"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Vincent McLaughlin’s Birthday Ceilidh – November 2025 We had a lovely evening which was made possible by the brilliance of the Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio. Everyone thought their musicianship was excellent and the caller was very good at helping get people dancing. From young to old everyone had a great evening."

"I have been a fan of Kelly's Heroes for many years. I never tire of hearing them. As we say in Ireland the Craics always good at their gig. I think the secrets are they are accomplished musicians no weakness in any department. Hugh range of songs and tunes! Tony who fronts the band makes everyone feel welcomed and encourages joining in the choruses. I would recommend them every time. Cracking live band and with their any CDs you can take them home after the gig! "

"Lucy and Jack were amazing at our wedding. Everything we could have hoped for. They were great at learning my song requests for the whole day. Very reasonably priced for the incredible service they provide. Intimate and happy atmosphere created by their beautiful voices and musical talents! Completely perfected the musical genres we wanted of modern country and pop, with couple of older songs too. For any brides out there I highly recommend Lucy and Jack, and to have live singer whilst walking down the aisle, it was one of the most memorable parts of my day."

"We had an amazing time and everyone has said how much they enjoyed it. Even a couple of friends who were very sceptical of Ceilidhs were won over and had a great time! One of my American friends who had no experience of folk music just walked up to me and said 'This is the best thing since....just the best'."

"We were bowled over by the band! The 2 sets were perfectly pitched to get dancers onto the floor, really good musicianship and sound system. 10/10. Before the day Mark was in good contact and made sure that we had the event we wanted, also early arrival and set up so we could relax on the day. Cannot thank them enough, highly recommended. Massive THANKYOU !!"

"What a fantastic band. Mark and his group were brilliant - everything we had hoped for. Mark did a solo acoustic set at the beginning, which was the perfect backdrop to people arriving and chatting. Then he and the band played 2 brilliant sets, getting everyone on the dancefloor. Mark was a brilliant communicator - listened to our requests and took them into account for the sets. He was also brilliant at engaging with the party. Top marks - would 100% recommend!"

"Excellent acoustic soloist. Can not recommend highly enough. He had everyone up and singing and I’ve been asked when he’s coming back already! Top night."

"Vicky and I are just back from a wonderful honeymoon in Thailand. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Mike and all the Black Velvet Band for playing at our wedding. For some it was a new experience hearing a traditional Irish band perform. We all had a great time. Vicky and I are just back from a wonderful honeymoon in Thailand.

"Karen and I would like to thank you all for a great evening of music. We loved your playing and thought you were great. And it wasn't only us. Many of our guests told us they had never enjoyed a band more and that your excellence 'made' the party. So thank you again."
