"I've seen Paddy a few times at my local pub. A fantastically talented entertainer. He is really accommodating to any requests and really revels in the banter which goes along with a Glasgow gig. Always a great watch, highly recommended. "

"We have seen Graham and Kelly on 2 long cruises. They have a fantastic repertoire. Graham is a very accomplished guitarist and Kelly a lovely singer. They have given us some very memorable evenings on both cruises and we are looking forward to meeting them again on our next cruise."

"St Patrick's night at the Old Fire House Exeter was electric last night. The Extonions were well on form and had the place buzzing. Mac on his green electric fiddle raced away with jigs getting faster and faster, I'm surprised his fiddle didn't catch fire. Mike sang in his sexy Hank Marvin deep gravel voice with a lovely Irish twang. That got the ladies swooning. John swapped with ease from 6 to 12 string guitar and kept up a driving beat together with fingers flying over the strings to create a magical sound. James maintained the foundation of the band with solid bass. The place was so packed it was like how many people can you get in a telephone box, they just kept pouring in. There must have been hundreds at the gig. Feedback said it was the best St Patrick's venue in Exeter that night and greatly down to The Extonions. I highly recommend you don't miss their next gig."

So sorry for this late reply but we have been busy. We loved playing there although mature talented experienced musicians the younger audience went wild and like you said thought it was the best St Patrick's Night Exeter in Exeter. Mac 🙂 🎨 🎻

"Wow, What a fantastic duo! Kelly and Graham came and played at our wedding reception and we were thrilled to have them join us. Kelly has amazing vocal skills, that paired with Graham and his amazing guitar skills just made the evening perfect! From initial enquiry to the big day, communication has been so good. We were asked if there were any special requests, which there was one. Kelly and Graham learnt the song we requested and it was brilliant! So many of our guests asked where we found you, and we have passed your details on. Thank you so much for making our evening so special!"

"Wow what a night, such a good party! It takes Two were just marvellous. There was plenty of contact before the party asking us what we wanted, they arrived in plenty of time to set up and their music just right, a variety of old and new with some guitar solo’s...plus Kelly voice is wonderful. We would highly recommend them, they are very professional, good value for money and really get the party going. Thank you both so much."

"What can I say? If you are a fan of Irish music, instrumental or with vocals then Dermot and the rest of the amazing musicians are who you need to hire! They were an absolute joy and a pleasure to have play at my beloved father's wake. They are such lovely and friendly people as well as fantastic musicians with a vast array of instrumentation between them. They graciously accepted requests prior to the event and also from some of the guests. My dad would have absolutely loved it and it made a very sad day very joyful and comforting for everyone. Our guests commented on how wonderful they were and the pub staff as well. I highly recommend hiring Dermot and the gang for any event, not just a wake. Communication was excellent before hand and hiring Dermot and the band were the easiest part of the many arrangements that we had to make when organising our dad's funeral and a wake. We sincerely thank you and highly recommend you, The O'Brien family."

"Black Velvet Band Irish Duo performed at my Mum’s surprise 70th birthday. We loved the performance and didn’t want them to stop! The party was a huge success and the excellent music really helped to create the atmosphere. Thank you very much, guys! "

"We just wanted to make sure to tell you how much we enjoyed Mark's performance on the night and his approach to ourselves and also our family and friends. Mark was extremely welcoming, calming and easy to speak with. He seamlessly slotted into his pre, mid and post sessions and then continued to play great tracks for absolutely as long as he could. That our family and friends were still calling for more was an honest response to their enjoyment,we know because his playing kept us both on the floor dancing perhaps more than mingling as we should! We wish him all the best in the future and we are sure many more couples and parties will be the better for his contribution too."

"I found Mike very helpful when arranging the requirements for the party. The music was of a good standard and the caller was very good at getting people involved in the dancing. I would happily recommend the band to others."
