, playing, song choices and dances were spot on and perfectly tailored to our guests. We had so many compliments afterwards about how amazing the band were and how much fun the Cèilidh was - it really made our wedding complete. Thanks so much!
