"Following our vegas wedding we had a reception party for friends and family at our favourite bar. Rachel was the perfect fit for the venue and event absolutely everyone thought she was fantastic and it happened to be like a sauna inside which she coped with like a trooper during her energetic first set, as it was so hot we had to do a quick relocation outside which was seemless. Really great energy and Rachel felt absolutely like one of our party guests. Couldn’t rate highly enough. Thank you!"

"You did a great job. I loved the "And Now, This is Me" bit at the end. I've never seen a tribute act before, and I was only there because my wife got tickets for her birthday, but it was a fun night out. Keep it up."

""We were so impressed with It's No Reel. They delivered exactly what they said they would, with no hassle or worries. We couldn't belive they did a cover of the Game of Thrones theme tune. We asked on the off chance, but they did a beautiful version for our first dance. The guests absolutely loved the band. The music got everyone up dancing and seeing everyone so happy made it all worth it. Thank you"."

"Black Velvet Band Irish Trio came to play at our relaxed outdoor pre-wedding get together of about 40 people. The three who made up the band were great – very talented musicians – they played all our favourites as well as some wider material. They were very keen to fit in with what we wanted to hear and gauged the mood as to whether to sing ballads or play jigs (after a few drinks people were up for having a bit of a dance). It was such a joy to hear live music again after all these months of covid restrictions. The Band really made the evening and they were really lovely people."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Steven Larcombe’s Birthday Ceilidh – October 2025 The party-goers – whether seasoned ceilidh dancers or first-timers – loved the band. And they were professional, but also flexible and uncomplaining to deal with. Thank you Black Velvet Band!"

"A big thanks to It's No' Reel for coming to play at our wedding in Norfolk - you were brilliant! Over half the guests were complete novices but thanks to your great calling and tunes you got all the guests involved and everyone loved it! So much for our concerns about people needing encouragement, we could have done with a much bigger dance floor! Tom was very easy to deal with on the run up to the day and flexible on the night. Your recommendation for Strip the Willow for our first dance was a brilliant idea and the spontaneous Auld Lang Syne was a thoughtful touch. The ceilidh was definitely a highlight of the day. We would highly recommend It's No' Reel for any wedding or party! "

"Thank you to both of you for your involvement in a wonderful evening at the Savoy. We were aiming for a fun yet sophisticated event during which the girls and parents could be together for one last time before the exams and then leaving Wycombe Abbey and you fulfilled the brief completely. Your set during dinner was pitch perfect, beginning with gentle, mellifluous music to provide a sympathetic background to the general chit-chat over dinner. An hour later, the guests had forgotten their chatter and were totally absorbed in the consummate performance of lively and accomplished numbers."

"Booked Paddy for a 40th birthday party at a smallish venue. He was incredible! Asked for three diverse song requests beforehand and he absolutely nailed them all. All other songs in the set complimented each other and everyone was up in their feet dancing. I made the mistake of booking for 1 hour only… definitely book for longer as the performance was amazing and if you are lucky enough to book Paddy, you and your guests will not want him to stop singing/playing. Paddy is a real talent and you will not be disappointed! "
