Premier Bagpiper for Hire
"From the first message of booking for the event to the day itself, Michael was a pleasure to deal with. Could not recommend enough."
Kitchen
"Kitchen are a first class professional music choice for any occasion. Highly recommended."
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!"
Asgards Traditional Irish Music
"We had the Asgards play at the day 2 of our wedding in September to a mixed audience of British and Irish guests and they were absolutely phenomenal! We really wanted our guests to experience some traditional Irish music as part of our wedding celebration and Asgards were the perfect band for that!"
The Irish Wedding Trad Trio

Appreciated their responsiveness and friendliness prior to the event.
Would 100% recommend."
The Celtic All Stars
"10/10, The highlight of our wedding celebration. Amazing performance from start to finish. Such a talented band. Highly recommend to anyone looking to add an element of Irish culture to their wedding celebration."
