The Jack Dames

Absolutely fabulous service from Hireaband, dealing with Gaye mostly, she was always so helpful and accommodating.
The Jack Dames weren't cheap but worth every penny. They were fabulous, they got the brief and they were so patient during speeches, what a great bunch of people to work with.
I think it was a first in the Highlands for them..there could be many more visits in the future!
Our party was a huge success, thanks to all involved

The Jack Dames were superb, everything was excellent and our guests have repeatedly said how good the band was. Thanks again!

The Jack Dames were fantastic! Very professional and the crowd loved them. 100% would recommend working with them.

We couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding than The Jack Dames.They learned our first dance song at pretty short notice, which Jen and I really appreciated — and they absolutely smashed it on the night!
On the day of the wedding, the band arrived on time, let us know early that they were there, and got set up in record time, which made everything stress-free for us.
The mix of ceilidh dancing and live set music throughout the evening was perfect and really got everybody involved and enjoying themselves.
One of the highlights of the night was when they let Peter, Jen’s brother, get up and sing a Darkness song with them — it went down brilliantly with all the guests!
Every single person we spoke to afterwards said how incredible the band were, and they genuinely helped make our special day even more memorable than we could ever have imagined.
A huge thank you to The Jack Dames from Jen and Calum — we would 100% recommend them to anybody looking for an amazing wedding band.

Played the majority of the songs I requested. My fear was the dancefloor would not be full, how wrong was I, the dancefloor was popping all night. They made our event :-)

Absolutely amazing!! Cannot fault anything

We wanted to say a massive thank you to the Jack Dames who were absolutely incredible and played such a massive part in making our wedding day the best day ever! Ting Tang was brilliant at accommodating all our requests before the wedding and all our guests have been raving about them since!
We are so glad we chose them as they exceeded all our expectations and we wish them all the best!

We had already seen The Jack Dames play live at my best friend’s wedding at Broxmouth Park a few years prior to our own wedding and knew that following our engagement we’d like to book them as well.

Gaye and the rest of the Hireaband team were excellent at keeping in touch throughout the booking process and were the perfect facilitators prior to our contact with the band. Once in direct contact with Chris from The Jack Dames, we were pleased that he was prompt with his replies and made everything seamless.

As for the band’s performance on our wedding day itself - amazing! Our friends and family had nothing but compliments for the band’s sound and their choice of music pleased all tastes; even offering up their very own rendition of C’est La Vie by B*Witched with an “emo intro” at the request of “more emo music” from a close friend of ours. The Jack Dames kept our dance floor packed from the moment they arrived until last orders and home. We couldn’t be happier!

Thank you to everyone at Hireaband and The Jack Dames for being a very valuable and memorable part of our day.

Absolutely incredible band. They had everyone up dancing all night and got right involved with everyone. Big shout out to all of them for putting up with me all night too. I had an amazing time and they let me get right involved. Cannot thank them enough for everything.

Rachel and all the staff at hireaband were absolutely amazing from start to finish - so helpful and friendly. The Jack dames were such good entertainers and really kept everyone going - my legs still hurt from all the jumping around. Such a great variety of music and everyone loved them.

The Hireaband service was fantastic with clear and consistent communication throughout.
The Jack Dames were highly professional and played a flawless performance on the night. We have had lots of guests commenting both on the night and in the weeks since about how much they enjoyed the band and we would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a fantastic wedding band. The Ceilidh set went down a treat with the bagpipes being a highlight for family visitors from Spain.
Thanks again to Hireaband and The Jack Dames for your part in our special day.

Everyone at Hireaband has been fantastic from the communication to helping us with a change of venue.

The band were amazing, taking in our requests, coming to chat with us to calm the nerves and ensuring everyone had a fantastic time!

Now that I have finally recovered from our big day I would just like to email you personally & thank you & your band so much for putting on a fantastic performance.
From when the first song was played right to the end we were all loving it 🥰 so many of my guest have complimented on how amazing you guys were and rightly so - honestly absolutely amazing 🤩
I would like to thank you for playing a massive part in the enjoyment of our day & for ending it just the way we wanted…one big party 🎉 you continued the vibe we were going for & the song choices were one cracking tune after another.

