22nd Sept 2018, Parknasilla Hotel, Kerry
We were very happy with how our wedding music turned out! Walking into the ceremony to the trio that was playing was absolutely beautiful! It really added a special touch to the setting. During our cocktail hour, even though we were taking pictures, our guests shared videos of the music and this also added a unique touch for our guest outside enjoying themselves. Lastly, during our reception, we were very happy with the hour of instrument music then the DJ to end the night! He was very energetic and we appreciate the “Philly” music and requests he was able to play for us. Planning this wedding abroad was made easy with Clem. He was able to assure me and FaceTime me with details of the day. I’m very happy I was able to find this group for our wedding! I would highly recommend them!

We employed Dublin City Folk for the full day to play at our ceremony and also to play at our drinks reception, main function and professional dj. We were hugely pleased with their organisation and playing throughout the day. They provided a brilliant tenor and musicians at the ceremony, musicians for the drinks in the gardens of the Radisson Blu Hotel, and then we had a super great fun ceili and even rock and roll for the evening entertainment. Then the professional dj took over to the end of the night. Everything ran brilliantly including the classical and traditional music for the ceremony, the ambience music for the drinks reception, and the spontaneous ceili was also great fun..They also organised our first dance through their music system. We cannot praise the organisation of the day enough. Their musicians were thoroughly professional and of the highest standard.

We had a destination wedding in Ireland and we hired the Dublin City Folk band to play for us and we just loved them! The very friendly trad band was amazing and the energetic Irish dancer got us all dancing right from the start. They were very open to create the atmosphere we were looking for by incorporating music requests we had. Having them play our first dance song live was very magical and memorable for us. The DJ was perfect at creating the right atmosphere during our various games or moments throughout the evening. We strongly recommend Dublin City Folk Band!! Thanks again guys!

You played for my Daughter's post wedding barbecue and you really got the party going which was no mean feat as most of the guests were up until the early hours the night before. Half of the guests were from the UK and had never seen Irish dancing or heard Irish music before, they absolutely loved every minute of it. We all had a wonderful time and it was a perfect way to end a perfect wedding weekend. We all especially enjoyed the dance caller guiding us through each dance with great patience as she needed it in our case. Your music was so cheerful and happy it created a most enjoyable atmosphere. Thank you for doing such a great job, I'll definitely be recommending you.

So sorry for my late reply we were in Seville enjoying every moment of our new life as husband and wife :) Pierre and myself would like to thank you and the gang (soprano, musicians, irish dancers and dj) for making our day so perfectly brilliant! We weren't quite sure at first if the French gang would get into the mood or join in easily, we thought it might take them a while but you worked your magic and we couldn't get them off the dancefloor in the end! Our guests had an absolute ball and are bound to remember our wedding. They were all mesmerised by the soprano and I have to say so were we! She was everything we dreamed of for our big day! You guys are true professionals, you know what you're doing and that helped things to run smoothly and naturally from start to end. Thank you so so much for making our magical day so perfect!
Kindest regards to you all!

31st October 2016, House Party, Swords Road, Malahide, Co Dublin.
This Band are first class. Dublin City Folk Band played at a small and intimate venue at which 30 guests were present. The celebration simply would not have been a success without them. Guests from both sides of the Wedding Party who were initially shy about mingling fast became friends as they were gently and expertly encouraged by the Band to gather, to dance and not long after all wanted to participate in the singing and dancing. We were pleased to hear a variety of music played and/or sung with expertise, precision and enthusiasm ranging from traditional Irish Ballads, Ceili Music and a good helping of whatever the guests wanted, even blues, country, sing-along and easy listening etc. We were encouraged to submit requests. I suspect this Band could play any music asked of them and for us guests and for the Wedding Party it meant a very personal and unique experience.

Our wedding was made extra special by the full days entertainment we got from Dublin City Folk.

The drinks reception was also what we wanted with background classical trad music and some showtunes from movies which were entertaining and nostalgic. Then the band at night with plenty of singing and a great ceili and river dance show followed by a super DJ, really sealed the deal!! Everyone mentioned how good you were! Thanks a million guys!!

