Review Centre: Barn Dance Bands

"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!"

"Morning Fiddlestix. A very big thank you to you and your fantastic band and your caller. We all had a fantastic evening and even though it may not have turned out as a true Barn Dance ( to much chatting I’m afraid), but everybody said how wonderful the music was. Thank you for everything. We won’t hesitate to recommend you all Regards David Pike"

"Thanks again to you and the band for playing at our wedding last weekend, everyone loved the dances, the DJ set after was great, and you were a pleasure to deal with before the event. I know you probably do a lot of weddings so it was nice to see you enjoying it so much and smiling, we appreciated it! "

"This band is suitable for any occasion, the music is fabulous, you cannot help but tap your feet and get up and dance, you feel the passion they put into their playing and it is truly excellent. Young and old will and do enjoy this music, absolutely loved them. "

"lack Velvet Band Hoedown Trio were so much fun! We booked them for our first Barn Dance and were unsure of how it would work. They fully put our minds at ease as everyone got stuck into the fun! Prompt, professional and organised. Easy to work with and enjoyable to have at our public event. 10/10 thanks guys! "

"Black Velvet Ceilidh Trio performed at a surprise party for my wife’s 60th Birthday recently. It was intended to be a function at which people could be fully involved and Boy! Did they do just that! I honestly cannot remember such a function where all of the guests were agreed it was an evening to remember that was also such fun. The whole success of the celebration came from the bands active participation and willingness to do everything possible to make the evening into a night to remember. That, they surely did. Thank you Black Velvet Ceilidh Band. You and the band made my wife very, very happy. She will not forget and neither will I. You are indeed very special musicians and very special people. May I wish you all well."

"Well handled and so well played! Thank you for the excellent music and reels last Friday - we have had several thank you letters already saying how much people enjoyed it and what a hoot it was even though they realised they could not do it at all!! For many it was their first try and I hope not their last. We were just pleased they were happy to give it a go. I was so grateful you had the tact to realise what was required and not be insulted or frustrated by the lack of ability to follow your commands!"

"Thank you George! We had such a lovely evening (I am still aching now). Lots of the guests had never been to a ceilidh before and many have said what a wonderful time they had, and how great the band were. There is even talk of organising a village ceilidh - watch this space!"

"My wife and I booked The Mighty Craic full band for our joint 40th birthday party. Josh was a pleasure to deal with in terms of the arrangements etc and when the big night came the band absolutely stormed it for us. I'd been keen to find a band that would have a broad appeal as we would have family and friends of all ages celebrating with us. The band treated us to a perfectly judged mix of popular irish songs and contemporary pop hits done The Mighty Craic's style. If you want a tight, professional, really entertaining irish band for your party then you've found them. Guaranteed to get your guests dancing, smiling and singing along. Top craic! "

"The Blue Jewel Ceilidh band were fantastic and really made our event. They got everyone up dancing and dealt with with a large group of people. Somehow they got us all dancing in formation and getting most of the steps correct! This was a fund raising event for us so it was important to have a value for money band and to run an event that people enjoyed and would remember. Blue Jewel certainly achieved this. The feedback from guests was that they had a fantastic time and would attend a similar event next year. The fact several of our guests asked for Blue Jewel's contact details also speaks of how popular they were. Thank you again for helping us run such a successful and enjoyable event."
