"Over the years we have seen many musical performers but these two are amazing. They are both extremely talented performers. Kelly has an amazing voice that is really flexible from rock, slow ballads to musicals. Graham is an extremely talented guitarist and as a guitarist myself I would give my right arm to be half as good. They really made our cruise, every night for a month and the material varied every night. I will definitely be in touch. If for nothing else but to thank them. Thank you guys."

"The booking process was very simple and Mark was really helpful and communicative during the lead up to our event. He was really open to listening to our brief and ideas, and sharing his own to make for a great event! Everyone really enjoyed the evening."

"Perfect!! You had everyone up on the dance floor which was full of smiling faces and you managed to make one little boy very, very happy when he was able to sing Danny Boy with Tony. Thank you so much."

"Adam was really good throughout the booking, responding to emails quickly, providing an extensive set list to pick songs we definitely wanted, ones we didn’t mind either way and ones we didn’t want. He also sent a test clip singing our first dance song to see if we wanted the track or the band - we definitely wanted the band! The band were so good and kept a full dance floor all night, throughout their sets and DJ’ing. They had a friendly and professional attitude. Thanks so much! Ellie & Tom"

"So that’s two weddings, a family reunion, a charity fundraiser AND we have recommended you to our friends for their daughters’ wedding. We’re thinking about getting divorced and remarrying just so that we can have you play again for us."

"This group totally made our evenings watching them play live. My husband was mesmerised by the grahams guitar playing and I loved Kelly’s singing - all genres from old 50’s to present day hits. They were friendly, had great banter with the audience and made you feel like they were playing just for you. Everyone loved them so if you’re trying to please a crowd or want something more intimate - book them, you won’t be disappointed."

"Amazing night with joyous music from the band from start to finish. Very accommodating for our age span of 8 years to 80 years! Plenty of caller participation to get us all going in fun dances which everyone said made them ache the next day! I heartily recommend them. Very friendly too! "

"Dear Mike, Jason and Terry (in no particular order) Thank you so much for your part in a lovely evening. I realise now what a creative act a barn dance is, requiring co-operation (co-ercion??!) (gently done!!) from all sorts of assorted people. We had a fabulous time, and I shall treasure the looks of thorough enjoyment on each of the dancers’ faces. "

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – James and May-Kate’s Wedding Ceilidh – April 2026 We enjoyed having Black Velvet at our wedding party to play two sets of Ceilidh dancing. The guests thoroughly enjoyed dancing to the music after being taught the dances. Even our four year niece joined in with some of the dancing! The band were prompt to set up and we enjoyed the live music. James Battle-Matthews"

"Black Velvet Band Irish Duo – Anniversary Party – April 2025 Very talented musicians, accommodating in choosing the music. Everyone was impressed and enjoyed the evening. A number of people have asked me who the band was for potential future bookings – I think that speaks for itself. Based on their performance and what people told me after the gig, I’m sure it won’t be their last visit to Malvern!"
