"Hi Fiddlestix, Apologies for the belated reply. Firstly - huge thank you to the whole band for the performance the weekend before last. It was an absolute pleasure to have such a talented band playing and a joy to see all the families up and dancing. Well done for enduring the cold and we'll definitely look at getting a bigger tent next year! Please pass on our thanks to all the players. Thank you once again. Best wishes, Stuart"

"The Black Velvet Band Trio were extremely talented musicians who delivered a good range of Irish tunes to a very high standard. Overall they provided a great night’s entertainment, and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to hold an Irish themed night. Unfortunately we were not allowed dancing due to Covid restrictions, once these are lifted the night would be even better."

"They were lovely people and everyone there enjoyed their music. It was a Country Fair and due to their efforts we had people dancing on the grass with straw bales around to sit on. Happy people! Job well done. Thank you. We would certainly book them again for another event."

"The Captain’s Beard played an incredible set! We were dancing all night. They’re a thoroughly entertaining group and excellent musicians. They can deliver a completely authentic sounding sea shanty as well as performing traditional maritime songs in a completely modern style! "

"Sounds with Us we’re absolutely phenomenal at our wedding! Everything was perfect, the lead up we had multiple chats and they got to know us, find out our music taste then the day was just brilliant. Lilac did a solo set which was wonderful and the band kept the dance floor going followed with Remko keeping the floor fillers with his awesome DJ skills. Would recommend them to anyone for any occasion! Thank you guys ?"

"Dear Lilac, Thank you I have recovered, just two more parties to go, I have allowed for a couple of days between each I’m so pleased the band enjoyed the day as well. Your team did a lot to help make that great atmosphere. I have had a lot of thank you messages from guests; “good food, good company, great ceilidh”, “the ceilidh band were excellent”. Just two of the many complements. Isabel, my wife, and myself were delighted with your playing. For me you helped make the perfect party."

"Hi Davie, A massive thank you to The Shooglers for playing at our wedding. We were impressed with how you managed to herd 100 clueless folk around the dancefloor and we've definitely converted some to loving a good ceilidh. We're happy to send testimonials if needed. Such an amazing night deserves praise! All the best! "

"Absolute brought their acoustic roaming band to play our wedding reception at Cain Manor and did not disappoint. They created an amazing atmosphere outside before and after the ceremony. They also played my wife walking down the aisle which really added to the emotion. I'm sure they would also make an awesome evening band now dancing is allowed again! Thanks guys you really helped make our day perfect. Dave and Jen, Wedding at Cain Manor in Hampshire – 16th July 2021 "

"Black Velvet Ceilidh Trio performed at a surprise party for my wife’s 60th Birthday recently. It was intended to be a function at which people could be fully involved and Boy! Did they do just that! I honestly cannot remember such a function where all of the guests were agreed it was an evening to remember that was also such fun. The whole success of the celebration came from the bands active participation and willingness to do everything possible to make the evening into a night to remember. That, they surely did. Thank you Black Velvet Ceilidh Band. You and the band made my wife very, very happy. She will not forget and neither will I. You are indeed very special musicians and very special people. May I wish you all well."

"Just wanted to write to say sincere thanks to you, Gerry and Mike for making our Burns Night so special last night. You created a fantastic and fun atmosphere with your talented playing, vocals and humour while your efforts to organise our dances were much appreciated and enthusiastically received by all. Numerous members of our gathering mentioned to me how much they enjoyed the band. That was also backed up by how ready people were to get up to take part in the dances. You all made the night great fun and memorable and I look forward to seeing you all again at any function in the future including our next Burns Night Supper. Best wishes for all your future events."

"We had Pat and his bagpipes at our wedding on 19th September 2015 and he was fantastic. The music was brilliant and it added something really special to our day. He looked brilliant to, his uniform was immaculate. He was friendly and polite and what made it special was that he was rally enjoying the day and location. We can not say enough good things about Pat, we would have him play at other events and highly recommend him for any special occasions. Pat contacted us before the day and we spoke about music choice and he delivered an excellent selection of Music. The service we have received from Last Minute Musicians has been brilliant and would use this service again."
