5/5 from 163 reviews

Barnbuskers Ceilidh Barn Dance Band "I had the best time with the Barn Buskers celebrating my 50th birthday. From the minute I booked them to the moment they had to leave they were brilliant. The youngest guest was 2, the oldest was 85 and everybody said what a fantastic time they had. Knees hurt but cheeks hurt more from all the smiling and laughing. The caller did extraordinarily well keeping us all together. Note to self.....must learn left from right 😂😂 If you are looking for some talented musicians with a flare to keep the party going, at a pace that suits your needs, then look no further. I believe a friend has booked them for their wedding next year, and I for one can't wait to do it all again 🩷 Huge thank you to Judy and co. Truly a most memorable day 🩷🥳" Based in Minehead, England (23 miles from Cardiff) 27th January 2026 Tamzin Jones - Birthday party

Richard - Solo Accordionist "The highlight of the night is the musical score which has been devised by cast member Richard Hughes. He provides accompaniment using a variety of instruments including an accordion, tuba and even two pairs of scissors. (review for "The Tragic And Disturbing Tale Of Little Lupin" at Bristol's Old Vic)" Based in Bristol, England (25 miles from Cardiff) Carl Martin Fraser - Music OHM - Theatre/Film soundtrack

Oh la la! "The residents of Norton Place were delighted to welcome Fifi and Olly to perform at our summer soirée on 16 August. Their performance was uplifting and wowed the audience over three sets with their fabulous range of familiar and not so familiar french music." Based in London, England (131 miles from Cardiff) 7th September 2026 Lynn McNamara - Summer party

L'Esprit du Jazz "“L’Esprit du Jazz, accordionist Karen Street’s quartet in a pleasing set of tightly arranged swing and jazz. The music ranged from Galliano musette tunes to Scottish folk style and a smoky rendition of The Way You Look Tonight from bass-playing vocalist Charlie Pyne.” Bath Festival" Based in London, England (131 miles from Cardiff) 26th March 2026 Knod Knowles - Bath Festival

Solo French Accordion "Mike was a great addition to our French-themed event! His accordion playing is first rate and he was a winner with the crowd and our stallholders. Would definitely recommend! Thank you again!" Based in London, England (131 miles from Cardiff) Mike Guy - Cranbrook Apple Fayre (charity town fair)

Balkan Express - Magic Balkan Gypsy Music "Fantastic concert at the University today. So many different musical strands integrated beautifully and powerfully!
