"Excellent on every possible level. I would highly recommend and vouch for Manoli. He is an excellent musician and an fantastic person. We had the pleasure to hire him for two venues, our wedding and the christening of our son. I cannot describe in few words how challenging can be to organise not one but two destination events. We had to speak with numerous vendors with a time zone difference of 9 hours and only 10 days arriving before the wedding. Everything was lovely at the end and we created memories of a lifetime but as you can imagine there were a few bumps on the road. The reason I wanted to include the above facts was to highlight that none of the bumps came from the youngest vendor we hired, Manoli. He was unbelievably professional during the arrangements and for both events. We initially approached Manoli for one specific occasion. Where we come from, when the bride and groom are getting ready for the ceremony, they are accompanied by traditional music and that’s why we approached him. I was so delighted with his attitude that we requested from him to perform also during the celebrations after wedding and the christening two days later. His range is admirable. He played traditional Greek and Cypriot music during the preparation of myself and the bride, he performed a contemporary set of globally known artists at the beginning of our after the wedding celebration, he joined the band of the venue and then two days later performed with musicians that he arranged at our son’s christening. I cannot describe how grateful I have been that MAnolis was suggested to me and we ended having him for two of the most special days in our family’s life. In summary, he is an excellent musician with a wide range in music, has a great attitude, will provide solutions to any possible situation, always with a smile and he might even look into expanding his range for your event. I would hire him for every possible event and would recommend him without a second thought. Enjoy his music 🎼 and let Manoli make your special moments even more special as he did for ours. Thank you Manoli! "

"We just wanted to say thanks so much for playing at our wedding! You guys did a superb job and we loved the Orcadian Strip The Willow idea for our first dance, you were great at calling it and it was brilliant to see all our best friends and family up dancing with us. We all loved your fun mix of music too, you were very accommodating. We have the best memories from our very special day."

"Blag were fantastic at our Burns night celebration last night, they were very flexible with our timings and played two brilliant sets. The communication beforehand was great which really put me at ease before they arrived. Both sets were so great that they managed to get almost everyone on the dance floor all night! I would have no hestitation in recommending Blag and look forward to booking them for our next event"

"We booked Blag for our Golden Wedding. They were excellent. They played soft music whilst we were eating then organised the barn dancing. All our guests were very impressed and, I understand, several asked for their contact details."

"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."

"The Musical Duo 'Good To Go' are truly good to go for all of your live music needs; be it a wedding, birthday, retirement party, or music for your winery or pub as well! The versatility of Mike and Susanne together is fit for any scenario.Between the accordion, the guitar, and the harmonies, they do jazz, classic rock, modern hits and more. Catch them soon at one of their many live performances near you!" • Ratin:   *****   • Reviewer: Alex C • Event Date: June 30th, 2023 • Services Provided: Cover Band "

"The House Devils were amazing at our wedding! It was the best decision we made for the evening reception! They coordinated with the groom for a special first dance, and only got better from there. I cannot fault them. All of our guests were raving about how good they were! Cannot recommend more highly! "

"The firsts time we met Trad Union was when the played during the drinks reception that we were working. They play a mixture of Irish tunes, slow ballads and fast songs . They kept the guests well entertained in between songs with stories of working with legendary artists like the Dubliners, Paddy Reilly etc….. we would highly recommend them for all your Wedding and corporate needs."
