Booked for Corporate Function

The O’Marleys Irish Band delivered an absolutely outstanding performance for our St Patrick’s Day celebration! From the moment they struck the first chord, the atmosphere transformed — lively, authentic, and full of that unmistakable Irish charm. Their musicianship was exceptional, blending traditional Irish folk tunes with high‑energy crowd‑pleasers that had everyone tapping their feet (and many up dancing!). Each member of the band brought incredible talent and personality to the stage, creating a warm, engaging presence that made the entire event feel special. What truly set The O’Marleys apart was their professionalism and passion. They were easy to work with, perfectly prepared, and completely dedicated to giving us a memorable experience. Their ability to read the room and adjust the energy kept the celebration flowing perfectly from start to finish. Whether you’re planning a military function, a community event, or a private celebration, I couldn’t recommend The O’Marleys more highly. They turned our St Patrick’s Day into a genuinely unforgettable occasion, and we’ll absolutely be looking to bring them back again.

Booked for Wedding

Karl and the rest of the band absolutely made our night! They managed to wrangle a 100+ crowd and get them on their feet for a ceilidh. Karl was an excellent caller and adapted instructions and routines as he went, ensuring everyone felt welcome and included. The music was full of energy and exactly what we were after; as a family of Murphys, we were very happy with the song/dance choices and loved every second. Karl was communicative throughout the booking and planning process, ensuring everything was prepped well in advance of our wedding day. We honestly could not be happier, and neither could our guests: it was the highlight of the night for many, and we couldn't have picked a better band. A massive diolch yn fawr from Mr and Mrs Murphy!

Booked for Other Event

We had a great barn dance with thanks to Newick Folk who provided brilliant music for the evening. They really fit the theme and Jenny the caller was brilliant with her instructions, and they managed to get old and young up and dancing right from the start. We would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting a barn dance or folk event. Also great communication leading up to the event which helped.

Booked for Celebration

What can I say? Phil and his band were absolutely superb would be an understatement. Our wedding party was enhanced beyond measure by their professionalism and talent. As a caller Phil is witty, persuasive and a consumate entertainer going above and beyond to deliver fun and enjoyment. From the moment they started till the moment they finished they had us all dancing our socks off, in one case quite literally. Going above and beyond our caller even made up the numbers for our last dance. I would have no hesitation in booking Phil for future family events.
