ClusterFolk
"Clusterfolk played at my wedding last weekend and were absolutely amazing.
They were the perfect backdrop to my wedding reception and played a mix of instrumentals and vocals.
We received many compliments regarding the music and quality, and the guys are truly lovely and easy to work with.
We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again"
Irish Frank
"Frank Doherty and Ben Gunnery turned a family party into a proper ‘hooley’! From folk songs, to ballads, to the Siege of Ennis, they cranked up the volume when we wanted everyone up on the dance floor, but also allowed the fiddle, guitar and tin whistle to play quietly in the background when people wanted to sit & talk.
Two very good Irish musicians; well-played lads ‘go raibh mait agat’!"
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?!"
Oscar Tabor - Socially distanced concerts
"I asked Oscar and his brother Barney to record a cover of my mums favourite song for her birthday and she absolutely loved it! It was a beautiful and very personal gift at a time when I couldn't be with her in person. Thank you both!"
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."
Lindsay and Paul
"Paul and Lindsay were the perfect addition to my grandma’s big family reunion / birthday party. Their communication throughout the booking process was flawless and professional. The actual performance was spell-bounding . The tunes they played were so nostalgic and nobodies feet could stay still. All guests were very impressed, and The Publicans were the talk of the party. Thanks again Paul - we hope to see you again soon! (10 / 10)
