"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding on Saturday. Having a ceilidh at our wedding was so important to us and you guys were incredible!
Lauren was up at almost every call even when the dress was getting in the way.
We just missed your story on Instagram as we were a bit knackered on the Sunday after packing up and didn’t see in time to share!
Everyone was commenting how great you sounded and how much fun they had.
Thanks so much, you wonderful trio!

"You were amazing. Great with assessing everyones energy - it was a warm day and your adjusting how many breaks you did was spot on and gave everyone time to get a breather when needed. You were flexible and able to roll with last minute changes we had to make. You had no issue to move the first dance and do it as our last private dance once we got guests out. It become one of my favourite moments of the wedding. I loved your positive and relaxed attitude, your ability to guide everyone through ceilidh- we had guests from abroad who never done it before and they had a blast. My husband and I loved it too. I was gutted I couldn't do all the dances - the energy you brought with you to every piece was so contagious. I will be recommending you to everyone. You were professional, reliable, had great attitude and delivered above and beyond. Many thanks for making our day as amazing as it was.
"

Exceptional players with a good eye for reading the room knowing when to play interludes to allow for breathers, when to add in a slower dance for the oldies and when to throw in a super fun dance (Canadian barn dance mix up and the sausage machine were a great laugh!). We’ve had so many comments from guests about the high quality of the band, even guests who didn’t dance so much really enjoyed listening to you - so thank you so much! "

"Sultans of Fling were the perfect band to play at my ceilidh. They reached out ahead of the event to introduce themselves, discuss event timings and structure, and provided helpful suggestions about how the night could run. They were also very receptive to ideas I had and were very flexible in providing the requested entertainment. On the night, SoF made sure to keep in contact and confirm if there were any changes to plan, and were very pleasant to work with. Due to delayed guests, they were able to suitably flex the performance times and keep the crowd entertained. The background and ceilidh music they played was of great quality, with all guests enjoying the music. They very helpfully called out the dances, which meant even ceilidh novices were able to join in and have a great time. Big thanks to Sultans of Fling - I could not recommend them more!"

24/6/2022

"Sultans of Fling were amazing - so easy going and a genuine pleasure to have run the Ceilidh and Disco for our wedding. They were quick to respond and easy to chat with in the run up to our event, so we were confident they would do a smashing job. And boy did they deliver! They arrived early, and were set up well on time. The Ceilidh was brilliant, running all of our favourite dances and getting everyone up dancing, with Scott calling all the steps. They even let us use there PA to run a disco playlist for the rest of the evening after the ceilidh - which worked very well. We could not recommend them higher.

The entire Hireaband service was excellent as well, with really clear communication, helping us to find the right band and being available to answer any questions we might have ahead of time.

All the guests raved about the band members and how good they were. Our wedding reception was definitely made extra special by the band. I recommend them enough as a ceilidh band, they are the gold standard. "

21/5/2022

"Just a wee email to thank you for playing for our wedding on Saturday. You were absolutely fantastic.

You pitched everything just right and the walk through the dances for those south of the border and further afield was perfect!

You were easy to chat to and very flexible. And we're very mindful of the fact we needed more rest than usual and played appropriate music.

I would have no hesitation in recommending you to people in the future.

I have had many compliments on the band and how much they enjoyed you.

You were another piece of the wedding jigsaw that made our day truly wonderful.

Many many thanks

The calling was great and the dance floor was never empty - impressive considering lots of our guests had never been to a ceilidh before! Loved their sound and energy. Organising was nice and easy too, much appreciated when you have lots of other things to think about. Having a top notch ceilidh was one of things we'd set our hearts on for our big day and they didn't disappoint, lots of fantastic memories made, wouldn't hesitate to recommend."

"We truly felt that sultans of fling were amazing, they led a great ceilidh and their music was perfection, exactly what we hope for in throwing this sort of event.
The hireaband website was easy to use and good in allowing you to explore the different sounds of bands providing a similar service, in this way we were able to identify that sultans of fling were exactly the band we were looking for.
I would recommend this band for any event, it is the first time I have seen such a large crowd enjoying themselves for quite a long time, and we have sultans of fling to thank for that."

The men were polite and well spoken and it was really helpful to have them talk us through the dances. Even our English guests ended up dancing the Dashing White Sergeant, so I'd call that a success! Thank you and we'd highly recommend the band."

2/4/2018

"When I spoke to the Hireaband Representative (Karen) she was very polite, precise and patient as I asked her questions and then made the booking. As it was my first time planning an event like the ball that I held, she made that portion of the planning painless for me, as did the band themselves, who on the day were informed that our function wouldn't go to there regular schedule, and yet were happy to cooperate and by the end had had everybody up and dancing this contributed greatly to the success of our ball!

"Dear Lisa,
I want to thank you and the team for setting us up with the "Sultans of Fling" for my wife's surprise 50th Birthday bash on Saturday in Blair Drummond.
They were excellent!!!! A great group - cracking music, so enthusiastic, happy to adapt and "go with the flow", and created a great atmosphere from the very start!
If you want anyone to give them a reference - tell people to talk to me - they are just fabulous - so many people at the party praising the band.
So, thank you & thank them!!
We had a great night, and I hope the band did also - they seemed to!
With best wishes and thanks for all your help.

Nigel
