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 Anniversary

The admin was easy. The process of contacting the band was smooth. The cost was made clear. The band was great and they tailored the music to suit our group and encouraged people to join in. Lovely manner and professional. Very experienced caller and musicians. Alan was the caller, Norman was playing the accordion and Mike was on the fiddle 😜 Enthusiastic comments and praise from all our guests. Several potential enquiries regarding bookings will hopefully follow. We couldn't have wished for a better way to celebrate our special anniversary. Every thanks to the Black Velvet Ceilidh Band, Christian and Helen (Cheltenham) 😄

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.

Booked for Celebration

The band was absolutely amazing! We had a brilliant time dancing the evening away! All our guests absolutely loved it, and David got everybody up and dancing. Great for all ages - from grandparents to small children, everybody had a fantastic time. David's calling was fantastic and the band was wonderful. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. From the very first, with friendly and quick email exchanges, to the evening itself, the whole thing was marvellous. Toe-tapping, side-splitting laughter, much joy and going the extra mile to make the day special for us - even bringing out the bagpipes to call us all into the barn for the ceilidh. Out of ten, it's a twelve from us!
