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.

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.

Shenanigans wasn't our first choice for the surprise party but we're very glad we managed to secure them. Alan and Steve provided just the sort of music and feel good factor we were looking for. Lots and lots of our guests complimented us on their musicianship and sound. They say that good things come in small packages and Shenanigans certainly does. They were excellent value for money and if we do another surprise party this time they would be first-choice.

Absolutely fantastic band . We had these booked for our wedding in Newcastle on 30th July 2022.
Music was rocking all night and they had EVERYONE up dancing .
The music was upbeat the band members (4 piece ) were very friendly and chatty.
Can't recommend these guys enough, book them you won't be disappointed . Every single member of our wedding party loved them.

The duo were very easy to deal with answering emails very promptly. At the event they were great playing all the Irish traditional songs along with some more recent ones. They played any requests we asked for on the night and were very easy going and amenable.Ths event was my father's memorial in a small intimate venue and they were the perfect choice as they played while people were talking yet added a warm ambience to the proceedings People gave me feedback that they were a great find.
Thanks to them both for adding something special to our evening.

Created a great atmosphere in the market with our customers tapping their feet along with the band. Thank you for bearing with the weather and for putting on a fabulous show.
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.
