What our past bookers say about our Irish musicians, pipers and dancers
These excerpts from our satisfied clients feedback are 100% genuine and verifiable

“Hi Seán, just to give you some feedback… thank you so much for organising your piper to play at my Dads funeral, it really made it. He was very kind and thoughtful. We invited him to the wake and he played his pipe as an extra, which was really appreciated. He played Carrickfergus beautifully which I know the Irish contingency were really appreciated of. He told us he was going through a similar thing with his Mum so I know it was probably a struggle for him, but he was very professional and kind and compassionate”.
Anthony.
“Hey Sean, Just wanted to say a huge thank you for keeping us all entertained on Saturday night the music was lovely & Back to Castleblayney went down a treat! We all had a fab time & we’ll cherish the memories”. All the best,
Nora.
“Hi Seán just want you to know The Shanachie piper was fantastic, he had us all cheering at the graveside so happy and thanks again he really was a gift. “
Clare.
“Thanks again Sean for the great set for Joy who was surely looking down on this great celebration. Also for the fantastic last song ‘Will you go lassie go’ which was one of the many favourites of Joy and I was singing it in hospital for Joy too. Thanks again and good that the Inn on the Lake have your details as they should have recommendations for wakes etc and we may have another celebration so will contact you again. All the best for the future”.
Paul.
“Hi Seán, I just wanted to say thank you for arranging for the Shanachie piper to play at my father’s funeral. He was truly amazing – checked on all of the details in advance, was there really early liaising with the priest, etc, to make sure timings and plans were all clear and then played beautifully. Thank you again”.
Siobhan.
“Hi Sean, Thank you so much for playing at my mums birthday party especially in such stressful weather conditions you were so flexible and accommodating. You and the songs you sang were amazing.

Really hope we get a future opportunity to have you back again. Thanks again”. Sharon C.

You were so professional from the first point of contact and made life very easy for us when that really mattered. Your performance was exactly what we wanted and set the tone beautifully for the service. All our relatives and friends, many of whom had flown in from Ireland, commented on the beautiful music. We would certainly not hesitate to recommend you”.
Many thanks again and all the best Sean,

“Hi Sean, I knew you and the boys would make the night for us and I was not disappointed. Everyone in attendance enjoyed the range of songs you played and the music the three of you produced. Thanks for letting us sing with you as well. Lots of positive comments being received on social media this morning on how much people enjoyed the evening and you made a big contribution to that. I am hoping some of my golf friends attending will influence the Management Committee to bring in performers like you at the big events we hold during the golfing year. Thanks again Sean. Lovely to meet you and the boys and hear you sing and play. Hopefully we will meet again”.
Best regards.

“Hi Sean, Wow wow wow wow wow! Ever since Saturday, whenever we’ve asked someone what they loved about our wedding, they said ‘the dancers’ – straight away. Thanks so much for arranging that for us, we loved every minute of it and I even joined in with some 3s and 7s!!”
Thanks,
Sinead.
“Thank you so much for organising such an amazing Irish Piper as Daithi for my dad’s funeral last *****day (** December 2016) – and at such short notice! As the cortege entered the grave yard Daithi stood respectfully at the top on the outer parameter waiting for us to approach and then led us along the path down to the grave site while playing. He then played after my father’s internment. It was truly beautiful and everyone said it made the hairs on the back of their neck stand on end it was so symbolically ceremonial and touching. After speaking to Daithi prior to the funeral to arrange which music we’d like, he just sorted everything else himself like an absolute professional. I was worried when I didn’t immediately see him knowing he had traveled so far and that I didn’t even know the route the cortege would take through the graveyard. Daithi had everything under control on the day and knew exactly what he was doing. I can’t thank him enough. I just hope his return journey from Brighouse in West Yorkshire to London wasn’t too arduous in the same day. Thank you both so much for facilitating me the honour to give my father the respectful send off he deserved. I won’t hesitate to recommend your services again”.
Very best wishes.
Debbie.

“Dear Sean,
I must write and thank you so much for the wonderful piper Mr Daithi Brooks.
He moved all us emotionally at my dear sister’s funeral on Saturday 27th October with his beautiful playing.
I regret that I was unable to thank him personally, but please convey my sincere gratefulness for his service.
Everybody loved it. If my sister’s spirit was watching us that day she would have been a very happy soul.
Mr Brooks looked so smart In his traditional kilt and dress and made us all feel so happy. I was so proud of the Irish blood in me!
I wish you all the best with your wonderful service”.

