"We’re so grateful to Dave and Rich for making our dads funeral ‘knees up’ a wonderful celebration. The arrangements were very easy, despite the short notice, and they were very thoughtful, professional and accommodating throughout. Their playing was joyous and uplifting, just what dad wanted, helping us to have lovely memories of the day. Thanks so much Dave and Rich, you're awesome 🤩"

"Thank you so much to the whole Cheers band for the incredible music you performed at our wedding. It was absolutely amazing and I cannot fault it at all. A true highlight, with many of our family and friends commenting on it both on the night and since then as well. The musical ability on show was fantastic, delightful instruments and wonderful vocals. Also a big thank you for how easy and straightforward you made the communication throughout the whole process, which is massively appreciated."

"What a great evening we had at the Running Horse last week. We had never been to the venue before and enjoyed a nice evening meal before the live entertainment started at 9pm. What a treat we were in for with some great nostalgic songs professionally performed by the talented Gary Rollagher. I will keep my eyes peeled for his next venue."

"Where do I start. An absolutely fabulous night, everybody thoroughly enjoyed it and nothing but praise for the band and the performance. Jake's enthusiasm as caller and his patience made everyone feel at ease and you have a roomful of ceilidh converts. Thank you again to the lads for being such a huge part of a wonderful night."

"We had a ceilidh for a volunteer celebration. Even before the event Lilac was super helpful with suggestions of what timings would work well and how to encourage people to get involved. The band arrived in good time to set up and we’re really friendly. They were flexible on the night without us needing to intervene and got people dancing again after a break for speeches. The band also included those with less mobility and were great and encouraging everyone to get involved. We had the majority of people dancing throughout the event. I would totally recommend."

"What an absolute pleasure to have Ariana String Quartet play before, during and after our wedding ceremony. They were friendly, professional and wonderful musicians. So many of our guests commented on how lovely they were to listen to. They understood what we wanted and played all the music we asked them to so beautifully."

The facts are that only positive comments were received on the night. My, and most other artists’ fees are clearly displayed on this website. For the record, specific, constructive criticism is most welcome and always carefully considered and evaluated.

"We wanted a brass band to lead our wedding procession on to the reception venue and the band were the perfect fit. They brought loads of great energy and good cheer, allowing us to kick the reception off. They were also able to perform at the drinks reception which went down super well with our guests. If you are after something a little different and want to bring the sunny festival vibes, then these guys are spot on. "

"We had Ramaen play at our wedding, and it was such a good decision. His mellow acoustic style was exactly what we needed to create a relaxing environment for our guests. Perfect for a more intimate celebration!"
