Review Centre: Barn Dance Bands

"Ben is an incredibly talented musician. Our venue was too small for the full band so Ben played at the Church and at the drinks reception alone. He composed a piece of music for us, and guests came up to us throughout the evening and even the day afterwards to tell us how moving the music was and how interesting and accommodating Ben was when asked questions about his unusual looking equipment! We loved him so much we immediately booked him to play at our next event. Highly recommend. "

"Blue Jewel were brilliant at our fundraising Ceilidh for Ukrainian Action. They filled Hunts Cider Barn with vigorous, happy dancers and we'll certainly want them again for any similar events in future."

"Thank you so much for the barndance for the youth orchestra on Monday. It was fantastic. The dances were great for our range of students and got them mixing superbly. To see our youngest Y5 student dancing with one of our tallest 6th formers was a sight to behold! The whole evening was simply brilliant - I don’t think I recall one before when everyone joined in every single dance. ""

"We booked the band for our wedding reception back in October. We are both huge Irish music fans and have had several memorable trips to Ireland so it was especially important to us to have a live Irish band on our big day. We spend a fair amount of time looking for the “perfect Irish band” and were over the moon to have found the Extonions. From the initial enquiry Mac was both friendly and very professional. He instantly made us feel like we had made the right decision and was more than happy to include any special song requests we had. He then made sure they included on the night and that everyone had a great time. All the band members were lovely and friendly chatting to our guests and fitted in perfectly with our relaxed party atmosphere. Many of our guests have commented on how great they were and we would not hesitate in booking them again in the future or recommending them to others. Thanks so much for making our wedding day so memorable."

"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding. You really livened the atmosphere and made the evening really special. I loved the first dance – the Braveheart theme segueing into “The Banshee” - and I’ll never be able to think of the Wild Rover in the same way again!"

"Ben and the Shamrock Experience provided us with music for our wedding day and they proved to be the perfect wedding band. From the moment we booked, we were in contact, meaning we were confident with our wedding music throughout the whole planning process. Ben provided some beautiful music for the church which suited the occasion perfectly. Later in the evening the band provided a ceilidh that all of our wedding guests loved followed by some traditional Irish music which brought the house down (in a good way!) We couldn't recommend the Shamrock Experience enough, they truly made our day - thanks guys!"

"Dermot was incredible!! Himself and the two other musicians were absolutely fantastic and were the highlight of the night! They even let me sing with them which was a real honor. Everybody was asking me where i found the band and how they could book them for future parties. Highly recommended :)"

"We hired the Edinburgh Ceilidh Trio for our wedding and they were fantastic, we had 3 hours of playing and I don't think the dance floor was empty once. They were great at explaining the dances to the guests, allowing them to quickly learn the dances and have a go. Many of the guests - most of which had never done a ceilidh before - all reported how much fun they had. "

"We had Blue Jewel to play at our wedding in December. They were absolutely brilliant. The caller was great with clear instructions and nothing was too complicated. We had lots of guests who had never been to a ceilidh before and were up dancing all evening. It was so much fun, and our family and friends are still talking about it now. We would recommend Blue Jewel without reservation!"
