The lads played my Wedding on Friday the 2nd March the day Ireland got the big storm. The lads went above and beyond to make sure that they made it down to my wedding. They had the dance floor full from start to finish and every song made you want to dance. Everybody commented on how great they were and they are also a pleasure to deal with. Highly highly recommend them
