They played at the company Christmas party. Very professional. The music was fantastic, they got the room involved and so many people up dancing. We have had a lot of really positive feedback from our guests, and will definitely look into having the Shamrock Experience back in the future.

We've seen Ben and The Shamrock Experience before (at a local pub where they were playing) and I asked them to play at my 50th. Communication beforehand was perfect and Ben made sure that he and the DJ were in tune so as not to overlap on the night. The evening itself was amazing, with lots of dancing and enjoyment. Whilst I doubt any of us will be winning any competitions any time soon, everyone has said what a great time it was and how good the Ceilidh band were.

Cannot recommend The Shamrock Experience highly enough. Firstly, just a wonderfully good fun and high energy act for people of all ages and abilities. I had 100 guests and all of them were up on the dancefloor, footloose, fancy-free and having the time of their lives. So much joy and laughter and no inhibitions. Ben kept us all in check marvellously! I have had so many comments since about what a wonderful band it was and how it was such a brilliant party. Behind the scenes and in the run up, Ben and the guys were helpful, informative, communicated clearly and in good time, and made the set up and delivery of the event itself so easy that I didn't have to worry about anything at all. Would definitely book again / would definitely recommend. Thanks so much for a really memorable night.

Book them now you won’t be disappointed, my guests from age 8 to 80 loved this band. The amount of sadness when they stopped playing we could have danced until the early hours of the music licence had allowed ! Ben and the other members were amazing full of energy, coped with having to re jig a smallish space around without any worries. Dances were perfect and pitched at all levels of ability and if you didn’t or couldn’t dance it was fun to watch and tap along. Words from my guests were awesome, amazing, invigorating and the best fun amongst a few. Definitely worth booking you won’t be disappointed- Ben and co please be proud you make people’s nights ? you are a very talented, relational bunch I can’t wait until I’m 60 now as I’ll be booking you again ?

They certainly knew how to get the party started. All ages on the dance floor having a great time. Really know how to engage with the audience and keep the energy flowing. Thank you for a great night ?

The band was brilliant. Could not recommend enough.

the choice of music, the energy they brought to the event was great.

Very easy to work with, and very professional.
Sound quality was great, even though the venue was quite small with hard surfaces, and the band did their homework about setting up and worked with us.

A excellent choice, and would defo use them again.

The Shamrock experience were truly brilliant. A really fun, friendly and energetic band who came to play for my family and friends at my 21st. Their playing was fantastic, running a ceilidh which was really enjoyed by everyone. It was the perfect band for the occasion and I highly recommend them.

Ben and the Shamrock Experience provided us with music for our wedding day and they proved to be the perfect wedding band.

From the moment we booked, we were in contact, meaning we were confident with our wedding music throughout the whole planning process.

Ben provided some beautiful music for the church which suited the occasion perfectly. Later in the evening the band provided a ceilidh that all of our wedding guests loved followed by some traditional Irish music which brought the house down (in a good way!)

We couldn't recommend the Shamrock Experience enough, they truly made our day - thanks guys!

Just to tell you that your performance on Saturday night was brilliant probably the best part of the 2 days my husband and I spent at the Festival. Your 'band' is very talented and we thoroughly enjoyed your music.

Well done.

A huge THANK YOU for making my husband's 80th party and event to remember - everyone really enjoyed themselves and thought you amazing, All trying to think of how they can have an 'event' to be able to book you. My young granddaughter and her friends haven't stopped talking about you either. Shamrock Experience? Super-Happy Experience!!!!!

Ben is an incredibly talented musician. Our venue was too small for the full band so Ben played at the Church and at the drinks reception alone. He composed a piece of music for us, and guests came up to us throughout the evening and even the day afterwards to tell us how moving the music was and how interesting and accommodating Ben was when asked questions about his unusual looking equipment! We loved him so much we immediately booked him to play at our next event. Highly recommend.

Thank you Gemma! I really appreciate your comments and it was an absolute pleasure to play at the wedding and drinks reception. Best wishes! Ben

What a fabulous evening! 120 adults and kids packed into the village hall having the best family fun time attempting to Barn Dance the evening away with Ben leading us all on a charge round the floor! Brilliant musicians, excellent instruction and fantastic humour. We would all recommend The Shamrock Experience for your Barn Dance or Ceilidh, simply superb!

Absolutely breathtaking! Just couldn't stop saying 'wow'! So professional with a quirky twist. The music was extremely engaging right from the start and the dancing got everyone up on their feet. I will definitely be booking them for my 'leaving our house' do. (That's if they'll have me!) BRILLIANT XX

We saw these guys at a wedding we attended and were really impressed. Great energy, interacted brilliantly with the guests and above all else are talented musicians. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these for any party or event.

Attended the Sewerby Food Festival this weekend. Great festival with cookery demos from Wolds Cookery School, but the event was really enhanced by the Shamrock Experience - really talented band which kept the visitors entertained and generated a great atmosphere

This band is suitable for any occasion, the music is fabulous, you cannot help but tap your feet and get up and dance, you feel the passion they put into their playing and it is truly excellent. Young and old will and do enjoy this music, absolutely loved them.

This band is smashing! So lively and interactive. I've seen then hold hundreds of people spellbound with their music and then have them all up and dancing in a lovely way. Well done Shamrock Experience - keep rockin'

I first saw Shamrock Experience at a local beer festival and loved the energy and the music. Have since been to see them play local pubs when I can, never a disappointment and always gets everyone up and dancing. Highly recommend.

Saw the band at a wedding recently, brilliant! Great atmosphere, great music, the guys were loads of fun!

We've seen the Shamrock Experience twice and loved their music. Don't be deceived by their name. They aren't all about Irish jigs - more folk with a rock twist - think Seth Lakeman - esque...
