Testimonials

25th Wedding AnniversaryWonderful evening, that went all too quickly. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Can highly recommend this band!
Birthday party"This band played at my mother's 70th birthday party. They were excellent! Really accommodating, enthusiastic and friendly. Nearly everyone got up and had a dance, and had great fun (even the self-proclaimed non-dancers). I couldn't recommend them more."
Nature reserve open day"Your music was excellent and appropriate, it was not too loud so everyone could hold a conversation and be heard. Well done the RJ Band."
100 year celebration“The RJ Ceilidh Band were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Attentive and professional, I would not hesitate in recommending them.”
Birthday party"RJ were hired to play at my 50th birthday party. After reading many positive reviews from their website, I was really looking forward to an entertaining evening of music, dance and laughter with my friends and family. They didn’t disappoint! Their caller liaised on behalf of the band and kept regular contact, before the event, ensuring he knew exactly how I wanted the evening to pan out. Booking and payment was simple and advice offered to maximise the success of the evening. We had booked the 5 piece Cailidh band, including the caller. The musicians were highly skilled professionals and their choice of music was perfect for the evening. The caller was entertaining and very patient with us dancers, who joined in enthusiastically, if not skilfully! (Let’s face it, going wrong in the dance is half of the fun!) The band played non-stop for one and a half hours, stopped for half an hour for refreshments and then continued for a further hour. It was wonderful to see the enjoyment on everyone’s faces and the atmosphere was full of fun and laughter. The band really made my special birthday an event to remember: they were excellent! If a Ceilidh band is something you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to book The RJ Band; you won’t be disappointed, I promise."
FundraiserJust to say it was nice to meet you last night, albeit briefly. I hope you and your fellow musicians enjoyed playing for us at Westenhanger Castle. We were certainly very grateful to have you. The event was very successful, raising £7,000 in funds towards the opposing the Lorry Park. Thank you so much for your contribution towards that.
