"It was such a special day for us and Duncan playing our favourite songs during the ceremony helped create the perfect atmosphere. In the run up to the wedding his communication was excellent and he certainly settled our nerves thanks to his confident, friendly manner. The songs we chose weren't typical of wedding ceremonies but he played them beautifully. He was smart, punctual and very professional. We will definitely book him for future events and would recommend him to anyone. "

"I cannot say enough about how fantastic Danny was at our wedding. We were let down 3 weeks prior to our date, not for the first time, and I had lost faith in anyone being professional and reliable at this point. Even though Danny had a previous booking on our date, because ours was an earlier time slot, he willingly accepted our booking. I had a specific aisle song that I wanted playing outdoors and after waiting 18 months to hear it from our previous band, Danny had the first audio draft sent to me within 2 days. Upon hearing the first sentence of 7 words I was in tears, and knew that this was our version of the song. Danny was sat on a log stump outdoors with just his guitar playing to our guests as they arrived, and as I began walking through the field he sang the perfect rendition of our song. He then played another set to welcome our guests inside the tipi and everything was perfect. We didn't have a lot of time to chat on the day, but the music I could hear and the happiness of our guests said everything we needed to know. Danny is not only a very talented musician with a stunning live vocal, but also very down to earth but very professional. I'm not sure what event I will need entertainment for again in the future, but if I do, this is who I will be booking."

"Matt is one of the best performers we have had at the hospital and has been several times. His vocal skills, versatility and audience interaction are fabulous ♥️ I am sure we will see him again on many occasions. Everyone really enjoyed his performance and it is always a good turnout when he comes."

"booking swing gitan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! the guys played during the drinks reception and I dare say it was one of the highlights of the day. Elliot was very professional throughout the booking process, which was quick and simple I've been a Django and manuche jazz music fan for a long time and seen some excellent players in Paris and Berlin and these guys were some of the best. HIGHLY recommended "

"After Dark headlined our garden festival HogFest and they were fantastic. Their song list ensured that everyone was up on their feet from the off. Amazing night and have already rebooked them for Hogfest 4 - 2018."

"‘I saw Henri and his band at a recent party; they are all clearly talented musicians and a cut above the typical party bands I’ve seen over the years. Great setlists that got the party on the dance floor and kept them there all evening. Henri is a natural frontman with a great voice, I’d highly recommend them to anyone!’ "

"We hired these guys for our wedding. The girls sounded amazing and the whole band were so slick. The sound was at just the right level, loud enough to enjoy but not too loud that we couldn't speak to people in the next room. They were extremely kind and a pleasure to deal with even allowing the youngest wedding guest to play with their tambourine. I would love to do the whole wedding again and i would hire them again. Maybe my next big birthday party! Thank you all for making our wedding end on a fabulous note. Andrew & Lisa Cook x"

"First of all a massive thank you to Starbound lads!! They helped make our day even more special, even if the weather wasn't that great. Everything from the initial correspondence to the final song was effortless and professional. The song we had asked them to learn, chase and status - alive, was a difficult song to learn however, it sounded even better than the original!!!! A lot of our guests asked what the song was and commented on how good it sounded!! The rest of their performance was of a similarly high quality. The band had great interaction with the wedding crowd and the dance floor was never empty! Everything was exactly as we could have hoped and better. I would highly recommend this band to anyone wishing to add to their special day. Thank you so much gents! "

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Emma’s Daughter’s Wedding – April 2025 What a brilliant evening! The band were exactly what we wanted for my daughter’s wedding and really helped the reception go with a swing. Good music and the caller was great fun and guided us through the dances. Really good communication leading up to the wedding, too. Thank you for a fabulous evening. "
