Reviews of Barn With Us - Country Band & Line Dancing

We had an excellent Golden Wedding Anniversary celebration with Barn With Us. Everyone had an hilarious time dancing. Gordon our call master was so patient and friendly guiding us through the dances. It was lovely to have a lively professional band. Everyone said they would do it again - even the younger ones! Thank you to you all!

Lilac played at our small country pub in September and put on a terrific performance, showcasing her great talent for the locals. We look forward to working with her again on some bigger ideas we have!

A fantastic country and western singer Lilac is, with an authentic good old country sound, for everyone to sing along too, line dance with and be country happy. Worth every penny. Don’t hesitate book now.

I want to have the party again! Nothing made our Wild West theme party as good as Lilac, Remko & co! From booking, setting up, to the live performance, they were professional, flexible, kind and extremely talented. 'Barn with us' and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone and even got people up dancing (which doesn't always happen often at corporate events) so much so, we booked them for an additional set! Thank you so much! We will definitely book again and I highly recommend to anyone. Great value too!

Recently hired Lilac and Barn with Us for our country themed wedding - they were amazing.
Lilac’s attention to detail in compiling the set list and incorporating some of our chosen songs was great and she communicated with us throughout the whole process.
On the night they set themselves up without disturbing us and the set, lights and sound were good quality. They were very helpful in playing our own playlists in between.
Lilac’s voice is fantastic and many guests commented on how good she was.
The line dancing was great fun and had all our guests up and joining in.
They helped make our wedding a day to remember

Lilac and her team were absolutely amazing on Friday night! , I still haven’t recovered.
We had a wonderful barn dance for my birthday party .
The music was sensational and they even learnt a new song just for me and made a cracking job of it too.
They kindly played on extra time which was brilliant and very much appreciated. I could not have asked for better entertainment.

Just had an amazing party with Barn with us!!! Incredible music, great friendly musicians in full country theme. The dance floor was buzzing all night. Thank you for a truly memorable night

Great band. A professional, experienced team of performers as well as friendly and helpful through out. Barn With Us were a perfect choice for our Country and Western themed community carnival. A real pleasure to work with.

Very professional band and excellent vocals and performances. All members very easy going and friendly. The caller had everyone up and dancing and was a huge hit with our guests. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you

We held a Street Party for adults and children and wanted a fun, line dancing event to kick off the celebrations and get everyone in the party mood. I contacted Sound With Us and spoke to Lilac who was friendly and very approachable. She understood what we wanted and found us the perfect solution in Adam. Everyone agreed that he was one of the highlights of the day! He knew instinctively what would get us up and dancing and created a set that was tailor made for the audience. Both dancers and watchers were so impressed by his enthusiasm and abilities. Brilliant, enjoyable entertainment!! We would all strongly recommend Barn With Us and Adam.

We recently used Barn With Us for our Summer Party at at Extra Care Scheme. The resident's and staff greatly enjoyed the music and the line dancing, we could not recommend them highly enough, such a fun afternoon.

Brilliant, awesome, superb, look no further. Great band, great singer, great line dancing, perfect night. Made the event. Everyone enjoyed the whole evening. Memories that will never be forgotten!

Thank you all for Friday night! The band was amazing. Great feedback from everyone, the line dancing was great 😅. Highly recommend.

Such a phenomenal band. Tailored the whole performance to our preferences. Got the whole room up and line dancing 4 times. Honestly made my 40th birthday party the best night that I will never forget. Everyone said how epic it was. Hope to use them again soon. Thank you Lilac and the band for making our night!

We hired this band 'Barn With Us' for our Company Summer Party 2 weeks ago, The weather had been horrendous that morning right up until they arrived! Not only did they bring the sunshine with them, they also brought the PARTY! They are so good! They had people up line dancing and joining in, everyone had so much fun. Remko and Lilac make such a good team, and the other band members support them well too.
We would definitely not only recommend them, but we would also book them again ourselves.
10 out of 10 for you guys. 💜

We hired Barn With Us for our wedding and they were incredible! We wanted Country music but with a bit of energy and excitement and Sound With Us delivered it perfectly. Very professional band who can read the room well and get everyone up dancing and change the dynamics at the right times. Not only do these guys show up and play like the truly talented musicians that they are, but they are also very easy to chat to and made all of the pre-arrangements easy, they even face-timed us a couple of days before the wedding to go over some details and check we were happy with what we had planned. It was a pleasure to have them with us on our big day and if you are considering hiring this band then do it...book them...you won't be disappointed! :)

Lilac and the band were amazing from start to finish after we booked them for our wedding. Lilac was incredibly helpful in the planning process and nothing was too much trouble. She helped us organise our evening reception (of which I am forever grateful as neither of us had a clue!) and the band even learned our first dance song. They really got the party started, asking for crowd participation, and the line dancing lesson went down a storm. Every guest I spoke to said how amazing they were and how much fun they had dancing along. If your struggling finding a band, I can’t recommend them enough! We chose barn with us as we are big country music fans but they have so many different genres you can choose from!

