Booked for Wedding

We booked Phil for our wedding and he was amazing! He was patient with our guests and got everyone up and dancing, it was magical seeing so many of our friends who don't dance joining in. We would definitely highly recommend Phil!!

Booked for Wedding

The lads from Behans Footsteps were great from start to finish. We wanted some traditional Irish music to play as guests arrived at our wedding and Barney was very accommodating with their choice of tunes. We would highly recommend them for their professionalism and quality of playing.

Booked for Birthday party

Thank you so much what a super band, they really made my party by playing before hand while our guests had drinks and for the dance in the fabulous barn at The Chequers in Heaverham near Sevenoaks. All guests danced our socks off, great fun! We thoroughly recommend A2 Band for all ages.

Booked for Wedding

I can’t thank Debby and the band enough as they had everyone up dancing and we all had such a wonderful time. I highly recommend and guarantee they will make your party the most memorable event. Thanks again you were absolutely amazing x

Booked for Private party

The Black Velvet Band trio were extremely talented musicians who delivered a good range of Irish tunes to a very high standard, although surprisingly not the song "The Black Velvet Band"! Overall they provided a great nights entertainment, I think there could have been a little more interaction with the audience, but I would recommend them to anyone wanting to hold an Irish themed night. Unfortunately we were not allowed dancing due to restrictions, once these are lifted the night would be even better.
