Pure Blarney
"Just a note from myself though, we knew the band was great and would go down amazingly with our guests - but we were not prepared for how well they were received!! So many compliments about you guys!
Review for you to use:
We had pure blarney play at our wedding and what an experience!!
They were absolutely outstanding. The dance floor was full the entire time - you literally couldn’t stop for a break because every song they played was phenomenal. They were so interactive with the guests and created the most amazing atmosphere.
They genuinely have such a talent for what then do - their instruments, their singing and their ability to sustain such high energy.
Absolutely faultless!"

"I asked Oscar and his brother Barney to record a cover of my mums favourite song for her birthday and she absolutely loved it! It was a beautiful and very personal gift at a time when I couldn't be with her in person. Thank you both!"
