Barbera & Champagne
"We were so pleased with Barbera &Champagne; their music is wonderful! They set the mood for a festive evening at the beginning of the reception at my son's wedding reception. Her voice is so beautiful and powerful and she sings in both Italian and English. She was lovely to deal with and understanding of a last minute location change at the venue-the Castello di Potentino. I highly recommend this duo for your own occasion and I know you will be as happy with them as we were!"
Asgards Traditional Irish Music
"We couldn’t have been happier with Asgards at my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. They were absolutely fantastic and helped make a very special occasion even more memorable. The music was brilliant, the atmosphere was wonderful, and they kept everyone entertained throughout the night.
They were also incredibly accommodating and made sure everything ran smoothly. Alison was a pleasure to deal with from the very beginning: friendly, helpful and so easy to work with. We’re very grateful to the whole band for helping make the celebration such a success. I would highly recommend Asgards to anyone looking for a brilliant band for their event."
