"Fabulous band. Mike and the guys were very easy to work with, straightforward and pleasant. I’d have them back in a heartbeat. They really made the evening go with a swing and as a musician myself, I can attest that they are really first rate musicians. "

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Viv’s 50th Birthday Ceilidh – January 2025 We had an amazing evening. Dan, Ned and Heather were brilliant. Firstly Dan was incredibly helpful and reassuring when I spoke to him a few weeks in advance. He was very relaxed but also incredibly reassuring that it would be fun and go well! He was very warm and I felt ‘everything would be alright’! They came very promptly and set up very unobtrusively. The music was perfect and Ned was a fantastic caller. He drew people in so well and had a very relaxed manner, he made it very enjoyable. Dan on the guitar and Heather on the fiddle were excellent! We had a fantastic evening of dancing with them. So many of our guests commented on how they made it such fun. They made it a great success. I highly recommend them."

"The Tzigauners were fantastic. Their music had everyone grinning and tapping their feet before guests had even started their champagne, setting the mood for the rest of the evening. Completely self-sufficient, professional, friendly and, of course, superbly talented. Thank you!!"

"Many thanks to Johnny, Mike and Jase for a fine dose of the "craic" for St Pats! What a grand performance - everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Great singing combined with jigs and reels to get everyone dancing. We can't wait to have you back again! "

"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!"
