"Kelly's Heroes are highly original in their renditions of Celtic, mainly Irish, music and song. They include; a guitarist who can be a rhythm section in his own right, a remarkable native Irish singer who can move from lyrical traditional singing to a declamatory, story telling style plus versatile and virtuoso playing of accordion, fiddle and banjo. There is never a dull moment when this band are on stage while at the same while there is nothing formulaic about their musical treatments. Kelly's Heroes are utterly unique and brilliant."

"The band played for our wedding and were fantastic, they were relaxed and flexible to fit in with our arrangements. The music was great they are all very talented musicians and the caller was patient and relaxed. We would definitely go to their events in the future and would highly recommend them for any social occasion. Thanks guys"

"Just realized that with all the end of term chaos I hadn't said thank you for getting our picnic up and dancing!! Thanks also for saving the day by arriving early at short notice when Britain's summer threw the best at us (and then some!!) and for being so flexible when things were so up in the air on arrival...definitely all the right decisions were made and everyone had a ball. We've had loads of great comments and I hope you were pleased with how many people joined in at such an early hour."

"The music really did make our wedding reception in July! Excellent Ceilidh that got all of our guests on their feet and smiling followed by a set of real crowd pleasers. Everyone was so helpful and lovely to engage with. Thank you for the wonderful memories!"

"An entertaining and infectiously ‘feel-good’ evening’s singing and good humour. These Bouys have an astonishing repertoire of shanties at their tongue tips and deliver them with an approachable enthusiasm that makes audience participation feel comfortable. They understand the needs of the venue hosts (in this case a microbrewery) and promote these as part of their set. Extremely good value."

Thanks, Jane Bellinger, so glad you enjoyed the set. The Buoys thorough it enjoyed themselves too. It was their third gig at the Cracklerock, Botley. The Solent Shanty Buoys

"We were thrilled to have Unwritten Duo perform at our steampunk-themed wedding. Total professionals! They learnt songs from our favourite bands, arrived and set up early for us. We loved Jo's voice the first time we heard her and they gave a stunning performance for us and our guests. I recommend Lady Rose to everyone. Absolutely brilliant! "

"We hired this band 'Barn With Us' for our Company Summer Party 2 weeks ago, The weather had been horrendous that morning right up until they arrived! Not only did they bring the sunshine with them, they also brought the PARTY! They are so good! They had people up line dancing and joining in, everyone had so much fun. Remko and Lilac make such a good team, and the other band members support them well too. We would definitely not only recommend them, but we would also book them again ourselves. 10 out of 10 for you guys. 💜"

"Open Freeway were absolutely fantastic. They honestly made our wedding day. Communication was excellent throughout and they really took time to listen to us and give suggestions for the day, all of which were spot on. They were really flexible and even did us an acoustic set outside to kick the music off as the weather was nice and we had a festival-themed wedding. I was soooo impressed on the day, every song was played brilliantly and our guests were raving about the music. They played such a great range of songs and made the sets really fun for everyone. The dance floor was full all night. On top of all of that, they were all just so lovely and such a joy to have as part of the day. We could not fault them and would recommend them to anyone. I cannot thank you guys enough for how amazing you were! "

They sang lots of different songs from old to new keeping the ears of our guests entertained ready for more. was absolutely amazing such a talented band would love to have thwmat another event.

"From the moment I stepped into the barn and heard Blue Jewel playing I knew we'd made the best decision. Their music made us and all of our guests smile from start to finish. They got lots of people up dancing and the atmosphere was great. Steve was so reliable through the planning stages, replying to all emails within a few hours. We can't recommend these guys enough!!! THANK YOU so much Blue Jewel."
