• Jan. 31, 2017Thank you for making our day special. We had Kilcannon for our wedding day in September 2017. Excellent communication and so friendly! I love Irish music so this really made the wedding day feel more special for me. They really created a great atmosphere inside the wedding marquee, I only wish I'd have hired them for a longer set! Thankyou Richard and everyone in the band for the great music and being so well organised. Highly recommend for events and weddings. Pleasure to work with, Thank you.
