Booked for Private party

We booked Phil Preen and band for a barn dance. Having attended a few barn dances in the past I assured all the other attendees that it would be a great night and they were not disappointed. Phil is a first class caller, talking throught the steps in easy stages and the band were absolutely spot on with their musical expertise. Couldn't have wished for a better night.

Booked for Hen party

Oscar and Barney were amazing! We booked really last minute after another band cancelled and they were really flexible and managed to fit in with exactly what we were looking for. We booked them for my friends hen do and requested Irish songs and they were brilliant - even playing songs for us that weren't on their usual set list. They were super friendly and relaxed and I think everyone would have liked them to stay all night if they could! Would highly recommend.

Booked for Wedding

Genuinely the best band and the best choice for our wedding day! We had a massive Ceilidh which was super fun! The band went above and beyond, setting up at the venue before guests arrived and sorting out all of our sound needs throughout the reception. Before the day, Karl had been really helpful and clearly communicated everything to us, and on the day everything ran so smoothly. Many of our guests said how talented the band was and how it was the best Ceilidh they’d been to. I highly recommend that you book them for your event!!

Booked for Wedding

Blazing Saddles were a fantastic find for our wedding reception - they really kept the party going! Debby is a brilliant caller - her friendly manner & funny delivery got every single one of our guests joining in (even the ones who swore that nothing would get them dancing!) Debby & Tim had a very long drive to get to us, but arrived bang on time and both set up & packed away with a minimum of disruption. Our communication before the event was friendly & crystal clear - they were wonderful to work with. We would have no hesitation at all in booking them again & would highly recommend them

Booked for Wedding

Price of My Pig were fantastic. We hired them for our wedding evening, as we wanted to have a Ceilidh for the guests. The band was flexible to meet our requirements for during the buffet, and were excellent at getting all of the guests involved and on the dance floor, to make sure that there was always dancing going on! The music was fantastic, and the musicians were incredible. Thank you Ben and the band for making our wedding evening a blast!

David Rees21 Jun 2021

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.

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.
