Photo of ClusterFolk ClusterFolk "Clusterfolk played at my wedding last weekend and were absolutely amazing. They were the perfect backdrop to my wedding reception and played a mix of instrumentals and vocals. We received many compliments regarding the music and quality, and the guys are truly lovely and easy to work with. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again" Based in Southampton, England Aoife - Wedding Photo of G.J. Armstrong G.J. Armstrong "Top night. Amazing night, thank you G.J. Armstrong" Based in Manchester, England Paul Aspin Landlord of The Boundary Audenshaw Photo of Dan Walsh Dan Walsh "Created such a great atmosphere with everyone and played such an incredible variety of music. Would highly recommend!" Based in Shrewsbury, England Louise Williams Photo of Wraggle Taggle Wraggle Taggle "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" Based in London, England Seb Teuber - The King's Royal Hussars Photo of The Irish Wedding Trad Trio The Irish Wedding Trad Trio "Brilliant Trio!
