Lindsay and Paul
"Paul and Lindsay were the perfect addition to my grandma’s big family reunion / birthday party. Their communication throughout the booking process was flawless and professional. The actual performance was spell-bounding . The tunes they played were so nostalgic and nobodies feet could stay still. All guests were very impressed, and The Publicans were the talk of the party. Thanks again Paul - we hope to see you again soon! (10 / 10)

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."
