    DJ Greg
    "Had Greg come up and MC and DJ our small wedding in Glencoe this month and he didn’t disappoint. Not even the floods that brought the country to its knees could stop him getting there! The background tunes throughout the day were on point with our laid back vibe but when it came time to party he brought the energy we were chasing, it’s why we wanted him in the first place! He called a perfect little ceilidh for us and had the dance floor full all night with banger after banger, helping show the Aussie half that the Scot’s know how to party 🤙🏻 Chatting away to the guests, venue staff and other vendors throughout he fitted in perfect as part of our day. He turns up, sets up and does his thing, taking the pressure off us with one less thing to worry about. Would definitely recommend 👍🏻"

    Kane - Wedding
    The Irish Wedding Trad Trio
    "Your music really set the tone for the day as music was a really important part of it for both of us and it set the perfect vibe as our guests arrived into the venue and started the party! The mix of traditional, folk and current tunes catered for the whole guest list and gave our visiting guests a little taste of Ireland at the same time. We would recommend you wholeheartedly on any bride or groom who wants to entertain their friends and family. Rachel and Stephen Gallagher (Jan 2026)"
