"I just have to share how incredible the Agra acoustic Duo are. From the moment they began singing, it was clear we were witnessing something really special. Their voices blended so effortlessly, full of emotion, power, and control — the kind of performance that gives you goosebumps and stays with you long after it ends. But what made the experience even more memorable was who they are as people. Warm, genuine, and so full of heart, they brought such a lovely energy that made everyone feel welcome and connected. It’s rare to come across artists who are not only exceptionally talented but also truly kind and humble. An unforgettable performance by two beautiful souls — I can’t recommend them highly enough."

Being asked to play for a wake is one of the greatest honours a musician can receive. But to be so welcomed and looked after on the day by such wonderful people is a true blessing. We were immeasurably glad to get to meet Carol and her delightful family and friends, and through them, get to know a little more about the incredible Eileen. Thank you for choosing us to sing for you all and let us be part of your celebration to honour a wonderful woman. Much love, Amy and Steve (Agra Acoustic Duo)

"Iron Broo played for our very first wedding at Kinclune House & Estate in our brand new wedding barn. Iron Broo were absolutely brilliant! The wedding party were up and dancing all night. Half of them were not Scottish, so Charlie did a great job of calling so that everyone could join in. I can't recommend Iron Broo highly enough if you're planning a wedding or special celebration! ❤️"

"Beci was the glue that held everything together when the heavens opened! We absolutely loved her playing and we had so many people come up to us to say the same. She has a great ability to play a range of genres and decades doing interesting covers and interpretations whilst keeping her sound, creating a really cohesive set. She was lovely as a person and professional. We would love to book her again. "

"A massive thank you to you and the guys for such a wonderful evening at our wedding in France! You made the evening a night to remember for everyone and all of our guests were raving about you. Even our French neighbours, who had come up for a glass of wine and a 'mosey about', were highly entertained. We greatly appreciate the distance you travelled and the long night you had on Saturday but the wedding wouldn't have been the same without you. Having every dance danced to by guests, many of who had never ceilidhed before was better than we expected, especially with the heat! You were a pleasure to deal with in the months before and on the day, nothing seemed like it was too much trouble. We would be happy to recommend you to anyone considering a ceilidh band as you were without doubt the best, most entertaining and fun band we have come across."

"Kip and the band were fantastic. We had a big Irish wedding with my family who had all come over for the occasion and the band did not disappoint. I requested an extra instrument and we just wanted session music and they delivered in style. I would highly recommend for a fantastic authentic Irish band to keep people up on the dance floor. Thanks so much "

"Unwritten Duo performed at our wedding last weekend, which we struck lucky with as we originally had booked another band but got let down with two weeks to go. We came across Joanne at a wedding fair and when she started singing we knew straight away that Unwritten Duo would be perfect for our wedding. We booked them straight away. The choice of music was perfect for us as well, we gave them a few artists that we liked and everything in between was just us. We had a lot of our guests comment on the band and Joanne's voice. We will definitely be going to see them at their future gigs to keep memories alive. Highly recommend booking them!"

"Open Freeway were absolutely fantastic. They honestly made our wedding day. Communication was excellent throughout and they really took time to listen to us and give suggestions for the day, all of which were spot on. They were really flexible and even did us an acoustic set outside to kick the music off as the weather was nice and we had a festival-themed wedding. I was soooo impressed on the day, every song was played brilliantly and our guests were raving about the music. They played such a great range of songs and made the sets really fun for everyone. The dance floor was full all night. On top of all of that, they were all just so lovely and such a joy to have as part of the day. We could not fault them and would recommend them to anyone. I cannot thank you guys enough for how amazing you were! "

"We had our wedding reception some months after the wedding to allow for school holidays. People had braved some horrible Friday travel to get there, it was very hot ..... and then ........ the band started! The kids stopped playing and all wanted to dance, people of all ages got up and everyone had a smile on their faces. Blue Jewel simply made our evening. Steve, deputising as caller was exceptional creating such a rapport, remembering names and full of gentle banter! Oh and soooo patient with us all. We had ages from 6 to 85 on the floor having fun. We can't really praise Blue Jewel enough - except to give our heartfelt thanks! Book Them NOW don't miss out!!!"

"The Craigi Ceilidh band were excellent. Perfect for my 60th birthday party with all levels of experience and agility catered for. The caller and band made the whole event run smoothly and all the guests commented on how much they enjoyed the evening. Booking the band proved to be a very straightforward exercise with good communication before the event from both the band and Last Minute Musicians."

"We loved The Final Hour, they were truly professional musicians and they have an incredible sound. Andy has an amazing voice and he sang our first dance song better than any version we have heard before! They were so helpful in terms of communication, set up and start times and kindly let us use their microphone for the speeches. The dance floor was filled for their entire set and they appealed to the entire age range of guests at our wedding. I could not praise the band enough!"
