The Moving Bogs' Reviews

5 out of 5

I hired The Moving Bogs for my St.Patricks party and they were fantastic. The Uilleann piper was top notch and the guitarist knew all the well known Irish songs. Great Craic! Will definitely book them again. Simon.

The newly formed 'Moving Bogs' Band played a St.Patrick's gig at our club to an enthusiastic audience. Ernie sang loads of Irish songs and encouraged audience participation whilst Will and John played fiery jigs and reels to get people dancing and clapping. 5 stars!! Simon.
