"We would like to thank you so very much for the tremendous set you performed for us all on Saturday night; it exceeded all of our expectations! Right from the word go, your professionalism and enthusiasm shone through, with both of you demonstrating superb musicianship combined with the excellent calling skills of Anna who got everyone up on their feet for the whole night! It gave all of us all an amazing evening to remember all our lives and greatly contributed to the success of the wedding as a whole. So thanks again and we will certainly bear you in mind if we have any other events coming up in the future!"

"The Sheriffs did a fantastic job at our wedding. They had everyone up and dancing, which was no small feat as there was a huge range of ages at our wedding. The communication before the wedding during the planning stage was great. We knew exactly what we were going to get and they couldn't have been nicer to deal with. Most importantly, they put on a great show! I would whole heartedly recommend them!"

"Review received on 8/7/2025 Best of the best! We can’t say enough great things about Blue Jersey Band! Our residents absolutely loved them—their energy, enthusiasm, and friendly nature truly made the event special. This dynamic duo went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time, engaging with residents and working hard behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their dedication and positive attitude didn’t go unnoticed, and we’ve already received so many compliments thanks to their efforts. We would welcome them back in a heartbeat!

"We just wanted to say a massive thank you for getting the party started. We had so many people say how much they enjoyed the ceilidh, lots who have never done it or even heard of it before and have now started to look for them closer to home! It made the wedding the most amount of fun and I felt like I actually saw all our guests even if it was for 30 seconds as they swung me round. My favourite memory was the cheer when everyone swapped partners and greeted someone new....it made me cry happy tears. Thank you a thousand times for making it the best day of our lives! "

"Thank you and your group very much indeed for giving us a super night on Saturday, there was much fun and laughter all round and excellent dancing too! We really enjoyed the music and your lady caller was amazing with her help in so many ways and so subtle which was wonderful please do thank her. We have had many compliments about your band and so many, dancers or not, who really enjoyed the atmosphere. (Dain, Mansfield) "

"Blag played a Ceilidh for my 50th Birthday party on Saturday. We had a fantastic time and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The calling was very clear and the music brilliantly played. I specifically wanted an event where young and old, keen and not so keen dancers would all participate and that was achieved to the enjoyment of everyone. Thank you so much. The communication before the event was clear and helpful - David answering all sorts of detailed questions that I had. I can thoroughly recommend Blag to ensure a great event."

"Blag were fantastic at our Burns night celebration last night, they were very flexible with our timings and played two brilliant sets. The communication beforehand was great which really put me at ease before they arrived. Both sets were so great that they managed to get almost everyone on the dance floor all night! I would have no hestitation in recommending Blag and look forward to booking them for our next event"

"I must be honest I had never been involved in finding and/or booking a band for an event, so this was a first for me - and it was my dad's 60th so I really wanted something special. Joubert and his wife (who seemed to be in charge of the Sound Engineering side of things) were very accommodating and there were little-no issues. The sound quality was great - his voice is great - and no request seemed too much to ask (they did everything with a smile on their faces). We tried to give as many song requests to them at least a week before the time as possible - and they seemed very appreciative of that. They did go the extra mile in the sense that the party actually only seemed to kick off when they were supposed to wind things up - but they volunteered to stay for longer just before my dad asked me if they could, and so they did. The event turned out to be a big success and I wanted to thank Joubert and Juanita for the vibe they injected into a special day for us as a family. Dankie julle"

"Bellows, Scratchitt & Pluckitt came and played for our wedding reception in October and did an absolutely fantastic job. They read the room extremely well, making sure that the dances were appropriate to the ability of the group, and did their best to include everyone from 3 year olds to 83 year olds. We had so much fun and would highly recommend them!"

"The band certainly made my friend's 60th a highlight of the winter. Great fun dancing and beautiful music. Joyce, you made the dancing easy with your laid back but guiding hand! (Gill, Newark)"

"A fantastic Sunday afternoon spent in the garden listening to Acoustic Roulette. A great set list with some unexpected but very sing-alongy covers. Looking forward to the NYE gig."

"I’d just like to say a massive thank you to Dave, Mike and Gerry who form The Berking Mad Band. This is the third event that we have booked them for and once again it was a massive success. They are always reliable and turn up on time. They set up the equipment with no fuss and are very adaptable to any type of event whether it be a Burns Night, a Ceilidh, a Wedding or a Birthday Party. Dave is incredibly patient at giving instructions to those who are novice dancers and even goes out onto the dance floor to help people with the dance steps. They cater for all abilities, young and old! Dave encourages people to get up to dance without being too intrusive and has a good sense of humour which makes people laugh and enjoy the night. Everyone who has been to our events where The Berking Mad Band have played have thoroughly enjoyed themselves and have always been very positive about this band. I would certainly recommend The Berking Mad Band for any occasion and will be booking them again in the future. Kerry Elliott The Friends of Jenifer Grove Area Community Group "
