"For the third year The Brixham Pirate Festival will have The Extonions playing on the Main Stage. Pirates are a discerning crew and The Extonions had them a jiggin' and toe tappin' throughout their set. HUZZAH!!!"

Reply by Irish Band: The Extonions
Thank younRuss , while it lasted under your management, we though roughly enjoyed every moment as did the crowd. People often ask why we are not playing anymore on the main stage, and we have to say, we don't know.

"Dear Davie and the Band, What with all the goings on since the wedding we have not had a chance to thank you so much for playing at our wedding on 4th June. You really brought the party together and everyone loved the music throughout, Poppy I know did not leave the dance floor for a second. The final Loch Lomond dance was the final dance of all dances and with all the guests joined arm in arm around Poppy and I it felt more like a rugby celebration - a great way for us to finish such a fantastic day and head off, slightly reluctantly, from our wedding. We will certainly recommend you to others and we hope some booking come because of it, we wish you all the best with your band and the future. Best Wishes. "

"Debi and the girls were superb. They arrived on time and were very easy and pleasant to deal with. The girls looked the part and were full of fun. Their enthusiasm was infectious. Everyone joined in and had a really good time. The music was excellent. 10 out of 10 for a great performance!"

"We came across Gerry from web reviews on this site. Our vision was to find an accordonist who could accompany our pre-wedding groom arrival procession playing upbeat and beat tunes. Gerry was very enthusiastic and open to our requests and a pleasure to work with. The event and music was lovely so thankyou to Gerry and his trumpet player colleague who made the day very special.

"Great feedback on the night everyone loved it as I'm sure you could tell by the way the party refused to end. "

"The ceilidh was all amazing, couldn’t fault it. The caller worked really hard to make sure everyone at least sort of had a clue what they were doing, and adapted it for when there were too many couples and not enough space! Only complaint is that he almost killed me making me do Strip the Willow line twice with my very enthusiastic husband!! Thanks for everything 😊"

"We and our guests had a wonderful time dancing, and the music was really brilliant" Hi Mick, Thank you so much to you and the Wraggle Taggle team for playing at our wedding (15th April 2023 Saturday Holy Trinity Claygate Church, Church Road, Claygate, Esher, Surrey, KT10 0JP) . Wraggle Taggle brought so much energy and enjoyment to our wedding! We and our guests had a wonderful time dancing, and the music was really brilliant. We highly recommend them! Special thanks to Mary for giving us a speedy lesson in a couple’s dance, too! We really enjoyed that as our first dance. We thought you might like to see some photos of the band, and of everyone enjoying themselves in the ceilidh! Many thanks, Lucy and Dom 19 May 2023"

"Hi I’d be delighted to leave you a review! Thank you so much for playing for our wedding Ceilidh dance and disco at the lodge on the Loch on Tuesday night. To be honest with you, we “thought” we had booked just your average Joe ceilidh band to play for us, but you guys are certainly not just average you are utterly brilliant. We loved all the Ceilidh Dances esp faithless in the strip the willow, top class. Also, the Dj set was brilliant and had everyone dancing all night. 10/10 hope to see you somewhere and and will recommend you to everyone. Thank you a million once again."

"We hired this band 'Barn With Us' for our Company Summer Party 2 weeks ago, The weather had been horrendous that morning right up until they arrived! Not only did they bring the sunshine with them, they also brought the PARTY! They are so good! They had people up line dancing and joining in, everyone had so much fun. Remko and Lilac make such a good team, and the other band members support them well too. We would definitely not only recommend them, but we would also book them again ourselves. 10 out of 10 for you guys. 💜"

"We celebrated the end of our sailing season with a Ceilidh on Saturday. It was a brilliant night - Blue Jewel were great. We had a room full of all ages (8 to 86 as far as I am aware) and everyone in the room was smiling and laughing and the dance floor was never empty. I can't recommend anything better for a good party."

"As requested I am writing to express the gratitude of the Rotary Club of Reigate to you for providing us with Tim Barton last Friday. He was a great success and handled the audience with humour and skill. He helped to make the evening hugely enjoyable and one which raised just over £1000 for Rotary Foundation - exactly in line with our target!"
