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

The Shenanigans were excellent! They were so helpful and friendly when I was booking and their set was fantastic. They asked for requests and played all our Irish favourites. They were extremely professional and I would highly recommend booking them for your occasion.
