Review Centre: Country Bands

"I cannot thank the band enough for their amazing talents – the musicians and Deeanne's voice is perfection and my mum would have loved her voice too. We love country so having Country Bound – Midlands was just the perfect end to our wedding celebration so thank you so much. I cannot recommend the band enough – you will not be disappointed."

"I can not recommend Georgia enough. We booked her very early on when planning our wedding and things moved around right up to the day before the big day. Georgia was completely calm and flexible and just did her own thing. I didn't have to think about directing her for a second on the day she just read the room and was in the exact right place at the right time. The music she chose was perfect and really set the atmosphere throughout the day. She did a cover of our song as I walked down the aisle and it was the most beautiful version we've ever heard. Her and Louis then did a quick 30 minute set during the canape and cocktail reception which got people ready to move into the main hall for dinner. They then finished off with the first dance, the father/daughter dance and then a bunch of songs to get people up and dancing. Her voice is incredible and she has this incredible ability to get people up and moving whilst providing a tone where people can still talk at the tables if they wanted to. We've been to too many weddings where the music was too loud and if you wanted to sit a song out you had to leave the room so it was really important to us to get the right balance. Georgia was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and we are so thrilled her and Louis were a part of our big day!! What a talent!"

"Exceptional! The band's versatility was on full display at our corporate party. Their ability to set the right mood, whether during networking sessions or on the dance floor, showcased their professionalism and musical prowess."

"We booked Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio for a sixtieth birthday party. Very much a family event, so all ages including children, who particularly enjoyed it, although everyone had a really great time. One of the parents told me that her little one has decided that a ceilidh is the very best kind of birthday party, so the bar was set high for all future birthdays there! A few people knew the dances already, but most didn’t, and our caller guided us through each dance so that everyone could join in the fun! The atmosphere was lovely, and the musicians were impressive, plus really lovely people who were accommodating, helpful and great fun. I would definitely recommend them; they were fantastic, and the whole evening was an absolute joy. The only thing now is to find a good reason to do it all again!"

"Kirsty was a delight to work with and helped craft our vision for the soundtrack to our wedding. Her passion for music was obvious from the get go, as was her attention to details in our initial meeting. This meant the evening reception was a massive success. Kirsty always knew the right song to play at the right time to get the crowd going! We would highly recommend Kirsty for your wedding."

"We hired Barn With Us two years ago to play for our party however, with two cancellations thanks to Covid, we have only just had the party. I can say it was truly worth the wait! Without a doubt, every single person loved the performance that the band put on, they were superb! They really made the night and managed to get people to dance on stage that I’ve never even seen dance before! Many people came up to me and said how wonderful the band were and I wouldn’t be surprised if more business comes to the band from guests at the party! Thank you for a truly wonderful night! I cannot recommend Barn With Us enough, everything was expertly organised, including through Covid and we were able to select our favourites to sing along to!"

"Jimmy was great. He had a flexible and no fuss approach and just got on with his set up as soon as he got here. He listened to our wishes around timings as well. His choice of songs and combination of singing and guitar fit in really well with a large outdoor family birthday party. We got great feedback from the people who attended and we would happily book him again. Thanks again Jimmy!"

"Sorry it has taken me so long to write to you but just wanted to say thanks so much for playing at my party last Saturday. So many people said what a great band you were and you were so good at calling the dances and keeping everyone right. It was also great fun doing some of the less well known dances. I will definitely be recommending It's No Reel to any family or friends who are having a ceilidh in the future. "

"Country Gals Duo absolutely brought the energy to our event! Their harmonies were spot-on, their setlist had something for everyone, and the crowd loved them — we had people up dancing all night. Such a fun, feel-good performance. Can’t wait to have them back!"

"We asked Michael to organise a Johnny Cash tribute band for our dad. He brought the band in and they were brilliant. Michael was so accommodation and gave us just what we needed. Recommended."

"I booked Black Velvet Band Irish Duo for my Mum’s 80th. It was a small family gathering in the back garden. The band were fantastic and even my mum was up dancing. It was a rare and happy sight!"

"I just wanted to say a very big thank you to you all for a most memorable ceilidh at Ross and Susie’s wedding on 6th October. We have had many compliments on your ceilidh band and the dancing, and with many coming from a bunch of southerners, that is praise indeed! The calling and walk-throughs were just right and enabled anyone who wanted to, to join in. I was so pleased to see the dance floor full all night and everyone having such fun. Your playlist was very well thought out with a good array of well known dances and one or two lesser known but all good fun and not so complicated, all with tunes of a good pace. My sister came off after dancing the Cumberland Square (?) saying “That was great, I’ve always wanted to learn that one!” My knees have not recovered yet from all the dancing- but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I am sure Ross and Susie will thank you themselves in due course. In the meantime I shall thank you once again. I would not hesitate to recommend you to friends and family for a great ceilidh night."
