"We had the absolute pleasure of having Craic With Us perform at our wedding, and they completely exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, they brought incredible energy, professionalism, and talent to our special day. Their traditional Irish music was breathtaking and set the perfect tone during the early part of the evening. It was authentic, vibrant, and played with real heart. When it came time for the ceilidh, they had everyone—young and old—up on their feet. Lilac explained the dances so clearly and with such fun energy that even guests who had never done a ceilidh before were dancing with huge smiles on their faces. It was one of the absolute highlights of the day! Later, they transitioned seamlessly into their DJ set, keeping the dance floor packed until the very end. They read the room perfectly and played a brilliant mix of songs that appealed to all ages. So many of our guests have told us how much they loved the music and the atmosphere it created. Sound with Us brought something truly special to our wedding, and we can’t thank them enough. If you're looking for a band that can do it all—live Irish music, ceilidh calling, and DJing—look no further. They are phenomenal!"

"Hi guys! I just wanted to say thank you so much for playing our wedding on the 25th May at Murthly. We have had so many people telling us how brilliant you all were. One particular fan is obsessed with the way you mixed some Muse in with some ceilidh expertly..! We had an absolutely brilliant time and you guys are without a doubt the best ceilidh band we've ever danced with! Thanks again and all the best! "

"It is Monday morning and we have just said goodbye to the last of our guests. Everyone, young and old, from near and far, had the most fantastic time and this was in very large part due to the quite outstanding entertainment you provided. You had the knack of getting everyone up onto the dance floor and enjoying themselves enormously. The music was great, the calling was quite the best I have experienced, and the whole evening was perfect, an outstanding end to an already memorable birthday celebration. Very many thanks indeed for all you did. "

"Kip and the band played at our wedding last weekend and they were brilliant! Everyone loved the ceilidh and they managed to get most people dancing. They were also very flexible and understanding when our plan for the day was very behind schedule. We'd highly recommend booking them. "

"The biggest thank you from us both for helping to make the evening a huge success. The smiles on everyone's faces as they were reeling says it all. You sussed us out very quickly and got it spot on. We so enjoyed dancing to you both and the comments in the lovely letters we have received all sing their praises for you both too. I can't thank you enough, you really did help to make the evening very special."

"We've seen the guys perform in a small venue at Donnington race track and then recently at the London Palladium. They are a great sounding team and we thoroughly enjoyed their range of songs!"

"Saw you last night at woodland waters and thought you were fantastic. Sang along with you all night and even got up to do a couple of dances."

"So pleased with this fab duo! They were absolutely perfect for our summer party event, not only can they sing and play but they are friendly and accommodating and their sets are so perfect for the environment. Really would recommend to any function that needs an extra bit of magic. Thank you so much for making our afternoon so memorable. "

"A huge thank you to you and the rest of your band for your wonderful performance on Saturday.  The compliments have been flying in and the atmosphere was excellent.  I hope you got the same sense of satisfaction that I did from seeing so many people, both young and not so young, having a really enjoyable time.
