Review Centre: Barn Dance Bands

"Hi Aly, Just wanted to email to say what an amazing night we had at our wedding ceilidh. Everyone commented on what a fantastic, fun night they had. We knew it would get people up dancing but we couldn't believe how full the dance floor was! From people who had never been to a ceilidh, to our Scottish friends, everyone had the time of their lives! Thank you again, and also thank you for allowing us to use your PA system and lights. This worked perfectly for the disco after the ceilidh! We will definitely recommend you to anyone considering a ceilidh. We wish we could do it all again. Thanks, Steve & Sarah"

"We were initially unsure if a Country band would work for our diverse group, but they were phenomenal! They managed to bring that infectious Country energy without alienating anyone. The music was fun and lively, offering something for everyone—no forced line dancing, just a fantastic, universally enjoyable performance. If you're on the fence, book them!"

"F.O.B. Band were amazing! The music was fantastic and the band members were so lovely. We had the best time! The dances were easy to follow and the caller was so patient with us all. We had a five year old and an 87 year old dancing with us which was fantastic. Highly recommend for an event that will cater for everyone regardless of age or fitness."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio / Claire’s 60th Birthday / May 2025 Black Velvet Trio were absolutely perfect for the barn dance we hosted. The trio were cool, calm and professional in their ability to literally herd cats! They were able to bring a huge smile to every face which was always my wish. The musicians were brilliant at just playing wonderful barn dance music whilst we laughed and bumped and crashed about with our two and sometimes three left feet.Our last (came too quick) dance was the Swiss Roll. We all loved it and would be so happy to have Black Velvet Trio back to do it all again."

They kept my guests entertained for the cocktail hour and the whole evening, played our first dance BEAUTIFULLY and kept the night going.

"A great night, and we had a lot of queries as to where we found you and even more comments of how great the band was. Even the staff said you were better than the group they had at a barn dance on Friday night. Thanks for helping us grow old disgracefully."

"Many thanks for another wonderful gig. Life can be difficult at times, but with bands like yours and the music you play, it can me much more bearable. Wishing you all good health and happiness, Slainte, Paul"

"I have been a fan of Kelly's Heroes for many years. I never tire of hearing them. As we say in Ireland the Craics always good at their gig. I think the secrets are they are accomplished musicians no weakness in any department. Hugh range of songs and tunes! Tony who fronts the band makes everyone feel welcomed and encourages joining in the choruses. I would recommend them every time. Cracking live band and with their any CDs you can take them home after the gig! "

"We wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the band for playing at our wedding last weekend. You were absolutely brilliant!! You played some of the family favourites just beautifully and absolutely filled the dance floor for our (ahem – unofficial) ceilidh. We had so much fun dancing the night away. I understand one of the 3 year old cousins asked you to play one of the tunes again – I suspect that is a moment that will go down in family history. Also – thank you so much for all your help before the wedding – I’m notoriously bad at returning phone calls and you were fantastic at staying in touch and keeping on top of communication – I really appreciated that."
