The Shenanigans were excellent! They were so helpful and friendly when I was booking and their set was fantastic. They asked for requests and played all our Irish favourites. They were extremely professional and I would highly recommend booking them for your occasion.

We can’t thank Harbottle and Jonas enough for accommodating the changes to our wedding and travelling the extra distance to perform. The live music was superb and we couldn’t have asked for more on our wedding day. Such a wonderful duo, thoughtful, accommodating and beautiful music. If you are looking to book exceptional live music from wonderful people then look no further.
