Reviews of Irish Bands

Evelyn Mackey
"Gina was amazing! She was very engaged in the planning before my event and nothing was too much trouble. On the evening she played and sang beautifully and I received many compliments on how her talented performance contributed to my special Mass."

Paddy R
"I've seen Paddy a few times at my local pub. A fantastically talented entertainer. He is really accommodating to any requests and really revels in the banter which goes along with a Glasgow gig. Always a great watch, highly recommended. "

Tracy Good
"Dear Tracy, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for your beautiful performance on 24 July – it was absolutely perfect. The moment you walked through the restaurant playing “All of Me” was incredibly moving. From that point on, Sabrina started to realise that something very special was about to happen – and it truly was. Your presence and music created exactly the magic I had imagined. Please also pass on my warmest thanks to Phil for capturing the moment so discreetly and beautifully. Our families were thrilled to see the video – it brought them so much joy. Thank you again for helping make this evening so memorable. We will carry it in our hearts forever. "

Booking irish bands as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. It’s sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain.If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.
