"I would like to thank you for this morning's singing. I felt that you have got a lovely voice! I would like to see you again sometime when you have got the time to come to do some more singing. When you have got some time will you please let me know? Good luck in what you do. Thank you once again from all of us! Best Wishes, Craig."

"We booked The Hornbrokers to open on the main stage of Thame Town Music Festival. This involved a flash mob-type opening from the audience area and they paraded around before mounting the stage to play a great set. This ensured that the festival got going with a bang and everyone was energised by these excellent musicians playing much-loved tunes. It’s also a musical form that is almost never experienced in a festival setting and all the more enjoyable for that. "

"Conor many thanks to you and your colleagues for playing at my 70th birthday party. Your wonderful playing and choice repertoire lifted the evening to another level. You were all exceptional and added to my special birthday much more than you probably realise. Many thanks for your contribution to my night"

"Ceilidh With Us are BRILLIANT. We originally booked the duo to play an Irish/Country set during our reception drinks at our wedding. After chatting with them we then made them an integral part of our ceremony too. They played my wife down the aisle live, played songs during the ceremony and played us out of the room also. In the run up to the day, communication was perfect, we were able to make requests, change things and working with them was so easy! They really made the ceremony and reception and so many of our guests commented on how much they loved the music and the atmosphere it created. Special mention to the two songs our guests sung along to during our ceremony, it sounded beautiful and a huge thanks to both for learning a slightly obscure song to play my wife down the aisle. It was amazing! We can not recommend Ceilidh With Us enough, they are awesome! Book them! We would love to again."

"I just wanted to thanks to you again for all your help and to say that Sophia was literally perfect on Tuesday,her music was beautiful and she added to the dignity of the sad occasion a great deal and she also managed to make the service as beautiful as we had hoped,if not more so. On a personal note,Sophia could not have been kinder to me and I really appreciate that, as does my Mum for everything that she did on the day and her patience before too.I think she is wonderful and was so very kind. Thanks so much again re all to you both."

"I want to say thank you again for a beautiful performance. Your sound was perfect live and the music was beyond all expectations. You did a splendid job and we could not have asked for anything more. All of our guests were so impressed. Having you play during the meal was just the right touch for the evening. A huge big thank you!!"

"Just wanted to let you know how great the band were on Saturday. I don’t think they are used to being in a small marquee in someone’s back garden but they were brilliant, even offering to squeeze into a small space so they could be closer to the dance floor. All of our family and friends loved it and I would definitely recommend them."

"We hired W4s on a recommendation from a friend and were so pleased with the ease of booking and choosing the songs from a wide and varied selection. The band were absolutely fantastic, they even learned a new song specifically for our wedding which was such a lovely personal touch. We would highly recommend W4s for a wedding reception, a very friendly, professional band that sound fantastic and will have everyone up dancing until the party finishes. "

"Silja and her colleagues were brilliant! On leaving, almost all my guests commented (unprompted) that the music had been outstanding and a feature that really made the party. The quartet played without wilting for 4 hours with just a few short breaks which was a huge feat in itself, and we all heard a variety of music that we knew and loved. The range was greatly appreciated, and the quality of their playing was first rate. The planning process was also exemplary. Silja went to enormous trouble to understand what i was hoping for in terms of music, instruments, timing etc and even how they should dress. Silja was very prompt in responding to my messages, and the group arrived in good time on the day. My guests all asked how I had found such a brilliant group, and I'm sure that some of my friends will contact the Rigaudon String Quartet for their own events in the future!"

"Vinyl Revival were absolutely the perfect soundtrack to our wedding reception drinks, in fact one of our highlights of the day is when having our formal photos with both our families we all burst into song and sang along to Clare & Ollie covering Fleetwood Mac! So many of our (quite musical) guests commented on what incredible musicians they are. I’ve recommended Vinyl Revival to so many people, and honestly can’t rate and thank them highly enough!"

"Ceol Beag were superb. So glad I chose them for my 70th birthday party recently, they contributed massively to a great evening. Their playing was excellent, the sound of the fiddles and guitars was lovely and they turned up bang on time. Very pleasant to deal with and excellent communications with Willie. Alison was a good caller to assist the dances for those less experienced in ceilidh dancing. Our ceilidh was sheer fun from start to finish thanks to Ceol Beag. Would have them back in a heart beat."