I will be highly recommending the performance and passing on your contact details to a few colleagues from Brunel, if that is ok with you?.

So thank you again Sean from every one in the O’****** party”.

Just had to email you today to let you know what an amazing night we all had last night.
Pete and the rest of the lads were fantastic! One of the best Irish bands I have heard this side of the pond.
Pete took the time to speak to myself and Mick in the interval and turned out they knew the same people in Brum, small world lol.
Thank you once again and thank you Donegal Express!”

We will definitely recommend them and your site to any brides to be that are looking for a band!”

I just wanted to say thank you for organising the DJ for our party on Saturday. He was great, he played everything that we asked him too and had a great selection of music and was happy to oblige to our requests of ‘turn it up’, ‘turn it down’, ‘Dad wants to sing a song so stop the music’, ‘can we have more waltzes’, ‘more jives’, ‘let’s have a break from the Irish music’ and he accommodated all our requests willingly and still said at the end of the night what a lovely family we are! So thank you”.
Kind regards,

I just wanted to say a really Big Thank you for you and Dave performing at Dad’s Wake.

Then you both playing was really fantastic and really great music to listen to and sing to.
Dad would have really enjoyed it too! Absolutely great!
Once again Big Thank you and will definitely stay in touch and use you again”.
Kindest regards,
Angela.

I would like to thank you and your fellow musicians for the great send off that you gave to my father, the comments that I have received have all been how great the music was and how much my father would have approved and to see my mother happy at the end of a sad day for us all is a testament to you and your band.
I will always remember that day and if I am ever asked do I know of a good Irish band I will have no hesitation to mention you.
Once again on behalf of my family I thank you and wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year”.
Many Thanks,

I wanted to thank you and your band for making my 40th party a fantastic bash! The guys were brilliant and everyone had a really good time.
I thought I’d also let you know that my grandfather, who passed away many years ago, was a big fan of your Mrs Thatcher song.
It brought back fond memories to me when I found out that it was you that performed it.
Thanks again, and pass on my regards and compliments to The band”.
Yours sincerely,

“Greetings From The Land Down Under!
I have just received my three CD pack ordered from your website – thank you! I was a cruise tourist Finland/Stockholm and heard you and your band. It was a memorable evening.
You sang two Eric Bogle songs ‘on request’ which I thought was pretty amazing.
Anyway, it made a homesick Australian very happy and I thank you for your powerful performance that evening. Have you toured in Australia?
If you have, I’m sorry we missed you; if not when then? Keep singing!”
Best regards, and best wishes.

Thank you very very much for a fantastic set. I really enjoyed myself and so did my friends and family. Unfortunately some of them just won’t dance whatever the situation however they all loved listening to you.
I hope you didn’t mind my dad staying on the mike for so long, he is terrible at getting off the stage! It was lovely all the same to have him sing at my wedding.
We sorted the speakers out as well so all and all a great day.
Once again thanks a million and hopefully we’ll meet again one day soon”.
Take care,
Regards,
Louise & R.

Once again a big thank you from all the family for making the day a true celebration”.
Kind Regards,
Leo P.
“Dear Sean,
We refer to the recent event held at ****** ****** and Social Club and our subsequent telephone conversation.
As requested we write to affirm our complete satisfaction with the service provided by the Sean Brady Duo.
The mix of Irish Music and Song was well chosen and seamless.
The performance was unbelievably professional and many of the attendees also enjoyed the somewhat dry humour and joshing remarks made in-between dances, most especially “John Travolta & Olivia Newton John”.
More quips and sarcastic remarks would have gone down well but all in all this was a faultless performance by two very professional gentlemen.
We would most certainly hire their services at any forthcoming functions that our Company might arrange, either privately or on a Company basis”.
Regards,
Vicky L. Financial Director.
“Hi Sean
Thanks so much for the fantastic performances, I overheard a few members talking about it the next day and you received rave reviews”.
Kind Regards,
Kirsty M.
Social Events Co-ordinator.
“Sean – all my family and I would like you to know and for you to pass on to the band that they were fantastic at my mother’s wake yesterday – they made it the perfect send off for her for her family and friends all of whom have been steeped in the traditional music and the ballads and songs of Ireland – can’t praise them enough – they made the day – thanks, and thanks again”.
Stephen.
