Review Centre: Irish Bands

"This is the second time we have booked the Black Velvet Band for our summer ceilidh, and it was such fun! The band ran two different dancing sessions for our international students and were very patient with explaining the dances and encouraging all students to participate. The music was brilliant and energetic, and all three band members were so kind and even paused for a photoshoot with the students. We are looking forward to next summer already. I’d absolutely recommend them for any event/party/celebration!"

"I hired the The Mighty Craic to sing at my post wedding party in a pub. Although id booked them to play early, they had the whole pub dancing at three in the afternoon. They were great Craic, my wife and I couldn’t have been more pleased. The music was great, and they judged the songs to the audience perfectly to keep everyone dancing. Would defiantly recommend them and use them again for the next family event or party."

"We were really pleased that we had booked the Black Velvet band for a ceilidh at our daughter’s wedding at Old Down Manor. Before the event they spoke to our daughter and planned with her exactly what she would like from them, the type of music and how they would organise the evening so that she and her new husband could be ‘danced out’ at the end. On the day the band arrived in good time with all the appropriate equipment for the location. The performance was very professional, the music great and they got all the guests dancing along. The caller’s instructions were clear. So overall we were very happy and would definitely recommend them."

"Jamie sang on our special day and we couldn’t have been happier with the performance. Being extremely flexible, Jamie understood the vibe we wanted for the day and gave us that and more. My guests have commented on how brilliant the song choices were and the atmosphere that was created. We highly recommend booking Jamie for any special days in your life"

"We booked Jamie for our small wedding of 30 initially to break our day/evening up and honestly did not contemplate the effect this would have on our wedding! We really could not have asked for anything more from Jamie! He was fantastic, he really got the crowd going and although we had a small wedding, you wouldn't have known, every single person in the room was up, dancing and singing. It was a complete game changer and every single person at our wedding has mentioned how amazing Jamie was. Given all the restrictions with COVID, it really would have been a completely different wedding, not for the better, had we chosen any other artist or not had one at all and we really cannot thank Jamie enough for the part he played in our day! We would recommend him 1000 times over!"

"Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Bry had also arranged a violinist to accompany him during our ceremony. We had a special (Brazilian) song request for the ceremony which was performed so beautifully and it was no issue for Bry to learn it for us. Thanks a million for that and for all the other song requests too. Nothing seemed a bother and it was a pleasure working with you. The band and DJ were so professional and got the crowd going for the night do. Everyone was buzzing and we got so many compliments about the music. Unreal! 100% recommend. "

"The absolute best group you could ever have at your wedding. Lilac and Remko are musical masterminds and they helped our wedding be the biggest party in town. You have to book them! Lilac and Remko rock! Absolutely one of the highlights of our day was seeing a kick-ass 8 piece get the whole room dancing to our Motown-inspired playlist. They helped with curation to ensure we picked the right floor-fillers and chucked in a couple of modern classics and a vocal cameo from one of our guests in, too. We really can't recommend them enough. Everything was smooth and our day was honestly even better because of them."

"Lucy and Jack were amazing at our wedding. Everything we could have hoped for. They were great at learning my song requests for the whole day. Very reasonably priced for the incredible service they provide. Intimate and happy atmosphere created by their beautiful voices and musical talents! Completely perfected the musical genres we wanted of modern country and pop, with couple of older songs too. For any brides out there I highly recommend Lucy and Jack, and to have live singer whilst walking down the aisle, it was one of the most memorable parts of my day."

"Arrived on time and had set up as instructed. Dress code was very good and very appropriate for my father's funeral. The capability of the duo was excellent, and was played with feeling, all round was excellent, couldn't fault them."

"A “big thank you” to the band for a wonderful, memorable day that made our wedding day unforgettable! Everyone enjoyed the music and the dancing. Even the left footed miseries got up to have a go, driven by your music and the attitude of the band. Pete particularly loved “The Greenfields of France” and “The Tweed”. He’s been singing them for days, driving me crazy! We can’t think of any one else that would have made our day so wonderful, (except Rod Stewart in person for Sue!), so thank you once again. It would not have been the same without you all! We look forward to seeing you soon. Meanwhile, keep up the good work!"

"Just wanted to drop a quick email and say thank you so much for sourcing the Mighty Craic for us for our wedding day, they really were just what we were after. Josh and the band were great on the day, really professional and gave us just what we were after!"

"They were awesome, they were on time, they made sure the dance floor was big enough, helped sort the running order of the night but most importantly the music, vocals and calling were faultless. They made sure we had a great night, much fun and it was unforgettable! Thank you Kellys Heroes, thoroughly recommend you!"