We booked Lilac and Ben from Barn With Us to perform at our western-themed corporate fun day last week. They were fantastic!

Professional, friendly, and incredibly talented, Lilac and Ben had our team of 60 cowfolk on their feet, singing and line dancing (well, attempting to line dance).

Sound With Us made our event memorable, and we would not hesitate to book them again!

We hired Barn With Us two years ago to play for our party however, with two cancellations thanks to Covid, we have only just had the party. I can say it was truly worth the wait!

Without a doubt, every single person loved the performance that the band put on, they were superb! They really made the night and managed to get people to dance on stage that I’ve never even seen dance before! Many people came up to me and said how wonderful the band were and I wouldn’t be surprised if more business comes to the band from guests at the party! Thank you for a truly wonderful night!

I cannot recommend Barn With Us enough, everything was expertly organised, including through Covid and we were able to select our favourites to sing along to!

If you're looking for a sign to book these guys, this is is!!! Lilac, Remko and the band were absolutely fantastic!! We got married in America then had a party back home to celebrate with friends and family. We did an American themed party and Barn With Us exceeded all of our expectations. We also chose the line dancing caller add on, this got people up on the dance floor and was so much fun. My little girl got to sing a little of Jolene with Lilac and absolutely made her year! Thank you guys so, so much for a great day! Fern & Andy xXx

If I could give more than 5* I would! Barn With Us were incredible at our wedding and really made the evening celebrations fantastic. We wanted a country band that could really get everyone up and dancing and they did not disappoint! We also had a caller to help with the line dancing and our guests had such a fun time learning the steps. Lilac was brilliant from start to end and really understood what we wanted and offered some very helpful suggestions on timings for the evening. We wanted to do a specific song for our first dance and the band were so accommodating of this and it was perfect. We also had Remko for a DJ set after the live band and he was brilliant to end the night on a high. I would thoroughly recommend the band and DJ if you are looking for great energy and brilliant music for a special event. Some of our guests have already booked the band for a 70th Birthday celebration - so we look forward to seeing you again soon! Thank you so much to Sound With Us for making our wedding so brilliant - you really were the highlight of our wedding! Sophie & Guy x

Barn With Us were amazing. They got everyone on the dance floor! We loved learning to line dance with the caller, a great addition to a party. Would 100% recommend.

I booked Barn With Us for my husbands 60th birthday party at our house. They were absolutely Fantastic, the whole band and equipment were extremely professional and Lilac’s voice is amazing. There was lots of communication with Lilac before the event so I felt really confident I was going to get the sort of performance that suited my party. The event was fairly small with only 35 guests but Lilac really brought the party to life with lots of interaction, everyone loved it and had so much fun. I would highly recommend them Thank you so much Barn with us for making my party feel really special x

We recently hosted a Wild West themed party. Sounds With Us helped us find just the right band, with a caller to add to the fun of the theme with line dancing and barn dancing, as well as sourcing a rodeo bull to complete the theme and the entertainment. From start to end it was a very easy process and it was wonderful to have Sounds With Us to call up when we had concerns even on the evening of the event itself. I would definitely use them again for future parties.

What a great band!!! Really made our party having the band and line dancing caller. Great to deal with from start to finish and would highly recommend :-)

Lilac, Rem and the band were amazing! From start to finish, they were helpful and knowledgeable. They know how to throw a party. Lilac taught us all several fun line dances. The dance floor was packed at all times. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you Ken for your contribution to making our Party on Saturday so brilliant. You were absolutely the right choice to give our guests (all 110) an introduction to line dancing. You got the balance right and the fun came as a result. The two late afternoon 45 minute sessions were the right balance to get the guests ready and up and dancing to the Band in the evening. Brilliant. Thank you. Best wishes (Ian (70) and Jenni (30))

We had sound with us for my 21st country and western party, they were BRILLIANT!! Lilac had everyone up teaching us line dancing and getting everyone involved I would definitely recommend !

Lilac and the band were more than we could have asked for. We hired 'Barn with us' for a corporate summer party and they were great! Amazing talent, got lots of people up line dancing and they were so easy to communicate with prior to the event too. Will defintiely be using again.

These guys are brilliant! They had the everyone up and involved with the country dances! All of my guests said how much of a good time they had and have since tried the dances out! Such a fantastic variety of songs too. Thank you for making my 30th so great!

