"Dear Sarah-Jane and Adam We just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your wonderful performance at our wedding. Sarah-Jane, you sang beautifully (as always!) and Adam was superb too. You both really helped to make our day really special and it certainly wouldn’t have been the same without you. I will always remember hearing you rehearse before the ceremony while I was getting ready, it made me feel all warm inside! So thank you so much and all the very best wishes Faye and Phil "

"Kolarides Jazz Duo were absolutely perfect for our event. They arrived in plenty of time and were efficient and polite. Despite the heat, they played for a full three hours with a very short break and the music was absolutely spot on. Many of our guests asked about them and I would highly recommend Martin and Henry to anyone for a similar event. Thank you for making our Golden Wedding celebration a memorable occasion."

"Thanks again for playing at our wedding! Was such an amazing night. All of the guests were so happy with the music and said you guys were awesome! It was such great music to dance to! Also thanks for the way you handled the drunk man wanting to sing Frank Sinatra situation haha! You handled it very well and professionally. And thanks for letting my Dad join in and sing with you guys. We had a blast and wish we could do it all again! :) "

"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"

"I used to manage a cocktail bar in Mayfair and I asked Tom Belbin Trio to entertain our guests for the NYE event. They were the only band and performed the whole night. The event was a success and guests really enjoyed their performance. I would strongly suggest this band."

Hey Marco, thanks for having us at Mr Fogg's, it was great to perform in such a unique and cool venue! Good luck with your next venture, and hopefully we will see you at your new bar for some cocktails sometime soon!

"Black Velvet Band Irish Trio - Cheltenham Gold Cup - March 2025 Absolutely brilliant band - everybody loved them! We booked the band to play at The Three Lions, Stourport-on-Severn on Gold Cup Day 2025 and didn't regret the decision. They came in set up and started playing straight away and immediately the dance floor was full. We were turning people away at the door as the pub was full to the brim! They played to the crowd and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves as well. "

" Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio performed at our Wedding reception. The music was fantastic and Alan the caller talked our guests through the dances with patience and wit. Our guests included some serious Scottish dancing enthusiasts together with a lot of enthusiastic amateurs, complete beginners and no hopers - all of whom had an absolute blast! We would highly recommend the band and a couple of our guests made enquiries about booking them for upcoming events, which speaks for itself. Thank you for providing us with fantastic memories filled with joy and laughter. "

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio were amazing yesterday. Thanks so much for being flexible with the timings when things shifted a bit. Everybody had such a good time. The venue asked for your details to put down on their recommendations list for future events!"

"The trio were amazing and helped us bring the atmosphere to our wedding that we hoped for! Our guests were also super pleased with them and told us to pass on the name of the band for possible future events! Could not have booked a better trio for sure. Well done guys. I will see if any family took photos of the evening "