The Jack Dames band was amazing from start to finish. Firstly before the wedding one of our first songs they had to learn & they did it with ease. The dance floor was always full & all my guests were commenting on how amazing they were. My own feet the next day were so sore from all the dancing I was doing but was so worth it. Honestly could not recommend them highly enough. Absolutely brilliant. They followed our vibe of our wedding which was lots of fun, laughter & one big party. Thank you again, The Scotts

The Jack Dames were incredible! The dancefloor was full all night and everyone we have spoken to at the wedding mentioned how great they were. They played a wide variety of songs and were able to read the room to play so many of the songs we like. They made our night so fun and we can’t thank them enough!

Just wanted to follow up with a huge thank you for Saturday, the band were amazing and we are so glad we chose you,you were exactly what we wanted and really made the night awesome. Could not recommend you enough. Thanks again and all the best.

The Jack Dames were amazing, really glad we chose them, they were very popular and kept the party going all night.

We sent an email to Chris but just want to say a huge to the whole band at The Jack Dames.
The guys were so friendly and fun and had our wedding absolutely jumping!
After the initial confusion around setlists they managed to accommodate so many of our requests into the songs they played on the night.
Their rendition of our first dance was incredible and so, so many of the guests kept commenting on Kirsty's voice during the course night and for weeks after our wedding, her voice is PHENOMENAL!
I cannot recommend the Jack Dames enough, they made our wedding reception so unbelievably fun, had the dancefloor packed from beginning to end and were just the nicest group of musicians!
Thank you so much again!
Mr & Mrs Campbell

Hi Chris,
I hope you’re well and your busy weekend is going well!
James and I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your incredible performance at our wedding yesterday. We so, so appreciated you guys adding in the old songs we requested and for everything you guys did that made our day so special. Our guests haven’t stopped raving about you guys all day and a future wedding couple even asked for your details so really hope we get to dance to the Jack Dames again at their wedding if you guys are free!
Thank you so much again!
The Campbells! Xx

We loved The Jack Dames! As the bride, I never left the dancefloor all night! The band were accomodating to us also having a sax player and were able to use this to perform songs that kept us dancing for the remainder of the night. They had even gone to the effort of learning a new song for our first dance, which I was really impressed with and appreciated so much :)

We totally loved having the Jack Dames at our partnership celebrations. They listened carefully to our requests and music choices which meant we were just jamming to all our favourite tunes all night! They learnt our first song and it was totally incredible - a hard ask considering it's a dance track. The ceilidh set was amazing and the bagpiping just added to it. All our guests totally loved them too, so a huge huge thanks - would absolutely recommend!
The service we received from Hire a Band was also great - they kept in frequent contact with us and always replied to messages quickly and were able to change the timings of the set which was a huge help too.

The Jack Dames were amazing! Really great music and very fun all night, interacting well with the guests throughout. All our guests and other suppliers said the same.

We can't thank the Jack Dames enough for a fantastic night at our wedding reception. The music was just brilliant. They played a range of music which kept the dance floor full all night! Our guests loved the music, as did we. We can't recommend them highly enough!

We had an amazing evening reception thanks to The Jack Dames! They kept the dance floor full all night, played a good mix of songs to suit everyone and kept the night lively. They have been so accommodating during our wedding planning after having to change the date several times due to various reasons. All of our guests commented on how great the band were. We would definitely recommend them to anyone planning their wedding and looking for a band to get the party going.

Fabulous band, had all of our attendees up dancing all night. Read the room and catered to everyone. Perfect time keeping, easy to deal with, great to chat to during set up and even let me borrow their mic during the evening before their performance! Would certainly recommend.

The Jack Dames were brilliant. Dance floor full all night and great rapport with the guests. Would certainly recommend them for a wedding!

Absolutely outstanding band! They had everyone on the dance floor and interacted with the crowd really well too. Highly recommend if you’re having a wedding. Can handle a rowdy crowd too! Thank you so much - we loved the music.

The band were absolutely outstanding! Couldn’t have asked for a better performance, great mix of genres for everyone to enjoy. Would highly recommend.

The Jack Dames were sensational. Our dancefloor was full all night. The mix of songs was amazing and our guests just had a ball. Everyone is still raving about their performances and we just are so thankful that they were the performers for our wedding evening. Cannot recommend highly enough! Thank you again.

