"“On my own radio program, “Shay’s Ballad Session”, The Beermats are one of the most requested Dublin groups and I regularly play their recordings and have had the pleasure to interview them live on air. They are a great bunch of lads, with all the wit and character of true Dubliners! “SHAY EUSTAGE” "

"Claire & Craig McDonald wrote on FB on their wedding 9/9/24 Piper - Kevin Monahan (thecypruspiper) - Kevin was phenomenal. We wanted to add a little bit of "home" to our destination wedding with a piper. As soon as he arrived and began playing, everyone including hotel guests stood up and watched and listened. We spoke to Kevin several times in the lead up to the wedding to discuss tunes we wanted - Kevin offered advice and alternatives when needed, as well as providing suggestions based on where each of us were from. Kevin mingled with guests and was friendly and funny throughout. We really appreciated the effort Kevin put in to contribute to our special day, thank you"

"We had a fabulous time listening & dancing to Victors tunes. He was so accommodating that he looked up some songs that are near and dear to my family‘s hearts and he played them just as he said he would. He was on time and very professional. I would definitely recommend Hampton Pipes & Drums."

"If you are looking for a unique, diverse musical sound for an occasion, then book The Achill Lads. They are exceptionally talented musicians with style/genres ranging from traditional Irish/occasion/church music, piping, folk and singing. The variety of instruments they can play is astonishing! Their professionalism is second to none and I have been lucky to perform with them throughout the years. We were very honoured to have them perform at our Wedding last year and they were amazing! A huge thank you again to Cian and Michael! Acaill abú!"

"We had the absolute pleasure of having The Beer Mats play for my brothers wedding in Tipperary! We did a flyby trip to see them perform in Howth (from the UK) beforehand and knew they would be spot on for the wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better performance on the big day, from the moment they starting playing, they had everyone up on their feet - young, old, Irish and not so Irish! They played traditional and classic sing/dance along songs and even covered a few country songs as requested for the first dance and more! All the guys are down to earth and easy to work with, they kept the craic going all night and I'm not sure the guests feet will ever recover! If your looking to hire an Irish band, I cannot recommend these guys enough! Thank s so much guys, The Rawlings family"

"We cannot recommend 'Rock Hunters' enough – they were absolutely fantastic at our wedding! From start to finish, they truly brought our celebration to life. Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they also know how to read the room and get everyone up and dancing. The energy they brought was infectious, and they had guests of all ages on their feet all throughout their set. One of the highlights was their personal touch. They took the time to learn our first dance song, and their performance of it was beyond perfect. It made that special moment even more memorable for us. Their interaction with our guests was also amazing – they were so friendly and engaging, making everyone feel part of the fun. If you're looking for a band that will not only provide incredible music but also elevate the entire atmosphere of your event, 'Los Rock Hunters' is the one. They were professional, accommodating, and just all-around amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to make our wedding day unforgettable!"

Aw Kay! You guys were amazing!! We had such a blast with you and are ecstatic you enjoyed our performance. Your hospitality was wonderful and made for such a fun playing experience. And it was our pleasure to learn and play your wedding song! It was a beautiful moment that we are so happy to have been apart of. We wish you and Michael all the best and will see you around Mallorca very soon I am sure!

"I first witnessed The DooLallys years ago at a kind of impromptu kitchen session. I think deeply soulful is the best way to describe their mix of pipes, strings, and song - seamless switches between O'Carolanesque 18th Century rave style to sweet balladeering, along with true and loving versions of traditional Irish music tunes, all layered with a knowing hedge school poetic sensibility. "

"A huge thank you to Jason. I was on holiday staying on the shores of Little Loch Broom with some friends. I've always loved the Highlands and wanted my friends to experience listening to the pipes in this wonderful setting. Jason was lovely. He turned up in time but unfortunately the midgies were horrendous that evening. So, after I suggested we move up the hill to the viewpoint with spectacular panoramic views Jason was more than happy to accommodate. As it happens the event was absolutely perfect. The music, the piper himself and the scenery was spectacular. Thank you Jason. You were amazing "

"I couldn't recommend the Brogues enough if you are looking for a band for your event, they were absolutely fantastic. They played at our wedding and were the highlight of the day. I had been worried that we didn't have enough guests to make a Ceilidh 'work' (we only had 27 people), but from the moment I first got in touch with Grace she was really flexible and was able to work out exactly how to get all the guests involved and make the evening really special <3 I can't thank you all enough !"
