Review Centre: Irish Bands

"Everyone said how good the band was and we certainly enjoyed the music too. We opted for a 'package' deal which included a drummer who also DJ'd for us. All in all great music, great service which added to our wonderful night, couldn't have asked for better. They had everyone dancing, embraced some quirkyness and fun and I know our friends have tried to book the band for their wedding, unfortunately the band already had other commitments but i've passed on the bands details to many of our guests."

"The Warm Room at Coleshill Town hall held a VE day celebration party on 8th May this year and was entertained by the most wonderful and most talented Ruby Sings. Not only did she sing in a beautiful voice, her choice of songs, the costumes and engagement with the audience made for a superb day and brought back memories for those old enough and a good old knees up for us all. I’m sure “we’ll meet again”. Thank you. "

"Please pass on my massive thanks to the band for being wonderful! It was great! Black Velvet Band played at our wedding and they were great. Lovely people who got everyone on to the dance floor and kept them there – highly recommended."

"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."

"Amazing night with joyous music from the band from start to finish. Very accommodating for our age span of 8 years to 80 years! Plenty of caller participation to get us all going in fun dances which everyone said made them ache the next day! I heartily recommend them. Very friendly too! "

"I had the best time with the Barn Buskers celebrating my 50th birthday. From the minute I booked them to the moment they had to leave they were brilliant. The youngest guest was 2, the oldest was 85 and everybody said what a fantastic time they had. Knees hurt but cheeks hurt more from all the smiling and laughing. The caller did extraordinarily well keeping us all together. Note to self.....must learn left from right 😂😂 If you are looking for some talented musicians with a flare to keep the party going, at a pace that suits your needs, then look no further. I believe a friend has booked them for their wedding next year, and I for one can't wait to do it all again 🩷 Huge thank you to Judy and co. Truly a most memorable day 🩷🥳"

"Thanks so much to all the members of Absolute for making our wedding reception so great. You were a fantastic band, had the whole crowd up from the very first song and they hardly left the dance floor. Everyone commented on how brilliant you were! Thanks also for the 'Cockney' effort you made, you really went the extra mile to make it such a special and memorable reception. Thanks so much, Ruby and Luke O'Shea, – 27th May 2023 "

"For the third year The Brixham Pirate Festival will have The Extonions playing on the Main Stage. Pirates are a discerning crew and The Extonions had them a jiggin' and toe tappin' throughout their set. HUZZAH!!!"

Thank younRuss , while it lasted under your management, we though roughly enjoyed every moment as did the crowd. People often ask why we are not playing anymore on the main stage, and we have to say, we don't know.

"We booked the Black Velvet Band Gypsy Duo (accordion and fiddle) to play at our wedding celebration garden party in August. Mike and Jase played exactly the music we wanted, a lovely mix of traditional, modern, jazz, Irish and were happy to play requests. We live on a farm and when the duo started up, all our cows came running up the field and stayed close to enjoy the lovely sounds coming from the garden. I have to say, the two were perfect for our garden party and the sound of the fiddle and accordion ringing out into the evening was absolutely lovely and was thoroughly enjoyed by our guests whose ages ranged from six to ninety! Mike and Jase are lovely, affable chaps and we should have no hesitation in booking them again if we have another “do”! I highly recommend them. "

"What a great duo! Kelly and Graham know how to liven up the crowd. Seamlessly going from tune to tune, genre to genre and favouring the crowds appetite! They were so good, we instantly booked them for 2027!"

"We booked mark on Sarah-Jane's recommendation for a 40th birthday party. Mark was professional and friendly and easy going. His repertoire is vast and suited all guests. We were able to leave the entertainment in his very capable hands which left us free to mingle and enjoy every minute. We would would not hesitate to hire him to play again,and have given out his number to several friends. "A BIG THANKYOU MARK" you made our night!"
