"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."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Emma’s Daughter’s Wedding – April 2025 What a brilliant evening! The band were exactly what we wanted for my daughter’s wedding and really helped the reception go with a swing. Good music and the caller was great fun and guided us through the dances. Really good communication leading up to the wedding, too. Thank you for a fabulous evening. "

"I have seen and admired Kelly's Heroes for a number of years and always find them hugely entertaining. The musicianship and vocals are consistently top quality and their choice of material is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser. Highly recommended for almost any type of event, from pubs to concerts and festivals."

"We had a really great evening. The musicians were very friendly and accommodating. When some of our guests were late arriving because of the dreaded road closure and subsequent diversions, they adapted their sets to suit our timings and many non-dancers were encouraged to get up and shake a leg. Everyone said how much they enjoyed themselves and we would certainly recommend and use them again."

"Funk With Us providing the band, DJ and PA for our wedding on the 9th October 2021. And they were absolutely amazing. In the lead up to the event, their diligence and patience in helping sort out some issues around sound levels at the venue went way above and beyond what we'd initially agreed with them. They friendly, highly personal service and wish to really understand what we wanted for the day meant we felt really positive and confident going into the day. On the day itself, they were amazing with the band being great fun, really getting involved and making sure the dance floor was both packed and super fun. We would absolutely recommended everytime, these guys are amazing. 12/10."

"Jamie was absolute fantastic. My wife and I wrote a very short brief about our song choices and he delivered them brilliantly. Our guests absolutely loved him and he had the dance floor packed on only his 2nd track. It was not only the quality of his voice and wide range of songs but his he added his own very cool twist to some classic tracks. I can’t recommend Jamie highly enough for his professionalism and quality, he definitely added such a positive vibe to the day and was definitely one of our highlights"

"Mark was great - arrived on time and set up before anyone arrived. good sense of humour. He played all the right sort of music that I had asked for-and sounded even better than the clip on-line. All the comments I heard from people who came to the party were extremely positive. Several people asked for details - so there may be more bookings coming Mark's way! I would book him again."
