"Wonderful entertainer, a real crowd pleaser December, 3rd, 2023 Bob sang for my mum’s 90th birthday celebration and was a hit with young(er) and old alike. He has a great voice and is also an entertaining story teller. His performance was the highlight of the night for my mum. Highly recommended. "

"The North London-based artist Lee Michael Stevens steps away from The Swagger to take audiences on a personal journey. His first solo single “I Miss U Now”, co-wrote with brother Paul Stevens, is a taste of a long-player due in 2022, and it is a tantalising prospect. Here Lee is soaking up the atmosphere under the grey London sky. Both Britpop and balladesque, there is a lot to unpack from “I Miss U Now”. It is acoustic but energetic, with a thread of humanity, love and loss pulsing throughout. Both the production by Steve ‘Smiley’ Barnard, and the string arrangements by David Tims add beauty to the otherwise streetwise themes. In some ways it is obviously reminiscent of The Swagger, though there is a lot more of the personality of Lee Michael Stevens on display, teetering between sneering confidence and hopeless heartbreak. All-in-all a cracking first step in what promises to be a worthwhile journey."

"Alberto was quick to respond to our last minute request for live music and made a 3 hour drive to our location. His own versions of classic songs were incredible, it had everyone listening in awe. He added in Italian songs which we though were probably the best and really made our day extra special. He ended up staying longer to set up inside while we had dinner. We highly recommend him for any event you're looking for music!"

"Niamh did the ceremony music at our wedding in Rathfeigh Church on 14th February 2025. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Niamh made everything so easy, she had lots of song suggestions for us and was happy to perform any song I asked. So many people commented on how beautiful the church music was on the day and afterwards! I would highly recommend her♥️ Thank you so much Niamh!"

"We hosted a pie & mash night in our restaurant & we wanted something authentic but at the same time not too loud. Harmonica lewinsky was PERFECT for what we wanted. He got everyone up & singing, provided singing sheets so everyone could join in. He looked the part, sounded the part. We couldn't of asked for anything more- So much so we have booked in another pie & mash night along with Harmonica Lewinsky again as it was one of the best evenings we have held in our pub."

"I recently had the pleasure of booking Johnny Guitar for my event, and I couldn't recommend him more highly. From the very beginning, he was incredibly easy to work with, professional, responsive, and flexible throughout the entire process. His range of music was absolutely fantastic, covering an impressive and diverse variety of styles that kept everyone entertained. He even took the time to ask if there were any specific songs that we wanted to hear, which made the experience feel really personal. The crowd absolutely loved him and danced the night away! Johnny brought great energy to the evening and created a brilliant atmosphere from start to finish. I'm more than happy to recommend him for any future function and definitely look forward to booking him again myself at some point."

"I would like to say a huge thank you to Matthew for Sunday, it was so perfect having him sing mine and my husbands song as I walked up the aisle. It was a surprise for my other half and he was blown away. Everyone said how beautiful it was and what an amazing voice Matthew has. It was perfect."

"The Annasach Ceilidh Band made the evening of our wedding in The Netherlands unforgettable, motivating Dutch and French feet alike to dance the Scottish steps. Even my 62-year-old aunt was on her feet all evening and remarked at the end that from now on, she only wants Scottish weddings. The band also dealt very professionally with some unforeseen circumstances, rebooking their own flights when their original flights were cancelled, taking a lot of stress away from us. I will happily recommend them for any wedding or party in Scotland or abroad, and look forward to visiting one of their Ceilidhs in Edinburgh when we next find ourselves there!"

"Ray and Kay were great. They arrived early and took the time and care to set up to where they weren't too loud or intrusive. I know it can be a delicate and tricky balance for the musicians to estimate whether or not they're overpowering an audience that wants to socialize yet stay present enough to not fade into the background. They clearly have the experience to understand dynamics and are really good at reading a room. It's nice to be accommodating, but also refreshing to see a musical act sense when a night is wrapping up. We event directors want to go home at some point, too! Ray and Kay were tight, professional and friendly. Worth hiring for any event. "

"Cameron is a fantastic musician, both for weddings and various other occasions. During the preparations for our wedding, working with him was always straightforward. He interpreted our unusual song selection for the ceremony very well, fitting the occasion. Furthermore, he has a great talent for captivating his audience. Even before the wedding, he transformed our bridal shower and the champagne reception after the ceremony into an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. Our guests still rave about him today. And we're not just repeat customers, but also happy to be part of his crowd whenever the opportunity arises."

"Again this year 01-07-2023 we had the pleasure of Bob Ferguson who came and played and entertained at a 60th birthday party As always, wonderful music, and the guests were taken along for the experience when Bob walks around between the tables, sings, plays and jokes. We have received lots of great feedback from our guests. Bob always gives 100% experience. We can only give him the warmest recommendations for a successful party. Susan and Svend"
