"Saw them at the Claude doing an acoustic set. Absolutely brilliant. I love their own version of Dakota. Never heard it like that before. It was beautiful. Really liked the medleys. Great guitarist and stunning vocals. I look forward to seeing them again."

"A huge thanks to Jamie for performing at our wedding. He was great in the build-up to our wedding and we felt really relaxed and reassured. He pitched his performance at the perfect level for our guests and he performed well beyond the time that he was contracted for; I can’t recommend Jamie enough!"

"Jamie sang on our special day and we couldn’t have been happier with the performance. Being extremely flexible, Jamie understood the vibe we wanted for the day and gave us that and more. My guests have commented on how brilliant the song choices were and the atmosphere that was created. We highly recommend booking Jamie for any special days in your life"

"This is the second time we have booked the Black Velvet Band for our summer ceilidh, and it was such fun! The band ran two different dancing sessions for our international students and were very patient with explaining the dances and encouraging all students to participate. The music was brilliant and energetic, and all three band members were so kind and even paused for a photoshoot with the students. We are looking forward to next summer already. I’d absolutely recommend them for any event/party/celebration!"

"I hired The Mighty Craic for a private birthday party in November 2018. Not only were the band extremely professional, arriving on time and setting up efficiently, they were also all really friendly. They definitely got the party started, worth every penny."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio / Claire’s 60th Birthday / May 2025 Black Velvet Trio were absolutely perfect for the barn dance we hosted. The trio were cool, calm and professional in their ability to literally herd cats! They were able to bring a huge smile to every face which was always my wish. The musicians were brilliant at just playing wonderful barn dance music whilst we laughed and bumped and crashed about with our two and sometimes three left feet.Our last (came too quick) dance was the Swiss Roll. We all loved it and would be so happy to have Black Velvet Trio back to do it all again."

"We would just like to thank you very much for a brilliant evening of music and dancing at our wedding. We have had a lot of great feedback about how fun you were, you even made the ‘non-dancing’ people dance! We really enjoyed it, thank you very much."

"Dermot added something truly special to a difficult day, being my mother-in-law's funeral, but a combination of his professionalism, artistry and sensitivity made a deep impression on everyone there. On top of that, the speed with which Sarah-Jane arranged things with Dermot at very short notice helped enormously in smoothing the arrangements for the whole day. Thank you!"
