Testimonials
The Lilting Banshees played at our wedding in the spring of 2011. Having heard them at various venues before, we knew they would suit our wedding and the atmosphere we were aiming for. Once the date and venue was set, Nessan confirmed the bands availability and liaised with the venue to organise equipment and suitable location for the band to set up. The band was there with plenty of time to spare. The ease of communications, their active approach in dealing with the venue and their reliability made this perhaps the most simple and least stressful item to organise for the whole wedding. The music was excellent and enjoyed by the entire wedding party; with plenty of guests commenting on the quality of the band. We would definitely use them again for future parties and recommend them to anyone looking for decent music, and a professional service, for their day.
-Ed Wollaston, Hong Kong.
The band gave us exactly what we asked for. The musicians were remarkably talented both vocally and instrumentally and we'd definitely use them again.
-Kings Cross and St Pancras Partnership
It was incredible! Everyone had so much fun and Burning Reels sounded amazing. We'd love to come and hear them again!
-Colin & Rebecca, London.
