Slinky were absolutely phenomenal at our wedding back in May, our dance floor was consistently full and everyone was raving about how good the band were. They listened to us in our pre wedding meeting exactly and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anything better, 10/10 recommendations to anyone!

As huge music lovers, one of the most important things for us when planning our wedding was finding a band that could play a set we would genuinely love, while also keeping our guests entertained and on the dance floor. Slinky absolutely delivered on both.
They were fantastic from start to finish and were more than happy to play some of our favourite songs. They also learned our first dance with six weeks’ notice, which made the moment even more special.
The setlist was the perfect mix for us and our guests, and not once was the dance floor empty all night. We received so many compliments about how brilliant the band were and the atmosphere they created.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Slinky to anyone looking for a talented, professional wedding band.

What a night! Slinky were absolutely amazing - people were up dancing the whole time and since our big day so many guests have been talking about how good the band was. Always professional and easy to communicate with, amazing setlist and range of music and absolutely delivered on the night! Honestly, we can't thank you enough!!

Thank you so much for performing at Bethan and Jordan's wedding at Meldrum House on Friday 23rd August. We had such a special day and night, and much of that was down to your performance. Apologies for the little miscommunication with getting started, but when we did get going, you were absolutely first class. You gauged the room very well and the dance floor was permanently busy. All our guests' feedback was how good you were, and we will definitely be recommending you to our network of family and friends.

It's hard to even describe how good this band is - the amount of talent that is within every single member is incredible. I lost count of how many guests told us that Slinky was the best band they'd ever seen at a wedding - and I wholeheartedly agree. The dancefloor was full the whole night, I honestly did not leave the dance floor once because every single song was so good. Their versatility was amazing - from Taylor Swift to Stevie Wonder, Beyoncé to Eminem they truly did it all - but not only that they did every single song justice (dare I say most songs even better than the original) and added their own flair by creating mashups and even had a talkbox!
Our wedding was the best day of our lives, but I credit a huge chunk of that to Slinky because they genuinely brought so much fun to our evening.
All I can say is please book - you won't regret it. From one very happy bride.

Hi Duggy,
We're just back from a week's honeymoon and still loving reliving our memories of last Saturday and our wedding.
You guys were all absolutely awesome!
So many super tunes, great musicianship and helping so many ceilidh novices through the steps! And of course for letting Pratik take the mic for some chaotic but fun Indian dancing.
You really kept the dance floor full and so many guests commented on how brilliant you were. We even had someone say "we've never been sure about why people have a wedding band but with a band like this, I get it!"
So please pass on our thanks to all the band for helping us celebrate our special day with such great music to end the night!
Now we just need an excuse to hold another party to have you back again?

Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the band and I'll certainly recommend Slinky to anyone looking for a band. Good to see you after all these years Duggie, you're still a musical genius!

Hi guys!
We just want to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding on Saturday at Boclair House.
You were honestly one of the best bands we have heard at a wedding, plus all our guests have been telling us how brilliant you guys were and clearly showed as the dancefloor was never empty.
Ben wants to know if you guys knew the 2 songs already or if you had to learn them (the first dance and the father daughter dance) as you played them flawlessly.
Definitely recommending you guys to anyone having a function.
Honestly thanks again for making our wedding even more special.

Hi Duggy,
So sorry for the delay in sending this but just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for playing at our wedding at Murthly earlier this month! And thank you to Kerri for all your help in the lead up.
You guys were truly epic and we absolutely LOVED the music and so did all our guests. Thank you for persevering with the Scottish dancing for our useless English friends and for letting the MC steal the mic for his own Eminem rendition. Honestly we've had so many comments about how great you guys were so thank you so much!
Will 100% be recommending you to anyone who asks!
Thank you!

The evening was well-organised (have e-mailed a "well done" to Neil), and the music really topped it off. It really is good to hear live music. My favourite was Honky Tonk Women (showing my age maybe!) I'm not really a Michael Jackson fan, but would certainly "concede" Thriller is a classic, and Slinky did a great job of it. But ABC and, I think you also played Rockin' Robin, are maybe good pop songs but no more than that, yet when you guys played them they became brilliant, which I think is maybe the biggest compliment – turning a "decent" song into a "blow your mind" experience!
Great band, great set list – thank you from all seven of us for a great night!

Hi Dougie, Fiona and all other band members,
Just to say a big thank you from myself and Stephanie for playing a terrific set for us on Friday at our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better band.
Hopefully I wasn't too drunk and bursting Doug's head, but that's part and parcel of the party game I suppose. Anyway, thanks again and I wish we had recorded the set.
Can I ask where is the best place for us to leave you a review? Maybe see you again at some future events... an anniversary party maybe.
Much love
Mrs & Mrs J

I just wanted to thank you so much for making last night so amazing. As you know we'd only managed to see your wee video clip before booking the band and last night was our first time seeing you live - you were fantastic. Everyone commented on how fab and varied the music choice was and Brian and I have never seen a wedding band who were so polished and accomplished. Most importantly, the dance floor was never empty - it was mostly jam-packed and that was entirely down to you.
We've already had a couple of friends inquire about you for future functions and I’ve had no hesitation in singing your praises from the rooftops. It was such a lovely touch that you let our friend Toby use your equipment to do our first dance - you've no idea how much we both appreciate that. I'm really really sorry it was such a late kick off
for you. I've no idea where the time went! All I do know is that you brought a perfect end to the perfect day. Thank you so much.
Hi Fiona,
Thanks again for last night! We had the best night and everyone loved the band and the song choices.
Thanks

Hi Fiona,
Carol & I would like to thank you and all of Slinky for their amazing performance last Saturday on our wonderful day celebrating our marriage. If we could and find a reason to celebrate again, we'd have you guys back like a shot! The entire performance was amazing and was the icing on our cake of such a brilliant day. We were glad we stuck with our first choice and chose you guys as the feedback we received from our guests was a huge thumbs up!! It's just a shame the night ended so sudden as a few of our friends were quite happy to carry on as you can well imagine! The playing of not only our first dance but also a 2nd really surprised us and we both really appreciated that. Also, the inclusion of the rap during the Gay Gordon was inspired and added great fun to the dance for our novice visitors.
Thanks again for being part of the best day of our lives.

Well, where do we even start, slinky were phenomenal! I cannot sing their praises enough!! They were on time and set up quickly- and were so friendly! Then the music- oh the music! Was a fabulous mix and what a talent the band have, the signing, the instruments the set list! The whole place was jumping and everyone dance all night! Even the ones known for NEVER dancing were up having a boogie!! The only complaint was that it couldn't have lasted longer! I have been receiving messages all week singing their praises!! So glad we booked them worth every penny and fitted perfectly with us and ended our day perfectly!!!

We just had the band "Slinky" appear at our daughter's wedding on the 24th of Sept 2016. They were OUTSTANDING.... We were at a Hotel in Banchory and had heard of issues with the dance floor being quiet as the bars are in other rooms. Not this night...every dance the floor was maxed out, the hotel is having to have the foundations checked after Slinkys version of the Gay Gordons which had everyone in the room on the floor. Even the grandmothers were up through the bulk of the crowd was in their mid-twenties, the band managed to get the balance of music just perfect. good musicians and true troopers. You made the night just perfect
