"Reliable, professional and a joy to listen to. And he is SUCH a lovely guy! He really made our celebration complete, the guests thoroughly enjoyed his performance and we really appreciated him being here. We can’t thank Huw enough for his wonderful contribution to our special day. He worked incredibly hard, way beyond the call of duty, and even found time for some of our guests who were keen to chat to him after his performance. We recommend Huw without hesitation, and would absolutely invite him back if we can find an excuse for another party. Thank you very much Huw."

"Jamie was amazing! He played great party songs that got everybody up dancing. He was accommodating if anyone had a request and was just such a great act. We would definitely have him again. A great asset to any party!"

"You're both lovely friendly people and really know how to get the party starting and the room rocking. I've been on a lot of cruises and you're by far the best entertainers I've ever seen. Its such a shame you're not on the Ambience World Cruise"

"Lilac, Remko & The Band, Thanks very much for the performing for us, it was fabulous. We have wonderful memories of our wedding day and feel so lucky to have got married before all the madness began and for your band to have been part of our special day. We meant to send you photos from our photographer, I will dig them out now while I remember. Hoping you and your family are well and managing at what I am sure is a terribly difficult time. Best wishes, Mark "

"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 ?"

"Mark was excellent; we left him to decide what to play and when and he judged it perfectly, keeping a low profile to begin with while people mingled and chatted then gradually stepping up the pace. When he was in full swing the everyone was up dancing and singing and it was an absolute riot. Most of our guests came to us and asked how we found him and said how the thoroughly enjoyed the music. Some said best party ever - we were absolutely thrilled and enjoyed ourselves tremendously."

"We are so grateful to Black Velvet Ceilidh Band for their last minute flexibility in playing for our wedding! We moved the wedding forward by a month to beat the lockdown and the band not only made themselves available on the new date, but also changed the style of music with just 3 days notice! Firstly their contactability and organisation was brilliant, making the booking and discussions with them hassle-free. Ceilidh would no longer have been appropriate, so the guys played a mix of Irish songs and jigs and reels. The music they provided was fantastic, creating the most beautiful atmosphere for the milling around and photo time between ceremony and reception. They were inconspicuous but added so much. Would definitely recommend them (and their versatility!) for any event.’"
