Had a corporate function and wanted and Irish theme the band were excellent and everyone enjoyed their music, although no one danced it was not an issue as the band played music that was appropriate for the event and thoroughly entertained us. Thank you and we will book you again Jane

We hired Aderyn String Quartet for our wedding in June 2019. I can highly recommend them. They were communicative in advance, and gave us a comprehensive playlist of potential songs from which to choose. On the day they were all we could have hoped for. Highly recommend.

A great bunch of lads who made our wedding reception swing. Their set was exactly what we wanted and set exactly the right atmosphere. They even let me take the mic for 2 songs. Which they probably regretted within seconds! A great choice for any kind of party.

"Great job, thanks! Good selection of traditional songs (which was probably somewhat wasted on the audience). Loved the lights which were unexpected and very much appreciated the music at the end and letting us jump on the mic for a bit of dancing. Would definitely recommend! Thanks Katie."

"We were delighted with Amycrofters, whom we had booked to play music (inluding Scottish country Dance tunes) at the wedding of Michael Paice and Vicky Newton. (Michael is Margaret's son.) There was to be no dancing - the music was to entertain guests during the period after the marriage ceremony while photographs were be taken and guests were able to mingle and talk to friends. There was, however, a good deal of foot-tapping! Andrew and June arrived well in advance and set up very efficiently and the music was most enjoyable and as requested. It was a fine sunny and warm day and they played in the grounds of the hotel under a gazebo which had been put up for the purpose. We were totally satisfied with their services and much appreciated that they had traveled from Devon to add to the enjoyment of our day. Chris and Margaret Gillies"

"We booked the spring heeled jacks for our fundraiser. We wanted a ceilidh band with a great caller and we couldn’t have chosen a better one. They got everybody on the dance (even the most reluctant) Our night was a great success and it was all down to a fabulous band with fantastic music and entertainment skills Would absolutely recommend them."

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

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