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

this is a very diverse platform. you can find all sorts of services, artists, performers, etc, which is super useful. However I would advice that you chose people many months in advance, so that if they don't confirm, you can cancel with no fees. Not every professional will respond, be aware. We managed to find people, but it was a hit and miss.

Booked for Corporate Function

Black Velvet were excellent and really added to our Irish themed evening. Lots of very traditional music. The guys were very flexible and last minute added in a Ceili set without prior knowledge which was appreciated by all and added to the fun of the evening. Very highly recommended.

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.

Behan's Footsteps Duo are two brothers based in West Yorkshire who play exhilarating and soulful Irish folk music, with the occasional Scottish ceilidh tune added in. We have played Irish music since we were old enough to hold our instruments! Behan's Footsteps have been playing Celtic music for as long as they could walk. We know how to make people dance, and we know how to make them cry.

About supplier

We are able to provide differing atmospheres for different occasions. We enjoy playing raucous, high-energy shows but are equally happy playing a beautiful ballad as a bride strolls down the aisle. Our sets are always catered to the event that we're playing.