We hired this band for my mum's 60th birthday hoedown, and they were absolutely outstanding! From the moment they started, they set the perfect vibe for the party. Their use of various instruments added a fantastic depth to the performance, and they kept everyone on their feet with line dancing that was so much fun. The entertainment package they provided went beyond our expectations, with a perfect mix of lively tunes and great energy. They truly made the party unforgettable. Highly recommend them for any event – they know how to get the crowd going and ensure everyone has a blast!

Wow, what a band! We booked the country genre for our Country Hoedown with taught line dancing. It was the most fun I’ve had in years. Outstanding and the best band we have ever seen. Will be using for all events now. Thank you

Sound with us were fantastic at our country and western night. Their lively set had everyone on their feet, and the line dancing was a real hit! The band were so good and really captured the spirit of the fun, feel - good night!

So friendly and high attention to detail. Super engaging and encouraging. Most know little to about line dancing (myself included), but this crew had everyone in lock step within minutes.

We absolutely loved it! Everyone has said what a great time they had and how good you guys were! We loved it all. Was nice to get the kids involved in the line dancing as well as adults! We honestly had the best time xx thank you so much

OMG where to begin?!? What an amazing experience we had, from our initial contact with the group/owner/lead singer, Lilac, all the way through to our wedding day. Before booking we had a fair amount of correspondence, information bouncing backwards and forwards with my specific questions to their professional opinions and information. I had a vision which I presented and it was clear from the start we could trust them to produce exactly what was wanted. Once we confirmed our booking, over the 12 months before our wedding, there were zoom chats and even a dinner date for us all to meet and put together our tailored set list arrangements, for both solo acoustic sets and country band sets (which we had booked a 5 piece but due to some changes in circumstances ended up with an 8 piece 🫶🏼👌🏼) Their professionalism is 2nd to none and faultless. On the big day, they arrived early, with their engineer not only managing to get a whole lot of equipment set up and maintained for 2 different on site locations but also spending time documenting the highlights.. the work that goes on behind the scenes is paramount and knowing the basics I was highly impressed. Now, for the performances.. obviously this is what everyone soaks in the most! Perfection is in the eye of the beholder and as I have no doubt, the band will confirm this, my requirement of this is relentless (the musical element to the day was almost as important to me as the day itself) and I can hand on heart express how I felt their performances were exactly the level of perfection I envisioned. I'm not the crying kind, I held back tears at the ceremony but Lilac managed to break me during her solo acoustic performances twice! Upon the band starting to play for our bride and groom enterance to the marquee we were compelled to jump straight onto the dance floor and we were both encapsulated by a stunning performance. Not being one to usually be found on the dancefloor too long I felt the lack of need to leave for the entire 1st set. I remember a conversation with Lilac about being able to get all the guests dancing and my stating I'll put every effort into ensuring that dancefloor was filled. Well, within the 1st minute we went from Mr & Mrs alone on the floor to having the room filled, although my assertiveness instigated this, it was the band that kept them all there from start to finish. What a wonderful wedding we had and what an epic musical experience everyone had! We've had nothing but high praise from all our guests and my only response is "weren't they amazing?!" Finally, on a personal level. These guys are absolutely as lovely as they are professional. Their genuine passion for what they do and their personalities shine through not only their performances with smiles, energy and interactions but just in conversation before and afterwards. Outstanding work, beautiful people. We love you, we loved what you did for us and appreciate each of you for being you and being a major piece of the best day of both our lives 🫶🏼👌🏼🤗 Thankyou!!!! Oh, and they can even provide a videographer and other services if required.. just another quick plug for you. Yee Hawww 🤠🥳🎶🔊❤️

Lilac and her amazing band members made our special 40th birthday celebration truly a memorable night. Very professional and very very talented every person at party has now learnt to properly line dance. I would highly recommend them. Well done and thank you

Sound with Us were brilliant. Every part of the process from booking the band, sorting playlists and explaining how the night would run was done effortlessly and made me feel confident that they would look after us and put on a good show. The night went seamlessly and they performed beyond expectation. The girls had the best night and everyone loved the line dancing/barn dance. The DJ was great - no one noticed him setting up and the transition from band to DJ was perfect. A lovely team to have on the night. Thank you so much for making it a truly successful memorable party.

We hired Sound with us for a country event at The Barn at Sir Henrys. Fantastic band, had everyone up dancing / line dancing. They brought brilliant vibes to the barn 🤠✨

What an amazing band. Entertained us for a works event with their great music and some fabulous line dancing as well. Instructions were clear and easy to follow and it was such good fun. Would totally recommend to anyone who wants to do something a bit different

The band were absolutely fantastic at our charity barn dance! They had everyone up on their feet from start to finish and created such a fun, lively atmosphere. Their energy and talent made the night so special, and we couldn’t have asked for better entertainment. We had so many compliments from guests who said how much they enjoyed the music a truly brilliant performance!”

