Review Centre: Irish Bands

"This is the second time we have booked the Black Velvet Band for our summer ceilidh, and it was such fun! The band ran two different dancing sessions for our international students and were very patient with explaining the dances and encouraging all students to participate. The music was brilliant and energetic, and all three band members were so kind and even paused for a photoshoot with the students. We are looking forward to next summer already. I’d absolutely recommend them for any event/party/celebration!"

"This group totally made our evenings watching them play live. My husband was mesmerised by the grahams guitar playing and I loved Kelly’s singing - all genres from old 50’s to present day hits. They were friendly, had great banter with the audience and made you feel like they were playing just for you. Everyone loved them so if you’re trying to please a crowd or want something more intimate - book them, you won’t be disappointed."

"We’ve loved seeing Kelly and Graham perform at a variety of venues over the last few years so we were delighted when they agreed to sing at our wedding last weekend. They provided four incredible sets across our wedding afternoon / evening: one acoustic and three electric. All were absolutely wonderful! They were happy to work with us beforehand to personalise their setlists and include requests - for which they gave guests shoutouts on the day! The duo are so bubbly and energetic: they got everyone up dancing. Kelly has a stunningly beautiful voice and is able to breeze through a wide range of genres. Graham is a phenomenal guitarist and also a wonderful singer. They brought a huge amount of joy and fun to us and our guests. We were particularly grateful to them for learning our first dance especially for us and performing an absolutely beautiful rendition. Highly recommend this wonderful duo!! 🎤🎸🎶"

"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. "

"Many thanks for making the evening a wonderful event. Everyone had enjoyed themselves thoroughly and had a fantastic evening. Your band really made a difference and was the cherry on top of the event. I have arranged with our admin guys the cheque which has been sent today. Do you perform in the west country at all? Seeing if I can get based back down Plymouth next year and will recommend you to the mess down there. Thank you mac Nov 2011"

"Hi Glen , you were amazing at my beautiful party last Sunday. A big thankyou to you and Paul for entertaining us all at my 70th birthday celebrations! You were wonderful, enjoyed by all. The weather was fantastic and you looked great sat up on your stage. Your repertoire was fab and like I said all my guests and my family thoroughly enjoyed listening to you! Some of us even had a little dance. I was so lucky with the weather, I get very emotional talking about it as I loved it so much and will remember it forever. I have listened to your cd's, they are brilliant! I will recomend you both to all my friends. I hope your journey home was ok and you didn't get stuck in any traffic. A big thankyou to you both, hope to see you gain sometime, lots of love Janet Duddle xxxx Sent from my iPad"

"A big thank you to Mike and the other two band members of the BVB Klezmer band for a fabulous night. This was on the occasion of our Ruby Wedding Anniversary held at Birmingham Progressive Synagogue on Saturday, 16th July 2016. Everybody was very impressed with the quality of the music and you helped to make a memorable evening even more memorable. We would have no hesitation in recommending you."

"We have seen Graham and Kelly on 2 long cruises. They have a fantastic repertoire. Graham is a very accomplished guitarist and Kelly a lovely singer. They have given us some very memorable evenings on both cruises and we are looking forward to meeting them again on our next cruise."
