The caller handled inexperienced participants, hot weather, and minor technical challenges to deliver an enjoyable experience for all, including child-friendly dances. I recommend this band." Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region (125 miles from Caen) 14th July 2026 James - Wedding Photo of Ingrid Magee Funeral Singer London Ingrid Magee Funeral Singer London "Ingrid, a quick note on behalf of the family. Thank you for the amazing vocals last Wednesday. When Mum and I were discussing her wishes; it was everything we hoped. I sobbed the whole way through Ave Maria. Your performance was truly beautiful. On a personal note, thank you for navigating some tricky times. Knowing you were taking care gave me confidence to relax. Wishing you and yours a lovely Christmas x" Based in Bexley, England, United Kingdom (157 miles from Caen) 2nd October 2026 Denise P - Funeral Photo of Damian Delahunty Damian Delahunty "Hired Damian for a private party for my sons 18th. Leading up to the date, Damian offered advice on venues, agreed the price, ran through song selection with me. On the night Damian was excellent. Arrived early, well organised with lighting and sound setup. He did two sets with a short break in between. Damian interacted with everyone there, taking requests etc. He even let a few budding musicians and singers do a couple of songs! I'd highly recommend Damian to anyone. He's a great singer and guitarist, with such a wealth of experience that you know you are in good hands. Rob Jones." Based in Windsor, England, United Kingdom (159 miles from Caen) Rob jones - Birthday Photo of Craigievar Ceilidh Band Craigievar Ceilidh Band "Thank you for another fantastic party last night. You were all brilliant and really embraced the spirit of the event which really puts the icing on the proverbial cake. Please can we book you for 2024?!" Based in Reading, England, United Kingdom (159 miles from Caen) Rachael Thomson - Burns Night Reeling Party Photo of Dorothy Harpist Dorothy Harpist "TLDR: Music is good, communications is on point, on the day it’s all under control and beautifully executed, everyone enjoyed, stress free throughout, we are so happy. —— We are so blessed to have Dorothy playing harp at our wedding! Totally recommend her as she excels every single steps throughout. She’s so talented, professional and with lots of personal touch that we deeply appreciate. Her music is just amazing. All the guests complimented her and enjoyed all the songs. She’s able to learn extra new songs depending on the packages, and those ones we asked her to learn were beyond the world. Made so many of us cry as the music really complemented the moment perfectly. Her website and wedding information book was clear and easy to navigate. From the first email communications, Dorothy showed great dedication, care and professionalism in catering to our big day. She gave super clear communications and instructions, was very involved throughout but also gives us (the couple) lots of freedom to design the process (music lineups, songs arrangement, where to set up the harp, etc) to make it how we want it. We’ve dealt with so many suppliers along the way as we plan for the wedding, and although they are all great, Dorothy is honestly the best and really makes us feel so safe and happy throughout and even afterwards.
