Jord Percussion (DJ Bongos)
"I've been to a few of Jord's gigs and she is an unbelievably gifted percussionist/drummer whose passion for rhythm and music shines through in every time she performs. Whether she's playing live, or collaborating with other musicians, her timing, creativity, and energy elevate the entire musical experience.
I've had the privilege of seeing her perform multiple times, and each time I'm blown away by her skill, precision, and stage presence. She brings both technical expertise and a deep sense of musicality to her craft, making her not only a great performer but also an inspiring artist to work with.
If you're looking for an authentic, reliable, and talented drummer or percussionist for any event, or collaboration - look no further. Highly recommended!"

He gave out party the energy we were looking for and his bongo skills are just epic! Thank you so much for making our event so special and memorable. Keep up the great work and can’t wait to have you back again soon!

King Konga - Percussionist & DJ
"What a fantastic duo! They were excellent from the start, helping us create the vibe we wanted for our wedding. My husband and were blown away by how they interacted with the crowd, knowing exactly when to play what songs for that moment’s vibe. The dancefloor was never empty. Music has always been important to us, and I can honestly say Si and Andy made our wedding day. I have already had friends from our wedding who work within the hospitality industry ask for their details as they are a well-rounded band and make any song memorable. We highly recommend and will be booking again for future events."
Ciaran O’Donovan Music
"Ciaran is a top entertainer- I booked him as a solo vocalist and he really is one of the best singers that I have worked with to date. Everything from all Jazz crooners to Ed Sheeran style upbeat songs, Ciaran has a voice that can do it all. I would absolutely work with Ciaran again and fully intend to."
