"You were brilliant as a band! I went reeling last night again and they were not a patch on you, I'll be in touch about dates for next year. Once again thank you so much!"

"Wow, what a sound you have! We thoroughly enjoyed having you perform at our wedding last week and all our guests had a great time. So much dancing and fun was had by all, and literally everyone commented on what a wonderful choice we made in inviting you as our guest band. Weddings don't always go to plan and in our case a crucial lead broke on our ipad for the party music, and Kellys Heroes came to the rescue and very kindly donated their lead so we could finish off the party. Such talented lovely people so I very much recommend Kellys Heroes and we are looking forward to seeing you perform at another event in the future!!"

"It's the day after booking the Rib Ticklers for my husbands 50th Birthday. It was wonderful!! The band were nothing but professional, accommodating and very friendly! The choice of songs was well matched to the party crowd and we were sad when it was over. We have had many texts saying how good the band were and where did we find them. Thank you for all your help with our questions beforehand too. We are very happy customers. Great service from start to finish and price was very competitive. "

"Hi Davie, Just a quick note to say thank you very much for playing at our wedding last month. We absolutely loved the music and the dancing, in particular the Cumberland Square 8, as did all our guests! It was great to you as part of the day and we will definitely recommend you wholeheartedly to others. We look forward to seeing The Shooglers at an event sometime soon!!! All the best! "

"My heart is full of joy this morning. Last night whilst I trying to persuade my daughter to come to the ceilidh with me, She was being all 15. "I'm not dancing", "I might do ONE but only if M*&a (also 15) does it too and I'm NOT touching some random person". They both absolutely LOVED it, one dance in and they were off doing every dance and holding hands with everyone, doing a promenade with anyone that was next to them. It's really hard to find something to do with a 15 year old where they actually want to hang out with you other than a theme park, but the power of ceildh dancing seems to overcome all obstacles..."

"We had a great night. They certainly made us exercise and it was sooooo hot! Everyone really enjoyed themselves - there was lots of laughter. Unfortunately, it is apparent that we are quite uncoordinated!"

"Funk With Us played at our wedding last weekend and were absolutely amazing!! I would highly recommend them for any wedding or other event. So many of our guests kept asking how we'd found them because they just blew everyone away with their vocals, energy, song choices and just all around fun! So so so good! It felt like Lilac and the rest of the band just brought the good times back! "

"Just a note to thank you and the band so much for your contribution to the success of Saturday night’s Barn Dance. The music was fantastic, and I felt the calling gave us just the right amount of detail without holding back those who were itching to get on with the dancing. Loads of people said to me just how much they’d enjoyed the music. I do hope they passed their appreciation on to you too. And I hope that you were pleased by the enthusiasm with which people threw themselves into dancing. So, many thanks once again. "

"I just wanted to thank you and the guys for their work last Thursday. They were awesome and we loved them. We're also really pleased we picked Klaus as the replacement singer as his style and personality were exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. We had lots of great feedback from guests about the band as a whole and for Klaus's solo set. If you ever need a testimonial for the band or Klaus, don't hesitate to let me know. Also, great work on our song for the first dance, as I know it was a rarity and the music was very hard to find. "

"Lee and I would just like to thank you so much for playing at our wedding. We had such a brilliant night and so many people have commented on how great you were. We also really appreciated how patient you were when people were a bit slow to get up for dances! Thanks again!"

"We booked the band for our wedding reception back in October. We are both huge Irish music fans and have had several memorable trips to Ireland so it was especially important to us to have a live Irish band on our big day. We spend a fair amount of time looking for the “perfect Irish band” and were over the moon to have found the Extonions. From the initial enquiry Mac was both friendly and very professional. He instantly made us feel like we had made the right decision and was more than happy to include any special song requests we had. He then made sure they included on the night and that everyone had a great time. All the band members were lovely and friendly chatting to our guests and fitted in perfectly with our relaxed party atmosphere. Many of our guests have commented on how great they were and we would not hesitate in booking them again in the future or recommending them to others. Thanks so much for making our wedding day so memorable."
