"We had Trio come perform at our wedding Day 2 in Cavan, and it was truly one of the best decisions of our wedding planning. They had all of our guests signing along and dancing to their music in the pub. The set list was absolutely incredible and they even performed an encore because our guests weren’t ready for them to leave! The lads were also absolute gentleman to work with when booking them, super responsive and flexible with our venue changing during the process. We would hire the Trio again in a heartbeat, and cannot recommend them enough. Thanks!"

"We had an incredible performance by George Zebra for our wedding! Their ability to cover multiple genres and still keep the energy high was brilliant. The fact that they learned and played our first dance song made the moment truly special. The DJ service was the perfect finale to an amazing night. Absolutely fantastic and highly recommended!"

"We recently hired Barbara e Champagne to perform at my parents' 45th wedding anniversary celebration, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The event took place at a rented villa in Terracciola Toscana, and from the very start, the team showed a high level of professionalism and dedication. We had a small group of 12. They arrived an hour before the performance to set up and to ensure everything was perfectly aligned with our expectations. This attention to detail and their willingness to connect with us beforehand truly set the tone for a memorable evening. The music was simply beautiful. Carla's voice is stunningly natural and powerful, making the night truly unforgettable. Her performance, along with the talented musicians, brought a magical atmosphere to our celebration. It was evident that they love what they do, as their passion and enthusiasm shone through every note. Not only were they exceptional musicians, but they were also incredibly kind and friendly. Their warm and approachable demeanor added to the joy of the evening, making everyone feel welcomed and engaged. In summary, Barbara e Champagne exceeded all our expectations, creating a night filled with beautiful music and cherished memories. We highly recommend them for any special occasion."

"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!"

"Massive thanks to Trad Union for turning my 40th into the ultimate garden shindig! From soul-stirring ballads to full-blown céilí vibes, these two legends had everyone dancing like nobody’s knees would regret it the next day. Their music brought the magic, their banter brought the laughs, and their charm made the whole evening feel effortlessly special. Honestly, if you're planning a party and want things to escalate from “quiet drinks” to “Riverdance tryouts,” Trad Union are your lads. 🎻💚🕺"

"We loved the show! We also loved the living table girls in their disco costuming, the themed stickers and necklaces for guests, and dancers on stage dancing away before the show started to set the mood. The band was great and the lead singers were amazing! Costumes were right on, and portrayal of the duos were spot on! What a talented group!"

"On our first opening week we booked Sandra & Paul with Lucy Layton to play and they did a hell of a show. They turned the empty pub into a lively party and people had a lot of fun. Not bad for a start! "

"So talented! So fun! Great addition to our party! Number 9 Coal played for 3 hours at my brother's rehearsal dinner and welcome party in November '21. They were fantastic! They were on time, communicated great, were professional and the music was excellent. They even took the time to learn a new song to surprise my brother and his fiance. They really were the perfect touch on an excellent night! Thanks so much guys! I look forward to hearing (and hiring) you again!

"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."
