"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."

" Ostrich Hat made our wedding absolutely phenomenal. Their flexibility with scheduling and timing was so superb. They were talented performers who were able to get everyone dancing. Their song choices were very fun and they did a beautiful rendition of our song. They helped me connect with an acoustic musician for the ceremony as well. If you are thinking about Ostrich Hat for your wedding, absolutely choose them to have the reception of your dreams. Even our photographers (who shoot weddings every weekend) were extremely impressed with them. I think that speaks volumes."

"Martin and Roy played at my Birthday Party and it was absolutely Brilliant! The Dance floor was packed from the moment they started playing to the end of the evening. Everybody said how much they enjoyed the music. It was all the songs we new from the 60's to the 90's and some contemporary ones too. The sound was fantastic. It really sounded like a 6 piece band with backing vocals all at just the right volume. If you want a great fun band that can play all your favorite hits then look no further than Footloose. Their vocals and guitars were fantastic and the extra instruments they played on the backing were spot on. Thanks Footloose"

"Rob is a fantastic musician with a wide range of classic music to make people feel good and get up and start dancing. His vocals are amazing and never fail to get everyones attention. He is happy to take requests from the audience. Also, he plays for a long time without taking a break so there is no break up in continuity. Keep up the good work Rob."

"We thought Relative Cool were absolutely brilliant when they played at our wedding. The vocalist was fabulous! The 3 sets filled the whole evening and definitely had everyone up dancing. I also really appreciated little things like the singer chatting with one of the kids while they had a break between sets. They were thoroughly professional throughout. We spoke to Tom before the evening and he was always really responsive with messages. We would definitely recommend them and thank you very much for making it a great evening! "

"We love them, they are an amazing band!! We first saw them live for an event at our church and decided to reach out to hire them for a 30th Birthday party and they did an amazing work, they clearly explained every song, they took their time, it never felt rushed or a hassle, they were very accommodating and overall we had a great communication with Grace. Definitely recommend them they are all lovely people, easy to get on with and I hope they continue to grow and be blessed, they do a fantastic job!"

"Nancy and Franscois married on 28 June 2025. Everything went smoothly, from the beach ceremony to the dinner/dance. Final Edition provided all the music and I would recommend them to my friends and colleagues. Very accommodating and good choice of music."

"Well what can we say, there isn’t enough praise, recognition & gratitude for how amazing Relative Cool were on our wedding evening. From the initial enquiry to the day, communication was excellent, the actual performance was beyond expectations & all the way through from the first song, our guests were on their feet. Superb mix of genres, suited the whole wedding party, so professional, we will be following the band going forward. Can’t recommend enough. Thankyou to you all for a wonderful evening. "
