"The dance music and songs were great. The caller was perfect"

The band were at the venue in plenty of time (23rd March 2024 Saturday Memorial Community Church, 395 Barking Road, London, E13 8AL) and adjusted to the fact the previous performer was just leaving. The dance music and songs were great. We had lots of people dancing even some who had never seen a ciedlh before. The caller was perfect. She was young, cool, clear and funny. We would definitely have Wraggletaggle again at an event and will recommend them to our friends. Nigel Brook 24th March 2024

"Wraggle taggle are brilliant"

Wraggle taggle are brilliant (24th February 2024 Saturday Rose Lipman Building, 43 De Beauvoir Rd, London N1 5SQ). They can read a room and know when it's time to dance and when it's time just to sing and play. The band have wonderful voices and the caller is clear and friendly and kind. I'd ask them to play again in a heartbeat. Alana Jelinek 27th February 2024

We just wanted to say thank you to you and the band for last Saturday! (30th September 2023 Saturday St Stephens, Pond Street, Hampstead, London, NW3 2PP) Everyone loved the music so much! Apologies for any confusion over your location, it was meant to be inside but it was /such a nice day I think Patrick and Angie directed you outside which worked anyway. I wasn’t sure if you guys had any of the canapés, I did ask them to make sure you had some but I didn’t hear you have a break either so apologies if you didn’t. Absolutely brilliant and such lovely people too. We booked wraggle taggle for our wedding, Mick was responsive, organised and gave us plenty of options regarding instruments, set times etc. On the day the band were brilliant, all the guests loved them, and they were really friendly lovely people. Thank you and all the best! Sophie and Kev Gibbard 6th October 2023

Alex Kenny 16th September 2023

"Everyone really enjoyed it"

Thank you Mick and the Wraggle Taggle band for an excellent Saturday afternoon (22nd July 2023 Saturday Lauderdale House, Waterlow Park, , Highgate Hill, London N6 5HG). Everyone really enjoyed it.

Still we now have all the memories and photos to enjoy. All best wishes to you Janet Boorman 26th July 2023

A brilliant performance by 3 talented musicians and showmen. They made out birthday party go with a swing. Every body was up and dancing, they couldn't help themselves. Wide range of music that got everyone engaged. Highly recommend these guys. Donna and I would like to thank you and the band for a fabulous performance at my birthday party on Saturday (15th April 2023 Redlands Road, Reading, RG1) Everybody enjoyed the music and some have become converts to Irish Trad as a result! The combination of Box, Banjo and Guitar worked very well as did your singing of everybody's favourite sing along songs. I'm sure we will be calling on your services again soon. Best regards, Brendan and Donna Rogers 20th April 2023

 "Hi Mick, Very long overdue but I just wanted to send a message to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding in July (28th July 2022 Thursday Battersea Park - The Bowling Green London SW11 4NJ) It was so much fun and the band were one of our favourite parts. So many of our guests mentioned it was their first ceilidh but that they loved it. Thank you so much!  Wraggle Taggle played at our wedding and were incredible! They played an hour of music during our canapes which got the dancefloor started nice and early! Then after dinner they hosted a ceilidh which was the perfect way to get guests to dance together and everybody had a wonderful time! Mick and the whole band were incredibly talented, friendly and professional. Thank you so much and I would highly recommend hiring them for any events you have!.." Kind regards, Olivia Grace Boyle 21st February 2022

Hi Mick, I just wanted to say a very big thank you to you, Mick, Eugene and Mary (2nd February 2023* Thursday (7 - 11pm)  The Mildmay Club, 33-34 Newington Green, London N16 9PR). You were just great and all my friends and family had a wonderful time. Everyone said how brilliant the music and calling was.

Wraggle Taggle are just brilliant. There were 70 people at my party, only 5 had done ceilidh dancing before, but Mick (guitar and vocals), Mick (banjo), Eugene (accordion) and their wonderful caller Mary got every single person in the room dancing and everyone loved it.

Mick I haven't had a chance personally to thank you and your lovely team, who played for me sat 24 sept at deverve Hotel goodboys Lane reading. There was a big crash on the M4, so I got delayed getting back to hotel also a lot of people were delayed as taxies were called but you played and was very understanding. I loved having a little chat with you all and I wanted to so much to listen to you from start to finish but got called away by photographer. I will certainly book you again. I thought you were all lovely and I loved the music. Take care we will have you all again in the future xxx Anna Shehan 29th September 2022

"Strongly recommend for any occasion!"

