Reviews of Dermot (Solo Fiddle or with band)

What can I say? If you are a fan of Irish music, instrumental or with vocals then Dermot and the rest of the amazing musicians are who you need to hire! They were an absolute joy and a pleasure to have play at my beloved father's wake. They are such lovely and friendly people as well as fantastic musicians with a vast array of instrumentation between them. They graciously accepted requests prior to the event and also from some of the guests. My dad would have absolutely loved it and it made a very sad day very joyful and comforting for everyone. Our guests commented on how wonderful they were and the pub staff as well. I highly recommend hiring Dermot and the gang for any event, not just a wake. Communication was excellent before hand and hiring Dermot and the band were the easiest part of the many arrangements that we had to make when organising our dad's funeral and a wake. We sincerely thank you and highly recommend you, The O'Brien family.

We hired Dermot to play at our wedding last week as a duo. We wanted an Irish band to play during our canapés & drinks reception, all our guest said how fantastic they were & enjoyed the music. Dermot was very professional & had everyone up dancing. We will most definitely be recommending them to family & friends. Thank-you so much Dermot.

Very slick process from start to finish and we were delighted with Dermot’s performance at our wedding. Great experience and wouldn’t hesitate to hire again. Thanks Dermot - you guys were amazing and set a really great vibe for the ceremony, thank you so much again

Dermot’s music was one of the highlights of our wedding day. Having moved our wedding from Ireland to the UK due to Covid, we really wanted to capture the emotion and essence of an Irish wedding, and the music and drinks reception were perfect! During our walk down the aisle there wasn’t a dry eye in the house!
Beforehand Dermot organised zoom rehearsal with my sister in law so she could sing alongside him confidently during the ceremony and I know she was extremely grateful. The impromptu singalong during the drinks reception was a highlight for so many of us (and staff at the venue!). Dermot was professional, courteous, flexible and my only regret was that we had to leave the drinks reception to for the wedding breakfast! We are so grateful to him and could not recommend him enough.

Hello Dermot, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye and thank you and Kevin personally. You were so encouraging and made this very nervous singer as comfortable as possible! You were both great and everyone loved the music. Thanks again and all the best

Dermot was excellent, well prepared and very efficient. I would definitely recommend his services and look forward to working with him in the future. 5⭐

Dermot were fantastic. Great performers and absolutely lovely people. We would definitely have them back! They were a hit!!

The performers were brilliant. Ours was a slightly different gig: a St Patrick's Day celebration just in our front room in a terraced house with a small (about 8 people) audience. They played without a p.a system and it was an intimate, enjoyable gig with everyone joining in with the songs. LMM were great: friendly, efficient and prompt with contracts and arrangements. I'd definitely do it again.

Thank you so much for yesterday Dermot! You were absolutely fantastic. Everybody loved you. The music really added to our day. Thank you again.

The booking process was easy and flawless, I particularly liked being able to ring and talk to the agent.
Dermot and his friend are very talented and made the wedding. They played Irish ballads through the meal and then burst into Irish jigs after the first dance. Dermot was flexible and worked well with our DJ. I will love to book him again at some point.

Thank you for the beautiful music you played for my Mother's funeral. It was perfect and totally appropriate. It was so uplifting and although we were all sad it made the day a wonderful celebration of my Mother's life . If she were there she would have been dancing.

Dermot was wonderful last night - please thank him hugely.

Many thanks for organising Dermot for Mum's funeral last Thursday.
He did a wonderful job and his music was perfect.

Dermot added something truly special to a difficult day, being my mother-in-law's funeral, but a combination of his professionalism, artistry and sensitivity made a deep impression on everyone there. On top of that, the speed with which Sarah-Jane arranged things with Dermot at very short notice helped enormously in smoothing the arrangements for the whole day. Thank you!

Dermot played yesterday at the funeral of my mother-in-law, who was an Irish historian, and was sensational. Sensitive, thoughtful, joyful and deeply moving. It was, as they say, exactly what she would have wanted, and was greatly appreciated by everyone there. Thank you!

I just wanted to drop you a note to say how brilliant Dermot and Co. were on Saturday. Everyone had a fantastic time and even those who couldn't dance were laughing and joining in by clapping and cheering. It really was a great night and we have had alot of great feedback.

In the next couple of months I am going to start work on next years diary (I need to forward plan a bit more next time!) and I will definitely be giving you a call to book Dermot again.

Dermot was incredible!! Himself and the two other musicians were absolutely fantastic and were the highlight of the night! They even let me sing with them which was a real honor. Everybody was asking me where i found the band and how they could book them for future parties. Highly recommended :)

Yes it was great thanks! Dermot was a brilliant chap, they even played on a little longer as everyone was dancing like crazy.

Dermot and the band were fantastic, they created a great atmosphere, we were very happy with them.

Hi Dermot

Just to thank you for your and the band's entertainment gig at our daughters's recent wedding.
It was obvious that each band member was a professional both in proficency of instrument and presentation of the music.
I was also impressed with the mix of old classical Irish (re O'Carolan) and the more recent lively musical pieces. Indeed, the songs also exhibited this diversity with noted classics and singalong standards.
It was assuring when the band arrived with ample time for set-up and ready to play on cue.
Thanks again.
Kind regards
Jack

I have been working with Dermot for a number of years and he is always professional, fun to be with and creates a great impression wherever he plays.
