Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"I want to say thank you for coming along to play at Fonmon a couple of weeks ago. We really enjoyed having you there and listening to you play, and the general consensus from our guests was that you were great. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend! Thanks again for helping to make the day such a memorable one."

"The Shooglers have played for us twice now and I can't wait to get them booked for next year! They have been a huge hit at both charity ceilidhs which we have organised, people attending telling us how great they thought they were. The band are so easy to work with, they are a friendly bunch and are very talented. Their music is fantastic, it's such a relief knowing that if anything else goes wrong on the night the music will be first class. They have banter with the guests and call dances brilliantly. They are definitely going to be the first people I get in touch with when I start organising next year's ceilidh. I'd recommend them to everyone, I've already passed on contact details to several people who loved their sound. Thanks again boys, can't wait to work with you again soon! :) Thanks again for an awesome ceilidh! "

"Please thank the band so much, we truly think they made the occasion all the more special. They definitely added a WOW factor. Our guests have all commented on how great they were. They allowed and actively encouraged audience participation which delighted many of our guests (especially the ones who could actually sing!). They arrived early and were very accommodating to our schedule as we did run slightly behind. Having the band join in our first dance song saw the dance floor filled from beginning to end. Hopefully they enjoyed the night, the brides certainly woke up having thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The process of booking, setting up and the actual event was all too easy. Thank you for your help in arranging all of our particular requests and getting us started with the spotify list, it made our job of organising this wedding that much easier."

All of our guests were blown away by the quality of their performance and they made our special day even more special. "

"Last night’s performance by award-winning modern country duo Adele & Andy at The Quarter @ Potbank was nothing short of captivating. From the moment they took to the stage, the pair’s natural chemistry and polished artistry had the audience hooked. Adele’s vocals were a true highlight of the evening – clear, beautiful, and utterly sensational. Her silky, rich tones carried every lyric with both emotion and precision, drawing listeners into each song’s story. Andy’s guitar work, subtle yet powerful, provided the perfect backdrop, allowing Adele’s voice to shine while adding depth and texture to their sound. Their set, rooted in personal life experiences and heartfelt storytelling, resonated strongly with the crowd. It’s easy to see why Adele & Andy have built such a loyal following — their authenticity, warmth, and musical talent create a connection that feels both personal and universal. The audience response was electric, with cheers and applause that proved just how much this duo is loved by their fans. By the final chord, it was clear that Adele & Andy had not only met expectations but exceeded them, leaving everyone eager for their next appearance at Potbank."

"The Hearts played at our wedding reception recently, and we couldn't be happier with the evening! The bland played a great set and our guests were glued to the dancefloor! They also handled the music during the breaks and this kept the flow of the night going seamlessly . Thanks very much guys!"

"If you want to see a unique band, go see The Stun Gunz. It was the best night I have had in ages. I have seen lots of bands locally and they all play the same generic 80's ballads which have become tedious. The Stun Gunz are a breath of fresh air. That play a well balanced blend of music. To appeal to everyone in the crowd. Can't wait to the next gig."

"I booked this band for my daughter's wedding. They were approachable and professional, and many of our guests who had not previously attended a ceilidh highlighted how much they enjoyed the experience, also commenting on how the members of the band were happy to talk and answer questions from guests that approached them. I would highly recommend The Northern Reel Collective and I thank them once again for providing their services for what was a very special and memorable day."

"Paddy K, thank you so very much for being such a special part of our wedding day. From singing in church, to entertaining at our reception venue, you were exactly what we wanted… such an amazing voice! So many of our guests commented on how brilliant you were. I just wish I could have listened to you for longer! You have been brilliant from start to finish, nothing was a problem for you. Thank you for learning the songs we asked you to perform in church… it really made it so perfect for us. Thank you Paddy K! X"