The band were fantastic and the caller had young and old up getting involved and enjoying the dances.

Hi Clem, Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. On behalf of my wife Katherine and I we would like to Thank You most sincerely for the Wonderful musicians you provided for our Wedding Day. The Church music in Ballyhaunis was heavenly and was commented on by many of our wedding guests. Jenny your soprano is a brilliant singer and she was very good on the key board. Tom Clancy and Moss are brilliant musicians and very professional.  They were great at the church and they entertained the wedding guests in the afternoon while we were getting photos taken. They provided a Great Nights entertainment in Westport and it was enjoyed by all. Mildred Smith the ceilli caller was very good and entertaining and got every body up dancing. A lot of the wedding guests knew her as she works for the local radio station. The DJ was very good and provided a nice mix of music which was enjoyed by all. We had a Great Wedding Day and even the weather stayed fine that day as we had a lot of snow the day before. All our Wedding Guests had a great day and thanks to you Clem we had beautiful music and entertainment. I am very sorry we didn't get back to you sooner as we are not long back from our honeymoon. Thank's very much for organising and providing all our Wedding Music. It was nice dealing with you in the build up to the wedding.

We wanted to get a really good band at a competitive price (not easy to do!) and we found the right one in City Folk. They performed at our drinks reception and put on a great show later on with a ceili and Riverdance dancers. We used the dry dock bar for the dancing and it worked a treat. We can’t speak too highly of the band. They also supplied a great dj well into the early hours of the morning…and all at a great price without any sacrifice in quality.

Myself and Davie just wanted to thank you and the guys for making our wedding so perfect and pulling it all together for us. I had booked Dublincityfolk based on all the wonderful references I had read. Some people told us we were taking a risk having not seen you perform but we were confident everything would be fine and how right we were. Throughout the whole day we received praise on our choice of entertainment. The church music was perfect, the pre reception was perfect, the ceili's were perfect, all the music was perfect. And the dj you organised did such a great job too. There we're sore feet all round the following morn. We planned our wedding for over a year and while there were some areas which gave us a headache, dealing with yourself was such a weight off. You took control of our day from start to finish and dealt with everything in such a personal and at the same time professional way. We can't thank you enough. And also to put up with all my last min changes ... thank you so much. I really hope to see you perform at a wedding or event I'm attending in the future. I know we'll be guaranteed a great night. Again, really can't thank you all enough. You made our day. All the best,
Linda and Davie

Hi Clem, Rob & I can't thank you and Dublin City Folk enough for playing at our wedding on Fri 18th May. The music played at the ceremony was perfect, the drinks reception got everyone going and the main function absolutely superb. From our first dance to the final song played by the DJ at the end of the night, the dance floor was never empty. The ceili was great craic and the hokey cokey a winner for all ages. The dancers were excellent & very professional & the ceili caller an expert. The band outstanding and the DJ knew exactly what to play to get the crowd going.. the impromptu "Riverdance" performance by some guests will be a talking point for a long time ( i just hope the DJ gets over the shock !!)  :) All of our guests have told us they had an amazing day and can't say enough about the entertainment. As for Rob & I, we had the perfect day, full of fun and great craic and for that we say a massive big thank you!! Thanks again and all the best!

Hi Guys and Marie - Just to thank you very much for performing at our wedding. It was brilliant for the whole day. Your Soprano Marie Delaney was marvellous and a great complement to the classical trad music by O Carolan and O Riada that you played at the Church. It really made for a dignified service. The drinks reception was also excellent and just the right balance between fun and ambiance music. As for the ceili and trad and folk ballads and popular music at night it was fantastic as was the professional dj afterwards. And great value for money!!! Can't thank you enough guys.

I saw you many years ago at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri, and I fell in love with Irish music that day. It is still one of my favorite performances by any band ever, anywhere.  Do you remember the name of the girl that was your lead singer at the time.  Does she still sing?  I loved her voice and I would love to be able to hear it again and also the rest of the band. Do you have a new cd you could sell me?

