Copper Brereton
"Copper was great - played for our day 2 wedding BBQ. Great mix of it Irish and contemporary, the music was brilliant and people enjoyed it. Also a very nice guy to deal with, both in advance and on the day. He brought a fiddle player alongside which was class."
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,"
