"Hi Mark, just a quick note to thank you for all your efforts on Saturday. Many of the daytime guests had left, but those who stayed all said you were fantastic! Very glad we found you."

"We had a brilliant time with Mark at the helm. I am no musician so I asked two of the guests to help me with selecting someone and when they saw Mark play they agreed that he was just fantastic. He is not only a very talented musician and singer but he knew how to interact with the party and lift the music as the party developed.. I would recommend Mark without question."

"Totally Blown Away……. We had arranged a small celebration in a local village hall for our friends and family and the venue itself was tiny. We looked around to try and find a band to entertain our guests, the majority of which were at the older end of the spectrum. We spent weeks and weeks searching without success and almost changed our plans but eventually came across Kelly & Graham. Having looked at their videos we were amazed how versatile they were but given the fact they were based over 200 miles away we were resigned to the fact they probably wouldn’t travel so far for a one off event. We needn’t have worried, Kelly put us at ease straight away and accepted the booking. She is a great communicator and kept us totally up to speed throughout the process. We were pretty stressed out with co-ordinating the whole event but she promised that we did not have to worry about the music and she was right. They arrived early and set up their equipment and mingled with our guests. We had selected the music to perform from their vast songbook and also added a couple of songs that meant a lot to us. They were brilliant. The night went with a bang. Everyone who came that evening has spoken to us to say how good they were. Kelly’s voice is amazing and Grahams guitar playing is fantastic. If you need a band to entertain your guests no matter how big or small the party, then you need to book these two, you will not be disappointed "

"Thank you soooo much for making Pips’ birthday so special!!! Everybody loved you and I’ll sure you’ll be playing in Chalford again soon with the amount of people asking where we booked you from. We’ll also send you some pics from the night too! Thanks again Mark you’re an absolute star!"

"Just a quick note to say a huge thank you to John and the band from Jo & myself and all the guests, we had a fantastic night and have since received many comments on how good the band was. Quality musicians sure to fill the floor every time. Perfect "

"No festival in Conwy would be complete without dancing in the streets. This was provided courtesy of the Wee Bag Band who played their irresistible brand of acoustic Irish music."

"Black Velvet Band Irish Duo yet again provided fantastic music at our Christmas party. The duo are so flexible and helpful - this year they played quite a few Scottish reels etc for our Highland Themed Party which was perfect. The vibe was also just right and got lots of people up and dancing. It was a key contribution to the overall atmosphere. Please thank them for me. I highly recommend them! "

"We had an amazing time and everyone has said how much they enjoyed it. Even a couple of friends who were very sceptical of Ceilidhs were won over and had a great time! One of my American friends who had no experience of folk music just walked up to me and said 'This is the best thing since....just the best'."

"Excellent acoustic soloist. Can not recommend highly enough. He had everyone up and singing and I’ve been asked when he’s coming back already! Top night."

"Thursday night was a blast. Couldn’t have gone any better! On Thursday the 25th of January, the Exeter Caledonian Society hosted a Burns Night Ball accompanied by the Black Velvet Band. The band was brilliant. Their musical prowess, stamina and all round musicianship was a joy to work with - and to listen to - making the night ever better. I am so thankful for what they did. The band is easy to work with, knowledgeable about timings and can cater to any requirements. "

"Booked these guys for my wife's 60th birthday and we weren't disappointed. A great evening, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves - and a very patient caller (given none of us knew what to do!!) "
