"Wow, what a wonderful evening! Last Friday night was so much fun and it was such a real pleasure to collaborate with you all at Cat's Claw. It was a magical night and it was lovely to see the two worlds of music come together so successfully. Our musicians from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales very much enjoyed working with you all and it was great to hear that you too all had a great time. I also think that from the audience's reaction that everyone who was present also very much enjoyed the evening. In particular, my Mum absolutely LOVED the evening and was blown away by hearing all of the music that she loves so much played so brilliantly! Sincere thanks for your invaluable contribution to such a special evening celebrating St David's Day. "

"Jason was the best! I can't recommend him high enough; talented, charming, friendly, on time and played the pipes beautifully! You'd do well to hire him at your event. (Thank you so much Jason!! )"

"We have used Achill piper Hire for a number of occasions over the years including Easter Commemorations and also funerals. Michael has always been so accommodating, professional and understanding. From giving his advice, to choosing the music, Michael was brilliant. Rain or shine, he has always came to our assistance. We absolutely fully recommend Achill Piper Hire and give it a 100% approval rating🎼with 5 stars"

"Hi all, We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for last week. You were so fantastic, and we've had so many people say to us how much they loved the ceilidh. Those from Kent loved getting involved for the first time, and those from Edinburgh and Inverness have said it was the first time in ages they've wanted to join in with one. Thank you again, and I hope your journeys were smooth. Hopefully we'll see you at another event soon, and if not we'll have to find an excuse for another party! All the best, Helena and Luke"

"It was a delight to listen to Poems Ago perform. They engaged the audience with stories about each song. Their voices were in sync with each other, the instrumental playing was simply divine. I would recommend Poems Ago for a heartfelt intimate setting such as a living room concert, a ceremony at a church. They will have you all crying!"

"Absolutely professional and punctual and an excellent performance. We will look to book them again as well as recommend them to others! -- Crush E., Melbourne, FL Andy and his wife were perfect for our surprise 50th birthday party! Our theme was "Blue Ridge Country" so there music was the perfect accompanienment for the evening. The guest of honor even clogged for all in attendance to the music they played. Great fun! They even learned a new song that was requested for the evening! I would definitely consider them for any party I would be hosting for the future. Thank you both for making the night special! -- David, Hollywood, FL Great couple...perfect music for our party! -chris m, Lakeland, FL Exactly as promised. On time, played well and adapted to the conditions of our event. Very responsive and pleasant despite very last minute booking! Our guests loved the surprise -Denise G, Winter Park, FL Andy was just wonderful for my moms 60th party.... i am so happy that i booked him! -Rebecca F, Mount Dora, FL Andy Burr and Friends did a great job for us at the 90th birthday party for my stepdad! We were very pleased with their performance. I would highly recommend them. Andy was very easy to work with and the group was very talented! -Tom S, Douglasville, GA Andy and friend were awesome. We had several special requests (for he's the jolly good fellow), and 5 or 6 songs to be sung by one of our guests with Andy and friend accompanying. They were gracious, accommodating and a hit with all. Several of our guests went so far as to ask for Andy's contact information. I think that says it all.... -Jack S, Lake Park, GA Great show. The crowd enjoyed every minute of the performance. -Hank P, Jacksonville Beach, FL Andy and his wife Sara are easy going and accommodating. We loved their personalities and their music, and our whole party did as well. If I have another backyard party I would have them again! I want to add that they were so nice to let us have an open mic with their equipment. They let our sons play some songs and let our nephew play his sax and gave him some professional coaching along the way. They are true professionals and all this made the night super special. -Chrissy R, Jacksonville Beach, FL They were absolutely perfect!!!! -Jill Z, Tampa, FL Andy Burr and friends were amazing at our Colony Cove Harvest Festival. They were on time, professional, and our community members loved them! We are planning another harvest festival at a sister property and will absolutely call Andy Burr and friends to come and perform for those guests as well. Great people, wonderful music, and a real crowd pleaser! Thank you, guys! Beth Blankenship Eastern Marketing Coordinator Equity Lifestyle Properties -Beth B, Ellenton, FL What a great group of people. On time, professional, great music! -Mary Jane T, Ocala, FL They Were Great! The crowd loved them! -Robert S, Rome, GA They were completely amazing for our wedding. Very talented, friendly and professional. I highly recommend!!!! I can't thank you guys enough!! -Ashley S, Titusville, FL Wonderful performers--personable and engaging--we so enjoyed having them with us! -Melinda M, Melbourne, FL Andy Burr's band did a great job at our 70th Birthday-- contacted us immediately to discuss the event, the venue, etc. They require only a plug in to perform! We loved that we could preview his songs on his website. He accommodated our special song. It was difficult because people were hadn't seen each other for over 20 years.... everyone was chatty, which is somewhat disrespectful; but no problem. Two outgoing youngsters that wanted to perform and Andy very graciously accommodated --to the delight of the adults. They were very professional, very accommodating, very flexible, very easy to work with, great music. We'd recommend them highly. -Sharon S, Orlando, FL Andy and Sarah are wonderful performers and great people. Our Community enjoyed both their company and their talent. Their style is relaxed and friendly. They interacted with our members in a relaxed manner in total conformity with the "Country Friendly" nature of the event. Marilyn Black Dussault, President Vero Palm Estates HOA BOD -Marilyn D, Vero Beach, FL Mountain Brew was excellent! Certainly made me want to boot scoot! Unfortunately our crowd was pooped after playing 18 holes and were too tired to dance. -Kelly F, Sarasota, FL A really good group for our Irish Celtic Festival, the sound, equipment and music was very appropriate. Next year we want to try and amplify them louder so they can be heard all the way to the back of the festival field. -Lori B, Bradenton, FL Andy and friend arrived on time. Extremely nice and wonderful to work with. They performed extremely well and were very accomodating when we interrupted to make announcements. -Rita J, Pompano Beach, FL"

"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! "
