"Unwritten Duo regularly perform at our pub and never fail to impress. The Punters love them and they pack the place out on their music nights. They keep the atmosphere going with their incredible upbeat live sets and DJ music with lighting. I highly recommend them for any event or venue. We have them booked for our wedding next year too! "

"These guys provided such an awesome ceilidh at our wedding. We had a lot of in experienced and multinational guests and the caller did an incredible job of getting everyone involved and having fun. It was a real highlight of the night for us and we can't recommend these guys enough!"

"Blue Jewel were absolutely excellent at our village hall Ceilidh. Fabulous musicians, great performance and huge enthusiasm. 100 people of all ages were on the dance floor revelling in the wonderful entertainment they provided. They were also highly organised which ensured the event went very smoothly. Highly recommend Kip and Blue Jewel for your social event!"

"Hi John, It's Ruth here - the Birthday girl from the Klezmer Keilidh on 20th Apr. I wanted to thank you and Band for a simply wonderful evening. Everyone had a fabulous time, people have come up and said to me "as soon as the Band started playing" they just had to "get up and dance!" Another friend said that he had the "Best fun ever" The first piece was great at getting everyone up and involved. Really fun. Then I appreciated being able to lead Tsadik Katamar, and Jerusalama. Having some dances in 2s, and other in 3s allowed for those who came as a couple, or who came on their own to join with others. Thank you so, so much, again. Best wishes, Ruth"

"What can I say? If you are a fan of Irish music, instrumental or with vocals then Dermot and the rest of the amazing musicians are who you need to hire! They were an absolute joy and a pleasure to have play at my beloved father's wake. They are such lovely and friendly people as well as fantastic musicians with a vast array of instrumentation between them. They graciously accepted requests prior to the event and also from some of the guests. My dad would have absolutely loved it and it made a very sad day very joyful and comforting for everyone. Our guests commented on how wonderful they were and the pub staff as well. I highly recommend hiring Dermot and the gang for any event, not just a wake. Communication was excellent before hand and hiring Dermot and the band were the easiest part of the many arrangements that we had to make when organising our dad's funeral and a wake. We sincerely thank you and highly recommend you, The O'Brien family."

"The ceilidh band were amazing! Our gala evening was especially for a group of 10 year olds but adults attended too. The caller, Mick, explained the steps clearly for them to follow, and used children and adults to demonstrate so they could follow. The music was lively, loud and energetic and everyone got up to dance! We have booked the band before and I would definitely book the band again. Thank you for making our evening such a great success."

"I can not recommend Georgia enough. We booked her very early on when planning our wedding and things moved around right up to the day before the big day. Georgia was completely calm and flexible and just did her own thing. I didn't have to think about directing her for a second on the day she just read the room and was in the exact right place at the right time. The music she chose was perfect and really set the atmosphere throughout the day. She did a cover of our song as I walked down the aisle and it was the most beautiful version we've ever heard. Her and Louis then did a quick 30 minute set during the canape and cocktail reception which got people ready to move into the main hall for dinner. They then finished off with the first dance, the father/daughter dance and then a bunch of songs to get people up and dancing. Her voice is incredible and she has this incredible ability to get people up and moving whilst providing a tone where people can still talk at the tables if they wanted to. We've been to too many weddings where the music was too loud and if you wanted to sit a song out you had to leave the room so it was really important to us to get the right balance. Georgia was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and we are so thrilled her and Louis were a part of our big day!! What a talent!"

"We absolutely loved Stargazers. We booked the acoustic duo for the afternoon drinks reception at our wedding and then the rest of the band for the evening. They were fantastic and the dance floor was full all night. We have had lots of positive feedback from our guests with lots of people asking where we found them. Thank you so much for making our first dance and wedding so special. We would definitely recommend Stargazers and book again!"

"The beautiful music from Oysland created a palpable sense of excitement and joy among the guests that set the tone for the entire day. It was amazing walking down the aisle to Lori's lovely voice, and we could tell that all of the band had put so much effort into making sure everything was perfect. Everyone said that the music was on a different level, even the registrar, who must have heard a lot of wedding music. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts - and we will recommend you to anyone who is having a simcha!"

"Thank you so much for the wonderful ceilidh you gave us on Saturday. Everyone had a great time and the step we gaily first dance worked really well. You all worked so hard and just kept going; it was perfect. Please thank the other two band members for me. I really appreciate your talent and dedication."

"Funk With Us were extraordinary from start to finish. Both Lilac and her partner Remko were very helpful in the lead up to our Wedding and made a huge effort to understand what we wanted from the evening and how to tailor the sets towards our own music tastes. On the night itself, we couldn't have been more impressed. Lilac set the tone for the entire night and really made our Wedding everything we'd dreamed it to be. If you want to have an evening of amazing music led by a highly talented and exciting performer to wow you and your guests, then you really must choose the Funk With Us! I cannot wait to use them again in the future for big life events."
