Booked for Birthday party

First Class. I booked Phil Preen for a special birthday event. He selected the musicians according to my wishes. Natalie, Norman and Phil’s contribution added to the evening’s success by playing lovely folk music and providing easy to follow instructions. Their performance provided great entertainment and fun for all dancers and non-dancers.

Booked for Wedding

Phil and his band played at our wedding on Saturday and they were absolutely BRILLIANT. First class musicians and Phil was the best caller I’ve ever seen - clear, patient with drunken guests haha, but also so fun and brought such good vibes. Kids through to older guests were all up dancing. Would highly highly recommend. Thank you Phil!

Booked for Private party

We had so much fun! It was hilarious trying to learn the dances and the band were extremely patient with us. It was such a great way to bring all our guests together, meeting each other and speaking / dancing with people they may not of otherwise. I thoroughly recommend it.

Booked for Wedding

Absolutely incredible, the band helped us have our dream wedding, and even got the grumpiest of our guests up and dancing. Several people have said to us since that (apart from the ceremony) the ceilidh was their favourite part of the day! Thank you so much for your amazing show!

Booked for Corporate Function

Black Velvet were excellent and really added to our Irish themed evening. Lots of very traditional music. The guys were very flexible and last minute added in a Ceili set without prior knowledge which was appreciated by all and added to the fun of the evening. Very highly recommended.
