"I would totally recommend Wraggle Taggle Wraggle Taggle were professional, very accommodating, and went down a treat (9th February 2019 Saturday The King's Royal Hussars Officers' Mess, Tidworth Garrison, Wiltshire, SP9 7BB). They offered both amplified and non-amplified music and using their amplifiers were able to hold a full room of 90 loud and merry party goers. I would totally recommend Wraggle Taggle for any party or event and if the theme lent itself, I would, without doubt, use them again Best wishes Seb Teuber, The King's Royal Hussars 22nd February 2019"

"Total MAGIC! Ayden Graham and his band mates were so sensational for our summer soirée party. This is an ultra professional, top-notch band with incredible musicality and with really nice people to boot! They brought the musical magic to our event and made it an totally unforgettable experience. From toddlers to folks in their 80s, it was truly a good time for all. The whole process from beginning to end was extremely smooth. Ayden was very communicative and made certain he understood the meaning of the event, the tone of our crowd and then he completely over delivered! We were amazed and star-stuck and thanking our good fortune to be in the hands of someone so talented. We couldn't recommend them more highly for any event that needs great music to give it the right touch."

"We had the Brogues band at our wedding day in September 2023. Brogues band were absolutely integral to our special day, not only was the music perfect for our setting & wedding the service and professionalism we experienced from the band was amazing! We had spoken with Grace from the band initially who had initially discussed our wedding day plans- no request was too much for the band. They completely slotted into our day and wedding as we wished! From the Ceilidh calling to the dancing itself, we could not have asked for anything more. Following the wedding we had many comments from our wedding guests complimenting how great the band were and how relaxed and well co-ordinated the Ceilidh dances were. Grace had done an excellent job of Ceilidh calling, and rounding up members of the wedding- which we appreciate can not be easy at the reception after the guests have had a few drinks! The dance floor was never empty and this was something we were so pleased about. As our venue can seem massive when the floor isn’t filled, however the band ensured that there was always ample people up boogeying away. From the moment of the first dance to our last dance of Loch Lomond, the band completely ensured the party was going and everyone had a great time. Requests were kindly taken from the dance floor too which allowed everyone to feel part of the wedding and gave every one a chance to get up and dance into the night! We cannot recommend Brogues Band enough, absolutely perfect if you’re looking for a traditional & laid back Scottish wedding- with your own stamp added! Thank you Brogues Band x"

"Pete St John, April 2012 . It happened as it always does in the folk music world ….. Unexpectedly !! … Four fine balladeers from Ballyfermot came to me singing my songs . They had fallen in love with a song I had written about the ongoing and inevitable subject of Emigration in the Irish way of Life . I had tried , in this particular song , to bring a little lightness to the subject … by admitting that Irishmen are all mammy’s boys !! .. the girls are special and loved but the boys are mammy’s pets !!! . And when they are far away from home they always want to call the Mammy !! “ Rambling Rose or Rambling Paddy Don’t forget to call the Mammy !! “ What a bonus for me !! … I could not be happier !! Come along and hear these guys sing and play ..…. They are what Irish Folk Music is all about !! Pete St John . © ."
