'They more than surpassed our expectations! We were looking forward to a lively ceilidh to get our evening celebrations kicked off. What we got was the best three hours of music and entertainment we could have hoped for. It was the perfect mix of 'easy' dances and new ones, plus a few songs to give our guests time to get their breath back, plus an absolutely virtuoso performance on the pipes from Lorne that our guests were talking about all night and the following morning as they were leaving. But the best part of the whole night was the performance of Auld Lang Syne and the wild jig/reel that followed - absolutely legendary and quite possibly THE defining moment of the entire wedding. Everyone is still talking about it!

Reviews of their CDs:
'Fear not. While this is a CD of a Ceilidh band, the tunes are kept sensibly short, the pace is varied, the instrumentation shows imagination and the songs are really well done. The result is a curiously engaging album - short by CD standards but that's part of its charm. The band gives a cleaner sound than is often the case with larger ceilidh ensembles, and achieves a lot of rhythm without needing a drummer. The material is mainly Scottish, as befits a band from the Western Isles and Glasgow, with splashes of Irish, Cape Breton and Toronto. Standout track for this listener is a local song for the band - 'Loch Lomond', done in a way that brings out what the song is about. Well worth a listen, especially for ceilidh bands thinking of making an album and wanting to know how it should be done!' Bho SPINS
'The crossover between Scottish dance, ceilidh and folk music has, at last, been tastefully achieved.' Robbie Shepherd, BBC Radio Scotland
'The JCB seem a cheery lot, their album of the same name is certainly an eponymous amalgam of jigs, reels and hornpipes, plus songs from the jaunty to the classic 'Loch Lomond' which will please a lot of people. This is one JCB people will really dig.' Alasdair McLean, Scots Magazine
