They were a huge success with everyone especially the bride and groom, exactly what they wanted! There were lots of comments on how good they were, particularly Jim's voice. We even managed to get Ed's dad up, which is unheard of, but he is Irish so it must have got to him! I hope the band enjoyed it as much as we did. I hope I get to hear the band again one day and won't hesitate to recommend them. Thanks again"

We would like to say a special thank you for you playing at our wedding on the 5th March, you were BRILLIANT! Everyone enjoyed themselves and I think it will be a talking point with our Irish family for years!
Hugh Murphy
Thank you so much for performing at my 40th. As I selected the group from the Internet lottery without ever seeing them play, I did run the risk of The Muppet Show band turning up, or worse…a no show. Credit must go to their customer testimonials, for my choice and like all the others I am so pleased that I chose them. Communications were fluid and organisation was commonsensical; set-up was well orchestrated and the performance was fantastic, with a well segued set, easing guests onto the dance floor. When everyone I have spoken with since the party mentions how great the band was, it confirms that it wasn’t just my 'three sheets to the wind’ disposition that made the night so enjoyable. Thanks again."
White
Everyone loved it. The choice of music and dances seemed to be pitched perfectly for the audience and your caller did a superb job.

Just a quick note to thank you and the rest of the band again for such a fantastic night last Saturday. I'm sure I left you in no doubt how impressed I was anyway, but I wanted to let you know that I've had non-stop calls and emails from our guests saying how brilliant they all thought you were.
