"We just wanted to say a big thank-you for playing at our wedding. Both out families have never experienced Ceilidh before and were a bit worried, but they were thrilled and thought it was brilliant and even people who never dance at weddings got up there ..." - Claire-Louise & Neil (Statford-on-Avon)

"I just wanted to drop you guys a quick line to thank you for your efforts at our wedding (Loseley Park, 5th April). We had a fantastic time and everybody has commented on how good you were and how much they enjoyed it. It was so great to see everybody getting involved and having fun." - James and Carly Lawrence.

"Thank you for your excellent & professional performance last Saturday. We thought it was great fun, lively, with a fantastic atmosphere and it was so good to see all those people enjoying themselves - I think the only people who didn't join in were those who physically couldn't and they wished they could!" - Liz Brown (Wedding Ceilidh at Chalfont St Peter - January, 2008)

"Just a quick note to let you know how very much we enjoyed your playing at our wedding. To have 200 people dancing away in a marquee in the woods was a realy magical evening. So so many people commented on how much they enjoyed themselves and how much better it was than having a diso! Our Scottish family were impressed by your repertoire of dances and enjoyed the Orcadian strip-the-willow very much! We'll never forget the human arch out of the marquee at the end of the evening. A HUGE THANK YOU!" - Colin + Katherine (Wendover Woods)

"Just a quick note to say a HUGE thank you for providing the ceilidh at our wedding on 21st April. Everyone I have spoken to agreed that it was a fantastic idea, the children had a ball, and the grown-ups all had the best night out in ages!" - Liz + Lee (Ipswich Corn Exchange)

"You were able to get people up and joining in brilliantly. Lots of people said how much they enjoyed it and how good the band was - something we echo too." - Wedding in Sussex.

" Just a quick note to say a big thank you for the band's efforts in making our evening such a memorable event, neither of us have ever seen as many people on the dance floor at a wedding before, you all helped create a day that will be remembered for a long time by us and our guests, many many thanks" - Terry and Helen Skuse (Wedding Ceilidh in Rugby, July 2006)

"We had an absolutely fantastic day and everyone thought the ceilidh was brilliant. We have had so many comments from our guests afterwards saying that they really enjoyed the dancing (they have all said it was so much better than a disco!) and someone even told me today they'd been looking up local ceilidhs on the internet! The amount of people that were dancing was really brilliant- more than I'd hoped seemed to be really getting into it - and it was fun to dance with so many different people." - Cressida (Wedding in Rickmansworth)

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank yourself & the band for the fantastic entertainment at our wedding reception on 1 August.

Everyone had a really great time & it was wonderful seeing all of our family & friends up & dancing. The caller that we had on the evening was absolutely fantastic (especially during the last dance when she jumped in to make up the numbers). A number of our party had never been to a dance of this kind before & because of her were old hands at it by the end of the night & others who have held dances themselves kept telling me how good they felt you were.

If I ever need to book a function again you will be first on my list of people to contact, I will also be recommending you to others." - Sarah Bennett (the bride)

"Thank you all very much for doing such a fabulous job on Friday. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves" - Clare & Bernard (London)

"I would like to write and say thank you to and your band Moondance, for the wonderful evening we had when you played at our wedding on the 14th June at Water End. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and it was a great success for us." - Gemma & Andy (Surrey)

"Just loved the way this band did a 'rolling start' for all the dances (see the video). Never seen a ceilidh caller and band do that before.
It's the way to go - we were all dancing proper before we realised it!!" - Paul Asher (gigsremembered.com, about the Broadstairs FolkWeek LNE)

" I've been wanting to have a really good high-energy ceilidh band at the festival for a number of years now, to remind people how much fun bush dancing can be when done to a rocking band. You certainly filled the bill and I was delighted with the audience response." - Steve Barnes Fairbridge Festival 2008 Artistic Director (Western Australia)

"By far the best GuilFest ever! Musically absolutely brilliant - especially The Australian Pink Floyd. I thought that Farmer Giles' Barn Dance was particularly superb" - Tony Scott (founder of GuilFest) referring to the MoonDance contribution

"Absolutely loved it!!! We poked our heads round the door on the Saturday with no intention of getting involved and before you know it, we were being hurled around in sets. Thanks to everyone who asked me to dance, had a cracking time and hope to see you back next year" - GuilFest 2008 Forum post

"...many thanks to Brian and MoonDance for a spectacular evening" - Peter Crowther (Poynton Ceilidhs)

"I can thoroughly recommend them to English Ceilidh enthusiasts" - Mike Courthold (Dance Director, Chippenham Folk Festival)

"I'm pretty sure we set records last Friday for both the number of dancers who came along ... More importantly, everybody I spoke to enjoyed dancing to Moondance as much as I did. Thanks for a great night, & I daresay we'll be seeing you again." - Chris Broan (Phoenix Ceilidhs, Manchester)

"I think MoonDance were fab last night. A massive thanks to them. Also, Liam Robinson was a superb caller. An utterly memorable evening - thanks guys" - Holly (Hastings) [Hastings Old Town Ceilidhs Guestbook]

"a big exciting sound... electric folk, jazz, ceilidh band and pure rock...all in one number" - Bucks Examiner
