"The Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio helped make our event go smoothly with great communication and punctual arrival. The music was well performed and great fun. The caller did a fantastic job of putting people at ease an encouraging lots of dancing and everyone had a great time. At our working event the next day, many attributed the positive mood and energy to the ceilidh the night before, so maybe it is the secret to successful strategy seminars?!"

"The Jonny Kerry Quartet played during the drinks reception at our marquee wedding a couple of weeks ago and was absolutely brilliant. Not only were they entirely professional, but they played a variety of great tunes solidly for several hours straight. We would definitely recommend them."

"We hired Swing Gitan for the drinks reception at our annual Property Management conference in June 2016 after they performed at our office opening in 2014. The booking process was very simple and the responsiveness to our initial enquiry was excellent. The band arrived well before they were due to perform despite and aweful journey! All memebers were dressed professionally and suitable for the occasion. They truly added to the ambiance of the event and we not hesitate to recommend or book Swing Gitan for future occasions as the feedback from our deleates has been fantastic!"

"Black Velvet Ceilidh Trio performed at a surprise party for my wife’s 60th Birthday recently. It was intended to be a function at which people could be fully involved and Boy! Did they do just that! I honestly cannot remember such a function where all of the guests were agreed it was an evening to remember that was also such fun. The whole success of the celebration came from the bands active participation and willingness to do everything possible to make the evening into a night to remember. That, they surely did. Thank you Black Velvet Ceilidh Band. You and the band made my wife very, very happy. She will not forget and neither will I. You are indeed very special musicians and very special people. May I wish you all well."

"We welcomed back Black Velvet Band Irish Trio for St Patrick's Day. They were amazing and really created a great atmosphere for the afternoon with all of our customers singing and joining in. If you want that authentic Irish sound I would definitely recommend this band and will definitely be having them back again! "

"Friday’s sets were absolutely super and the ambience you created was delightful. Angela feels you were the perfect choice for her special evening. Everyone was very complimentary about your your playing and we would certainly be happy to recommend you to others. It was appreciated that making the arrangements and the set up on the day were completely painless. "

"Had these guys along for my recent wedding as we wanted something that would be inclusive for all people attending to get involved in. The band were all that I could hope for. They got people up dancing and laughing, and everyone who attended said how much they enjoyed. Thank you for being a part of our big day :)"

"What can I say? The band was brilliant. Great vocals from Johnny, ably supported by Mike on fiddle and Eddy on accordion. By the end of the night everyone was dancing and calling for more. The band couldn’t get off the stage! I’m keen to book for next year already! (Charlotte Prior on behalf of The Water Poet, Spitalfields, London)"

"I would like to say a big thank you to for your beautiful voice and to Clare and Bruno for the wonderful instrumental accompaniment at Ann’s (Annie) birthday celebration on Sunday. Everyone loved the music and “song list” and we will be talking about it for a long time to come. "

"We had a fantastic experience with Fann Street Hot Club. They were exactly what we wanted, and more. All our guests wanted to know where on earth we had found you! Thank you so much for all the attention to detail, answering the (many!) emails from me, and your gorgeous playing. We hope to hear you play again. All our very best wishes, Anna Copp"

"I just wanted to say thank you again to 'The Swing Effect'for entertaining us so beautifully last Friday. You judged the evening perfectly in terms of musical selection and volume and gave a very enjoyable and professional performance. Our guests very much enjoyed their evening and this is in part down to yourselves."
