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!"

"Thank you for another fantastic party last night. You were all brilliant and really embraced the spirit of the event which really puts the icing on the proverbial cake. Please can we book you for 2024?!"
Blag
"Absolutely brilliant! Made the entire night and brought so much life to the party.
Played a mixture of upbeat songs and irish jigs and accommodated the music we wanted for the party and accommodated all ages.
So excited to book them again. The guests are still mentionioning them a whole week after our event. Most friendly and professional band you could hire.
If you're looking for a band to accommodate 18+ look no further, the whole place was dancing all night. Very talented guys.
Thank you so much for making our party that much better."
