" We hired the Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio for a party, and we could not have been happier with their performance. The band’s admin team reached out prior to the event to make arrangements, and communication was maintained throughout. Set up was quick and efficient in the background of our event, and before we knew it, we were forming lines for our first Ceilidh. It was a mixed group in terms of experience, but Phil delivered clear instructions prior to each dance, and everyone quickly picked it up. The trio are all exceptionally skilled musicians, and the music throughout the dancing was fantastic. We booked two hours of dancing and found that to be the perfect amount of time post-dinner. Black Velvet Band created a fun and lively atmosphere at our event and the Ceilidh dancing was enjoyed by all. We will definitely be in contact with the band for future events and would recommend them to all."

"Mike and I had the pleasure of hearing Antlia Music at Stockport Town Hall wedding fayre, and their performance was nothing short of mesmerising. Their talent and emotion left us in awe, but it was when we visited their website and discovered they also play Bollywood music that we knew they were the perfect choice for our wedding. Their ability to bring such versatility and elegance to their craft made them unforgettable, and we cannot wait for them to be a part of our special day."

"I just want to place on record my sincere thanks to you all for your superb performance on Saturday night at my 50th Birthday Party. We all thoroughly enjoyed the music and didn't want it to end. The dance floor was full throughout the night and with dancers of all ages. - a real tribute to your artistry. Many of us woke up on Sunday morning quite bleary eyed but with so many of your wonderful tunes going around in our heads. You have created many many happy memories. I will not hesitate to recommend you to other people."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Emma’s Daughter’s Wedding – April 2025 What a brilliant evening! The band were exactly what we wanted for my daughter’s wedding and really helped the reception go with a swing. Good music and the caller was great fun and guided us through the dances. Really good communication leading up to the wedding, too. Thank you for a fabulous evening."

"Rachel has sung for our older adults in residential care for the past year and is always very entertaining and professional. The feedback from our residents is always good and we just wish we could afford to book her every month. If you are looking for entertainment for older adults that is excellent value for money then look no further. Thank You Rachel. "

"We’re still in awe of how extraordinary it all felt. We had hoped for something unforgettable at our wedding, but Zenith created an atmosphere that felt almost surreal. The moment they began, the entire room shifted—guests looked at each other as if to say, ‘is this really happening?’ Even my cousin, who never sets foot on a dance floor, was up and moving to one of their reimagined classics. And my mum was in tears during the first dance—it was that moving. The way they guided the evening so smoothly made it feel effortless, though you could sense the artistry in every detail. Since then, we’ve had countless messages asking who the incredible band was. They’re etched into our memories forever."

"Couldn't recommend the band more, they were truly amazing! Funk'N'Soul performed at a corporate party for us, they came with a DJ included which was a bonus. Everyone was dancing and had an incredible evening. Will definitely use them again"

"I hired Kirsty for two of my daughter’s birthday parties. Her 11th and more recently her 13th. Kirsty was absolutely fantastic for both! She took special consideration for each age group, including music choices, games and interacting with the kids to get them all on the dancefloor! She took into account the kind of music my daughter and her friends liked and read the crowd perfectly for what was being received well! Dj’ing at a 13th birthday party is no mean feat but she did an absolutely fantastic job! She has a fun and bubbly energy that really rubbed off on the kids! Even the cool kids were up dancing! She made it fun by introducing ‘dance offs’ and other games that the kids loved! I got some great feedback from parents of the kids afterwards who are now making enquiries for their own children’s parties. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and book Kirsty in the future!"
