"I just wanted to drop you a note to say how brilliant Dermot and Co. were on Saturday. Everyone had a fantastic time and even those who couldn't dance were laughing and joining in by clapping and cheering. It really was a great night and we have had alot of great feedback. In the next couple of months I am going to start work on next years diary (I need to forward plan a bit more next time!) and I will definitely be giving you a call to book Dermot again."

"Funk With Us played at our wedding this weekend and they were absolutely FANTASTIC! High energy, super helpful and just a pleasure to work with, we cannot recommend them highly enough! Lilac and Remko both spoke with us in advance to get to know us a little better and find out more about the type of music we were interested in. Lilac gave us a call in the lead up, was available via whatsapp and was just generally super helpful. On the night of our wedding the dance floor was always filled with everyone singing and dancing along and having a really great time! So, so, so pleased we booked Funk With Us, thanks for making our wedding evening so awesome! Thanks Lilac, Remko and the rest of the band! "

"We hired Craic With Us for our wedding in August 2019. I cannot recommend this band enough, they are absolutely incredible. Their energy is amazing and had the dance floor full for the entire day and night. We've had so much positive feedback about the band from our wedding guests...which is 100% deserved. ABSOLUTLEY FANTASIC X"

All you guys made a ordinary night into a fun night i could see everyone enjoyed your varied music. I believe our neighbour has taken your card and is thinking of using your services once again, thanks for a memorable evening|! PS the caller made all the difference!"

"Hi Mick & band, I hope you had a lovely rest of your weekend! I just wanted to say a huge thank you on behalf of myself, Kealan, and everyone who attended our event! (7th March 2026 Saturday Hammersmith Club Society limited, 11 Rutland Grove, Hammersmith, London, W6 9DH) You truly saved the day by stepping in at the last minute, and we were so impressed by how flexible and professional you were throughout. You guys were absolutely superb. We had a fantastic night dancing to your music and so many of the guests have asked us to pass on their thanks and how much they enjoy it. It made a really fun evening and thank you again. Hopefully, we will see you all again in the future at another ball! Thanks, Annie Macdonald 11th March 2026"

"Loved having them churn out the reels at a private party. (13th September 2025 Saturday Chesterton Road, Cambridge CB4) Couldn’t have been happier with our choice. I think they read the audience well and our (in) capabilities at following instruction, which meant that we did enough right to keep the dances going and cause enough confusion for fun and hilarity to shine through. Brilliant night. Can’t wait for another excuse to have these four back again. Thank you so much for a fantastic evening. Tamsin Morse 16th September 2025"

"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."

"The band were absolutely fantastic and were great for a party at the pub! They drove all the way from London to North Yorkshire to play for our wedding welcome party. They played so well and got all our guests dancing all night! The choice of songs were great and all band members were really nice and professional! A big thank you to all 3 of them!"

"Just to say a huge thank you to yourself and the rest of your band members who attended our wedding celebratory party on sat 2nd September at our home in the Brecon Beacons. A lot of our guests (some of whom are professional/semi-professional players themselves in other ceilidh bands in England and Scotland!) commented on the high standard of your musical performance as well as your ability to inspire them to put their feet on the dance floor without too many mishaps. So please pass on our thanks to your colleagues. "

"Many thanks for making the evening a wonderful event. Everyone had enjoyed themselves thoroughly and had a fantastic evening. Your band really made a difference and was the cherry on top of the event. I have arranged with our admin guys the cheque which has been sent today. Do you perform in the west country at all? Seeing if I can get based back down Plymouth next year and will recommend you to the mess down there. Thank you mac Nov 2011"

"Blue Jewel played for us at a birthday party, they were 'toe tapping amazing'!.... Friendly guys and very professional. We had any guests asking the name of the band and complementing us on the choice of music. Would DEFINATELY reccomend and book again. Thanks boys."

"Dear Patrick, Thank you so much again for your wonderful music last Friday. To see my father piped up to and into the crematorium was one of the most beautiful and heart-breaking moments of my life, and though it was sad, I can't thank you enough for the most perfect tribute to a life well lived."

"Kip and his band were absolutely amazing. We had an unusual wedding venue and they made it work so that it was just perfect. I was overwhelmed with all the care and attention that they put into the calls and making sure everyone was included from very young to older guests. Anyone who has a wedding really knows that it flies by for the bride and groom but Kip made sure we were called to dance so we also had the opportunity to enjoy the music. We will be hiring these guys again as they were brilliant and fantastic musicians. You made the day so special, we can't thank you enough. Rachel and Christian x"
