"Dear Black Velvet Band, Your Ceilidh band played at a Burns Night I attended last night at MOD Corsham. They were great and got everyone up and involved. Everyone really enjoyed it. "

"Black Velvet Band Irish Trio came to play at our relaxed outdoor pre-wedding get together of about 40 people. The three who made up the band were great – very talented musicians – they played all our favourites as well as some wider material. They were very keen to fit in with what we wanted to hear and gauged the mood as to whether to sing ballads or play jigs (after a few drinks people were up for having a bit of a dance). It was such a joy to hear live music again after all these months of covid restrictions. The Band really made the evening and they were really lovely people."

"We had a joint 50th & 80th birthday party. Black Velvet were fantastic. Great musicians and made the Barn dance run smoothly. We had ages from 5 to 80 and they tailored everything perfectly. Made it a birthday to remember."

"The party-goers - whether seasoned ceilidh dancers or first-timers - loved the band.  And they were professional, but also flexible and uncomplaining to deal with.  Thank you Black Velvet Band!"

"Jamboree James was the ultimate professional, great communication and arrived in plenty of time to set up. He was patient in the chaos of our school fayre set up. We had lots of compliments about the music which provided the perfect background to the events of the day. I'd definitely recommend Jim to anyone looking for some excellent live music from a reliable musician."

"Wow! look no further in your search for a band! Absolute played an acoustic set during the day and then 2 full band sets in the evening of our wedding on 7/8/21. All of which were incredible! They were so adaptive when we ended up with the first dance at the end of the first set and really felt the vibe of the wedding and selected a great range of songs to suit!! The dancefloor was full all evening which says it all. Everyone commented on how good they were. AMAZING! Book them now!! James and Amy, Wedding at Top Farm in Norfolk – 7th August 2021 "

"The band were a great edition to our wedding party event. They arrived on time and had no issues setting up independently with minimal direction from us as hosts. They gave good directions in terms of getting us started with a first dance, and set the tone for the two sets they played perfectly – giving great instructions to the mostly complete novice crowd present, with a good dose of humour alongside. Everyone there from small children through to retirees was able to participate. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again for a future event, or to recommend them to others."

"Just had to say "Thanks" for a wonderful night on Saturday. We missed out on the real Dolly at The Arena recently, but your performance was probably at least as good - and we had better seats!"

"An excellent bash – the band were fantastic! Everyone got up and danced. The caller did a great job. If we have another Birthday Bash, we will definitely be booking the band again. I have no hesitation recommending them."

"We wanted to tell you that having worried about driving through snow to see your show tonight in Basingstoke, we were very, very glad that we did. You did a wonderful job of interpreting Dolly's music (and we saw Dolly at the O2 recently, so we can compare. It was a lively and uplifting show. Thanks for a great evening. We would definitely recommend your show."
