"Perfect!! You had everyone up on the dance floor which was full of smiling faces and you managed to make one little boy very, very happy when he was able to sing Danny Boy with Tony. Thank you so much."

"Hello Absolute! We just wanted to say thanks to the band for performing at our wedding recently. We had seen you before so knew that you were a great band and our guests seemed very impressed. The rendition of our first dance song (You are the Best Thing by Ray Lamontagne) was perfect, so thank you very much for that! We hope the evening went smoothly for you, and thanks for allowing my friend to take the mic to sing some swing numbers (though it's hard to stop him). Thanks once again. Hayley & James, wedding at Lillibrooke Manor, in Maidenhead – 10th October 2015 "

"Sophie’s connection to music is deep and undeniable. Her music and words range from deep and powerful to fun and light, with warm and inviting folky tones. I find her a joy to listen to and feel that her accomplished musicianship reflects her spirit- heartfelt, skilful, passionate and free."

"Dear Janet, Francis and Henry, Thank you so much for your lovely, lively music and Henry’s instructions, for our party on Saturday, also your solo Francis which was much appreciated by me and by my sister, particularly. We had such fun and everyone loved ‘the ceilidh band’, as they called your trio! You certainly made the party go with a swing and I would definitely recommend you. "

"What an amazing band, and we had such a wonderful time. They had the whole party dancing until the end of the night. Adam was a great communicator, and it was a pleasure sharing our wedding day with you and the band. Everyone has commented at what a great performance, and to perform our first dance that was not on the play list was fantastic."

"Her voice filled the hall with love, his guitar with passion. We fell in love with Mangata duo. Can't wait to see them next time."

"We absolutely loved having Black Velvet Band play our wedding ceilidh at Clearwell Castle. My husband is from Scotland so we wanted a traditional Scottish ceilidh feel with some of the classics, and we were not disappointed! We had a good feeling about Black Velvet band from the moment we booked them - and sure enough, Mike and the guys were absolutely fantastic and made our evening party a huge success. The band were great and the instructions on the ceilidh dances were so helpful; even those of our party who may not have normally danced were up there loving life on the dancefloor. The fun and friendly atmosphere they created was just fab and so different from your ‘usual’ evening do. All our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the ceilidh and some said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We would 100% book the band again and recommend them to friends. Thank you for contributing to the best day of both our lives. Love from Hannah and Deryk x"

"The fact that the afternoon was such a tremendous success was entirely due to the four of you. You created a great atmosphere and really got the party going."

"We booked Funk With Us for our 30th wedding anniversary and the band completely exceeded our expectations. We were hoping to find a band that would play our favourite hits from when we first met and the band made an effort to include those songs in their set. Our guests especially loved how engaging both singers were, with the odd friend taking the mic and the lead! We are very happy for booking Funk With Us and will definitely recommend them to our friends."

"Judy was really well organised and communicated well with prompt responses, even suggesting a local venue that they know works well - exactly what you need when you're organising an event! The band sounded great, with a wide repertoire of songs from different backgrounds but all feeling familiar. The caller struck the perfect balance, teaching and guiding where necessary but allowing the dancers free reign when we got into the swing of it. Everyone had an amazing time, with many, many positive comments received about the band. I will be recommending the Barnbuskers to anyone planning a similar event."

"Steve, Geoff and Absolute Band were brilliant to deal with from start to finish. Really friendly people, superb musicians and ensured our dancefloor was busy all night. The addition of a fiddle player was so much fun. Would 100% recommend booking these guys for a wedding or party! Sarah & Ross, Wedding at Rushton Hall in Northamptonshire – 1st January 2023 "