Got married on 16th July this year and the Jack Dames band played for us. They were outstanding and got everyone up dancing. Would highly recommend them for a wedding.

The Hireaband company are very professional, kept in touch during our booking and very helpful. The band we had were The Jack Dames for my daughters wedding. Absolutely amazing! They are professional, friendly, play an amazing variety to suit all tastes. Even when we requested a couple of songs for the couples first dance and Father of The Bride dance, although they were unfamiliar beforehand, they clearly rehearsed these and were fantastic. The band also kept in touch with us, Chris Ward the drummer was our point of contact, and a great guy who couldn't be more helpful. They were on time, no issues at all and kept the dance floor busy all night.
Everyone at the wedding commented on how good the band were and we would have no hesitation in booking them again or recommending them and the Hireaband company.

These guys were absolutely EPIC! Arrived on the isle of Luing having never been there before, played like rock stars, all the guests were on the dance floor all night and has big compliments about the Jack Dames. We didn’t want it to end. Thank you Chris and the band for making our wedding even more brilliant than we imagined it would be! Book em’ in. Thanks Mr and Mrs Cadzow.

Fantastic service from Hireaband. Regular communication that was greatly appreciated. Communication with Chris from the band was brilliant and no requests were a problem. Fantastic performance from the band on the evening. All our guests commented on how great they were. Absolutely made our reception! Huge thanks from Mr and Mrs McQuillan x

We couldn't recommend using Hireaband more. The staff were all so helpful, got back to us really quickly over any questions or queries we had and we wouldn't hesitate to use you again.

The Jack Dames played at our evening reception and they were fantastic. They had the dancefloor packed all night and every guest couldn't compliment them enough!

They were accomodating to our requests, both in song selection and learning a new song for our first dance. They entertained from start to finish and got everyone involved.

The Jack Dames were amazing at our wedding 15/01/2022. The vocals were amazing and the dance floor was never empty. They were all great, and interacted amazingly with all the guests.
Special shout out to Chris, the drummer, who let one of our toddler guests have a go on the drums, and gave him a set of drum sticks.
Would highly recommend The Jack Dames to anyone.

The Jack Dames were fantastic. They were accomodating to our requests, both in song selection and learning a new song for our first dance. They entertained from start to finish and got everyone involved. The ceilidh set was a favourite for all guests.

Excellent customer service from Hireaband from start to finish. The Jack Dames were fantastic, very friendly and personable. Talented musicians/ceilidh callers who kept the dancefloor busy.

The Jack Dames were absolutely brilliant, and just what we were hoping for. The covers and ceilidh songs were all fantastic and everyone was dancing right till the end! Thank you again

Great communication and brilliantly adaptable amidst ever-changing Covid restrictions. Lively and passionate performance. The outdoor dancefloor was never empty!

Great communication and brilliantly adaptable amidst ever-changing Covid restrictions. Lively and passionate performance. The outdoor dancefloor was never empty!

Kirsty and Jamie were absolutely fantastic as our daytime music for our wedding. They learned some of our favourite songs for us and performed them beautifully. We were really blown away as were our guests. The atmosphere was fab. Jamie even let our 2 year old have a shot of his guitar which was very cute! Would highly recommend!

The Jack Dames were the perfect band for us on our wedding day. Before the wedding the band were approachable and took any requests that we had. Chris also gave us a clear progression of how the night would go and it was flawless from start to finish. Every member of the band is extremely talented and gave a fantastic performance. Our families and friends were very impressed with the band and we have received many compliments on how good they were.

Thanks again for making our night so entertaining!

The Jack Dames were so easy to work with and were the perfect choice for our event. They got everyone up and dancing from the moment they started!
They were super professional, even when elements of the event meant their start time was pushed back.
All round 10/10! Thanks so much.

The band was amazing and would definitely recommend them to anyone else looking!

We had the pleasure of The Jack Dames playing at our wedding and they were just amazing. The dance floor wasn’t empty the entire night.

The first dance was perfect and was every song they played. All of our guests commented on what an amazing time they had and how much fun the dancing was.

Couldn’t have asked for a better band!

Thank you soooo much.

The Jack Dames were great, really good mix of songs had the dance floor jumping the whole night. Great addition of playing the bagpipes during the ceilidh. Were a brilliant band and really made our wedding extra memorable.

