"My wife and I booked The Mighty Craic full band for our joint 40th birthday party. Josh was a pleasure to deal with in terms of the arrangements etc and when the big night came the band absolutely stormed it for us. I'd been keen to find a band that would have a broad appeal as we would have family and friends of all ages celebrating with us. The band treated us to a perfectly judged mix of popular irish songs and contemporary pop hits done The Mighty Craic's style. If you want a tight, professional, really entertaining irish band for your party then you've found them. Guaranteed to get your guests dancing, smiling and singing along. Top craic! "

"We can't thank Midnight Rumour enough. We booked them as our wedding band, and we are so happy we did. They smashed it!!! They were incredible and all of our guests had so much fun. The whole band are very talented and Janelle's voice is stunning, one of the best I have ever heard live. The song choices had everyone dancing and enjoying themselves, we had so many of our guests saying how brilliant they were. They also learned songs we requested such as our first dance, and again they smashed it. Midnight Rumour played a massive part in making our day so special, thank you so much!"

"Love For Sale were the perfect accompaniment to our celebratory event and made hiring a band one of the easiest and most pleasant experiences. Conversation was smooth, with nothing too much trouble and they were more than happy to work around our schedule. They were able to read the room well, and played accordingly. We received a great deal of positive feedback about the music, and the band were a hit with all our guests and they really did elevate our evening to the next level. Their flexibility, positive attitude and willingness to please make them suited to any occasion and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again. In fact, I rather look forward to next year’s event in which I fully intend to have them back – if they’re free! "

"Black Velvet Band provided a five piece ceilidh band and caller for the finale of the Hawkins’ team building event. We thought the room would be too big – but we were wrong! The band brought an absolute gem of a caller, who read the crowd perfectly and the dance floor was full throughout the evening. We could have done with a larger space! The band was superb and the event was enjoyed by all concerned. I thoroughly recommend the band."

"We had this trio for our wedding ceremony and it’s a moment I’ll never forget. The singing, the musicians, 5*"

"GG is an outstanding performer, energetic, passionate and soulful with a wonderful voice, our guests really enjoyed her smooth blend of Motown and rnb classics and we can't wait to have her back again! Very punctual, reliable , offered a set list to us but we gave a rough brief of the vibe we wanted and left it to GG who totally wowed with her selection of songs and couldn't do enough to make sure we were happy - Thanks Gloria - a true artist.

"We hired Danny to play our private party. We had loved what we heard from his profile, but nothing prepared us for how exceptional he was on the day. Professional, friendly and very understanding in the face of some fairly strange antics going on from some of the guests (we were all dressed as prawns). To top it all off, when we were quoting Fry & Laurie sketches after he'd finished, he joined in with us. I'd be tempted to adopt him if I didn't already have three kids of my own. What an amazing guitarist, singer and all round entertainer. Thanks Danny!"

"We absolutely loved having the Ebor Quartet play at our wedding ceremony. Communications in the lead up to the day were very professional and Conor was incredibly accommodating. They had an extensive set list for us to choose from - from classical pieces to more modern classics - and even agreed to add a new piece to their repertoire for me to walk down the aisle to. We received many compliments from our guests about how special it was to have a string quartet playing - they really were a perfect addition to our day and we’d thoroughly recommend them. Thank you all again :)"

"We want to see a massive thankyou to you and the other 3 boys for making our party a brilliant night. Everyone had a great time and a lot of that was down to you 4. Hope you had a good time too. We also want to apologise for not buying you all a few drinks throughout the night. I think we just got a bit caught up in the moment & it went out our heads. I'm so sorry. Thank-you all once again. Gillian & Karl"
