"House of Chords, you were fabulous at the Marie Curie West Midlands Hospice ball earlier this month. A pleasure to work with from start to finish, and the guests absolutely loved dancing to your music. Thank you so much for all your support and for helping us to produce a great night for all the guests. No hesitation in recommending you to anyone looking for a band for their event or party!"

"Thanks again for yesterday – there was such a lovely atmosphere and the music and calling were great. Someone commented on it being ‘advanced barn dancing’ Smile Lots of people said how marvellous you all were. And also I really appreciated Ray’s (or is it Roy – sorry, forgotten) changes to the words to accommodate the range of dancers and couples and reducing the gender specificity – it felt much more accessible to me and there were also comments from others saying how much they appreciated being able to dance as two people and not be concerned about who was who or ‘dancing as’ etc."

"Huge thanks to the band who played at our wedding in September at Rudby Hall! They were great from start to finish. They covered our first dance brilliantly and from then on the dance floor was full! The band knew exactly how to get the party going and we didn’t want it to end! All of our guests have commented on how much they loved the band too! Thank you! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a band for their wedding or other event!"

"We wanted to say thank you to The Northern Reel Collective for our fantastic wedding reception. We thoroughly enjoyed it. There were many there who had never taken part in a ceilidh before and said how much the enjoyed it. "

"Hi Ben Thanks very much. We’d like to say how fantastic we thought you were, you sounded brilliant and looked very dapper too. Everyone commented on how great you were and we were so pleased we chose you for our wedding day! You really made the day special for us. Thanks for accommodating the iPhone playlist too. All the best Carli & Markus "

"I've had the tremendous good fortune to have been asked to call ceilidh dances with Kellys on numerous occasions. It's never difficult to get people up on the dance floor once Helen kicks off on the accordion, and when Steve's driving rhythm guitar comes in, coupled with Tony's pounding bodhran, the only 'problem' is getting people to sit down and have a breather between dances! And when you get Simon and John bumping it up to a 5-piece with fiddle and banjo (plus various pipes and whistles) well, all I can say is "Hold on to your socks!""

"Just wanted to say thank you to the Black Velvet Irish Band. For the second year in a row, Eddy, Mike and Johnny were an absolute crowd pleaser and everyone had a brilliant time on St Patrick’s Day at The Water Poet in Spitalfields, London! Charlotte Prior"

"We booked the trio for our son’s wedding last month and they were awesome, the music was first class and they were really nice guys. They created a really nice atmosphere and even did a couple of requests!"

"Their music feels like a dazzling escape into a world where people dance on tables with roses between their teeth."
