Daniel's Reviews

Excellent. Danny and the band were very entertaining and accommodating. They even stayed on for an extra 1.5 hours to entertain the guests. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for an Irish /folk band for an event. Thank you very much! 5/5

Hey Danny, On behalf of my whole team and all of our older neighbours, I just wanted to say a huge, huge thank you to you all for such an amazing performance on Sunday! The feedback was glowing and everyone said it was wonderful to be able to relax and enjoy such brilliant live music (very different to an afternoon at home in front of the TV, which is a horrible reality for many of the people at our party). You have no idea how special you made our birthday!

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Generally it is not a problem and we can accommodate small changes easily.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional fee

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't listed in the set list there is still a chance we know it so please ask us about any special requests. We can often learn one or two new songs for an event without an extra fee
