"We had The Big Moose Ceilidh Band play at our wedding recently and they were amazing! From start to finish communication was easy, Shuggie was really helpful when we were choosing our songs and on the night, the calling was solid, steps were easy to follow (even for those new to Ceilidh) and everyone was up and dancing! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Shuggie and his team of music playing bandits for any event. Thanks for such a fun night! "

"Hi Matt… I wanted to thank you and the Band for great music at our anniversary party. You played the perfect mix of songs to get everyone dancing……. Everyone said how great you were, I just wish the party could have gone on for longer. People also commented on the great guitar playing – but you were all fantastic. Please pass our thanks on to the band, you played an important part in a truly memorable evening. Best wishes, Alison and David. "

"absolutely brilliant, I don’t think I've ever seen such a professional artist play at a wedding - it was certainly more like a gig! and we were lucky enough to have a solo acoustic performance from Dan of a beautiful love song! It was magical!"

"Melody avenue were absolutely amazing as our wedding band. Micki sent us her repertoire and let us pick the songs we wanted the band to play, we picked a pretty high-energy set and the band absolutely smashed it! The dance floor was full for the whole evening and all our family and friends had the best time. Micki's voice is amazing and all our friends commented saying they had the best time dancing. Thank you so much, Melody Avenue - we would definitely recommend you!! "

"I wanted to follow up on your wedding performance on the 24th November. Your band's performance was excellent and everyone had a wonderful time; I can't tell you how many people came up to me to ask where we found you and how good they said you all were. As a 'small' band you put out a 'big band sound' witness the crowded dance floor. "

"To add to the family review posted previously, on a more practical note... Patrick was wonderfully organised, when I spoke to him after booking he'd already checked Google maps to work out how long it would take to get to the venue and added half an hour for delays. He'd looked at Google earth to recce the site, and thought about additional music to supplement what I'd requested. He was there ahead of time, and was completely relaxed and supportive when I was in a big flap about everything. And of course, the music was perfect, beautiful, exactly as I'd hoped it would be. I couldn't recommend Patrick highly enough if you're looking for someone compassionate and efficient to make a very sad event very special."

"The Harvest Men brought the festival vibes to our summer party. Guests raved about the acoustic soloist."

"The Covered performed at my wedding . I couldn't have asked for a better band - their performance was slick and energetic from start to finish. They covered modern songs, just as well as old classics. Every member of this band is a total star, each of them standing out in their own way. They performed some of mine and my husbands favourite songs, reducing us to tears with the emotional ballads and making every person in the 100 strong crowd dancing till the early hours with the faster numbers! I also appreciated John's organisation in the lead up to the day, he knew the best timings to suggest, the best order of songs, the best way to do the sound check. He leaves no stone unturned. Without a doubt, the best decision we made on our wedding day to have them perform. I could not recommend them more. 10/10."

"These guys were a class act. We booked the Grogibear 4-Piece for our wedding and they were soooo good. Their rendition of a bar song (tipsy) by shamboozey was a particular highlight! 5 stars!"
