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!"
JM Saxophone
"John played our wedding dinner entrance and throughout the meal, and he was absolutely brilliant, He had our guests up out of their seats, cheering and celebrating as we made our entrance with our bridal party. His music created such a lovely atmosphere and made the whole meal feel so special. We had so many lovely comments from our guests about him too.
John was so friendly and professional from start to finish, and we really couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Thank you so much, John, for being part of our special day and helping make it one to remember.
We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a saxophonist for their wedding"
8-Bit Funk
"Big thank you to 8-Bit for putting on a great show. The band were super accommodating, really well organized, very communicative. They did a great job of playing background jazz at a birthday and of course all the nostalgic gaming hits. Both young(5-15) and old(40 yr olds) loved it"
