"Sophie’s connection to music is deep and undeniable. Her music and words range from deep and powerful to fun and light, with warm and inviting folky tones. I find her a joy to listen to and feel that her accomplished musicianship reflects her spirit- heartfelt, skilful, passionate and free."

"Thank you *so* much for playing at Katrina and Ewan's wedding, judging by all the sweaty faces and shredded feet- you could tell everyone had an amazing time! People singing your praises round the breakfast table this morning. Fantastic as always! "

"A big, big thanks to you and It's No' Reel for coming to play at our wedding in Staffordshire - you guys were an immense success! Everything was seamless, from the correspondence before the wedding to the performance on the night. As we had guests from all over the world, only a handful were familiar with ceilidh dancing but thanks to your brilliant calling and great tunes you managed to get everyone up on the dance floor (even the least likely!) from our 8yr old Australian nephew to our parents and grandparents. We had such a wonderful time and the Strip the Willow finalé will go down as wedding legend amongst our friends! I would recommend you to anyone and everyone planning a party requiring top class entertainment that will be remembered. Thank you again, Lisa and Grafton"

"We had an AMAZING time! The band were incredible - after we sorted out the wind logistics we were off! Everyone has said how amazing the ceilidh was and we couldn't agree more it was so much fun (watching a bunch of English people try to learn the gay Gordon's was hilarious) Thank you so much again!"

"Kellys Heroes performed a Ceilidh and played some of their amazing songs at our wedding in March 2019. We had previously seen them perform in Nottingham at the City Arts Folk Proms, and had initially only intended to have a Ceilidh, though after hearing Tony's vocals, we knew that our wedding guests would love to hear them as well! The entire band are so friendly, helpful and accommodating, and were amazing at our wedding. We highly recommend you to book Kellys Heroes for any events you may have - they will not disappoint! Everyone loved them at our wedding, and are still talking about them!"

"Just to tell you that your performance on Saturday night was brilliant probably the best part of the 2 days my husband and I spent at the Festival. Your 'band' is very talented and we thoroughly enjoyed your music. Well done. "

"Thank you so much to Kelly’s Heroes for performing at our wedding evening reception. They were friendly and helpful from the beginning of the booking process right through to after the wedding. All our guests loved them, they provided a great lively atmosphere, and encouraged everyone to get involved. We had guests who go to ceilidhs regularly, and some who had never been to one before. The ceilidh was suitable for everyone, and everyone said how much fun they had. One of the band members taught us the moves to a first dance ceilidh, which we then demonstrated so that everyone could get involved. It was a slower dance and an ideal start with to get everyone involved and comfortable with the dancing. We went for the six person band with two song sets and a ceilidh, and this was ideal for an evening do. Kelly’s Heroes played a great range of tunes which everyone enjoyed tapping along to even if they weren’t ready for a dance yet! We really hope to see them play again in the near future, and we definitely recommend them for events. "

"I just wanted to write and say a huge 'thank you' for all your efforts on Sunday. You really made the event with your wonderful playing, and it really added that special something! Mother thought that it was wonderful, and enjoyed her day immensely. Unfortunately I didn't see you leaving so I'm very sorry to have missed you. It was all so busy...But we certainly know where to come in the future whenever we need that extra wonderful mix to an event! Thank you again, and I hope to see you again in the near future."

"Thank you Jon, Joyce and team. Everything was superb. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - we got the dancing we wanted and those who [strange people] preferred to natter did so. A few littlies were hopefully introduced to the most civilised form of exercise."
