Claire Adams3 Jun 2022

Booked for Wedding

Dan was so accommodating right from the start of the booking, answering any questions and confirming details. He arrived in plenty of time and was keen to meet our needs, checking in with us regularly. Even though we hadn't discussed a first dance for our wedding he was great helping us to choose something on the evening and sang and played it beautifully (thankfully encouraging everyone else to join in after the first verse). Dan had great banter with the guests and everyone commented how great his voice was. I would highly recommend Dan to sing at any event. He was fab!

MICHAEL McCROSTIE7 Oct 2021

Booked for Birthday party

They played two 45 mins sets of light classical and easy listening which is what we requested. Everything was as we would have wished. A very good experience and have no hesitation in strongly recommending them.

Diane Crook22 Sep 2019

Booked for Corporate Function

Fareed, Michael & Charlotte gave our community a totally tropical evening of live music. They were prompt, positively cheerful, talented and attentive to the audience's enjoyment. Unreservedly, recommended - thank you for a Caribbean night to remember!

Booked for Birthday party

I booked John as a jazz duo for my mums surprise 80th birthday party, I was looking for just some gentle background music for friends & family to listen to as they enjoyed their high tea & that is exactly what I got, it added to a great atmosphere and made the party. Very professional, sounded excellent, with lots of great feedback from the guests. Highly recommend, would not hesitate to hire these guys again. Thank you, you made the afternoon perfect.

Kate Williams / Jill Barker24 May 2019

Booked for Birthday party

Warm, friendly band. Very good musicians with a great selection of numbers. I'd ask them back in a heartbeat! Only sorry that my dancing energy gave out towards the end.

Ros Brown24 Feb 2018

Booked for Birthday party

It was my son's 30th birthday party and the band were excellent. They arrived on time and set up very quickly. They pitched their dances to the ability of our dancers and the caller was really patient and godd humoured. I would recommend Berking Mad Ceilidh Band very highly. They even coped really well with the freezing cold hall (the heating wasn't working properly).

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.
