"Thank you for a truly memorable evening. The group were great and I spoke to them them requesting the song “ the man I love” .Sarah-Jane boned up on it at the break and it meant a lot to me."

"My birthday ceilidh was extremely enjoyable and the band played a large part in setting and sustaining a lively and very jolly atmosphere! It certainly wasn't hard to get people on their feet and dancing and Alan's calling was clear and simple enough to follow, though, of course, not everyone managed to do so absolutely all the time. A great and memorable evening. Many thanks to Black Velvet"

"Listening to this band almost makes you think you’ve died and gone to heaven! Their effortless style makes them a joy to behold. Great for every mood and style of dancing from fun gypsy to smoochy romantic. Love them!"

"We host a diverse calendar of events in our cellars but when Alfonsina Strings play, there is always an extra special atmosphere. The band are a pleasure to work with and provide the perfect music to entertain a variety of guests. Whether they are the centre of attention for our music and wine evenings or adding to the ambience of our wine festivals, they elevate the event to another level."

"We wanted to have a really different wedding, and Fann Street Hot Club was a perfect addition to our 1920s themed day! The music complemented our vintage style beautifully, and really tied everything together. We are also really grateful to the band for arranging our favourite song (Tainted Love) for us - you wouldn't believe how good it sounds in a gypsy swing style! Thank you for everything, we will definitely recommend you to everyone planning a wedding. X"

"Oh what a night it was! Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio was the perfect choice for a celebration. They chose dances that matched the skill and enthusiasm of my guests. Setting the right pace is good when lots of guests belong to a running club! Guests from Hong Kong, Greece, Vietnam China and USA had no idea what they were coming to … The band arrived on time, setting up easily and Phil’s friendly manner of instruction was just right. My 6 year old niece (who is VERY shy) shocked her mother by joining the dancing! Lovely comments from guests: “I haven’t danced like that in years” and ” The most fun and dis-organised chaos I’ve had in ages!”"

"The Jonny Kerry Quartet played during the drinks reception at our marquee wedding a couple of weeks ago and was absolutely brilliant. Not only were they entirely professional, but they played a variety of great tunes solidly for several hours straight. We would definitely recommend them."
