Katy Beck
I booked a 3 musician line-up plus caller for a Scouts barn dance. They were absolutely fantastic! The instructions were clear which meant everyone got up and danced, I couldn’t fault them. I would highly recommend them if you want a highly professional band and a really fun event. Superb!
Nicky Marrable
We had James and the band for a joint 21st and 50th party. The music was great and the ceilidh was just the cross generation fun we needed. To have all ages on the dance floor from 3 years to 79, with a huge smile on everyone’s faces. Even those who didn’t dance couldn’t help but enjoy the music. I would definitely recommend them.
Barbara Storrie
We had a fantastic ceilidh with the James Kelly band. Ewan, Louisa, Lewis and Patrick did a great job and kept us dancing, if the can call it that! Great. I would certainly recommend.
Laura Manton
James Kerry and his band have played at our Charity Barn dance for the past two years. They are brilliant! Everyone had a thoroughly good time. I would definitely recommend them!
