"I hired Swains Gold for a ceilidh in January 2010. The band were very friendly, flexible and arrived well in advance to set up. They played a 3 hour set for a very reasonable price and were really fantastic. The dance floor was packed all night and the caller made sure everyone had the hang of things so those who had not been to a ceilidh before could enjoy it just as much. I have been to many where this has not been the case and the dance floor has turned into carnage! I have had people coming up to me since all commenting on how good the band were and I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone else."

Anne (Burns Night Supper, Redruth, January 2010)

"A big thank you to the band - you were absolutely brilliant throughout the meal and then into the evening. The music just seemed to fit perfectly with the setting and feel of the day."

Sarah and Daniel (Wedding at Bathpool, Launceston, September 2009)

"Thank you for playing at the Black Bess New Year Ceilidh. A great fun time was had by all. Music and dancing for beginners and 'experts'. Looking forward to more fun this year."

Jayne & John (New Year's Eve ceilidh at Newton Abbot 2008)

"I've seen the band on a couple of occasions, and I would like to say how impressed I was. The mix of instruments creates a unique sound that is different and refreshing. The dances are suitable for new and experienced dancers alike, and with the caller giving clear precise instructions it all makes for an enjoyable ceilidh. Anyone planning a celebratory ceilidh or one just for fun can do no better than book Swain's Gold."

"I wanted to say a big thank you to the band for performing at our Barn Dance on August 15th at Lower Goodmansleigh, Launceston. We had a terrific evening and hope it was a success for yourselves as well. We were so pleased with your performance and would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone. Because of its success, we are hoping the Lower Goodmansleigh Barn Dance will be an annual event and I will of course keep your contact details should we plan another event next August. Thanks again."