We hired The Jack Dames for our wedding and they were outstanding. Cannot fault them at all. They had everyone up dancing from the very first song, my guests also keep saying how amazing they were. I would highly recommend for any event.

I just want to say a massive thank you for playing our wedding at the Vu in Bathgate. You guys were brilliant, definitely made the night! You had everyone dancing from the first song to the very last. The ceilidh was one of my highlights, even though we were terrible at it. Our guests are still raving about how good you were and the fact there is nothing you can't play/sing.

So thanks again, I will be recommending you every chance I get :)

The Jack Dames were absolutely fantastic on our wedding evening. We couldn't have asked for more. They managed to get everyone on the dance floor for most of the evening. The ceilidhs were really fun and well instructed. Thank you so much for making our night!

Just wanted to say Will and I together with our family and friends thought the Jack Dames were really excellent.
We couldn't recommend them highly enough. Really professional, fabulous band who learnt a song for us and created an absolutely brilliant atmosphere.
Thank you!

The band were amazing, everyone has said how amazing they were, dance floor was never empty

Hireaband were fantastic from start to finish! The service and updates on the band were really reassuring. From the booking, quote, deposit, final payment dates all done seamlessly.
I dealt with Chris from the band and he’s an absolute pleasure to talk to and i had him on the phone for a good half hour chatting over timings, first dance choice etc and what our hopes were as a couple of the wedding and band. Chris was so friendly to deal with and a total professional.
When it came to the wedding the band were there all ready to set up well within their timings and hotel staff commented how efficient they were. The music on the night was outstanding! Everyone commented on the amazing band and how they were keeping the dance floor packed and the vocals were insanely good! We couldn’t have wished for a better wedding band! The Jack Dames made the reception for us and the ceilidh and bagpipes what a touch! My ‘husband’ (yes I can say that now) is English and all his family and friends had never been to a Scottish wedding! The band made the night for us! Thanks again so much!

We just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding at Sorn Castle. We had such a brilliant evening dancing away with all our friends and family! The dance floor was full all night and we have received so many comments from our guests on how great you guys were! Thank you for also speed learning Highway to Hell at the break on the request of my husband!!

Thanks, guys, you were amazing! Such lovely people and so many of our guests have said how great you were, love The Clays x

Thank you so much! You guys are absolutely amazing! Everyone was saying how great you guys were! My feet were suffering the next day!!

The band were fantastic, great performers and very professional. Would 100% recommend.

The Jack Dames provided our wedding entertainment for our evening reception and they were absolutely superb. They had the dancefloor packed all night with amazing tunes for every taste and everyone who was there commented on what a fantastic band they were. The highlight for me was them learning the song for my dance with my Dad, it was such a special moment that I will forever treasure, what a truly fantastic band and truly amazing people x

I just wanted to send an email to thank you all for making our evening reception so much fun and so special. I'd also like to thank you for learning our first dance song and in particular the song for my dance with my Dad, it meant so much to us.

You kept everyone on the dancefloor all night and the music you played was amazing.

I just wanted to drop am email to say how fantastic The Jack Dames were at our event on Saturday. They made our wedding so special and learned a couple of songs that meant a lot to us. Honestly amazing from start to finish!

Very accommodating to time requests etc, very good at keeping the tone of the party as we'd hoped! Thank you again for a wonderful night!

The band were everything we could have dreamed of, they made the night perfect and everyone couldn’t compliment them enough!! Thank you so much for making our night magical!

The Jack Dames were absolutely outstanding and were so friendly. I would have no hesitations in recommending them to anyone. Our first dance was sang so beautifully and was exactly how we wanted it to be sung without even asking. The dance floor always had people on it and they were kind enough to let one of our friends sing with them!!!

The band were superb!!!!!!!! The dance floor was full all night and they kept the tunes coming. Lots of modern covers. We can’t thank you enough for being fantastic on the night.

The Jack Dames were simply fantastic. The selection of music, appearance, timing and overall performance were outstanding.

They ensured that we had an incredible party and we received multiple comments from guests about how good they were. Our caterers even mentioned that they were dancing in the catering tent!

I would thoroughly recommend the band to others.

We had an excellent experience with Hireaband. The Band were fantastic and made a great impression with us and our guests.

