Norloch experience
"Hi Philip,
I just wanted to contact you, and say thanks
for providing the band [Norloch pool Ceilidh Trio
featuring Sheena, Rob and Owen], for
our party last night [19 June 2010].
It went very well, and they were great at
getting people dancing, and helping the 'foreigners'
with the steps.
It was a very enjoyable evening for my 40th
birthday, so I may do it all again for my
80th !
Best Regards"
Graeme Allan
"Thanks to the band for the entertainment
provided at our fundraising ceilidh at the
Edinburgh Corn Exchange on Friday 4th September
2009. With Mike's dance-calling
all dancers were able to perform even the
more complex ones with no major disasters
on the floor! Thanks to Phil for being so
adaptable with the various events we had,
and to all the band for making it a great
night"

"Hello Philip,
This is Heather Clark I booked you last year
[2008] for a 60th birthday party at Newtongrange
Mining Museum which was a fantastic night
and Stuart whose party it was loved every
moment of it especially when he dressed up
as Elvis ..you and the other members of your
band were fantastic with all the special
people who were at the party ..would it be
possible to book you again for a lady we
support who will be 80 in July the date is
Saturday 18th July 2009 and its being held
at St Matthews hall in Rosewell its a bigger
hall but I think the 4 piece would be good
..hope to hear from you soon"
Heather Clark
"This is just a letter to thank you
again for the wonderful input your band had
to my mother’s 80th birthday party
in July [2007]. All our relatives and
friends are still talking about the party
and the fantastic music you provided.
It was so good to have a mixture of ceilidh
and other styles, the band was certainly
very versatile.
We will certainly be in touch, next time,
we want to hire music for any other events
we plan.
Yours sincerely"

"Just a short note to say a very big
thank you for the services of the Norloch
Ceilidh Band, which made our Wedding such
a magical and joyous occasion. So many
people have written & verbally commented
on how wonderful the dancing went & were
so impressed in the professionalism of your
very talented group. Special mention
was made by many about the expertise of the
‘caller’, so please pass on our
gratitude.
Once again our gratitude for helping our
Wedding be so special."

"Many thanks to you & the Norloch
Ceilidh Band for helping to make our daughter’s
Wedding reception so successful on Saturday.
I think the fact that the floor was seldom
empty was proof that everyone was enjoying
the music. I think we could have literally
danced all night!!!"

"I should like to express my thanks
for the splendid Ceilidh you put on for my
daughter’s wedding last Friday. The
music was just wonderful and the evening
was one I shall remember with the greatest
of pleasure. The band was just terrific &
your Caller such an asset. I only hope
I shall be able to enjoy your music again
in the not too distant future [I have a daughter
& a son still to get married] and I shall
certainly give my friends a most glowing
recommendation."

the castle for our golden wedding anniversary."

reception back in August. I wish you
every success in the future."

"I felt I must write and express my
admiration for your wonderful band which
played so well at our Wedding on Monday at
Prestonfield House Hotel. You had gone to
so much trouble to play Israeli music and
to find those two girls was a stroke of genius.
Alison was a terrific compere and I
thought that everyone picked up the dances
so quickly and so well. It was amazing
how the Scottish and Jewish dances blended
in so well together. Many, Many thanks
to you all."
Rosemary Denholm,

"Just a short note to thank you and
the band for the wonderful music on Saturday
at Stirling Castle. It really got everyone
in the mood and given the chance they would
have gone on all night. Many Thanks!!!"

playing so “monstrously” well
at our Wedding At Prestonfield House. Everyone
had the most wonderful time and our English
friends want to do it all over again!
Your choice of music was perfect and the
caller kept everything running so smoothly.
Thanks again for helping to make our big
day a real celebration!!!"

"Dear Philip,
Thank you so much for the music you guys
played at our Wedding. Everybody loved
it and the dancing was so much fun.
Even those who were doing it for the first
time found it fun, thanks to the dancing
being called. For a three-piece [Norloch Ceilidh
Trio] you guys were powerful and solid.
Thank you for being a big part of the success
of our wedding day."
