Black Velvet Band Irish Duo - Victoria's 50th Birthday Party - November 2025
Black Velvet Band Irish Duo were an absolutely perfect choice for my intimate 50th birthday party.
Every guest loved the music and many said it was the best party they have been to. This was in no small part down to the duo and the wonderful atmosphere they created. I would not hesitate to book them again! It was a really special evening.

Black Velvet Band Irish Duo - 70th Birthday Party - November 2025
The band were really great, perfectly suited for the occasion and everyone commented the same to me on the night and after. I saw some people dancing that I have never seen on a dance floor before!
Really good communication before and no hassle whatsoever on the night. I would definitely book again and would thoroughly recommend

Black Velvet Band Irish Duo – Anniversary Party – April 2025
Very talented musicians, accommodating in choosing the music.
Everyone was impressed and enjoyed the evening. A number of people have asked me who the band was for potential future bookings – I think that speaks for itself. Based on their performance and what people told me after the gig, I’m sure it won’t be their last visit to Malvern!

Black Velvet Band Irish Trio – Cheltenham Gold Cup – March 2025
Absolutely brilliant band – everybody loved them!
We booked the band to play at The Three Lions, Stourport-on-Severn on Gold Cup Day 2025 and didn’t regret the decision. They came in set up and started playing straight away and immediately the dance floor was full. We were turning people away at the door as the pub was full to the brim! They played to the crowd and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves as well.

Black Velvet Band Irish Duo – Christmas Party – December 2024
Black Velvet yet again provided fantastic music at our Christmas party. The duo are so flexible and helpful – this year, as well as Irish favourites, they played quite a few Scottish reels etc for our Highland Themed Party which was perfect. The vibe was also just right and got lots of people up and dancing. It was a key contribution to the overall atmosphere.
Please thank them for me. I highly recommend them!

Black Velvet Band Irish Trio- Lamborne Sports Club - September 2024
The guys were great, everyone had a superb time. We’ll have them back next year as people want the event to be an annual thing. Two people asked me to pass your contact details on as well as they’d like to book them for separate events.
