A2 Barn Dance Band
"A2 Barn Dance provided a reel party for our daughter's 18th birthday party - what a night it was! They were very friendly and professional from the booking stage all the way through to the last note. They quickly realised our level of proficiency on the night and adapted their playing accordingly. In addition to being consummate musicians, they are really pleasant to deal with and supportive. I thoroughly recommend them."

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."

Rufus Return
"Hi Brendan,
We just wanted to thank the band for a fantastic barn dance yesterday. We all had an amazing time doing the dances and the dancefloor was never empty! It all went really smoothly and we are really grateful. Sorry you weren’t able to be there but I was hoping you could pass our thanks along to the band members. Thank you for all your communication and putting our minds to ease."