Massive thank you to the Jack Dames!! Everyone has been complementing us on our first dance choice. You really took it to another level, more than we could have hoped for. All the guests have not stopped raving about you and loved your mix of songs.

'The Jack Dames were an excellent band that played a wide variety of music and kept the whole crowd dancing until the end. I have received nothing but exceptional compliments regarding them and would book them again in the future'

The Jack Dames were fantastic! The dance floor wasn't empty once during the night and the guys were lovely, even stopped to take selfies with our 2 little nieces.

Everyone has commented on how brilliant they were and how amazing the lead singers voice is (sorry I didn't catch your name :-)..) The communication between the band and us/Hireband with us on the lead up to the wedding was really great and the band even learned the song for our first dance which was much appreciated.
I would 100% recommend The Jack Dames.

We could not have been any more delighted with our experience of The Jack Dames at our wedding on the 9th of July. We found them at one of the Hireaband showcases and loved them but had no idea how special their performance would be. Our dance floor was packed from start to finish with amazing music and sensational vocals. We cannot thank them enough for topping off our magical day. Thanks to Hireaband for helping
us to find the perfect band!

The band where absolutely fantastic. They interacted well with the crowd and everyone has commented how amazing they were. They really made the evening special

The Jack Dames were amazing!!!!!!!!! I can honestly say that the band at my wedding was the best I've ever seen / heard they interacted with the crowd, allowed a few people to steal the microphone and do a wee song. They encouraged people to get up dancing and I don't think there was an empty dance floor all night! And most of all, they were nice to chat to and their singing / guitar / drum playing was second to none!!! Thank you for a fabulous night!!!

Hi Chis, just a little text to say thank you so much! You're are a amazing band! You had the dance floor moving all night and everyone hasn't stopped going on about how amazing the band was, you all made my night. And I will be highly recommending you to everyone I know. Give my love to the rest of the band members and thanks so much for making my wedding an amazing night. Xx from the new Mrs Collins xx

They were the highlight of the evening.
All everyone loved them will definitely hire them again if we have another function .
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED.

The Jack Dames were absolutely incredible! All our guests loved the band & the music so much so that even those who said they don't dance were up on the dance floor enjoying their songs. We couldn't have been happier with their performance & Hireaband were so helpful in organising everything for us especially since there were quite a few back & forth changes to timing & schedules for the day. The band made the entire evening wonderful & such a great party for our wedding!

Simply outstanding band! As confirmed by approx 150 of our guests!

We couldn’t fault the service from Hireaband. We were delighted that we choose the Jack Dames from a Hireaband wedding band showcase as our wedding band. All contact made with Hireaband, from booking the band at the showcase to emails, was professional and helpful. It certainly made part of the wedding planning process easy. On the night, the floor was never empty and they played a variety of songs to suit all ages. They were very accommodating in terms of letting the groom use one of their guitars and sing on the night. Two of the main reasons why we choose the Jack Dames was because they offered 30 minutes of ceilidh and there were male and female vocals, which certainly didn’t disappoint on the night. They demonstrated excellent customer service in terms of learning the first dance song and sending us a recording to allow us to rehearse a first dance routine and contacting us a month before to go through final details. We would definitely recommend them to future brides and grooms.

Everything has been perfect from start to finish. The Hireaband office were easy to work with in terms of the booking and payment etc. The band themselves were great, contacting me before to make sure they knew what we were looking for and then on the night the dance floor was full all night. They even let my Father-in-law take the mic for a song and were really good fun on the night.
Thank you!

We couldn't recommend using Hireaband more - being able to see such a large selection of bands with videos, playlists and samples was fantastic. The staff were all so helpful, got back to us really quickly over any questions or queries we had and we wouldn't hesitate to use you again.

The Jack Dames were outstanding. They were so helpful beforehand going out of their way to learn our requests which were songs they hadn't played before and taking time to understand what we wanted. On the night they introduced themselves as soon as they arrived, were so friendly and most importantly so professional. From the moment they started our first song we were swept away with how brilliant they were, they kept the party going all night and honestly couldn't have been better. Everyone who attended our wedding has mentioned how fantastic they were - and they made the night for us. If you are struggling with booking a band which is understandable with so much choice please don't hesitate to book The Jack Dames - it was the best decision we made! Thank you!!

