"The country roads duo at our wedding were absolutely amazing! We can’t say enough about how great they were. They were incredibly friendly, highly professional, and sounded absolutely phenomenal. They truly made our special day unforgettable. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
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 🩷🥳"
Bellows, Scratchitt & Pluckitt
"Bellows, Scratchitt & Pluckitt came and played for our wedding reception in October and did an absolutely fantastic job. They read the room extremely well, making sure that the dances were appropriate to the ability of the group, and did their best to include everyone from 3 year olds to 83 year olds. We had so much fun and would highly recommend them!"
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"
