The Bristol Irish Band - Traditional Irish Band Feedback

“I had the pleasure of booking the band to perform at Yate Council's recent International Festival and I was blown away by their talent! Their music was lively and energetic, with traditional Irish tunes mixed in with some modern hits. The crowd was dancing and singing along the whole time. The band members were friendly and engaging with the audience, making for a fantastic atmosphere. I would highly recommend this band for any event or celebration. They truly know how to entertain a crowd and create a fun-filled atmosphere! ”

“Hiring the band for our wedding on the Balmoral was the best decision we ever made! They brought the party to life and had everyone dancing the night away. The fiddle and mandolin players were phenomenal, and the singer’s voice was soulful and captivating. They played a perfect mix of traditional and Irish music and some other covers that appealed to everyone. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how amazing the band was. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding band and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lively and entertaining experience! ”
