"Black Velvet Band helped make the Souldern Village Ceilidh a great success. Ours was a Village event with all ages and the Band got all ages dancing. They played superbly and brought a caller with a good sense of fun. They provided music to dance to, music to listen to and an entertainment show all in one! On a practical level they were professionally early arriving, leaving the event organiser relaxed and free to have a drink! Greatly appreciated in all regards. Ian Grey"

"Well what can I say. It was perfect. The three guys were the perfect start to a 40th birthday party celebration (that ended at 4am!? They were friendly and professional plus excellent musicians pitching the right music at the right time ending the sets with the party on their feet dancing. Would like to thank them for making the day a special one that everyone enjoyed fully. Kindest Regards"

"I wanted to email you to let you know how fantastic the band were. The first dance was a magical moment and they were so upbeat, tight and fantastic. They judged the tone perfectly and made the whole evening. What a lovely group - we can't thank you enough. If I have any negative feedback for you, it is that the sample music/info that is available about this band does not do them justice, as we did not dream that they would be as brilliant as they were, which of course is the best sort of surprise you could hope for at your wedding."

"Wow what a performance. Jonny played the accordion at our recent wedding and certainly entertained. All the guests commented on what a fabulous idea it was to have an accordion for a wedding and also what a talent he was. We would highly recommend Jonny for any event."

"What a fabulous party we had with everyone entering into the spirit of the ceilidh! The music was great and the caller was exceptionally patient with the disproportionate number of young men at the party. It was a really mixed crowd – plenty of teens and twenties, through to those in their eighties. The dance floor was full throughout the evening and everyone, both young and old joined in, including the determined non dancers. Several people commented on what a lovely time they’d had. I’m very happy to recommend the band."

"What can I say? The band was brilliant. Great vocals from Johnny, ably supported by Mike on fiddle and Eddy on accordion. By the end of the night everyone was dancing and calling for more. The band couldn’t get off the stage! I’m keen to book for next year already! (Charlotte Prior on behalf of The Water Poet, Spitalfields, London)"

"The Jonny Kerry Quartet played during the drinks reception at our marquee wedding a couple of weeks ago and was absolutely brilliant. Not only were they entirely professional, but they played a variety of great tunes solidly for several hours straight. We would definitely recommend them."

"Twilight 22 were very accommodating and were a part of a 1920s themed murder mystery surprise at my wedding. They made the evening very special and were very friendly and flexible."

"We had a fantastic experience with Fann Street Hot Club. They were exactly what we wanted, and more. All our guests wanted to know where on earth we had found you! Thank you so much for all the attention to detail, answering the (many!) emails from me, and your gorgeous playing. We hope to hear you play again. All our very best wishes, Anna Copp"

"Jonny was just what I was after for our country wedding- beautiful background music that suited our style and theme perfectly. On another note, he has been a delight to deal with from start to finish. I would highly recommend him and would love to work with him again. Thank you so much, Jonny!"

"The guys were great, everyone had a superb time. We’ll have them back next year as people want the event to be an annual thing. Two people asked me to pass your contact details on as well as they’d like to book them for separate events. "

"The boys set the perfect tone to get the day started, easy listening jazz and funk music. All out guests commented how great they were and how they hit the tone of the party perfectly. Very easy to deal with and professional. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. Ben "
