    This is the 3rd time we have had the pleasure of dancing with Dan and the Burdock Band. Firstly at our wedding in 2008, then at our 30th birthdays in 2013 and most recently for our 40th birthdays. They catered excellently for our wide range of family members - 18 months to 80, and made sure everyone could join in if they wanted to. Thank you so very much for making our party so fabulous 😊. See you in 10 years!!

    We booked The Burdock Band for a recent corporate event and they were brilliant from start to finish. Dan got everyone up on their feet and dancing, and led the group with professionalism and humour. The event was thoroughly enjoyed by all and we have no hesitation in recommending the Burdock Band to anyone. Thank you for an excellent evening!

    The Burdock Ceilidh Band are brilliant. They were a massive hit at our Wedding anniversary barn dance bonanza on Saturday and have managed to convince our family and friends that barn dances are the way forward for all parties! A massive thank you to you and your team for managing to entertain and orchestrate such a hefty number of people in one room. We have received so many positive reviews from family member about how much fun they had - it was a real winner!

    Dan and Ellie put on a marvelous Ceilidh for our moms and twin sisters birthday celebration party last week and went down a storm. Everyone had a fantastic evening dancing including the spritley 88 year old. Can't recommend Dan enough

    The BEST part of the evening. So so so glad we booked these guys and gals. 10/10 recommend for great music, performance and fun. They were very patient in directing all of us who didn't have a clue what we were doing.

    Being such an important part of our day, we were a little nervous finding a ceilidh band for our wedding. However, The Burdock Band were fantastic at every point, from initial contact via their website to the actual event. Dan is excellent caller – with great energy, clear instructions, a good sense of humour, and encouragement for those reluctant first timers without being too pushy. The band were also wonderful and we received many comments, even from those guests who did not dance, about the quality of the music (especially the fiddle!). We highly and wholeheartedly recommend The Burdock Band!

    Loved the way Dan got so involved in the dancing. A really great afternoon for all ages. Dan turned up early to make sure the tech worked, he was attentive to all our needs, choosing great songs for us to dance to. Professional and fun!

    We hired The Burdock Band for my husband’s 80th birthday party. They were absolutely fantastic. Mixed age guests were all up and dancing as the music suited all ages. Guests commented what a fabulous choice of band for the occasion and I will certainly choose them again for future celebrations.
