Booked for Wedding

This was my husbands best man and his wife with Gary, he was so smart and as half my wedding was Irish they loved the piper being there. It made our day that little bit more special and i would highly recommend Gary to family and friends if they needed a piper.

Booked for Birthday party

Looking for an awesome band for your party? Look no further. Giulia and The Lizards were such a great find for my birthday bash. They have a great sound - Giulia has a fantastic voice - play great tunes and the right stage presence to encourage your guests to get up and dance - which they did all evening. On top of that, they were so accommodating and just lovely people to work with! Even weeks later, people keep telling me how awesome the band was and where did I find them?! I wholeheartedly recommend them.
