Testimonials:

We just wanted to drop you a line to thank you and the band for providing amazing entertainment at our wedding. We were plagued on the night and ever since with compliments and people looking for your contact details. No one, including us, expected such a high standard of professionalism and entertainment and it really made our day to see the dance floor packed all night. You promised that we would be over the moon and delivered on that promise. Thank you for everything,
"Michelle & Charles O'Reilly, Radisson SAS St. Helens, Dublin"

Just want to say thanks a million for doing a great job the other night at Citywest. As you know, we were determined to have the very best entertainment for our guests and we looked at various Rat Pack style shows both in the UK and Ireland. We are in no doubt that we chose the best and well done on a really super performance.

I can happily say that I was 100% thrilled with the service Connor and his band provided. They arrived bang on time on the night and seemed to be set up within minutes. I'm sure people are afraid that the band arriving and setting up will be a very noticeable "break" in the evening, but I barely even noticed! As you know, our first dance was "Mack the Knife" and the lads absolutely nailed it. After that, I don't think the dancefloor was empty all night. Connor's stage presence is fantastic and his banter with the guests and with the rest of the band was great. I actually had to sneak upstairs at one stage and change into my "wedding runners" because my feet were so sore!

During the band's break, we had all our guests outside to set off sky lanterns. I'm sure we were probably gone a lot longer than the band would normally break for, but if we were, it made no difference whatsoever, because the dancing resumed at full tilt as soon as everyone came back inside. Connor and the lads actually ended up playing for about an hour longer than they were scheduled for, which was very unexpected, but absolutely brilliant!

So many people came up to me that night, the next day, or in the time since the wedding and asked who the band were, and said that they thought they were fantastic, which was great to hear because the music is such a huge part of any wedding.

Connor was the consummate professional, a pleasure to deal with and an extremely friendly person to boot, and I would have no problem whatsoever in recommending him to anyone who is looking for a band. In fact, I just hope I get an excuse to book him again in the future!

Please tell him thanks so much for helping to make our wedding a stand-out success!

Hi Connor, back to reality ....1st day in office .. The joys ! Anyways to confirm it was a total success, people were astounded by your talent and all were enquiring as to where we got you from, also looks like you'll have a few of us at the National Concert Hall - all in all, you exceeded expectations and was a total pleasure - Everyone danced the night away and you are wholly responsible for the numerous 'sore feet' the following day :)!

Looking forward to hearing you at the next event. Many Thanks for everything!
Best Wishes

Hi Guys,

It will come as no surprise to tell you that the band were nothing short
of sensational!
We have been inundated with compliments from our guests, and I
personally thought that the music and atmosphere created by the band was
incredible.

I have only 2 regrets from Friday night..
1. That I wasn't able to duplicate myself and just stand and watch to
'take in' the brilliance of the live performance element of the guys, at
the same time as dancing my socks off,

And 2. Next time I would get one of those 'CAMELBACK water backpack'
things over my dress! I was dying of thirst for most of the night
because I didn't dare leave the dancefloor. I really wished I could have
paused the band so I didn't miss a second of the performance for drink
breaks etc!

I would absolutely not hesitate to recommend the band to anyone in a
flash.
Being a music teacher and wind player myself I have extremely high
expectations of musicians and really it takes a lot to impress me...but
your band did it hands down!

From the beginning of the booking process with Lorna, to the chats with
Conor, right through to the very end of the night with the band, 'the
Legends' have been an absolute pleasure to deal with!

Please thank everyone so much for their efforts, talent and sheer
brilliance!
You offer an outstanding level of service and professionalism, and will
most definitely be hearing from 'Mr & Mrs Bagnall' again!

Love, Jennie & John

Well what can we say only WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! We had such a fantastic night, we were nervous about the first dance but Connor's recommendation had us sailing around the floor; so I think we did pretty well and it was nice to have Amore as it was a song my dad always sang to the kids who I must say had probably the best night dancing around on the floor till the wee hours of the morn :0)

We had such a mix in guests young, old and from all parts of the world and the crowd was up dancing from start to finish (me included :0) a lovely thing to hear from our guests was that they had the most wonderful time sitting back and listening to the band; they were all so delighted that they were able to enjoy it and able to hear each other and chat at the table as this was one concern we had but the truth is Connor and the boys are just true professionals and there was no need for us to worry.

Connor you got the crowd going especially the Dubai Girls they are still talking about it. Thank you for making our wedding stand out in all our guests minds but especially in ours. Our family and friends have said it is The One to remember for all times and that is a truly amazing thing in our eyes. So please pass on our thank yous to all who played that night and for helping to make it a truly special night.

Warmest regards Joanne & Loughlin
