"We booked Oscar and Dom for our wedding ceremony and reception. They agreed to travel down for the day and also learnt some song requests specifically for the day and played throughout the afternoon during the drinks reception. It was absolutely magical. I couldn't recommend them enough and if we ever have an event in need of musicians again, I know who to ask for!"

"Well what can I say. It was perfect. The three guys were the perfect start to a 40th birthday party celebration (that ended at 4am!? They were friendly and professional plus excellent musicians pitching the right music at the right time ending the sets with the party on their feet dancing. Would like to thank them for making the day a special one that everyone enjoyed fully. Kindest Regards"

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Janet’s 69th Birthday Ceilidh – June 2025 Oh what a night it was! Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio was the perfect choice for a celebration. They chose dances that matched the skill and enthusiasm of my guests. Setting the right pace is good when lots of guests belong to a running club! Guests from Hong Kong, Greece, Vietnam China and USA had no idea what they were coming to … The band arrived on time, setting up easily and Phil’s friendly manner of instruction was just right. My 6 year old niece (who is VERY shy) shocked her mother by joining the dancing! Lovely comments from guests: “I haven’t danced like that in years” and ” The most fun and dis-organised chaos I’ve had in ages!"

"Florian & Ezio created a wonderful vibe at our wedding. Their blend of recognizable modern and classic songs suited the reception perfectly. They were professional and talented, and we were so happy to have them as part of our day!"

"A fantastically talented and professional duo who seem to enjoy an encyclopaedic knowledge of music from Central and Eastern Europe. Although they are only two musicians they produce the sound of a small orchestra. Igor possesses a very fine voice and his renditions of Moscow Nights, Ochi Chornie and Those Were the Days (among a huge list of songs) are second to none. Sarah is a brilliant violinist and domra player. They enhanced our evening and made it quite unforgettable. "

"Beautiful music, just what I wanted for my birthday. The music was heartfelt and expressive. Although it was background music, it was definitely appreciated and enjoyed! Thanks again. "

"The Tziganers were incredible! Absolutely wonerful musicians with really great musical style and flair! They really added so much to the champagne reception for our wedding and we cannot recommend them enough. Our guests were raving about them! Thank you so much to Alex and all the band."

"Superb musicians! Very atmospheric music which is great as background music but equally (in our case) suited to getting everyone whirling around on the dance floor with fast paced gypsy jazz numbers! Really made my party go with a swing and I can't recommend these guys highly enough. Thank you so much."

"Thank you so much, Fann Street Hot Club, for your beautiful playing at our wedding on 13th August. All our guests said how much they loved the music, and we're so glad we chose you for our reception. Thank you for everything, from helping us feel confident about our choices, to the absolutely wonderful performances on the day! We will always remember how special our day was, and think of the music. Dani and Ferg x"

"lack Velvet Band Hoedown Trio were so much fun! We booked them for our first Barn Dance and were unsure of how it would work. They fully put our minds at ease as everyone got stuck into the fun! Prompt, professional and organised. Easy to work with and enjoyable to have at our public event. 10/10 thanks guys! "

"Please pass on a huge thanks to the band for last night! They got the crowd going and kept them under ‘control’ with a brilliant blend of instructions and banter even as we inevitably got a little rowdier towards the end. I will definitely recommend to others and keep details for future events. Kevan Cameron: Swinton Barracks (15th Signal Regiment, Royal Corps of Signals, 22 Engineer Regiment & 26 Engineer Regiment)"
