"We booked Pure Blarney after seeing the Promo video and reading their reviews. We wanted a band that would get all our guests on their feet and keep that dance floor filled all night, and wow did they deliver. They were absolutely amazing, from the songs, the interaction with the crowd and their energy, we definitely made the best decision. This truly is a band that you need at your wedding. Lively, enthuastic, entertaining, engaging and most of all an absolute brilliant bunch of people. Our guests have all said how fabulous they were, a lot have travelled from the UK, and have said it was the best band they have ever seen, and we both were blown away with how much they really made our night. Thank you guys, we could not have asked for anybody better!"

"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. 🎻💚🕺"

They were truly fantastic and really friendly. Everyone really enjoyed the music the time just flew by. They really set the tone for the rest of the night. Natalie & Derek Cabra Castle Hotel"

"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! "

"If you are looking for a unique, diverse musical sound for an occasion, then book The Achill Lads. They are exceptionally talented musicians with style/genres ranging from traditional Irish/occasion/church music, piping, folk and singing. The variety of instruments they can play is astonishing! Their professionalism is second to none and I have been lucky to perform with them throughout the years. We were very honoured to have them perform at our Wedding last year and they were amazing! A huge thank you again to Cian and Michael! Acaill abú!"

"Highly recommend Michael Lavelle, Achill Piper. He played for my brother's funeral in Galway. Came from Achill and was at the church to greet us with the beautiful selections. Our friends and relatives from the States were very impressed by his beautiful music and outfit. My brother would be very proud as he loved the pipes. Thank you, Michael. I highly recommend his piping."
