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.
