We had the pleasure of Oscar and Barney perform at our wedding. We both have irish heritage and were really looking for an authentic 'irish bar' experience for the change around time. Oscar and Barney we're so accommodating allowing us to select a more flexible option for what we wanted in terms of timings to fit in to our day perfectly. They were very happy to make our irish bar vision come to life! So many people came up to us after about how fantastic they had been. We couldn't recommend them enough.

The lads from Behans Footsteps were great from start to finish. We wanted some traditional Irish music to play as guests arrived at our wedding and Barney was very accommodating with their choice of tunes. We would highly recommend them for their professionalism and quality of playing.

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

Behan’s Footsteps came to play at my husband’s 60th birthday party, they were absolutely fantastic and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing good music at their event. They responded very quickly to my queries and requests and were an absolute pleasure to deal with, we would hire them again if we have another ‘do’

We had a Glastonbury-like home garden festival with family and friends. We booked Shenanigans for some live entertainment in the early evening - the description of simple Irish folk music with plenty of audience participation attracted us. They were great from point of contact to their performance. Very talented, good range of Irish folk songs and great audience engagement. Made a great weekend even more enjoyable!

"Thankyou Paddicraic for coming to The Kings Arms in Shap. What a fantastic night everybody had. And you couldn't meet a nicer band. I would definitely recommend this tremendous band. They will be back!!!!"

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.
