"We had Thomas perform at our wedding reception and it was the perfect accompaniment to our welcome drinks and I can't recommend him and the Sunny Steel Band enough. A pleasure to communicate with and a charm on the day- the songs, the music, the vibe that Sunny Steel created made it so much better than we could have imagined! THANK YOU!!"

"From the minute they tuned up with ‘oh What a Night’ we could tell the Absolute band were going to be brilliant. We had booked them last minute after someone had cancelled. We couldn’t believe our luck that they were free - someone else’s loss was our gain! We booked the six piece option with fiddle and they exceeded all of our hopes and expectations. Musically fantastic, lovely guys and a brilliant playlist. We got to have input from their vast repertoire, but then handed it over to them to put it all together and take charge. The dance floor was packed all night and they absolutely MADE our party. Look no further than this band - they are fantastic. Sally & Alan Rosser, Birthday Party at a Private House in Buckinghamshire – 2nd October 2021 "

"The Songbirds entertained at my 50th birthday party last Saturday (8th November), in my local village hall, a smallish venue. They brought all their own equipment and set up quickly and efficiently and all they needed was a 3 pin plug. The ladies were immaculately turned out, and were incredibly friendly. They were fantastic! They sang songs that were really appropriate for the audience, and my guests and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Throughout the evening, so many people asked me "where did you find them?". I strongly suspect they will be invited back to my village by others. I would recommend them without hesitation. Thanks again both for making my 50th a very memorable and entertaining evening. "

"Soul Messengers were fantastic, we would 100% recommend to anyone looking for acoustic live music for an event. They played at a party that we held in our garden and were brilliant from start to finish. Communication was great from enquiry right through. The songs and their sound were beautiful, reading the room and bringing great energy and authenticity. They are such a talented and professional pair of musicians - we would book again in a heartbeat."

"Black Velvet Band Irish Duo yet again provided fantastic music at our Christmas party. The duo are so flexible and helpful - this year they played quite a few Scottish reels etc for our Highland Themed Party which was perfect. The vibe was also just right and got lots of people up and dancing. It was a key contribution to the overall atmosphere. Please thank them for me. I highly recommend them! "

"We had the absolute pleasure of having Craic With Us perform at our wedding, and they completely exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, they brought incredible energy, professionalism, and talent to our special day. Their traditional Irish music was breathtaking and set the perfect tone during the early part of the evening. It was authentic, vibrant, and played with real heart. When it came time for the ceilidh, they had everyone—young and old—up on their feet. Lilac explained the dances so clearly and with such fun energy that even guests who had never done a ceilidh before were dancing with huge smiles on their faces. It was one of the absolute highlights of the day! Later, they transitioned seamlessly into their DJ set, keeping the dance floor packed until the very end. They read the room perfectly and played a brilliant mix of songs that appealed to all ages. So many of our guests have told us how much they loved the music and the atmosphere it created. Sound with Us brought something truly special to our wedding, and we can’t thank them enough. If you're looking for a band that can do it all—live Irish music, ceilidh calling, and DJing—look no further. They are phenomenal!"
