"Wow, wow, wow! I booked Loose Shoes on the basis of the reviews and demo online which were excellent but don't fully do them justice. Danny and Catherine were brilliant. They made our event - great vibe, amazing sound, hugely talented. Everyone was talking about them for weeks. If you're looking for a small band then look no further. We'll definitely be asking them to play again."

"James played at my birthday party and provided a wide range of music. He very much made the night a party and truly entertained my family & friends. We would highly recommend this talented, modest young man, thanks James "

"My legs are still aching because I danced so much! The band arrived on time and were very friendly and helpful and the music was delightful. It was a mixed crowd, many of whom had never met each other before but with one thing in common – they had never done ceilidh dancing before! The caller was absolutely brilliant – it didn’t matter that most people had no idea how to dance the reels! Everyone joined in and thoroughly enjoyed themselves."

"What a fabulous party we had with everyone entering into the spirit of the ceilidh! The music was great and the caller was exceptionally patient with the disproportionate number of young men at the party. It was a really mixed crowd – plenty of teens and twenties, through to those in their eighties. The dance floor was full throughout the evening and everyone, both young and old joined in, including the determined non dancers. Several people commented on what a lovely time they’d had. I’m very happy to recommend the band."

"The man’s a true star. Great performance, real engagement with the audience and a true professional. He leant four sea shanties plus Hotel California for my yacht club event. We loved him and his play list. What’s not to like about a great performance."

"I had the pleasure of having Dolly perform at my sold out country music event on bank holiday Sunday. The crowd absolutely loved her. I must have watched hundreds of different tribute acts videos and when I came across Maddie I knew I’d found the perfect one, and she didn’t disappoint!! An incredible voice, and talent. I can’t wait to book her again!!"

"We had a fantastic joint 30th birthday party for 60 people and the Black Velvet Ceilidh Band did an amazing job of making the evening a huge success! Mike gave me a call a couple of weeks prior to the event to confirm all arrangements such as timings, location, numbers, and the experience of the party goers (very mixed - lots of complete beginners). Mike was really enthusiastic on the phone and I felt very confident all was going to go well. At the beginning of the evening, we were pretty disorganized and neither James or I were there to meet the band on arrival, but our friend saw them into the venue and they were very flexible and happy to go with the flow and got set up really quickly. The whole band were keen to help and happily agreed to start the ceilidh a little later than planned, as well as letting me use the mic to make announcements! The 2 x 1 hour sets of ceilidh dancing were amazing and both the calling and music were fantastic - our guests absolutely loved every moment of it and have all said how much they enjoyed the music and dancing. Thank you very much to the whole band for an excellent evening, we would recommend you to anyone! "

"Your repertoire of music was exactly as we requested. To please such a wide age range from 10 year old to 80 year old is some achievement. You also managed to include some songs that Bob and I requested !!! Lots of our friends and family commented on how they enjoyed the music. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you. Thank you once again"

"This duo played their acoustic set out on the decking and I can honestly say, I could listen to them all day. Great songs, beautifully sung and played."
