"Rastrum arrived with plenty of time to set up and prepare for our party. It was a fabulous evening which was made possible by the band. The music was fun and lively and almost every person in the hall danced all night. Thank you so much and I would highly recommend them for your next barn dance."

"A few friends and I went to see G Celtic Folk Rock Band in Pontefract on Friday. What a fantastic talented bunch of musicians these guys are. They delivered punchy folk rock songs, which are mostly their own with a few individual interpretations of some classics throughout the night. Brilliant stuff and highly entertaining. A great venue too, and cannot wait for them to return."

"We were more than happy with the band. It was a great experience for the guests and host, everyone commented on how good they were. They were well suited to the venue and created a great atmosphere. We would be more than happy to recommend Blackthorn and your service in the future."

"Charlotte and I are so grateful for your epic performance. Your piping significantly contributed to the success of the day and made it even more memorable. We are grateful that you kindly stayed around and kindly piped us to our table. We really appreciate that you took pride in your piping and went the extra mile to make our day so special."

"This band is smashing! So lively and interactive. I've seen then hold hundreds of people spellbound with their music and then have them all up and dancing in a lovely way. Well done Shamrock Experience - keep rockin'"

"We just arrived back this weekend and wanted to say a big thank you for the wonderful music you and Sarah-Jane provided at our daughter's wedding on the 3rd August. You really added that extra special touch to what we thought was a fabulous day for them - it really was much appreciated."

"A huge thankyou to Alistair and his fellow musicians who played at our party on Saturday. The music and combination of dances was perfect and we had many comments on your patience with our lack of prowess on the dance floor!  A great band makes the evening and you certainly did that for us. We all enjoyed it enormously and many of the thankyou letters we have received said what a superb band you were. All we need now is an excuse to ask you back again ! "

"For the third year The Brixham Pirate Festival will have The Extonions playing on the Main Stage. Pirates are a discerning crew and The Extonions had them a jiggin' and toe tappin' throughout their set. HUZZAH!!!"

Reply by Irish Band: The Extonions
Thank younRuss , while it lasted under your management, we though roughly enjoyed every moment as did the crowd. People often ask why we are not playing anymore on the main stage, and we have to say, we don't know.

"Sophie and I just wanted to thank you guys so much for keeping everyone entertained during our wedding day back in August, you managed to do exactly what we had wanted and did with such high spirits.Thanks also for being so accommodating all my little surprises like learning the music so that Samantha could sing the first song, and sorry for not having time to sing Kiss From A Rose. I'm sure you would have nailed that too though. Wishing The Shooglers all the best for the future, I'll always happily recommend you to friends. "

"F.O.B. Band were amazing! The music was fantastic and the band members were so lovely. We had the best time! The dances were easy to follow and the caller was so patient with us all. We had a five year old and an 87 year old dancing with us which was fantastic. Highly recommend for an event that will cater for everyone regardless of age or fitness."

"Alexis was a big hit last night so if there are any dates in the near future that can work I think it’s best to book him in now. He really enjoyed it as well! "

"With only two days notice Patrick fulfilled my expectations on what was a very emotional and sad day. Communication in emails between us was very good and timely and nothing was too much trouble. He arrived well in advance of the funeral to give him time to warm up the pipes and all those arriving were very appreciative. The deceased, my partner was from Scotland. He loved the bagpipes and would have been mightily impressed. My original Piper, sadly, was suddenly taken ill and as an organisation you certainly lived up to your name of 'Last minute musicians.' At a very anxious time, with constant updates, you made the whole booking process very easy. Thank you. I would highly recommend you. "
