"What can I say? If you are a fan of Irish music, instrumental or with vocals then Dermot and the rest of the amazing musicians are who you need to hire! They were an absolute joy and a pleasure to have play at my beloved father's wake. They are such lovely and friendly people as well as fantastic musicians with a vast array of instrumentation between them. They graciously accepted requests prior to the event and also from some of the guests. My dad would have absolutely loved it and it made a very sad day very joyful and comforting for everyone. Our guests commented on how wonderful they were and the pub staff as well. I highly recommend hiring Dermot and the gang for any event, not just a wake. Communication was excellent before hand and hiring Dermot and the band were the easiest part of the many arrangements that we had to make when organising our dad's funeral and a wake. We sincerely thank you and highly recommend you, The O'Brien family."

"Whisky & Ginger were absolutely fantastic. From the very first email they were professional, helpful, flexible and enthusiastic. They were presented beautifully and the music was just amazing! So so so worth the money. Anyone contemplating booking should DO IT DO IT DO IT!"

"I knew what I wanted for entertainment at my 50th birthday party but had no idea what to expect when I booked the Rib Ticklers. I'm pleased to say the boys didn't disappoint! They pitched the selection of songs just right and had the dancing in full swing within minutes of starting to play. I had a great night and friends loved the great mix of music all evening. I'm now trying to find an excuse to have them back! Galway girl living in Hertfordshire"

"Willow Tree Barn Dance Band provided the music for my husband’s 70th birthday party. We found them to be most professional and organised, arrived in good time and nothing was too much trouble. The music and tuition were top notch. A fantastic evening of jollity and mayhem, with all of our guests young and old saying they had a most enjoyable evening. "

"Hi Fiddlestix, Apologies for the belated reply. Firstly - huge thank you to the whole band for the performance the weekend before last. It was an absolute pleasure to have such a talented band playing and a joy to see all the families up and dancing. Well done for enduring the cold and we'll definitely look at getting a bigger tent next year! Please pass on our thanks to all the players. Thank you once again. Best wishes, Stuart"

"We were really pleased that we had booked the Black Velvet band for a ceilidh at our daughter’s wedding at Old Down Manor. Before the event they spoke to our daughter and planned with her exactly what she would like from them, the type of music and how they would organise the evening so that she and her new husband could be ‘danced out’ at the end. On the day the band arrived in good time with all the appropriate equipment for the location. The performance was very professional, the music great and they got all the guests dancing along. The caller’s instructions were clear. So overall we were very happy and would definitely recommend them."
