"We were more than happy with the band. It was a great experience for the guests and host, everyone commented on how good they were. They were well suited to the venue and created a great atmosphere. We would be more than happy to recommend Blackthorn and your service in the future."

"The ceilidh was all amazing, couldn’t fault it. The caller worked really hard to make sure everyone at least sort of had a clue what they were doing, and adapted it for when there were too many couples and not enough space! Only complaint is that he almost killed me making me do Strip the Willow line twice with my very enthusiastic husband!! Thanks for everything 😊"

"We booked The Final Hour for our wedding and we are so glad we did, they are a unique and highly entertaining band. Their mix of contemporary, and oldies is wonderful to listen to and it really got our guests up and dancing. Andy has a beautiful voice and the whole band is made up of highly professional and talented musicians. The addition of the saxophone was well worth it and added a further dimension to the already great sound and feel of the music. The band offered to learn a first dance song for us and their cover of Home was fantastic! All in all The Final Hour made what was already an incredible weekend even better, we would wholeheartedly recommend them for any occasion and wish them all the success for the future."

"Oh my gosh! I cannot rave enough about how fabulous they were. They made our wedding reception incredible. They also learnt our first dance for us which was awesome. Highly recommend. Thank you so much!"

"Great choice of material. Mat Walklate’s harmonica playing is astoundingly proficient throughout and Matt Fahey’s vocal take on My Bonny Boy Is Young is a stand out track. It gets my vote for album of the year."

"We could not have been happier with the service that Luc provided on our wedding day.His stunning ethereal music during the ceremony enhanced the mood for us, and was also favourably commented upon by numerous guests. He was professional,courteous and kept in touch all the way up to our big day. We would recommend his services whole heartedly."

"We booked The Good Rebels for our wedding in August and they were absolutely fantastic! The playlist was brilliant, with all guests enjoying what was played. A good combination of classic hits and indie rock. The band were willing to play our first dance acoustically which was lovely, a great option to have before leading into the main set. I was initially quite hesitant about booking, but booking these guys was really one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. It really helped round off our day, they were professional (managing some of our more rowdy guests very well) and really helped end the day on a high. They created a fantastic atmosphere, guests danced their socks off, and the band even signed our polaroid guest book - I loved that they got involved with our day. The band also provided us with a DJ playlist between sets and up until close. Don't hesitate booking these guys!!!"

"We booked Ceilidh With Us for our wedding and we were so happy with them! Lilac, the band manager, was great with communication in the run-up to the wedding - very responsive and understood what we were looking for. The band on the day were fantastic and all our guest had an amazing time! Many of them particularly commented on how impressed they were with our caller Nell who did an awesome job in teaching all the dances to such a big crowd of us :)"

"Hiring a band is always a difficult experience and we could not have been in safer hands with Rich and the band! We wanted something special for the day time so we hired Billy to perform as a soloist for us and then the rest of the band performed in the evening. Everything was so special and the perfect accompaniment to our wedding day."

"Just wanted to send you a quick note to say how wonderful the guys were on Sunday. In the end Martin was able to use his battery amp and the result was just fabulous. We had so many compliments about the performance and it made the whole atmosphere of the event. Thank you so much for helping us get this together at the last minute - you’re a life saver!"

"A big thanks to Mike and the rest of the band for a brilliant evening. Everyone has said how much they thoroughly enjoyed it. A special thank you to Alan, the dance caller. He did a great job – quite a comedian! Finally a big thanks to the band for welcoming our fiddle-playing friend Richard into their ranks for the evening. He said he had a fantastic time. What a great party band the guys make! I’m very happy to recommend them to anyone having a bash."
