"Hiring a band is always a difficult experience and we could not have been in safer hands with Rich and the band! We wanted something special for the day time so we hired Billy to perform as a soloist for us and then the rest of the band performed in the evening. Everything was so special and the perfect accompaniment to our wedding day."

"We booked the band for our wedding reception back in October. We are both huge Irish music fans and have had several memorable trips to Ireland so it was especially important to us to have a live Irish band on our big day. We spend a fair amount of time looking for the “perfect Irish band” and were over the moon to have found the Extonions. From the initial enquiry Mac was both friendly and very professional. He instantly made us feel like we had made the right decision and was more than happy to include any special song requests we had. He then made sure they included on the night and that everyone had a great time. All the band members were lovely and friendly chatting to our guests and fitted in perfectly with our relaxed party atmosphere. Many of our guests have commented on how great they were and we would not hesitate in booking them again in the future or recommending them to others. Thanks so much for making our wedding day so memorable."

"Thank you both for last night, you were both amazing, I cant really express just how fantastic you both were in a message, but the memories of last night will stay with us forever. Such a great evening for my husband and my friends and family. I hope for my 60th in 5 years that you are both still performing! We have had so many lovely comments on how good you both were. "

"For our Irish/Scottish heritage event that we run in Oslo, we had GDTB Duo come & perform for our group. Everyone loved their selection of songs, some that we recognised + others that we didn't know. The event ran smoothly and everyone had a great time. We'll have them back again next year. Highly recommended!"

"The playing is very good and nothing here is standard fare. Crossing The Ocean is sure to please anyone looking for an album of Irish music that sounds a little different but is still firmly rooted in the tradition."
