"The playing is very good and nothing here is standard fare. Crossing The Ocean is sure to please anyone looking for an album of Irish music that sounds a little different but is still firmly rooted in the tradition."

"Well what can we say! Blu Band were absolutely fantastic arrived on time with equipment set up ready for the evening. They sang lots of different songs from old to new keeping the ears of our guests entertained ready for more. was absolutely amazing such a talented band would love to have them at another event. The only down side was that the evening seemed to go to fast but as the saying goes time flys when your having fun. Would so love to see them again in the future absolutely fantastic performance what an amazing band."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – James and May-Kate’s Wedding Ceilidh – April 2026 We enjoyed having Black Velvet at our wedding party to play two sets of Ceilidh dancing. The guests thoroughly enjoyed dancing to the music after being taught the dances. Even our four year niece joined in with some of the dancing! The band were prompt to set up and we enjoyed the live music. James Battle-Matthews"

"Dear Charlotte, Thank you so much for Saturday night. We had a fantastic evening - I’ve had so many texts and emails over the lats 2 days telling me how much people enjoyed it and how good the instruction from you and music was - we had so many musicians in the small hall, of a very high standard. Excellent. So, thank you so much for helping to make the evening fun, friendly, unique and memorable - and the fabulous musicianship, please pass this on to the band. Warm wishes, Anna"

"Hi Davie, A massive thank you to The Shooglers for playing at our wedding. We were impressed with how you managed to herd 100 clueless folk around the dancefloor and we've definitely converted some to loving a good ceilidh. We're happy to send testimonials if needed. Such an amazing night deserves praise! All the best! "

"The Blaggers' music was irresistibly danceable. Their energetic and extremely skilled performance created a highly festive air. Their interpretations of folk music were as original as it was entertaining. I would not hesitate in recommending this hugely professional band. "
