"We had the absolute pleasure of having Craic With Us perform at our wedding, and they completely exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, they brought incredible energy, professionalism, and talent to our special day. Their traditional Irish music was breathtaking and set the perfect tone during the early part of the evening. It was authentic, vibrant, and played with real heart. When it came time for the ceilidh, they had everyone—young and old—up on their feet. Lilac explained the dances so clearly and with such fun energy that even guests who had never done a ceilidh before were dancing with huge smiles on their faces. It was one of the absolute highlights of the day! Later, they transitioned seamlessly into their DJ set, keeping the dance floor packed until the very end. They read the room perfectly and played a brilliant mix of songs that appealed to all ages. So many of our guests have told us how much they loved the music and the atmosphere it created. Sound with Us brought something truly special to our wedding, and we can’t thank them enough. If you're looking for a band that can do it all—live Irish music, ceilidh calling, and DJing—look no further. They are phenomenal!"

"A few friends and I went to see G Celtic Folk Rock Band in Pontefract on Friday. What a fantastic talented bunch of musicians these guys are. They delivered punchy folk rock songs, which are mostly their own with a few individual interpretations of some classics throughout the night. Brilliant stuff and highly entertaining. A great venue too, and cannot wait for them to return."

"Dermot played yesterday at the funeral of my mother-in-law, who was an Irish historian, and was sensational. Sensitive, thoughtful, joyful and deeply moving. It was, as they say, exactly what she would have wanted, and was greatly appreciated by everyone there. Thank you!"

"Fantastic band, great musicians, great calling, great variety and energy. Four people on the dance floor early and got our wedding party to go off with a bang! Had the four piece band. Good value also."

"From the initial enquiry right the way through to the event, both the service and level of communication was excellent. Definitely highly recommend the service offered by LastMinuteMusicians. But, more importantly, Josh was absolutely amazing, and he soon had everyone singing along, clapping and dancing from the off. And bearing in mind our event was a small family gathering of around 30 people (in our garden) to celebrate our son's wedding, with an age range of 1 - 75 years, that was no mean feat ! Our small grandchildren really enjoyed every song and Josh responded amazingly by playing the songs that kept everyone dancing. It was so lovely to see them enjoying the live music, and we have lovely photos and videos to treasure. Thank you so much, you delivered on all counts"

"I recently organised a surprise 40th birthday barn dance for my wife’s 40th birthday. Kip whom I was in contact with prior to the event was helpful and a breeze to deal with and when it came to the event itself Kip and the band were absolutely amazing! Thank you so much the three of you, you really made it a fun, hilarious and quality evening that we will always remember. So many people who’d never been to a barn dance have since said to me they are converts, and those that already had experience of ceilidhs extolled your virtues too. These things can hinge on the caller and Kip gauged the crowd perfectly - really making sure we all had a fantastic evening. Thank you so much again, would not hesitate to recommend or book again. Please let us know when you play at Plympton Guildhall next, we will definitely be there. Best Greg"

"We were really pleased that we had booked the Black Velvet band for a ceilidh at our daughter’s wedding at Old Down Manor. Before the event they spoke to our daughter and planned with her exactly what she would like from them, the type of music and how they would organise the evening so that she and her new husband could be ‘danced out’ at the end. On the day the band arrived in good time with all the appropriate equipment for the location. The performance was very professional, the music great and they got all the guests dancing along. The caller’s instructions were clear. So overall we were very happy and would definitely recommend them."