My husband and I would like to thank you for the most amazing night ever. We had the time of our lives nearly every guest commented on how amazing the band were so thank you so much we loved it we all had a crazy fun time

The Jack Dames were fantastic, the dance floor was never empty and they even allowed one of our friends up to sing with them!! couldn't recommend them enough!!

The Jack Dames were a fantastic part of our big day. They learned our unfamiliar first dance as well as a couple of extra requests and helped keep the dance floor filled all night. Our guests (50% from down south) particularly loved their ceilidh set and their varied choice of songs. Thanks again for a great set!

Brilliant service from Hireaband and the band were awesome! Everyone loved them - just made the night perfect! Would book them again if I had a cause to hire a band in the future!

Great band. Fantastic singers and musicians and accommodated our requests. Would definitely recommend.

We both appreciate the help we have had a long the way from yourselves and the band. The band were excellent on the night and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Would recommend to others. Thanks again.

We absolutely loved the jack dames. Amazing voices and performers all our guests commented on what a great band they were Also thank you to hire a band for making the organising and planning so easy and fuss free, a special mention to the lovely Gaye who emailed me and kept me informed throughout.
I'd recommend to anyone and everyone!

Great band, really good repertoire of songs. Responded well to crowd and didn't get put off by rowdy Sailors.

Thank you so much for the performance and it made our day fantastic. We couldn't fault the band and they were very accommodating with requests before and during our big day. Very friendly and professional, thank you.

The Jack Dames were AMAZING at our wedding. They were so lovely to chat to and literally had everyone on the dance floor for the entire night. Thank you so much for all your help and providing such a great group. I will be telling everyone I know how great they were! Thanks again Lee. Best wishes from the Maldives!

Cannot praise the Jack Dames highly enough, everyone is still talking about how fantastic they were. Lovely to deal with, learned and added couple of songs to their set list that we requested (and played them perfectly ) and had everyone on the dance floor all night. What more can you ask for? Hireaband were brilliant to deal with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Jack Dames and Hireaband to anyone.

Jack Dames were excellent great sound lovely people and we will definitely book them for next year xxx

The Jack Dames are by far the best wedding band I have ever seen - and we are privileged that they played at our wedding. They even made up a song to go with our dancing - outstanding!! All of our guests were up dancing at some point, there was hardly a bum on seat at some points!! I would not hesitate to use this band again! First rate service from start to finish!

The Jack Dames were fantastic keeping in touch with us before the wedding and learning 3 of our favourite songs and letting us hear them before picking our first dance! On the night the band were fantastic had everybody up dancing and everyone commented On the atmosphere and buzz they had on stage! Overall a fantastic band that had us dancing all night! I would recommend anyone who is unsure to book The Jack Dames! They are fantastic!!

This is the second time I have used Hireaband and the service was excellent, we kept in touch all the way from first email to the night of our function. The Jack Dames were excellent on the night, very friendly and played a variety of songs. We all had a great night and would definitely book the band again and go to hire a band for any more functions.

Just a quick note to say I thought the Jack Dames were excellent at the Spirit Awards Ceremony in November. They really engaged with the crowd and kept the dance floor busy all night. They were also very approachable and easy to work with. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others. Thanks for your help!

Happy with how everything was handled and would use again.

Booking the band through Hireaband was extremely easy and stress free, the band did a great job the whole night and made sure our first dance was special. Cannot rate The Jack Dames highly enough and working in the hospitality industry, we will definitely use the hireaband website for further bookings.

The Jack Dames were absolutely amazing! The really got the party started and we had so many compliments from our guests on our choice of band. They are so approachable and friendly, and their personalities really shone through on the night, they were more than happy to get involved in the banter with our guests. The band are incredibly professional and also really flexible in their approach - we had a couple of issues with our venue on the evening and the band were extremely helpful in assisting us to deal with these. I can't thank them enough for making our evening reception such a success!

The Jack Dames band made our wedding the best we could have hoped for. They were great fun and excellent singers, friendly and very personable we would recommend to everyone - if it hadn't been for Hire A Band we would not have found The Jack Dames for that we are so grateful - Hire a Band were easy to use and very friendly and helpful. Five stars from us across the board.