Dublin City Folk band provided great music for our Church service, drinks reception and main function all at a great price. They also provided a super professional DJ who played until the very end of the night at no extra charge. For our Church service they provided a marvellous selection of classical traditional music from O Carolan to Planxty and Liam o Flynn and used a wide range of traditional instruments. Our guests were enthralled at the drinks reception by their brilliant playing. At night there was a fantastic ceili with great dancers demonstrating and envolving our guests as well as great trad music and singing. Really cannot recommend them highly enough. They came well recommended and they did not disappoint.

Dublin City Folk played at our wedding ceremony and ceilidh in June. Organisationally the process was flawless - Clem responded to emails promptly and was more than flexible in coping with the usual and often unusual wedding complications.  Musically the band was brilliant - the music for the ceremony was beautiful and the ceilidh was wild as was the dancing that went with it. All the musicians were so helpful on the day itself such as thinking about playing outside in the gardens for the drinks reception when it became apparent that we were going to have a gloriously hot day. I'd thoroughly recommend Dublin City Folk - they made a fantastic day even more memorable for us. Julie Mortimer (nee Murphy), Marketing Director for Mills & Reeve LL

Hi Clement, Just wanted to say thanks very much again for a great night at our wedding in Finnstown house on 14th September. Everyone really enjoyed the night. There was a great mixture of music which appealed to our wide range of guests and I think pretty much everyone was up dancing, even my father, who had sworn he would not dance at a ceilí! Your caller was great at encouraging everyone to take part and we will never forget the hokey-kokey at the end, which the groom said was his favourite bit! Thank you again and best wishes,

We had great fun learning the dances she demonstrated along with a helper. The band also played for our drinks reception and main function and afterwards we had a DJ who was also super and played all the songs we requested. Clem, the singer and organiser was also great and made everything run smoothly. Patrick and Emer. 6/9/09 Alexander Hotel, Merrion Square.

Just a quick note to say thank you for the ceili set you performed for us at our wedding. You got everyone up onto the dance floor from the young children up to Nellies nana who is 90!! We had many comments from guests saying how much they enjoyed the dancing. A lot of the guests were from the UK so it was a great taste of Ireland for them! Thanks again for a wonderful ceili and music.

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.  I have all the rights to all the pictures taken, so as soon as I get them I will forward some to you. 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

Fantastic trad players created a great atmosphere at our drinks reception in the Galway Bay Hotel on Friday 1 June 2007. Just the right ambience. Everyone enjoyed the sound of the traditional instruments played by excellent musicians. And the vocals by Dermot Murphy from the Dublin City Ramblers was also great. Best of all was the value for money! Seamus and Patricia - The Galway Bay Hotel, Salthill.

The Dublin City Folk Band played at our wedding on the 12th of May 2007 in the Westin Hotel, Dublin. They were absolutely super. The entire show was great and their masters of ceremonies -teacher of the dances - got everyone up dancing for a ceili session which everyone enjoyed. Perhaps the best recommendation we could give was that at least two couples at the wedding booked the band for their future weddings. Anne and Lance - The Westin Hotel.

The Dublin City Folk Music Agency provided a fantastic days entertainment in the Adare Manor where we held our wedding on 14th April 2007. This top class show had everyone up dancing and their professional caller of dances did a fantastic job in explaining and calling the jigs and reels and other dances that everyone could do. But best of all was the all-in show with dancers and band and a comedian which was truly a dazzling occasion with so much on offer. Definitely highly recommended. Andrew and Clodagh - Adare Manor.

"City Folk are one of the best bands on the folk-scene for many's a year. I heartily recommend them. You won't get a better band. (Pete St. John - world famous composer: 'The Fields Of Athenry', 'Dublin In The Rare Old Times'.

"It is always great to hear good musicians, and 'The City Folk Trad Band' is one of the best on the music scene. Talented, enthusiastic and creative artistes, bringing the free-flowing message of Irish traditional music and song throughout Europe, the U.S.A and Australia.":
Pete St. John: World famous composer.
