Ace Thistles Ceilidh Band Dinner & Dance
A great night was had by all and I would recommend Ace Thistles to everyone. Claire and Alasdair had most of our English party on their feet most of the night and everyone had a great time with them. We couldn’t have asked for any more.

Ace Thistles Ceilidh Band Wedding Reception
Claire and her ceilidh band played at our wedding reception last weekend (30th May) and everyone just loved it. For many it was their first ceilidh and the floor was packed all night. After 2×45 minutes sets, they then had a dance track playlist until midnight. Thanks so much Claire for keeping in contact with us in the run up and for your band’s excellent playing on the night!
We’d recommend this band without any hesitation whatsoever.

Ace Thistles Ceilidh Band – 21st Birthday Party
Had the ceilidh band in for my twenty first birthday and they were just wonderful!! Came with their own PA and lights which was great, very lovely band members, the music was amazing but mostly the ceilidh calling was incredible!!! So many compliments from my guests on the quality of the calling, and also the variety of dances. Great band and I couldn’t recommend more!

Ace Thistles Ceilidh Band, Birthday Party
Had so much fun at a birthday ceilidh thanks to Claire and her excellent calling and music! She made sure everyone could join in, was flexible with how the ceilidh was run and was very quick to respond to queries. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a brilliant and sweaty ceilidh!
