"A FANTASTIC afternoon/evening at The Golden Eagle with Father Jack. The Guiness flowed along with the songs, tunes & dancing which made for a brilliant St. Patrick's Party."

"Our experience through booking with Encore has been so smooth and easy. However Abigail made this booking even more perfect and made the process before the wedding stress free and easy. Abigail communicated with us superbly and granted every wish we had for our wedding ceremony. No song was too much and never made us feel like we were asking for too much. Would not think twice about booking Abigail as she was professional, kind and above all else a great violinist. Thank you again Abigail!"

"We just wanted to say a big thank you for making our event so successful last Thursday. You were superb and we have had a number of emails from clients and friends complimenting you on how good you are. A few had very croaky voices the next day after singing along with you!! "

"Hi Kev, It's Angie and Niall, Louis Phaethon, 11th June. How you doing? Sorry we never got a chance to meet up again after the wedding as we were only there to the Sunday and most of the guests left on Saturday so it was all a bit hectic. We just wanted to tell you how much we loved you playing the pipes at our wedding. You really did make the day extra special and even though we were in Cyprus it felt like a true Scottish/Irish wedding. Everyone thought you were great and a big thank you from all of us for playing not only my favourite Scottish tunes but also some great Irish ones as well. Tried finding your Facebook page but no luck. Hope you having a great summer in sunny Cyprus and hopefully see you again one day. Angie and Niall Sent from my iPad"

"We had them come and do an evening for us. They were incredible! They kept everyone engaged and I don't think anyone sat down they all were joining in and enjoying the ceilidh. They were also incredibly professional with communication. They were fast and efficient when I had questions they were fast to reply and they are really worth every penny! Could not recommend them more!!! Will definitely be booking them for future events."

"Madeleine! Thank you thank you thank you so much for your absolutely beautiful part in our wedding day! I’ve watched the videos people have sent me of the hour before we arrived and honestly my biggest regret of the night was not being able to listen to you play more haha! So so perfect you helped make it such a romantic evening for us and we couldn’t be more grateful for your amazing skills and beautiful performance."

"Brian was so responsive, flexible, thorough, and detail oriented during planning our wedding. He is a professional and went above and beyond by visiting our event site, offering to MC, sending over lengthy song lists to choose from, offering his experienced advice, and setting up our Zoom for guests who could not attend. The music was INCREDIBLE, our whole party was on their feet dancing the entire time. Brian really has a way of feeling the crowd and knowing what to play next and MC'ing in a way that didn't take over. I can't recommend them enough, and can't wait to hire them again when we have an occasion! "

"Thank you so much for the fabulous ceilidh on Saturday night, we had a truly memorable celebration. All our guests commented on what a fun night it was with everyone up dancing by the end! Barry was brilliant and pitched his instructions at the right level for us amateurs - the perfect mix of assertive and entertaining! The music provided by Roisin Ban was superb - you are a very talented bunch and I won’t hesitate in recommending your services. It should also be noted that Chris was excellent from our first contact. He alleviated my worries, tried hard to accommodate my late requests and quickly replied to all my messages! If you want a ceilidh band, look no further!"

"I wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much we appreciated your playing at the wedding, it certainly went well with so many folk up dancing… Thank you also for accommodating a last minute change to the first dance… Thank you again, we would have no hesitation in recommending you to others."

"Well last night we was at The Crofton Pub, great venue for some live music loads of space to set up your gear etc and lots of fine ales to sample and boy where they good. Anyway were not here to talk about ales but music! The band playing was called Father Jack, I believe to be in relation with Father Ted the program. The music was fantastic, it was Celtic and very lively, they had, guitar, drums and violin/Banjo/12 string ukelele. As we said the music was lively and very entertaining, in between them singing they would play some instrumental numbers. The instrumental numbers where great as they would get faster and faster and get the crowd going. The crowd where thoroughly enjoying themselves. When we got to our table one of the guys was handing out I guess karaoke handouts, these had the chorus to the some of the songs they where singing, I’ve never seen this before but it has to be a brilliant idea, as the evening went on and the beer was flowing, more and more people joined in with singing in the chorus of the songs. It would seem everyone had a great evening with Father Jack, I would definitely recommend them and if you see them advertised go a long and have a sing-a-long with them, you wont regret it!"

"As a long-time Folkpunk, Celtic Punk, Irish Folk Punk fan, I found the line up perfect. It started with the Gavin Carpenter Duo, two men, alone on the big stage. Vocals, guitar and a cajon, that was all to give the audience a taste for the rest of the evening. Personally, I really enjoyed this hour of folk music and I was certainly not alone. The people sang along and clapped along, Gavin Carpenter took the audience to the Emerald Isle musically with his discreet, not at all obtrusive manner and looked very good in his fine suit."

"I would totally recommend Wraggle Taggle Wraggle Taggle were professional, very accommodating, and went down a treat (9th February 2019 Saturday The King's Royal Hussars Officers' Mess, Tidworth Garrison, Wiltshire, SP9 7BB). They offered both amplified and non-amplified music and using their amplifiers were able to hold a full room of 90 loud and merry party goers. I would totally recommend Wraggle Taggle for any party or event and if the theme lent itself, I would, without doubt, use them again Best wishes Seb Teuber, The King's Royal Hussars 22nd February 2019"
