Just a note to say thank you so much for the legendary performance at our wedding in Beleek Castle in Ballina Co. Mayo in May 2008. It's still talked about as one of the most entertaining, brilliant and quirky receptions that people had ever been to. The music and the ceili meant that both the irish and americans, of all ages, joined in and really let loose for the evening. From the waltzes, ceili songs, the ballads to the 'hokey pokey' people couldnt get enough! Dublin city folk's charm, punctuality, and effortless liaising back and forth with us in the weeks leading up to the wedding and excellent price took a huge amount of stress off us. Brilliant all round. You are a very unique group with a talent to energise an audience. We are so glad we didn't go for the cookie cutter run of the mill wedding band. The music and the ceili reflected us so much better and you did us proud! Thanks for making the day so memorable - Matt & Laura Steerman
Thanks for the follow up e-mail, we have just got back from honeymoon so apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Having you at our drinks reception was one of the best decisions we made, you created a great atmosphere and entertained the whole party and people of all ages enjoyed the music and the sing along. It was great that Father Des could also get involved and joined in on a few tracks. Many of our guests commented on the music and delivery and all agreed that it made the afternoon and was superb entertainment. Thanks for your effort and I would be happy to recommend to anyone who is interested. You are right, I was rather busy but did get time to listen to a few tunes, I did get the tape you left so thanks for that. A great day all round. - Paul & Yvonne - Glenview Hotel, Co. Wicklow, May 2008
Thank you very much for your first class entertainment, everyone just loved it, the music was wonderful, and the dancers were superb, everyone is still talking about it.

Thanks again your music really made the day extra special! - Espana Culla, Powerscout House 15th March 2008
I have no hesitation in teling the world of how delighted Rosalind and I were for the band, Clement. Your caller was a most polite , understandiong and patient teacher! You gave such pleasure to my guests who were from all parts of the British Isles and from all traditions. We particularly liked the formality mixed with genuine sincerity. No false charm. Musically, you were a delight! Cost: more than reasonable! many many thanks Clem. - Gerard Mc Keown, Malone House Belfast, Feb. 23rd 2008
