These guys are absolutely fantastic!!! If you want a traditional Irish band for your wedding, book them as soon as you can.

Just had our wedding on 25th September and I couldn’t fault any part of the day. Which was made even better by the band, from our ceremony to the drinks reception and their night set they blew the place away.

So many of our guests came to me to say how beautiful their music was through the ceremony and that they got the party going at the reception. Any song we wanted on our day, there wasn’t a hesitation. Also, they’re great craic as well. Thanks very much folks

These guys were absolutely fantastic at our wedding. They really set the perfect mood with the trad music at the drinks reception and when it was party time, the band gave everything!

Everyone responded on the dance floor with some serious shapes thrown! Along with their DJ the place erupted! If you want an authentic Irish band for your wedding look no further than the Real Shindig!

We chose the Real Shindig for our wedding in September. We loved the mix of traditional Irish music and old favourites that they included in their play list. When new restrictions were brought in Ciarán and Conor came to our rescue and provided us with a scaled down but unreal session.

We can’t imagine the evening without them, dancing or no dancing They are two great fellas and we know the full band would have done an awesome job as well.

They really are the Real Shindig and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Here’s hoping we can have a big session with you in the future!

The Real Shindig played at our wedding on Friday 30 August at Old Court Chapel, Strangford. What a band!!! The music was superb, great entertainment. Our family and friends didn’t stop dancing all night!

From their set playlist to the DJ the music didn’t stop people dancing until the lights went on! Brilliant to deal with, especially planning a wedding from overseas!

Thanks so much Gemma & Conor xx

The Real Shindig are the best musical group I have heard in a long time. They are also very versatile and their music can fit most events.

They played at my daughter’s wedding at Mount Stewart on 20 July 2019 and they made a big impression. I would highly recommend them. We never wanted the music to end and the dance floor never emptied. They also played the music for the ceilidh, played Irish music to fit all tastes and disco music later.

I can’t thank you enough guys. You are a brilliant group and your contribution added to such a memorable occasion. Everyone is still talking about the music and dancing.

The Real Shindig played at our wedding in December 2018 at Tullyglass. We booked them for our drinks reception, band and DJ - they are absolute professionals and totally put our minds at ease as we blindly organised our wedding from Australia.

We wanted a homely wedding and The Real Shindig absolutely delivered - trad music, Maniac, Riverdance - the dance floor was full! They even liaised with our surprise act - Celtic Storm Irish Dancers and ensured their performance went smoothly as well. Ciaran and Conor are just lovely to deal with and I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Thanks again!! Laura and Paddy

We had The Real Shindig play at our wedding reception last week and wow what a band!! Such lovely people with unreal talent! They had everyone on the dance floor from start to finish and sounded absolutely AMAZING!! Rachel, Ciaran, Conor, Aide & Brian we can’t thank you enough! Our guests loved your music and we are so grateful we had your band for our big day!

Many thanks, Danny & Donna

We had The Real Shindig at our wedding at Killeavy Castle, and they were absolutely amazing! From the moment they started playing Irish traditional music during the drinks reception, we knew we were in for a treat. The atmosphere they created was perfect for the setting — the music was so beautiful and really set the tone for the day.

Their live band set was incredible, and the DJ set afterwards kept the dance floor packed all night long. Our guests were blown away by the energy and variety of music, and everyone had a fantastic time dancing the night away.

The band was so easy to work with in the lead-up to the wedding. Communication was seamless, and they were more than happy to take all our song requests, making sure everything was just as we wanted. We also felt the value was fantastic.

If you're looking for a band that can deliver fantastic music and create a memorable party, The Real Shindig is the perfect choice. We can't recommend them enough!
