"The meal provided at the ball was absolutely first class as always - what a glorious spread and all for £18.50. This was inclusive of musical entertainment provided by a 5 piece band called Whigmaleerie. What a night we had - made even better by the amount of English visitors, resident for the local ski-ing, all of whom on more than one occasion told our party that they had never enjoyed themselves so much for years. Well done Whigmaleerie and Management take note - they are definitely worth a regular spot!"

Amy and Stuart from Aberdeen Said;

“Thank you all for being amazing and making our wedding dance everything we could wish for; without you it couldn’t have been this special.  Love, Amy & Stuart”

"They are a superb five-piece band with musicians who have performed prolifically on the Scottish popular music and ceilidh scene for many years, adapting their material for all occasions and age groups. The band line-up consists of fiddle, keyboards, drums, guitars and vocals. Their repertoire covers a wealth of material. Their popular sets include plenty of popular songs spanning from the mid 50’s through the 60's and 70's, and selected top hits from the 80's, 90's and this century; their versatility allows them to also feature country, folk, country rock from their large selection of songs and music. On the ceilidh front, they play all the popular Scottish country dances and they also call the dances to help those in the audience not familiar with the steps. In addition, they can also play a selection of traditional music from Ireland and Scotland which is always well received. WHIGMALEERIE have performed at literally hundreds of festivals, marquees, events, weddings, private parties and ceilidhs throughout Scotland, and their lively, energetic music coupled with their on and off-stage humour make this band popular wherever they perform."

"Although we live in Nottingham, Jo is originally from Inverurie and wanted to have her wedding back in Aberdeen. We took a chance on booking Whigmaleerie for our reception at Norwood Hall Hotel as we were unable to view them and were, to be honest, a bit apprehensive. We needn't have been, they were fabulous! and were great fun, especially trying to teach my family and friends Scottish Dancing from south of the border. Thanks guys for a great night. Cheers Peter"

"The best ceilidh band going, what a super night we had for our daughter's 18th birthday ceilidh in Daviot Village Hall on 29th august 2009. Thoroughly recommend this band for your ceilidh". Susan x

"... a great band, with something for everyone ..... a party to remember"

 "you boys certainly put on a show"

 "a no-nonsense approach to all that they do, be it classic covers, folk or country songs, with dances that everyone can manage - a brilliant night!".
 

"from the first song to 'Auld Lang Syne', Whigmaleerie had everyone enjoying themselves and they even let us recover our breath between dances by playing a country classic or folk ballad - great!".

 "that was great guys, pity you were only on stage for the last two hours.  Hopefully we won't wait another 25 years before seeing you again"
