Everyone has been talking about it for the past three weeks and for us it simply was the icing on the cake, what a way to finish a wedding! Please make sure you pass on our thanks to your band and keep on playing because your act is faultless. From a very happy customer, thank you!!"

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding on 28th July. You we’re awesome! I spent ages looking at bands for our wedding as for me, a band can make or break the evening. Although I liked what I heard on your website, it doesn’t do you justice to when you play live! When Rob and I heard you sound checking we both looked at each other and thought, these guys sound really good. But when you actually started playing, you had the whole wedding party dancing for the entire evening, you absolutely rocked the place! We had nothing but compliments on how great our band were, and I hope you don’t mind but I’ve passed on your details to a few people who requested them. I really hope we get the opportunity to book you guys again for any future parties we have! "

"The Fab 5 kicked off the Covers Band Stage in Kingsbury with a very impressive set, and their half hour slot didn’t seem long enough."

"I book Dizzy Brasscals for my wedding and they were a huuuge success. Everyone loved them and the dance floor was full from the time they started right up until the end. I lost count of the number of guest who came up to me on the night to tell me how great they thought they were. In the lead up to the wedding I found that they were fantastic at replying to emails and keeping in touch. The guys are so friendly and professional, best booking I made by far!"

"What an amazing band! I’ve heard bands which are great at the Scottish ceilidh stuff but not very good at any other styles. I’ve heard bands which are great at pop/rock/country/indie covers but couldn’t play a ceilidh dance to save their lives. You guys are amazing! You can play all the Scottish ceilidh stuff AND make it rocky AND play all these other styles from pop to rock to country to whatever! Amazing! "

"Widely regarded as one of Wales’ foremost traditional bands, since their formation in 1996, Allan Yn Y Fan have taken Welsh traditional music all over the world. Wednesday 28th March, however, saw the band performing closer to home with a gig at one of their favourite venues, Blackwood Miner’s Institute. The evening took the format of two halves with an interval and this six piece band entertained us with a selection of traditional Welsh songs and tunes interspersed with original compositions, mainly from the pen of founder member Kate Strudwick but also with contributions from Chris Jones and Alan Cooper. All the music was taken from across the band’s 22 year career and took us on a journey from the Festival Interceltique at L’Orient to sparsely attended performances in Ireland before returning to Wales across a stormy Irish Sea, stopping to remember Kate’s former landlady and her cat along, the way. The songs were mainly entrusted to Catrin O’Neill who, since joining the band in 2015, has taken on the role of lead vocalist and her vocal style adds a haunting quality to such songs as Dafydd Y Garreg Wen and Lisa Lân, both of which take the passing of a loved one as their subject matter, Catrin’s versatility means she is equally at home singing about hopeful love, as in Ym Mhontypridd Mae’n Nghariad, or the celebratory staples of the Mari Lwyd in Pwnco and Canu Cwnsela or rousing songs of workers' rights, as in Gorthrwm Y Gweithiwr with its dire warning to the Victorian Ironmasters of Beaufort. This evening had all the ingredients needed to make a memorable performance, six talented performers who obviously enjoy performing together and transmitted that joy through their music to an appreciative audience, a quality venue with friendly staff and a crystal clear sound system ensuring that none of the music’s nuances were lost. It was a pleasure to attend this concert and I look forward to seeing Allan Yn Y Fan perform again in the not too distant future. "

"These guys were excellent. They travelled quite some distance to play at my husband's birthday party and were extremely well received by all of our guests. I would recommend them highly to anyone considering a steel band."

"Hey guys, Thank you for playing at our wedding on Sunday in The Drumossie. It was a brilliant performance and made the evening really memorable for everyone. Still not sure how you got Another Brick in the Wall into a ceilidh dance but it worked and it was impressive! Couldn’t have been better. Thanks so much, Graham and Louise! "

"Absolutely outstanding! This band is a total game-changer. From the moment we booked them, the communication was seamless, and they were incredibly professional and organised. The energy they brought to the event was electric—every song was spot on, with an incredible mix of hits that had everyone dancing all night long. They arrived early, set up without a hitch, and were ready to go well ahead of time. Their performance was nothing short of phenomenal, and they truly made the night unforgettable. If you're looking for a band that knows how to create an unforgettable atmosphere and deliver the best party vibes, look no further. Highly recommend "

"Thank you for being so fantastic tonight. Rave reviews from everyone. Thank you. Need to organise something else so we can use you again. We estimate raising slightly over £10000 for Sallyanne. It'll really help with the conversion of the her house. Thanks again all. Alison, Organiser, Spinal injury Charity event, Feb 2017"

"W4S are the most excellent band for getting a party going from start to finish. Some guests got up first, then were joined by more and more, don't think for one spare moment the dance floor was empty. Everyone had a brilliant time and it's mostly thanks to these guys for the great music and knowing what the crowd would enjoy. We would highly recommend them to get your party going with a bang."

"Boots & Buckles were amazing, I seriously couldn't fault them. Communication was great in the lead up to the event and on the day their performance was outstanding. I received lots of positive feedback from everyone who attended the event about "how great the band was" and I would definitely recommend then for any Country and Western themed events. They managed to get people on their feet dancing and were extremely flexible in terms of timings, etc on the day. Thank you !"

"Thank you for your message. We were so pleased and impressed with the band. Thank you for playing so brilliantly and for your relaxed and accommodating attitude. You made our day very special especially playing the requested songs so well. I know my Dad, Sue and Becks really enjoyed singing with the band and you made it so easy for them. Particularly enjoyed our first dance! Thanks ever so much."
