"Ricardo and his colleague were top notch! The music was beautiful and both musicians not only shared their extraordinary talent, but also answers our questions about the Portuguese guitar. Very professional and highly recommended!"

"I had the pleasure of the Brogues two piece ceilidh band of Alan and Grace to host my 21st birthday. The whole experience from booking, organising and the party itself was perfect. Grace and Alan were professional, friendly and ensured the best experience possible for both me and my guests. They ensured a personalised experience and everyone commented on how amazing the music and atmosphere was and I cannot thank them enough for making my 21st the special night it was."

"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. "

"We have enjoyed having Synthesi come up to Alaska to play at our Greek Festivals, the major fundraising events for our church, Holy Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church, over the years. Synthesi plays a good mix of traditional Greek Dance music along with more modern Greek music. They do a great job of making the Festivals a fun experience for everyone who attend including the large number of non Greek people. Highly recommended for any events!"

"Kevin & the Kitchen Sink was a pleasure to work with from the moment we contacted them. They created a perfect playlist, including a specially requested song (my parent’s first dance song from 40 years ago!) and the band was incredible! The crowd was on the dance floor the whole night. We couldn’t have been happier with this band and would highly recommend them. Thank you Kevin & the Kitchen Sink for such a great party! "

"Having you play at my daughter’s wedding made her day more special. It took this wedding to the next level. Plus you played wonderfully I couldn’t believe mariachis were possible in Italy. Thank you for making this day more special ??"

"14th Feb 2020. Vijverpark Festival. Always good fun to see Bob Ferguson on stage. A good singer and the audience is always engaged and involved. If you're in for some good music and fun, Bob's your uncle! A good variety of songs also."

"A big thank you for your part in Saturday's party. You did a great job and it was a real pleasure to have you playing. The music was super and it was a relief to me that you just got on with the job so efficiently and unobtrusively, so I didn't need to think about that side of things at all. Thanks to so many people giving a helping hand I was delighted to be able to join in plenty of the dances myself which was great fun. Thanks again for giving us a memorable evening, and very best wishes for the Brogues."

"Many , many thanks Oak & Brass, for entertaining us all with your brilliant performances during our Christmas wedding. There were songs for everyone, and the playing of some of my favourites was a particularly lovely surprise and quite emotional to be honest!! I would wholeheartedly recommend them for any type of event, Thanks again Paul, and for being so easy to deal with."
