We'd definitely recommend the Blag band, our friends and family really enjoyed themselves. Many times over I was asked how I discovered them, and repeatedly told how great they were. Everything was 5*, good communication, prompt, professional, fun and so great at what they do. Our one regret is that the hours flew by and we could have happily indulged in another set.

We loved your playing outdoors at our wedding reception, it got people dancing immediately after the ceremony which was just so lovely. We so appreciated you learning a new piece especially for our arrival! Everything was straightforward, your communication was great in the run up to our wedding and after as well! Thanks so much, Tempe & Deniz

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.

Honestly - look no further, these are they guys you are looking for. I booked Blag to play in the local village hall for my birthday party. They were excellent musicians and lovely guys - polite, friendly and very professional. Their repertoire included many genres of music and they were able to adapt the music on the night to suit the room. The first set was an eclectic mix of music - all brilliantly played. The ceilidh in the second set was really fun, with Michael (very patiently) teaching us the moves. Everyone has been commenting on how fantastic they were ever since the party. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you for a really wonderful and memorable evening.

Thank you so much for making our wedding the party of the year - everyone loved the music!
Black Velvet Band played at our wedding reception and they were brilliant. I had worried whether people would want to dance to Irish music but I shouldn't have. Everyone loved the music! We had a real proper Irish Hooley, with lots of dancing, singing-along and some humour in-between. As this was a marriage of cultures (English, Irish and Dutch) we were also touched that the band played a couple of traditional Dutch songs, allowing the Dutch to have a good sing-along as well. And when my dad asked if they could accompany him for a song to sing after his speech, it was no problem. The guys in the band are proper musicians who can play what the crowd needs to keep the party fuelled. The only complaint I have had is from my knees - which are still complaining, even after 4 days rest! Next time, I will wear trainers.

Shenanigans were great! They did two 40 minute sets and had music playing in between so there wasn’t any hiccup in the evening. Everyone enjoyed the upbeat tone and we even had some lanky teens attempted Irish dancing. Fabulous addition to the evening.
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.