We can't say enough good things about Wraggle Taggle! They played an anniversary party ceilidh for us, and the music was fantastic (30th July 2022* Saturday Cecil Sharp House,  2 Regent’s Park Road, London, NW1 7AY). The caller was very good with our group of range of skills and ages, and the kids had a terrific time. They were very flexible on the day (it was warm and people needed a break for cooling off!) and the communication in the lead-up was great. Strongly recommend for any occasion! Kate Rebecca Wallis 8th August 2022

"Every single guest enjoyed the evening"

Hi Wraggle Taggle Just to say a huge and grateful thanks to you all for your performance at our wedding in Suffolk (11th June 2022 Saturday Sapiston, Bury Saint Edmunds, Suffolk, IP31). Every single guest enjoyed the evening, no one more than Bride and Groom! However, what gave us most pleasure was the great fun had by Jo’s Mum, Josephine!! Northern Irish by birth and a seasoned Scottish Dancer as was my late father John. Despite being 85 and living with very painful arthritis, Mum danced to almost every tune and loved every minute of it. Many many thanks to your superb caller Mary for spotting and celebrating Mum’s true soul of conviviality and participation. It was a beautiful evening. Best wishes from Jo Kemp and Paul 27th June 2022

They were brilliant at accepting song requests, and made sure that everyone had a really wonderful evening.  I would highly recommend them. Thank you so much for last night - it was such a fun evening and that was in large part due to your music! It was the perfect accompaniment to the evening and everyone had a really great time. I particularly enjoyed Dirty Old Town and was bopping in the kitchen to it! I hope that you and Mick and Eugene enjoyed yourselves too.  All best, Donna Mc Dowell (Curate - St Paul's Marylebone) 3rd March 2022

We had an amazing evening and people haven't stopped saying how fun it was since the night!

"Can’t wait for the next one!"

Wraggle Taggle came to play at our Barn Dance fundraiser in our local village hall (13th November 2021 Saturday Long Ditton Village Hall, 2 Ewell Rd, Surbiton, Surrey, KT6 5LE). Mick and the band arrived on time and were quickly set up and ready to go with some warm up music while the guests arrived. The music from the band was so catchy that the dance floor was filled all night. Margaret, the caller, did a fantastic job organising all the dancers and patiently coaching everyone through the moves. The whole night was such a joyous occasion with so many happy smiling faces, from the youngest to the oldest. Many of the guests commented on what a wonderful evening it was and how they can’t wait for the next one! Stephanie Nisbet 14th November 2021

The thanks we have recieved from all who attended has been over whelming. Can't find fault. Jo-Anne Eglin 6th November 2021

(2nd September 2021 Thursday Chenies Manor House, Chenies, Buckinghamshire, WD3 6ER) We had a great night, thanks for adding to the craic for the Irish, Indian and English crowds.

"You are all incredibly talented"

Hi Mick Thanks to you and the team for doing a great job at our event on Saturday {16th October 2021 Stanmore Golf Club, 29 Gordon Avenue, Stanmore, Middlesex, HA7 2RL). You are all incredibly talented and helped to create a lovely atmosphere for our guests. I am really touched that you learnt the 'Roads of Kildare' for my Mum and had thoughtfully selected my daughters favourite song for the breaktime music. Very best wishes Debbie Herald 19th October 2021

"Such a sparkling great night"

"All of our guests had a fantastic time"

Afternoon Mick I just wanted to thank you and the band for playing at our wedding (6th August 2021 Friday Pendley Manor, Cow Lane, Tring, Hertfordshire, HP23 5Q). We and all of our guests had a fantastic time ceilidhing! Quite a few had never tried it before either! I'm told that the children also loved dancing along with us too. I'll be sure to recommend you to anyone who is planning their own ceilidh celebration too Best Neil & Emma Adcock 9th August 2021

"We were just thrilled to meet you last night"

"It was a pleasure talking to you last night after Paul and Aneysha's wedding at Chenies Manor House, Buckinghamshire (2nd September 2021 Thursday}

We loved the music and the dancing and wondered if its the same Wraggle Taggle Ceilidh band that played at our wedding over two decades ago!! The date was 23rd September 2000 in Ditchling Town Hall, near Brighton. The wedding party consisted of Scottish and Indian families . . .

The caller was a distinct Scottish man in a kilt and you would be better placed to recognize the musicians on the stage.

You'll be delighted to know that the music is the single thing that our families and friends rave about even today, all these years on. It was quite a sight to see sari clad women and kilted men dancing to Gay Gordons. The music was beautiful.

