"Dear Sarah Jane, I just wanted to let you know what a brilliant job Mark did for us on Saturday. Everyone enjoyed the music - it was perfectly gauged to the party and Mark was very easy to work with. All our guests commented on what an amazing talent he is. It couldn't have been any better - even the freezing cold evening didn't stop us as Mark moved into the games room and the dancing really began in earnest. So thank you for the recommendation, and thanks to Mark for making my husband's 50th a truly memorable and special occasion. "

"Dermot’s music was one of the highlights of our wedding day. Having moved our wedding from Ireland to the UK due to Covid, we really wanted to capture the emotion and essence of an Irish wedding, and the music and drinks reception were perfect! During our walk down the aisle there wasn’t a dry eye in the house! Beforehand Dermot organised zoom rehearsal with my sister in law so she could sing alongside him confidently during the ceremony and I know she was extremely grateful. The impromptu singalong during the drinks reception was a highlight for so many of us (and staff at the venue!). Dermot was professional, courteous, flexible and my only regret was that we had to leave the drinks reception to for the wedding breakfast! We are so grateful to him and could not recommend him enough."

"Hi Dermot Just to thank you for your and the band's entertainment gig at our daughters's recent wedding. It was obvious that each band member was a professional both in proficency of instrument and presentation of the music. I was also impressed with the mix of old classical Irish (re O'Carolan) and the more recent lively musical pieces. Indeed, the songs also exhibited this diversity with noted classics and singalong standards. It was assuring when the band arrived with ample time for set-up and ready to play on cue. Thanks again. Kind regards Jack "

"Sarah-Jane We had a great night on Saturday. Mark was absolutely superb, he had the place jumping and I have many emails today commenting on how he he was. Also a great guy and happy to do all that we asked. He even allowed me up for a rendition of the Wild Rover! Thanks again JK "

"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."

"We were bowled over by the band! The 2 sets were perfectly pitched to get dancers onto the floor, really good musicianship and sound system. 10/10. Before the day Mark was in good contact and made sure that we had the event we wanted, also early arrival and set up so we could relax on the day. Cannot thank them enough, highly recommended. Massive THANKYOU !!"
