"Thank you so much to Kelly’s Heroes for performing at our wedding evening reception. They were friendly and helpful from the beginning of the booking process right through to after the wedding. All our guests loved them, they provided a great lively atmosphere, and encouraged everyone to get involved. We had guests who go to ceilidhs regularly, and some who had never been to one before. The ceilidh was suitable for everyone, and everyone said how much fun they had. One of the band members taught us the moves to a first dance ceilidh, which we then demonstrated so that everyone could get involved. It was a slower dance and an ideal start with to get everyone involved and comfortable with the dancing. We went for the six person band with two song sets and a ceilidh, and this was ideal for an evening do. Kelly’s Heroes played a great range of tunes which everyone enjoyed tapping along to even if they weren’t ready for a dance yet! We really hope to see them play again in the near future, and we definitely recommend them for events. "

"Please can you pass my compliments on to the band for the wonderful job they did on Saturday last. Our guests have been absolutely raving about them! They were so good in fact I think they tired most of us out after 3 dances!! We both really appreciate how organised, friendly and accommodating the band were and would not hesitate at all about recommending them to our family and friends. They really made our day so special, our first dance is one I’ll always remember and the smiles on people’s faces as they had fun dancing “The Siege of Ennis”! Thank you once again."

"What a fantastic night of ceilidh dancing courtesy of the Black Velvet Band Trio. Nobody was able to resist dancing and the guys were the highlight of the evening for all. Thank you so much for making our evening a huge success. "

"What an absolutely fantastic night. I knew you would be a good band from your video, but you were even better than that! Brilliant music with lots of energy. Thank you so much for making Jessica and Andrew’s wedding one of the best days of their lives. Jessica said to me half way through that the dancing was exactly what she had wanted. She was very happy. Unfortunately Roger missed the two of them playing - but we have a great photo - attached. It was a long way to come so I hope you got back OK and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We had lots of compliments about you"

"Banish Misfortune were an absolutely fabulous band that had our customers dancing around the garden from start to finish during our St Patrick’s Day celebrations. They were a pleasure to work with and we would love to have them back!"
