"The booking process was easy and flawless, I particularly liked being able to ring and talk to the agent. Dermot and his friend are very talented and made the wedding. They played Irish ballads through the meal and then burst into Irish jigs after the first dance. Dermot was flexible and worked well with our DJ. I will love to book him again at some point."

"Just to tell you that your performance on Saturday night was brilliant probably the best part of the 2 days my husband and I spent at the Festival. Your 'band' is very talented and we thoroughly enjoyed your music. Well done. "

"Joanne sang at our wedding and was absolutely brilliant. A few guests commented how amazing she was and didn’t even realise at first we had a live singer, they thought she was a record playing which is testament to just how incredible her vocals are. She made our evening perfect. Couldn’t recommend enough ?"

"Thank you for your lovely performance, the evening was great!!! You were right, the wind & cold brought everyone into the barn to dance, chat & listen to your music!! Compliments from everyone, they loved your music, commented on how good it was to hear a really good live band! The sound was excellent, the caller was approachable, friendly & encouraging. Please do thank all your musicians, the caller & Remko for making the night such a success. And thank you to you for listening to what I requested & giving us all a most entertaining evening. I do wish you well with all your future plans for ‘Barn With Us’. With my good wishes! Penelope "

"Niki and the team were absolutely fantastic! We had them for our wedding ceilidh and they really got the whole party going. They were organized and helpful in the lead up to the event, which made for smooth running on the day. We had many guests from overseas who were obviously not that well versed in the dances. Niki did an excellent job of instructing and helping them. Would absolutely recommend their services! "

"Thank you Chris, and please do thank your accomplished colleagues for their brilliant playing. I’ll see Clare tonight and I can thank her again. You pitched the dances and music just right. Everyone enjoyed it. I’ve danced the eightsome reel many times but sadly haven’t yet attained any level of proficiency! Thank you too for your card – it’s much appreciated. Very best wishes Paul (and Lindsey) "
