TESTIMONIALS this is the most important section of our whole website - we hope you find it useful : EVENTS of 80 to 250 GUESTS: “I don’t actually know where to start as regards thanking you and the band for such a memorable evening. I have had so many cards from our guests thanking us for such a wonderful time, and they have all highlighted your band as the reason why they had sore feet for days! Their comments range from ‘fantastic band’ to ‘phenomenal band’ and that is from young & old alike. I loved the way they applauded you for an amazing Orcadian Strip the Willow and although I didn’t do the Virginia Reel myself, Darryl and I both stood with huge grins on our faces, watching the incredible sight. My daughter Siobhan says it was the best dance she had ever done! It was an absolute pleasure in dealing with you, all your correspondence was so helpful, informative & nothing was too much trouble for you, just brilliant for Kerry and me. I’m sure there are 230 people who will be talking about you all for some time to come” - Mairi McDiarmid, 26-6-09 LARGE EVENTS / INTERNATIONAL EVENTS : 250 to 1000+ GUESTS: Thinking of holding an event where the majority are CEILIDH NOVICES or NON-SCOTS ? Please read on for a testimonial of how we performed at an event that ticked all of those boxes : “Whisky Kiss are amazing, we were lucky enough to book them for our annual JCI Burns Gala Dinner this year and they absolutely made sure that both our national and international left in no doubt that Scots know how to party. The planning side of things was a dream and Iain and his band are without a doubt the easiest, most fun, professional and talented people you could hope to meet or work with. So much so we have booked them again for next year." Pauline McLeod - Senior Vice President - JCI Edin. 20 to 80 GUESTS ? HOLDING A MORE INTIMATE EVENT ? “What can we say!!! What a weekend. A major part of it being such a great time was the ceilidh and whole reception. All the guests and us haven’t stopped speaking about it and we’re 2 months on!! A WHISKY KISS made it a tremendous night with everyone up on the dance floor for every dance! Honestly, Iain, we were over the moon and thought it finished off the celebrations of the big day superbly. We can’t thank you all enough. Please be sure to pass on our thanks to the rest of the team. We’re still waxing lyrical to anyone who will listen and is looking for a ceilidh band.” Eric & Liz Mitchell - wedding with 40 guests, Adanaseig, Argyll, 4-4-2009 Testimonials from PEOPLE YOU MIGHT KNOW : “The Best Ceilidh Band in the World” - Alex Salmond, First Minister of Scotland, on stage at Princes Street Edinburgh, St Andrews Day, 30 Nov 2007. “...an exceptional ceilidh band...” Jack McConnell, former First Minister of Scotland, at his daughter’s wedding, Stirling Castle, 2008. “these guys were awesome, they’ve got a really cool sound” - Fran Healy, Travis lead singer; wedding at Sherbrooke Castle, Glasgow.
