"Johnny was amazing at my FIL services. He helped my MIL with the hardest choices in her life trying to pick music and helping with an Irish funeral and burial. He was professional and empathetic to the situation, and he was very well priced. If you need a bagpiper for one of your events, please consider Johnny. He is exceptional, and loves being able to play for people!"

"I honestly can’t recommend Shindig wedding band highly enough! We first saw Gav & Sparky playing live in Dublin and knew instantly that we wanted them at our wedding—they’re ridiculously talented, and watching them perform was just incredible. The vibes were 10/10! The guys arrived early, hung out with us for a bit, and set such a relaxed, fun tone right from the start. So many of our guests have commented on how amazing the music was! Their communication was spot-on too—really professional from beginning to end. If you’re thinking about booking them, do it! You won’t be disappointed."

"We hired John as a part of an evening event we put on for a high-profile client in Park City. He did exactly as we asked of him, and the guests enjoyed the music! I would recommend hiring John for any bagpiper needs."

"First time to Ireland, Everything was better than expected until I went to Polly Hops and you guys were playing. This took my trip to Ireland over the top. Fantastic music, songs, and entertainment! After being in what I'll call commercial pubs, I was beginning to be disappointed in hearing any traditional Irish music and what my expectations were of being is an Irish pub. That is until I was directed to Polly Hops because you guys were playing. The experience, music and entertainment you provided were the highlight of my visit to Ireland. Can't wait to come back, hear and see you again and hopefully run across you in the states. Ever in Texas, please let me know. Thanks for a wonderful time. Ken Pendergraft"

"Yiddishkeit Klezmer Ensemble was everything we had hoped for. Communication before the party was always prompt and easy. They offered a variety choices for the size of band to work with our budget. There was a great variety of music to choose from, too. During the party the band really read the crowd, and communicated with us throughout the evening. They shifted with the mood of the party- roving around beforehand as guests were arriving, then playing jazz for the background during dinner, and then after dinner they got our guests up and dancing, teaching them how to do the steps! They are talented, professional, and really fun to work with! Plus they traveled quite far to play for us, with only a nominal travel charge. Highly, highly recommend! "

"Over the top entertainment was provided by Mr. Murphy, aka Billy Gumbo. He started with traditional Oktoberfest music, mixed in Cajun songs, some Tex Mex and even some Rocktoberfest music! He is very personable and entertaining, getting the crowd involved and even winding them up into a screaming frenzy! He met the odd requests of Italian songs and Irish punk polkas. It was a 4 hour event and he squeezed every ounce he had into the show. Highly recommend. "

"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!"

"Johnny was booked at short notice , arrived an hour early . I had forgotten that there was an important rugby match on in the bar so he couldn’t set on at the time agreed and this did not bother him in the slightest. Once he started everyone loved it and joined in . He can sing anything, absolutely brilliant. I can’t recommend him enough "

"Really appreciated Brian's thoughtful presence! If you are looking to avoid an obnoxious DJ at your wedding, Brian is your person! Brian was open to the list of music that we compiled. He added when necessary to keep people dancing and he allowed us to make requests! Brian arrived the day of our wedding knowing just what to do for setup and was calm and confident. He was very adaptable to our needs and wishes, he was not just a DJ he set the tone for our wedding!!!"

"Made our father's memorial perfect. Brock and Toni played beautifully. During the memorial, Brock made sure each guest felt personalized as he would play a piece after speaking to them. Toni gave us ideas of what we possibly might want to do for the services. Together their playing Amazing Grace was incredible moving! Every one felt the tribute plus Toni had ideas that were used and greatly appreciated. We wouldn't have had such perfection without her advice. If you're looking for Pipers with care and kindness, they are definitely the choice."

"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!
