"Lucy performed everything from our ceremony music to the evening and it was absolutely incredible and loved by all! Any request was never too much to do and her personal music we loved! Everyone at the wedding said we nailed our music choice! If I could do it all again, Lucy and her band would be booked again and again.."

"I hired the The Mighty Craic to sing at my post wedding party in a pub. Although id booked them to play early, they had the whole pub dancing at three in the afternoon. They were great Craic, my wife and I couldn’t have been more pleased. The music was great, and they judged the songs to the audience perfectly to keep everyone dancing. Would defiantly recommend them and use them again for the next family event or party."

"Blue Jewel were the best band for my daughter's wedding. They were easy to liaise with ahead of time, and their performance in the evening ceilidh was just what we hoped for. Good music, a lovely relaxed manner from all performers, and patient teaching of the dances to the guests. Our guests did not want them to stop! We would whole-heartedly recommend them for such an occasion. Thank you!"

"I would just like to thank you for the wonderful performance on Sat night at my Daughter’s naming ceremony. We all had a great time, and everybody commented on how great the band was. I never laughed or enjoyed a dance so much and would like to have another party, just to have you play again. Please pass on our thanks to everybody, and we have already passed your details on to other people who are interested."

"Kelly's Heroes were booked to play at my father in law's wake. We wanted a celebration of this man's life and wow did we get one. The Wake was more than we ever hoped for and that was very much due to the wonderful music and energy Helen, Tony , Steve and Patrick brought to the day. I can't speak more highly of you all. It was perfect. Thank you so much. Thank you again so much you are strangers that are now part of our collective memory of Micky's send off. Priceless! Cannot recommend highly enough!!"

"We saw the band as part of the Crystal Palace Overground Festival. The band lit the space up which considering considerable contingent who were only in pub for the soccer was no mean achievement. The set was party friendly and resulted in some very pissed elegant dancing and boisterous enjoyment. The musicianship was of a very high standard and this combined with an obvious love for their material and a familiarity with each other and said material made it a stimulating, life affirming and emotional experience. The music is traditional Klezmer and includes references to balkan music and is lively picking you up and laying you low with melancholy and vigorous celebration."

"I've had the tremendous good fortune to have been asked to call ceilidh dances with Kellys on numerous occasions. It's never difficult to get people up on the dance floor once Helen kicks off on the accordion, and when Steve's driving rhythm guitar comes in, coupled with Tony's pounding bodhran, the only 'problem' is getting people to sit down and have a breather between dances! And when you get Simon and John bumping it up to a 5-piece with fiddle and banjo (plus various pipes and whistles) well, all I can say is "Hold on to your socks!""
