It made it all the more special having you there, it brought back memories of our engagement and your performance was exactly what we were looking for! Our family and friends were also very impressed!" Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom (48 miles from Monaghan) Aaron & Stacey Best Photo of Pure Blarney 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!" Based in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom (51 miles from Monaghan) Barry Taggart - Wedding Photo of Trad Union Trad Union "Gary and Paul were very reliable and professional.
