"We had a fantastic joint 30th birthday party for 60 people and the Black Velvet Ceilidh Band did an amazing job of making the evening a huge success! Mike gave me a call a couple of weeks prior to the event to confirm all arrangements such as timings, location, numbers, and the experience of the party goers (very mixed - lots of complete beginners). Mike was really enthusiastic on the phone and I felt very confident all was going to go well. At the beginning of the evening, we were pretty disorganized and neither James or I were there to meet the band on arrival, but our friend saw them into the venue and they were very flexible and happy to go with the flow and got set up really quickly. The whole band were keen to help and happily agreed to start the ceilidh a little later than planned, as well as letting me use the mic to make announcements! The 2 x 1 hour sets of ceilidh dancing were amazing and both the calling and music were fantastic - our guests absolutely loved every moment of it and have all said how much they enjoyed the music and dancing. Thank you very much to the whole band for an excellent evening, we would recommend you to anyone! "

"Outstanding! Jack listened to the music genre I liked and I actually chose 3 songs not on his playlist and what an amazing job he did, I walked down the aisle to him singing he then entertained guests and they loved him, Jack interacted with them and let them join in with him! My groom and I also posed with him. I would 100% recommend him to anyone without a doubt well worth his fee! "

"It was a great pleasure to work with Loose Shoes for our charity Gala dinner on December 3rd 2016 at Salon Bellevue of Café de Paris Place du Casino of Monaco. The feed back was really great and all the guests really enjoyed your music and style. I would like to congratulate your professionalism, your kindness and your capacity of adaptation at the party. Also i would like to congratulate you with your very nice presentation very smart. Last important thing, all the team have agreed that we would like your band for our next Charity Gala dinner on December 2017. "

"Wow, what a singer! Lucy was an absolute star, travelling up from London with her guitarist to my party in the Midlands to help me out at short notice, as I was struggling to find an act I liked and was available for my birthday party. What I didn't realise was, not only is she absolutely lovely but she has an amazing voice, great range, a huge variety of songs and she even did me an Elvis number by special request. Her guitarist was a quality act too. I know there are lots of 10/10 ratings on here, but seriously I don't think you could give Lucy any less, if you hire her, she will make your event a special one."

"Many thanks for playing at our party and especially for arriving so early to set up before they closed the roads for the carnival, (I hadn't planned for that!) Your friendly, engaging and professional manner made the arrangements easy. We all loved the music, and the great playlist, and you pitched just right, a small venue but people could still have a chat. Please pass my thanks to Bella, you both helped make for a very memorable and happy evening "

"We booked the Hillbillies for a western themed garden party and they were an instant hit. I’ve not had a band get our guests up dancing so quickly and continuously all night until the final curtain. The band were very professional throughout the booking process along with being courteous and great entertainment on the night. Thanks for a great night guys and hope to book you again in the future.

"We hired Paddy for our festival party and couldn't have asked for anything more. Paddy was a professional, a great communicator and punctual. Paddy has a stunning voice, played a great mixture of songs and provided great entertainment for our party. We cannot recommend it enough. Thank you, Paddy, hope you enjoyed your first G festival! "

"The band was the definitive highlight of the Christmas Ball we hosted. Their extensive and varied repertoire of country music ensured broad appeal, maintaining high energy without compromising musical excellence. Their performance was executed flawlessly, resulting in overwhelmingly positive feedback from all attendees. We highly recommend them without reservation."