It was such a great night, thank you so much! Our venue was on the smaller side but so pleased you guys made it work with the smaller drum set etc. Everyone was very impressed with the band and the ratio of free dancing to choreographed line dances was perfect. A very successful surprise birthday hoedown!

Amazing band, booked them for my partner's surprise 50th Birthday party and they really made it something special. We all had the best time and they got the crowd dancing (and line dancing) loads. Loved the barn dancing as well. Not a bad word to say. Highly recommend!!

Lilac came and sang at my 40th birthday, in a barn in the rainy weather, she was fantastic, great voice and the sound was absolutely immense. Her and Remko were lovey to meet and camped with us to continue the celebrations. Really fantastic!

Dear Lilac,
I just wanted to send a thank you to you and the band for the 2 August performance. Everyone really enjoyed the music and commented on how the country band was excellent. I appreciate your learning the songs I sent over- I think you did a brilliant job. You also did a great mix of music that went really well together, we really enjoyed dancing to it. My husband said he thought you and your band made the weekend, you were his favorite and that is saying a lot considering we had 4 performances that weekend.
I hope all of you enjoyed yourselves and the BBQ food.
I will definitely keep you in mind for any future events or recommendations.
Many thanks and wishing you the best,
Vanessa

These guys provided such an awesome ceilidh at our wedding. We had a lot of in experienced and multinational guests and the caller did an incredible job of getting everyone involved and having fun. It was a real highlight of the night for us and we can't recommend these guys enough!

Barn with us recently played at our wedding in our back garden and they were incredible! Everybody was up swinging each other around to Cotton Eye Joe and other great hits. Lilac and her band were perfect for such a mixed age group and we all had fun trying out line dancing, we would like to thank Sound With Us for making our day so fun and a day our guests are still talking about!

Thank you to you and the band for creating such a wonderful musical background to our staff party yesterday. We have received many comments on how brilliant the music was. We will certainly recommend you to other colleagues and friends.

Thank you for your lovely performance, the evening was great!!! You were right, the wind & cold brought everyone into the barn to dance, chat & listen to your music!!

Compliments from everyone, they loved your music, commented on how good it was to hear a really good live band! The sound was excellent, the caller was approachable, friendly & encouraging.

Please do thank all your musicians, the caller & Remko for making the night such a success.

And thank you to you for listening to what I requested & giving us all a most entertaining evening.

I do wish you well with all your future plans for ‘Barn With Us’. With my good wishes! Penelope

We needed a to book a last-minute Bluegrass band for a country & western themed event for one of our clients. Lilac was accommodating and made sure the band and musicians were arranged and arrived in plenty time to allow for rehearsals. Bluegrass With Us performed well and included a line dance instructor. Overall we had a successful night and a satisfied client. I would recommend their services. Thank you again.

Lilac & her band performed at a Country & Western night at our working men's club. The band was brilliant good song choices and communication. I would warmly recommend them for any event.

Lilac, Remko and the band organised a great evening of line dancing for 80 teenagers. After some initial reluctance they were soon tapping away and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. After a pizza break they then chilled to the sounds of the band. Thank you very much indeed and we will certainly be inviting the Band back.

Barn With Us played at our school charity dinner last weekend and I am going to let the pupils do the talking:

Vibrant; great company; made it a lot of fun; great singing and music; the callers explained everything really well and made sure everyone understood what they should do (the dance was demonstrated to me at this time!); lively; really good atmosphere; they were funny; great energy - you get the picture!

Big thank you to Lilac, Remko and everyone else involved.

Remko and Lilac plus support organised a great evening of line dancing for 80 teenagers. After some initial reluctance they were soon tapping away and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. After a pizza break they then chilled to the sounds of the band. Thank you very much indeed and we will certainly be inviting the Band back.

Absolutely fantastic performance! Highly recommend!

We booked Americana for our anniversary Barn Dance which was attended by around 200 people. They had a caller who helped everyone learn the steps. It was a great evening! We had the opportunity to discuss what was wanted directly with the band prior to the event which was helpful and reassuring. The band subsequently put together a great set with a fabulous selection of songs which were performed brilliantly. The interval music was also well received. We had nothing but positive feedback from our guests, so a successful evening! Very happy with our choice of band for this special event.

Thanks once again for playing at our event. The band was brilliant and your voice was amazing. I particularly like the way you guys adapted each set to the needs of the event. Your sound engineer, Remko constantly adapted the set up and sound to make sure that it sounded great around the whole venue. Lighting and even a smoke machine (!) made the barn into a real western disco! ll in all it made for a fantastic night, Thanks you AMERICANA!!!!!
