Shenanigans Irish Music Duo

The duo were very easy to deal with answering emails very promptly. At the event they were great playing all the Irish traditional songs along with some more recent ones. They played any requests we asked for on the night and were very easy going and amenable.Ths event was my father's memorial in a small intimate venue and they were the perfect choice as they played while people were talking yet added a warm ambience to the proceedings People gave me feedback that they were a great find.
Thanks to them both for adding something special to our evening.

The Shenanigans were excellent! They were so helpful and friendly when I was booking and their set was fantastic. They asked for requests and played all our Irish favourites. They were extremely professional and I would highly recommend booking them for your occasion.

We had a Glastonbury-like home garden festival with family and friends. We booked Shenanigans for some live entertainment in the early evening - the description of simple Irish folk music with plenty of audience participation attracted us. They were great from point of contact to their performance. Very talented, good range of Irish folk songs and great audience engagement. Made a great weekend even more enjoyable!

Very good duo, enjoyed by all who attended. The Irish theme was ideal for our At. Patrick's night.

Thank you so much for playing at my grandmas wake, it was really lovely and much appreciated, Laura x

Great band, got every jigging on the dance floor. Would definitely recommend.

The band was very professional and everyone really enjoyed their music. They had everyone up dancing and was happy to take any requests from people. Made the night really enjoyable!

Cant thank you enough, all the guests commented on how great you were. You were perfect for our farm wedding thank you again

Booked the Shenanigans for a 60th Wedding Anniversary celebration. A fantastic duo who gave a great performance and had everyone up dancing. They arrived in plenty of time, and although they were kept waiting as our meal went on longer than we anticipated, they were very understanding. Everyone young and old have commented on how wonderful they were. A fantastic evening and would certainly book them again, just need an excuse to have another party!

Shenanigans were great! They did two 40 minute sets and had music playing in between so there wasn’t any hiccup in the evening. Everyone enjoyed the upbeat tone and we even had some lanky teens attempted Irish dancing. Fabulous addition to the evening.

we at marton institute blackpool. were highly delighted with shenanigans two great musicians and nice guys to boot

"Wow. These guys were absolutely amazing and we will be having them back very soon.
I had asked them to play some Irish music at my uncles wake. We had Irish family over who would tell you how it is and they had an amazing time and we’re raving about these two lovely guys who were very professional and polite to our requests.
I was so surprised in how many songs they new and they kept them coming.
Thank you so much guys you were the best part of our day."

The guys were brilliant, we had them for my Mums surprise party. Couldn’t believe how long they played for , everyone enjoyed their music.

The lads were great on Saturday. Everybody loved the music and it was a perfect back drop for the night. I would fully recommend this band to anyone. Thanks Alan & Steve you helped make a special night memorable.

"Absolutely fantastic. The band were brilliant and my Grandad loved it!

Thank you :)"

The Shenanigans provided the entertainment for my dad’s 88th birthday party. I can’t recommend them highly enough... absolutely fantastic. They made the room come alive created a great atmosphere ... played and sang lots of traditional Irish folk songs but also engaged the audience with stories and background to some of the songs. Definitely would book them again.

Absolutely amazing. Really friendly guys to. Listened to exactly what we wanted. Would definitely book again for a party. Great voice. Thanks so much

"A wonderful night made all the more successful having booked Shenanigans.
Everybody enjoyed the music and mix of song and music. A great duo to entertain
and we were delighted to be able to request our favourites.

Many many thanks"

The Shenanigans are extremely professional, talented musicians and it was very easy to keep in regular contact with the band via e-mail. I would highly recommend this music duo.

I was delighted with this duo for my Wedding celebration ; they turned up on time, they were polite and helpful and sounded great. Everyone attending was impressed with them...great value. Thank you boys! X

"We were very satisfied with the band , they were very obliging and happily fitted in with our schedule
Everyone at the party enjoyed the music"

"Shenanigans played at my fathers wake recently and their music truly was a tribute for a proud Irishman.The music they played was extremely fitting but made what could have been a solemn occasion, a time to smile. Communication from Alan was excellent from the first email and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

As a side note, I was wondering if you could remember which song you were playing as people first came into the venue (I think It had Galway in the words / title). Quite a few people have asked me what it was called but we weren't there a that point.

Thank you for everything,

Regards,"

We are so glad we booked Shenanigans for the gathering after my father’s funeral. My father loved music, and played folk fiddle, so to have live music and fiddle playing really brought warmth and life to the party. The duo were very professional, arrived early to set up, and were ready to play as people arrived. By the end of the party, people were tapping their feet, singing along , with even some spontaneous dancing . Shanigans were happy to accomommadate requests and covered a good range of songs. Thank you again for helping make this event special .

"The guys performed for my father's funeral, The violin playing was jaw dropping beautiful as the coffin came into the church. After they went onto reception to lighten up mood with fantastic folk music and Irish music. really nice guys, super proactive and very reliable.
You won't be disappointed.

Gareth Repton"

"Hiya Leah,
I send a very big thank you to the duo Shenanigans, we all enjoyed the music and they was very polite and sang a lot of songs we knew (sort of). They also stayed an extra half an hour when i asked them to, which kept the crowd going.
I would definately recommend them and would book them again. Once again a great big thank you to Shenanigans.

Kind regards

Bernadette"
