"I believe it was a tender mercy I was able to connect with Johnny, the bagpiper, at the passing of our mom. He was compassionate, professional, and created a musical selection that helped convey our feelings of sorrow and loss to reverence and respect as we said our final goodbyes to our beautiful mother. His inspiring bagpipe music helped us connect memories old and new and made the graveside service feel more personal, spiritual, and meaningful. We are forever grateful for the comfort his talents gave to our family and friends. It was the special touch our family needed to say "fare thee well" dear mom, until we meet again. I would highly recommend Johnny for any service or function."

"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."

"Roisin Ban are excellent. They arrived at the venue on time, set up quickly and then really got the party started. Excellent musicians, friendly, helpful, involved the audience and played exactly what I had requested. Would not hesitate to use them again in the future. I wish them all every success."

"A big thank you for your part in Saturday's party. You did a great job and it was a real pleasure to have you playing. The music was super and it was a relief to me that you just got on with the job so efficiently and unobtrusively, so I didn't need to think about that side of things at all. Thanks to so many people giving a helping hand I was delighted to be able to join in plenty of the dances myself which was great fun. Thanks again for giving us a memorable evening, and very best wishes for the Brogues."

"We couldn’t ask for a better experience for my father in laws funeral. Johnny showed up way in advance in a beautiful setting. We asked for some specific numbers, one of which he’d never played. He mastered the song and played it beautifully as well as the others. He also was very helpful in suggestions for timing. Prelude music while people were arriving was truly an added bonus. This man is also a true gentleman. If you desire a piper for any event, I recommend Johnny."

"My wife contacted Johnny to come and play at my surprise military, Navy, retirement. Johnny was amazingly accommodating! He played the bagpipes and visited with us for much longer than we had set up. He made it a very relaxed engaging event. He spoke with us and did a little presentation off the cuff at my wife’s request. I would highly recommend him. His appearance was impeccable his manners were top notch and the music was exceptional."

"This was just what we needed for our hotel relaunch, subtle and engaging. We have recommended Casado to other hotels in the chain throughout the UK. "
