"My husband and I had a joint birthday tea dance last week at the Grimsdyke Hotel. Sheldon provided fabulous jazz and soft music on guitar and keyboard during the tea. After this he became our DJ and had everybody up and dancing for 2 hours! I have had so many wonderful comments from my friends and family all citing the great job Sheldon did. I would not hesitate to have Sheldon supply the music for any parties or functions we have in the future."

"Dear Melissa and all the band. Thank you all for the wonderful music at our Saturday Gala Evening. What a way to end a fantastic weekend. You certainly were a hit with our members and friends and also our Entrepeneurs from the London Theatre. Congratulations and thanks again"

"Just wanted to say that Sinead and I are beyond grateful for everything you and the band did for us. It was a day that we will never forget which was finished off in style with such a fantastic band. Not only was the swagger and musicality flawless throughout the evening but we were so grateful for letting people occasionally sing along with the band. Everything was so fluid and there was a perfect mix of everything people wanted to hear, I don’t think the dance floor was empty once! I don’t think we’ll ever be able to put into enough words how grateful we are but thank you for helping make it one of the most memorable evenings we’ve ever had. We will do whatever we can to spread the word about the band but I’m pretty sure all 180-odd guests are still talking about it now!"

"The Shamrock experience were truly brilliant. A really fun, friendly and energetic band who came to play for my family and friends at my 21st. Their playing was fantastic, running a ceilidh which was really enjoyed by everyone. It was the perfect band for the occasion and I highly recommend them."

"They were absolutely fantastic. The dance floor was full all night, and they interacted with guests so well. One of our nephews was invited on stage with them for a guitar solo which he LOVED and was such a nice touch. Can't recommend Straight Up enough. "

"Please can you thank Rory and the band for me as I didn't have chance to thank them personally yesterday... They were tremendous, and several people commented on how it just added the perfect finishing touch to the day. Hindley Hall have also asked for your details and I will pass them on. They were also very impressed with the musicians."

"Totally brilliant at our daughter's wedding! The cello duo made a special day even more special. They played a range of lovely tunes we asked for, even dressed in the colour scheme of the wedding! They moved from the ceremony room, to outside in the fresh air, to the function room, quite happily. Very flexible, extremely talented, happy and charming people. What a lovely sound for a special event. Thank you!"
