"Funk With Us providing the band, DJ and PA for our wedding on the 9th October 2021. And they were absolutely amazing. In the lead up to the event, their diligence and patience in helping sort out some issues around sound levels at the venue went way above and beyond what we'd initially agreed with them. They friendly, highly personal service and wish to really understand what we wanted for the day meant we felt really positive and confident going into the day. On the day itself, they were amazing with the band being great fun, really getting involved and making sure the dance floor was both packed and super fun. We would absolutely recommended everytime, these guys are amazing. 12/10."

"We had our wedding reception some months after the wedding to allow for school holidays. People had braved some horrible Friday travel to get there, it was very hot ..... and then ........ the band started! The kids stopped playing and all wanted to dance, people of all ages got up and everyone had a smile on their faces. Blue Jewel simply made our evening. Steve, deputising as caller was exceptional creating such a rapport, remembering names and full of gentle banter! Oh and soooo patient with us all. We had ages from 6 to 85 on the floor having fun. We can't really praise Blue Jewel enough - except to give our heartfelt thanks! Book Them NOW don't miss out!!!"

"We had the absolute pleasure of having Craic With Us perform at our wedding, and they completely exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, they brought incredible energy, professionalism, and talent to our special day. Their traditional Irish music was breathtaking and set the perfect tone during the early part of the evening. It was authentic, vibrant, and played with real heart. When it came time for the ceilidh, they had everyone—young and old—up on their feet. Lilac explained the dances so clearly and with such fun energy that even guests who had never done a ceilidh before were dancing with huge smiles on their faces. It was one of the absolute highlights of the day! Later, they transitioned seamlessly into their DJ set, keeping the dance floor packed until the very end. They read the room perfectly and played a brilliant mix of songs that appealed to all ages. So many of our guests have told us how much they loved the music and the atmosphere it created. Sound with Us brought something truly special to our wedding, and we can’t thank them enough. If you're looking for a band that can do it all—live Irish music, ceilidh calling, and DJing—look no further. They are phenomenal!"

"Iron Broo played at our wedding and were fantastic, everyone commented on how good they were. We had a few guests travel up from Yorkshire so ceilidh dancing was something new to them but the caller was brilliant and the dance floor never empty. Would definite recommend to anyone looking for a ceilidh band and wouldn't hesitate in booking them again for another function."

"Well! Where do I start? Whisky & Ginger were just incredible. I cannot thank them enough. Every single song was exactly what the crowd wanted, and they even played some of our requests (sorry there were quite a few!). People are still talking about how good they were a week after our party. We would recommend anybody who is in two minds about booking to do so. Worth every penny. We’ll defo be booking again! Thank you thank you thank you!"

"Absolutely breathtaking! Just couldn't stop saying 'wow'! So professional with a quirky twist. The music was extremely engaging right from the start and the dancing got everyone up on their feet. I will definitely be booking them for my 'leaving our house' do. (That's if they'll have me!) BRILLIANT XX"

"The band set the tone for an evening where everyone, but everyone, joined in the dancing in our village hall. There was an enormous variety in the types of dances, no fuss about who was meant to be standing on the right or left of their partner and lots of patience when dancers didn't initially get the hang of where to move. And probably best of all they were open to requests for dances outside their normal repertoire. A good night was had by all. Thanks!"

"I hired The Mighty Craic for a private birthday party in November 2018. Not only were the band extremely professional, arriving on time and setting up efficiently, they were also all really friendly. They definitely got the party started, worth every penny."
