“Dancing to Celticladda was delightful. The fiddle played over and around the rhythm in a way that was sometimes bright and lively, sometimes pretty and soulful. Randy's band had such control of the tempo that we dancers were caught unawares and helpless in the music that built inconspicuously to that high level of excitement provoking 'whoops' and hollers by which we measure our favorite bands.”

-Susan Amato, programmer, Petaluma Contra Dance

“It was a great treat having Celticladda play for the Chicago Monday Night Dance ... We rarely get to hear well-played, driving, northern style dance music, and Celticladda is it. Randy's awareness of what makes for good dance music and clarity of style, plus Tom's and Eric's steady rhythm provides a great basis for good contra dancing ... They are welcome back in Chicago any time.”

-Jeffrey Rovner, Chicago Barn Dance

“Just wanted to let you know what a lasting effect you had on my fiddling, both in style and repertoire, at the Fiddletunes fest in Port Townsend ... I learned a great deal from your classes. I've since bought your books and CDs and found a niche playing the tunes you so artfully present. I hadn't found a fiddling home before this, so I'm grateful.”

-Ashley Steinhart

“Celticladda's renditions are fresh and dynamic. Their mastery of contra art and craft on New Year's Eve launched exhilarated North Bay dancers across the threshold of 2008 with a lasting dance high.” 

-Reta Lockert, programmer, San Rafael Contra Dance

"Randy has a lovely pure traditional fiddle style.”

-Seamus Walshe, Co. Galway, All-Ireland Accordion Champion

“It was obvious from all the hoots and hollering and wild applause that most everyone in the hall realized we were dancing to something special ... Personally I listen to dance music with my body. That night in Santa Rosa my body was swinging faster, jumping higher, stomping harder, and yelling louder than at most local dances. Wow!! Thanks again for a fine evening at Monroe Hall.”

-Michael Martin, programmer, Santa Rosa Contra Dance

“Calling with Celticladda was a delight! Not only did they give us a standing ovation at the end of the evening, but individual dancers came up to me for weeks afterwards telling me how much they enjoyed it.”

-Charlie Fenton, San Francisco

“Miller's music is the real deal.” -Mary DesRosiers, Sing Out!
