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
"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding and adding such a wonderful touch to the day. Walking down the aisle to Tabhair dom do lámh was a moment we'll never forget, and the tunes you played throughout the cocktail reception kept the atmosphere so lively and joyous. Your music made Emma's whole Irish side of the family very happy and gave many of our American guests their first intro to traditional Irish music - not to mention that you all sounded great too! We can't thank you enough for adding such a special touch to our Wedding Day!
With so much gratitude,"
The Brogues Ceilidh Band
