Booked for Corporate Function

The O’Marleys Irish Band delivered an absolutely outstanding performance for our St Patrick’s Day celebration! From the moment they struck the first chord, the atmosphere transformed — lively, authentic, and full of that unmistakable Irish charm. Their musicianship was exceptional, blending traditional Irish folk tunes with high‑energy crowd‑pleasers that had everyone tapping their feet (and many up dancing!). Each member of the band brought incredible talent and personality to the stage, creating a warm, engaging presence that made the entire event feel special. What truly set The O’Marleys apart was their professionalism and passion. They were easy to work with, perfectly prepared, and completely dedicated to giving us a memorable experience. Their ability to read the room and adjust the energy kept the celebration flowing perfectly from start to finish. Whether you’re planning a military function, a community event, or a private celebration, I couldn’t recommend The O’Marleys more highly. They turned our St Patrick’s Day into a genuinely unforgettable occasion, and we’ll absolutely be looking to bring them back again.

Booked for Wedding

We had the pleasure of Oscar and Barney perform at our wedding. We both have irish heritage and were really looking for an authentic 'irish bar' experience for the change around time. Oscar and Barney we're so accommodating allowing us to select a more flexible option for what we wanted in terms of timings to fit in to our day perfectly. They were very happy to make our irish bar vision come to life! So many people came up to us after about how fantastic they had been. We couldn't recommend them enough.

Booked for Birthday party

Great from initial enquiry to performing their set. Really good communication and very friendly guys, my Dad loved it for his birthday, as did the 30 other guests. Highly recommend.

Booked for Birthday party

Behan’s Footsteps came to play at my husband’s 60th birthday party, they were absolutely fantastic and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing good music at their event. They responded very quickly to my queries and requests and were an absolute pleasure to deal with, we would hire them again if we have another ‘do’

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.

Booked for Celebration

These guys were fabulous. Really helped to make our day special. Lots of compliments from our guests. They played songs at our wedding ceremony at leatherhead registry office and then came back to our house to entertain us and our guests in our garden! The guys were very obliging and wonderful musicians. Highly recommend - thanks Newick Folk!!!! 👍👍

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
