"Near Nashville played at our evening wedding celebration and I must say, they were even better than I could have imagined! Kier & Dave have amazing voices, and they were a top quality band! Everyone commented on how good the band were! Thank you so much for making our day so special, country style of course!"

"Huge thank you to you and the band for the brilliant performance at our wedding. Tupelo Honey was perfect (although I fear there will be limited opportunities for re-use for you!), I loved Sally Maclennane, it was great to see a lot of people who probably haven't danced in years hit the dance floor, and Nicole particularly enjoyed being the guest drummer on Mustang Sally. We had a lot of people saying how excellent the band was."

"I couldn’t recommend Kirsty enough for an event or wedding. She was amazing from start to finish, great communication and totally got the kind of vibe we wanted for our wedding. She arrived on the day and set up super smoothly. She knew exactly what to play and when and the from the first dance the dance floor was a hit. She was great fun behind the DJ booth as well. Music was such an important part of the day for me and Kirsty absolutely delivered and more! I was 5 months pregnant at my wedding and I think I danced more than anyone else the music was that good."

"We absolutely loved having Kirsty at our wedding. Her performance was fantastic, we had a band on before her and it was a tough act to follow - but she managed it tremendously. She was brilliant at quickly figuring out what got the wedding party dancing the night away and was always on top of where to take it next. Along with a great performance, her communication was absolutely superb before the event. She spent time going through what we wanted to get from the set, what our music tastes were, what we did want to be played (and did not!) and so much more. On the night Kirsty worked around lots of timings and was hugely flexible. Above all, she is a really nice person who we just felt throughout wanted to do all she could to help make our night even more special. Talented and highly recommended"

"Black Velvet Band Hoedown Trio / 7oaks TriClub Hoedown Barn Dance / November 2024 The Black Velvet Hoedown Trio were superb on Saturday 16th November for our annual 7Oaks TriClub dinner dance. We had 50 members turn up at the Chipstead Sailing Club Clubhouse, and I can tell you that as soon as Mike and his band started playing the first set, everyone got up to dance! There were high levels of energy in the room and the Hoedown Trio rose to the occasion spectacularly, matching our enthusiasm and giving us little anecdotes on the history of the dance with instructions as we cooled down and grabbed a different partner. The band were duly fed and watered with a delicious Greek buffet, and by special request they played a Greek dance to thank the chefs. I think Black Velvet were stunned with the energy levels and full dance floor - and there was no slacking from music or dancing. By the end of the second set we were all perspiring in a good way!!!! There have been calls from many members to make this an annual event, so rest assured we will re-book the chaps for a rematch! A fantastic evening had by all. Many thanks to Mike and the band. "

"So friendly and high attention to detail. Super engaging and encouraging. Most know little to about line dancing (myself included), but this crew had everyone in lock step within minutes."

"Kirsty was amazing from start to finish. Couldn't have asked for a better DJ. Kirsty was so friendly and open in the initial stages and was always very quick to respond. The contract and music choice stages went so smoothly. Music was one of the few areas of the wedding planning process I had no stress about because I knew Kirsty would deliver. And oh did she deliver, from a custom remix for our first dance, to an unforgettable throwback hour, to excellent music all night that suited us perfectly (we had so many compliments on the music). Thank you again, Kirsty, you made the night perfect!"

"Saw Whisky & Ginger at our local golf club last weekend and they were amazing! The voice! The songs! They had us oldies up dancing long after we'd normally be heading for bed! Would thoroughly recommend anybody to book and can't wait to have you back at the club!"

"Kirsty was perfect for our wedding, communicating in advance ahead of the day and including our selection of house/soul songs in a great live mix. Then on the day from when we entered and the music was already playing at a kid-friendly level, all the way through the pumped up karaoke madness to the special last dance she nailed the music selection and vibe. For our creative london 30’s crowd, she was exactly what we wanted and would highly recommend her. Thanks!"

"Just a quick note to say a massive thank you! You guys were brilliant on Saturday and my friends keep telling me how awesome you were. I loved how mad everyone went when you played the Irish tunes. Thanks for sorting the music for our first dance and for DJing later also. Will definitely book you again in the future! xxx Kirsty and Nige, wedding at Bruisyard Hall in Suffolk – 17th September 2016 "
