"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 😊"

"The Shooglers were real stars at our wedding in Lochgoilhead in October. They performed a perfect mix of ceilidh and rock covers, sometimes in the same dance! It really had everyone up on the dance floor for most of the evening. Afterwards everyone wanted to know where we'd got them from including the venue co-ordinator who sees bands every week. Most of all, they have a great sense of humour - they realise it's all about everyone having a great time. Thanks again guys, you were awesome. "

"I have personally known this band for more years than sometimes I want to remember. (I think about 25!). They have performed many times in all three establishments associated with my long career as a licensee. In addition, I have watched & listened to their music in numerous Castle Rock Pub outlets, in my capacity as director of said company. The band exhibit the kind of professional approach to their audience, no matter how big or small the venue, that would be an example to many other performers I have witnessed over the years. Playing with real passion, skill and flare, they embrace their audience into their world of Celtic music like no other. During their distinguished career, they have built up a seemingly endless repertoire of songs and tunes from their Celtic roots, and therefore every set played to faithful followers tends to be unique! All the members of this great band, both past and present, have become personal friends of mine and long may it continue. I have no hesitation in recommending Kellys Heroes to any establishment or agency."

"We booked Rachel Redman as a trio alongside Matt and Gaby for my 40th birthday party at The Unicorn in Henley. They had a bit of everything, including three vocals, harmonies, percussion and guitar, lights, full sound system and they played party hits through their system in their breaks. We enjoyed dancing to some rock and pop hits throughout the evening. Rachel, Matt and Gaby were on time and friendly. They made my birthday so memorable, everyone thought they were just amazing! They really added something very special to the night and I have had loads of lovely comments from my friends and family about how amazing they were today. Thank you Rachel, Matt and Gaby."

"Black Velvet Irish Trio were brilliant! 500 Furey fans stomped and jigged and sang along as they waited to be photographed with Tyson! Great stuff, lads - I'm going to book you back for next year's event. Lyons Den Promotions "

"Bryan and I wanted to pass on our grateful thanks for your terrific entertainment at our recent wedding. Your band was incredibly accomplished and we were delighted that you were able to take on the Argentine Tango piece by Canaro that we had specially requested as our first dance , with absolute gusto. You absolutely made our day and had the whole party dancing until we could barely stand . Well done to you all and many thanks . I can’t recommend you highly enough ."

"Dear Kellys Heroes, Thank you very much for playing the ceilidh at our wedding. We and our guests had an absolutely fantastic time. We have had so many positive comments from both first time ceilidhiers and more hardened veterans about the band and the calling. We hope you enjoyed the evening as much as us!"

You were oh what can i say that described your performance. Sorry i cant. There are rumours abound that you are going to be booked for a repeat performance. Thanks for the enjoyment shared by all concerned."

"We honestly can't thank Oscar and Barney enough for everything they did to help make my husbands 40th an incredible night. They set the atmosphere off perfectly playing a range of great music that got the crowd going. They are absolute naturals and great entertainers. Not only is their music on point, and their talents endless, but they are so lovely with it, and really engaged with the room and played all the right things they felt people wanted to hear. From the outset the communication was clear, concise and friendly, as well as being really quick to respond. Thank you both for some great memories, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will definitely hire you again! "
