"Rebecca helped to make our day very special. She was very professional, didn't need any involvement from us on the day (which was really good). She played exactly what we had selected to the highest standard, and added to the whole ambience of the day. We would not hesitate to recommend her and our guests were all as impressed as we were. A truly beautiful addition to a really lovely day."

"To add to the family review posted previously, on a more practical note... Patrick was wonderfully organised, when I spoke to him after booking he'd already checked Google maps to work out how long it would take to get to the venue and added half an hour for delays. He'd looked at Google earth to recce the site, and thought about additional music to supplement what I'd requested. He was there ahead of time, and was completely relaxed and supportive when I was in a big flap about everything. And of course, the music was perfect, beautiful, exactly as I'd hoped it would be. I couldn't recommend Patrick highly enough if you're looking for someone compassionate and efficient to make a very sad event very special."

"We were lucky to have Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band at our wedding in Devon last week. Fantastic band, beautiful music. Such a fun ceilidh that got everyone involved and made our wedding really special! It really fitted in with the relaxed atmosphere we wanted for our wedding. Thank you so much. We would really recommend! "

"Ben and the Shamrock Experience provided us with music for our wedding day and they proved to be the perfect wedding band. From the moment we booked, we were in contact, meaning we were confident with our wedding music throughout the whole planning process. Ben provided some beautiful music for the church which suited the occasion perfectly. Later in the evening the band provided a ceilidh that all of our wedding guests loved followed by some traditional Irish music which brought the house down (in a good way!) We couldn't recommend the Shamrock Experience enough, they truly made our day - thanks guys!"

"Sorry for the delay in writing, but i would like to say a massive THANK YOU for recommending 'Party Sounds' and arranging for them to play at our Silver Wedding Celebrations. They were everything I had hoped they would be, and more. I was impressed that Mark took the time and trouble to keep in touch with me by telephone rather than by email (which can get a bit messy) and to discuss our likes and dislikes about the music for the evening. They arrived on time at the golf club and we just left the rest to them. It was lovely to be able to put trust in their professionalism and knowledge of their clients preferences to play all evening. We had kept it a closely guarded secret from our guests that we were having a band, and they were really impressed and pleased with what they saw and heard. My one regret is that I was mixing and talking with our guests so much that I didn't really get to fully appreciate the band as I would if I were a guest at someone else's party! I am trying to talk my friends into doing the same, so that I can listen to them again. However, whenever I did draw breath, the sound was exactly like they were playing a CD version of the song - I had to keep checking that it was actually Mark and his colleagues who were really singing - and, oh boy , it most definitely was!! So thank you once again, and please feel free to use my words as recommendation to others. 'Party Sounds' would definitely be my first choice of music for any events in the future. I don't even think I would consider hiring a DJ ever again :)"

"What can we say but the most enormous THANKYOU for a wonderful evening on the 25th! You made our wedding reception utterly wonderful and so many of our guests have said how much they enjoyed the evening and the music. My 93 year old grandmother refused to leave until the end and her feet were tapping all evening....she even joined in the last dance and that has to be credit to you. One table of guests had never been to a ceilidh before and said how much fun it was. You already have a couple of photo share recommendations on Facebook! I didn't get chance to speak to anyone directly as it was all a bit mental on the night but I really appreciated your professionalism and hard work. I hope you got chance to have some food....I did ask the team to reserve some! Be assured we will be booking you for our next ceilidh."

"Thanks so much for doing the Ceilidh Everyone said they really enjoyed it and it was a first for most of them, they had so much fun and laughed a lot You were amazing turning up on time, setting up and playing, leaving me free to get the hall organised and enjoy my big day! I felt bad that I hardly spoke with you lot, you did a wonderful job I think you will get a booking or 2 from the event when a special birthday comes up, they’re all wanting to do it again Once again thanks to you and the band Xx "

"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. "

"Please would you be kind enough to pass on our thanks to Jean for last Thursday. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house once she started playing for the bridal entrance! The whole day went like clockwork."

"Absolutely fantastic band! We could not have wished for a better band performing for your wedding party. Lilac was very helpful guiding us trough the booking process and helping us choose the right songs for the night. Thank you so much! We would recommend you to anyone!"