Wow, we were just thrilled to meet you last night and  wanted to say a big thank you for making our day super special in 2000" Megha Chand & Paul Inglis 3rd September 2021

Wraggle Taggle were Superb! They travelled to Oxfordshire to play at our Covid wedding and made the reception! (5th September 2020 Beevis Farm, Woodstock Road, Charlbury, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, OX7) With limited guests allowed we were worried the day would fade out but Wraggletaggle brought everyone to the dancefloor. Our respective aunt and uncle who had warned they would need to leave after the supper were both glued to the dancefloor! Socially distanced dancing was

order of the day, and a huge thank you to the band! Their  repertoire of songs was unending and we would thoroughly recommend them for your day. They were highly organised, professional and hugely talented. Loved by all ages at our wedding from 30-68! Lucy + Benji 26th October 2020

We had a fantastic time, and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. Your caller (I've forgotten her name) was super patient and clear and you were all very effective at encouraging everyone to fill the dance floor. Apparently, the venue owners had never had a ceilidh before but now thinks they're fantastic. I'm not quite sure how a venue like that has never had a ceilidh before, but hopefully there'll be many more there in the future! Is there anywhere you would like me to post a review online? Or you can take comments from this email if you like. Thanks again"

Again, we received so many compliments on the band" Morgan & Scott Shepard 28th Sept 2017

"Such wonderful musicians"
"Hello Mick and all of the band who attended our wedding at Moreteyne Manor on 09/09/2017!

I'm just so sorry I didn't get the chance to come and thank you personally on the day, it was a bit of a whirlwind - but I have the most beautifully vivid memories of dancing with my uncle in the lounge. Such wonderful musicians and you played a perfect array of songs for us all to enjoy. Paul heard the sea shanty and was very excited, especially when I told him that it was for him. We hope everything went ok for ye too and that you enjoyed the venue. We have had lots of people asking about you so we will be sure to pass on your name and website to them.

"The ceilidh went down like a storm!"
"Hi Mick, Now that we are back from honeymoon we just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for the fantastic ceilidh you ran at our wedding (7th March 2015 Saturday Dodford Manor, Dodford, Northamptonshire, NN7 4SR) and provide some feedback, should it be of use. Firstly, the ceilidh went down like a storm! Everyone we have spoken to since returning from honeymoon has mentioned the ceilidh and stated what tremendous fun it was. Prior to the wedding many of the English side of the family and foreign friends had expressed trepidation about dancing but your explanations and calling throughout the songs had everyone on their feet joining in. Prior to the wedding you got in touch with us asking for any requests and putting our minds at ease when we panicked that we hadn't sorted a 'first dance'. On the night you coached us through an easy waltz which went down reasonably well ... even if the Groom did almost slip over on my dress! We had a fantastic experience and great evening and would definitely recommend Wraggle Taggle to our friends and will re-book you if we organise another ceilidh in the area. Kind regards" Lindsey & Douglas Hogg 6th April 2015

"The band had made the night"

I've spoken to a few slightly groggy colleagues this morning who all told me how much fun they had and their new-found enthusiasm for Ceilidh dancing. We all had a great time and I'd like to thank you for your professionalism and openness when organising the evening with you. Please pass our thanks on to all of Wraggle Taggle. All the best going forward - if we have another Ceilidh dance I'll be sure to get in touch.

As you may have gathered from the enthusiasm (and energy) of some of the younger guests, you certainly had an impact. The power of live music! I'd certainly recommend you to anyone who might ask about a similar occasion. Kind regards" Keith Jones 25th November 2014

"Incredibly talented"
"Hi Mick. We just wanted to say thank you so much for doing such an awesome job at out wedding (7th November 2014 Friday Lismoyne Hotel, 45 Church Rd, Fleet, Hampshire GU51 4NE). It was an amazing evening and so many people commented on how much they enjoyed the music and the dances. You have an excellent and very patient caller, and you are all incredibly talented musicians - we loved every minute. We will definitely be recommending Wraggle Taggle to anyone looking for a ceilidh band :-) Thanks again" Vicky Cobley and Anna Lawton 17th November 2014

"They were marvellous"
"The ceilidh was a great success (31st December 2013 Tuesday Goldsmith's College, Lewisham Way, New Cross, London SE14 6NW) the orchestra really enjoyed themselves! Please pass on my thanks to Wraggle Taggle for all they did - they were marvellous. If our residency is back at Goldsmiths next year, we'd love to have them back, but I'm afraid we don't know what we're doing until the last minute. I'll certainly be back in touch if we need a band for our Spring/Summer residencies though! Thanks again" Ben Salter, Head of Support, National Youth Orchestra 20th January 2014

"We all loved the band"
"Dear Mick, many thanks for Sunday (20th October 2013 (trio) The Provenance, 62 High Street, Colliers Wood, SW19 2BY) and being so flexible. We all loved the band and apologies for such cramped conditions. Best Wishes" The Baroness McDonagh (life peer in the House of Lords) 22nd October 2013
