"We loved having Jamie play at our wedding reception - it was a very last minute booking due to Covid meaning some of our plans had to change, so we were lucky to get him and he was very accommodating and gracious. He has an amazing voice, excellent repertoire of songs and brought good vibes all round. He even stayed chilled when some of our over enthusiastic guests took the mic to sing their own songs (which must be quite annoying for musicians but he handled it really well and the night went off without a glitch!) Thanks Jamie, and for anyone else looking for the perfect musician don’t hesitate to book him!"

"Ruby has been one of our regular entertainers at Elizabeth House since 2017. Residents look forward to her visits and always enjoy a lively afternoon. They enjoy both the singing and the variety of 50’s dresses Ruby wears for every performance. Ruby has a way of interacting with residents and including them as individuals, encouraging all to participate. She brings a smile to their faces. We look forward to many more visits from Ruby."

"Just to give a huge thanks to you all for the terrific entertainment on Saturday. We had a marvelous time and loved the music and dancing and diplomatic caller. I hadn't seen my brother dance for at least thirty years and more than one wife was surprised to see her "no dancing" husband enjoying himself on the dance floor. "

"Cannot recommend The Shamrock Experience highly enough. Firstly, just a wonderfully good fun and high energy act for people of all ages and abilities. I had 100 guests and all of them were up on the dancefloor, footloose, fancy-free and having the time of their lives. So much joy and laughter and no inhibitions. Ben kept us all in check marvellously! I have had so many comments since about what a wonderful band it was and how it was such a brilliant party. Behind the scenes and in the run up, Ben and the guys were helpful, informative, communicated clearly and in good time, and made the set up and delivery of the event itself so easy that I didn't have to worry about anything at all. Would definitely book again / would definitely recommend. Thanks so much for a really memorable night."

"A fantastically talented and professional duo who seem to enjoy an encyclopaedic knowledge of music from Central and Eastern Europe. Although they are only two musicians they produce the sound of a small orchestra. Igor possesses a very fine voice and his renditions of Moscow Nights, Ochi Chornie and Those Were the Days (among a huge list of songs) are second to none. Sarah is a brilliant violinist and domra player. They enhanced our evening and made it quite unforgettable. "

"The band played at our wedding on 23rd July 2022 and we’re incredible. Whilst everyone was having drinks and chatting after dinner, the band set up with seamless transition and started our evening party with a great set. They do something for everyone, we had the oldies up dancing alongside our young guests, and all having a good hearty sing along. And the Irish twist to the set was so much fun. Something different to a standard cover band. It was this part of the set that our guests still talk about. Thank you for giving us a the best end to our wonderful day. Vickie & James, Wedding at The Worplesdon Place in Guildford – 23rd July 2023 "

"Hi Fiddlestix, thank you so much for such a fun time at our party on Saturday. The band were amazing and Geoff the caller did an amazing job at keeping us under control! The dance floor was always packed and we’ve had so many compliments about you. This is the first time many of our friends have been to a Ceilidh and they all had a great time. Well done and thankyou for such a fabulous night! Keep up the good work. Your music and enthusiasm is wonderfully infectious! Many thanks again. Helen and Mike."

"What a superb band for our wedding party - the guys were lovely, really friendly and helpful and got everyone involved and having the time of their lives! A ceilidh is such fun and a great way to ensure *all* your guests are involved in the celebrations - there were smiles on the faces of everyone dancing, and everyone watching! I cannot recommend this highly enough - absolutely delightful, highly professional, and a total pleasure to work with to make sure we had an unforgettable evening"

"Huw was absolutely excellent – courteous, listened carefully we what we wanted, then provided fantastic musical accompaniment to a big birthday bash……….. Huw’s guitar playing is superb, his voice perfectly pitched and mellow, and overall we would recommend Huw thoroughly – top bloke! "

"We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and all the band, and of course your caller. We absolutely loved hearing you all play again and it was wonderful seeing all of our friends and family enjoying the dancing and music. It is something we will never forget.  We’re sorry that we weren’t running to time on the day, but thank you for being so understanding and I hope you all managed to enjoy some cake and cheese whilst you were waiting to set up.  We will be keeping an eye out for any future dates in your diary and coming along to another ceilidh, think we’ve got the bug! Please pass on our thanks to band, you all helped to make the day very special.  Warmest regards,  Teri and Matt "

"Davie, At last I am getting a minute to thank you and the guys for an excellent evening playing at our Silver Wedding at Meldrum House. The music was fabulous, everything we expected and more! All our guests have been telling us how much they enjoyed the band, even those not energetic enough to dance say that they very much enjoyed listening to you play. We were well and truly shoogled and I know I wasn’t the only one with aching muscles the next day! Great fun, thanks for helping to make our special occasion a huge success, we all had a fantastic time. The only complaint we had was that the party finished too soon!"
