"Kirsty sang for a 60th Birthday celebration in a beautiful Croft we stayed in for the occasion. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea with delightful background music. Kirsty was accompanied by her Dad who also played some amazing piano pieces as well as playing the low pipe for us. Kirsty tailored the set to the favourites of the Birthday Girl so the whole performance was very personal. Kirsty has a very warm personality which was reflected in her singing and the combination of Dad & Daughter was very special indeed. Kirsty’s voice is like velvet and the performance was very emotional. I would certainly recommend Kirsty if you are looking for a first class singer. Thanks yet again Kirsty and John. We hope to meet again!"

"So many positive things to say about Johnny and his service. He responded quickly. His communication was thorough, timely, and clear. Very accommodating. Very gracious to be a part of my father’s funeral services. He is highly talented. His music was beautiful. It added the touch to our services that made it extra special. Thanks Johnny. Highly recommended."

"Robert was a fantastic addition to our wedding, and added a unique element that will absolutely be remembered by the attendees. He was a pleasure to work with before the event, played the bagpipes amazingly well (a friend is a series bagpiper and he noted that Robert was very talented), and accommodated music and picture requests thus making sure everyone was thrilled. I would 100% recommend Robert for any bagpipe events! = Andy B."

"Johnny Miner played at my mother’s memorial service. He is so talented. He was very kind and patient when I was planning the service and helped me with the process. I will never forget him leading my mother’s casket to her final resting place. Thank you Johnny"

"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."

"Wonderful Experience! We had a wonderful experience with Mad Mix International DJ Productions! We were married on 11/07/2020 with all of our constant changes due to Covid throughout the year Henry was super flexible and accommodating with all of our date changes and an almost possible venue change. We were so lucky to have been able to have our wedding at Tunxis Country Club and the music provided by this vendor was great! All of our guests had a great time dancing the night away, from throwback music to current music they had it all! Would absolutely recommend!!"

"The Perfect Soundtrack to Our Wedding – Thanks to Grace Grace was a dream to work with — kind, talented, and completely tuned in to our vision from the very start. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she went above and beyond to provide music samples tailored to our ceremony choices, including a breathtaking Killers Medley for my walk down the aisle. When the day arrived, Grace’s live piano and vocals elevated every moment. Her performance during the pre-ceremony and throughout was simply stunning — elegant, emotional, and beautifully paced. Walking down the aisle to her music was one of the most emotional moments of the entire day. Guests repeatedly told us how special it felt to have live music, and how lovely Grace was. Her presence brought warmth and grace (no pun intended!) and truly helped shape the atmosphere of love and joy. Grace, you are so talented — we honestly can’t thank you enough for creating such magical moments through your music. If you’re looking for something wonderful and heartfelt, Grace is absolutely your gal."

"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."

"Johnny played at my father’s funeral and did an exceptional job. He was great to coordinate with and was respectful of how we wanted the pipes played at the service. I would highly recommend Johnny for a service."

"‘A fantastic group of talented Irish musicians! Trad Union made everything hassle-free for Day Two of our wedding and were very pleasant to deal with. We knew our Irish family would love them and our friends/ family from all over the world commented on how wonderful it was to hear beautiful traditional music. It was a great way to kickstart our second day of celebrations. Thank you, lads! Stacey & Jason - Headfort Arms Hotel "

"We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect addition to our wedding ceremony on March 27th than Michael, our incredible Highland piper. From the very beginning, Michael was so accommodating and easy to work with. During the booking process, he took the time to understand what was important to us, especially our Scottish family connections, and made sure to incorporate that in such a meaningful and thoughtful way. It truly meant a lot to both of us and to our families. On the day itself, Michael was flexible, kind, and completely professional. His talent shone through in every moment he played, creating a beautiful and memorable atmosphere throughout the церemоny. So many of our guests commented on how special his music was and how much it added to the day. We are incredibly grateful for all of Michael’s help, warmth, and kindness. He played such an important role in making our wedding day so memorable, and we can’t thank him enough. Highly recommended. Conor and Kirsty Igoe"
