"Paul and Lindsay were the perfect addition to my grandma’s big family reunion / birthday party. Their communication throughout the booking process was flawless and professional. The actual performance was spell-bounding . The tunes they played were so nostalgic and nobodies feet could stay still. All guests were very impressed, and The Publicans were the talk of the party. Thanks again Paul - we hope to see you again soon! (10 / 10) Sophie Banner"

"Great Review from Vinny - who joined us from Dublin for a week of music * & craic ???? *Just back from a wonderful week gigging in Ma Nolan's in Nice, in the glorious south of France. Everything that was stated in the offer , was provided without a single clinch. Top of the range pa system, lovely apartment nearby and friendly efficient staff in the pub. Thanks so much to Andrew Coates Music, and I can not wait to return, and would happily recommend working with this agency anytime. ? Vinny*"

"Given that 80% of our guests had never ceilidh’d before, the brogues did a wonderful job of leading dances where everyone could get involved and felt very much part of the celebrations. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved it and can’t wait to get ceilidhing again! Thank you!"

"Abigail was amazing, from booking stages, all the way through to bringing to life my vision on our big day. She played all of the songs requested and just made the elegant atmosphere we so desired throughout our reception and wedding breakfast. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough."

" We hired the Fine Tuners for our wedding at Lightfoot and Wolfville in October 2024. We worked with Stephen in advance to make sure the live music was tailored to our vibe for the day and was meaningful. Stephen was very responsive to our questions and worked to make sure we knew what we were getting. The choice of live songs for pre- and post-ceremony were spot on for our tastes. Countless guests have commented that the personalized live music during the ceremony made everything so much more special. We had specific songs for the processional and recessional, along with one during the wedding registry signing that were beautifully played and timed perfectly. The Fine Tuners were able to seamlessly adapt if things were faster or slower than expected and it made everything feel perfectly on track. The DJing during the evening dance was beyond our expectations. Our "do not play list" was respected, guests were able to make requests, and there were additional surprise touches like sparklers during our entrance and fun lights that really made things feel like a magical party. Both Stephen and Anthony are clearly experienced in live music and DJing for events. The live music part of things was perfect in our Nova Scotia setting and was appreciated by us and our guests. The DJing during the dance helped get people on the dance floor with no effort on our part, and Stephen really helped to make sure guests had a great time. We would absolutely recommend the Fine Tuners if you are looking for personalized and professional music services for your event!"

"My fiancé and I hired Hampton Pipes & Drums for our wedding this past weekend. Victor was incredible!!! He came and played at the church while guests entered and as everyone was leaving - it was raining a bit, but you would never know, Victor did a tremendous job! He then came to the venue with a gentlemen by the name of Tom who played the snare drum. They played for a bit during our cocktail hour and were so terrific, everyone loved them and they added the perfect touch to our day!! I would recommend Victor to friends and family and will keep him in mind for any future event!"

"I will always be grateful with Peter and Tatiana for coming last minute to my brother's wedding. I was in contact with Mr. Peter and he was so kind and helpful with the stressful situation I was in (the musicians I had hired before cancelled me very late the night before the event). They were on time, their music was beautiful and joyful, the guests were delighted with the accordions, and my brother and his bride were very happy. They were very polite and respectful with everyone, they are really nice people. They truly saved our day, and their music was perfect for the occasion, it ended up being so much better than my first option of musicians. Thank you Peter and Tatiana."

"Tony was our piper at our wedding in June & we just want to say what an amazing day it was with Tony. From start to finish he commanded the attention of all our guests & made us feel very special. He was just brilliant & was definitely a highlight of our day! He constantly kept in touch & knew exactly what we wanted. It was perfect."
