    Testimonials

    "Definitely book these guys! We had them at our parents 50thwedding anniversary for 300 guests ranging from 12 years to 80 years old. We wanted a few traditional sets for Scottish dancing and then to let rip with “fill the dancefloor” rock and roll. Tom and the guys from Dun Reels absolutely knocked the ball out the park. The whole night was a brilliant success and exactly the celebration and memories we were hoping for. Loads of guests have been asking for their contact details since then. If you’re looking for a band…I know the pain/concern to get it right…book Dun Reels, you won’t regret it and it’ll make for the best party any of your guests have been to in years. Cannot recommend them more strongly!"
