"As a long-time Folkpunk, Celtic Punk, Irish Folk Punk fan, I found the line up perfect. It started with the Gavin Carpenter Duo, two men, alone on the big stage. Vocals, guitar and a cajon, that was all to give the audience a taste for the rest of the evening. Personally, I really enjoyed this hour of folk music and I was certainly not alone. The people sang along and clapped along, Gavin Carpenter took the audience to the Emerald Isle musically with his discreet, not at all obtrusive manner and looked very good in his fine suit."

"David played for my wedding at St Michael's Cave Gibraltar in January 2023. His music was absolutely beautiful and contributed enormously to the occasion. I can thoroughly recommend him."

"I just wanted to send you a big THANK YOU for the wonderful job you did at my party on Saturday. I have had so many fabulous comments about you and the band. You did a great job of getting the crowd going and I was surprised to see certain people on the dance floor."

"Una certezza Quasi 10 anni fa suonarono al matrimonio di mia sorella e ci divertimmo moltissimo. Non ho avuto dubbi per sceglierli per il mio matrimonio. Il repertorio è coinvolgente, la musica tecnicamente perfetta e Marco ha una voce fantastica. Abbiamo inoltre chiesto dopo il concerto anche il dj set di un paio d'ore e il risultato è stato esplosivo. Abbiamo cercato di iniziare il prima possibile con la festa e grazie ai Self siamo riusciti a coinvolgere quasi tutti, dico solo che si sono scatenate anche persone che alle feste non ballano mai! Consigliatissimi!"

"Just wow. They sound so authentic, and their uptempo groove is so refreshing for the style they play"

"Made in Ireland" is the name of the festival, but it only features one real Irishman. Gavin Carpenter travels directly from Dublin to Neu-Ulm. Squeezed into his tour schedule between two gigs in Dublin's Temple Bar pub district. His motto in Neu-Ulm as well: "No Fillers, only Killers." With a best-of-Irish folk, from traditional hits like "Back Home in Derry" to hits by the Pogues, Carpenter goes from zero to 100. Remarkably, the Johnny Cash look-alike would also pass for a double of the "Man in Black" vocally with his covers. "

"No Funny Stuff the perfect musical group. Adaptable to every type of event. I have called them for Christmas Parties, Classy Corporate Events, Weddings big and small, Street Festivals and Clubs. I even had them play my personal birthday party. They are very unique and the strange and crazy instruments they build and the huge sound they create, always gets the audience involved and on their feet. As a promoter they come through and my clients praise me every time. "

"The Hoedown Band were quite simply awesome!! We had a triple 50th Birthday at the local hall ... We had 146 people who all had the best night ever so they say, thanks in no small part to Dawn and the band. The musicianship was excellent and Dawn’s calls were clear and easy to follow and she was roving around and leading each group until we got it and went full steam ahead with the band ripping into it. I cannot recommend this band enough. They exceeded our expectations and once again made our party what it was. Thank you guys and girls!"

"We hired the Hoedown Band for our Xmas party and they were fantastic. They were very professional, neatly presented and they sounded great on the night. We were a small crowd but their lead singer [caller] Dawn was very interactive and educational with her dance moves. The band knew their instruments and songs very well and I would certainly recommend them."

"Band super!!!! Cercavamo una band che creasse un'atmosfera, vintage, energica, divertente ma nello stesso tempo raffinata. I ragazzi sono da subito stati disponibilissimi e trasparenti su quello che la loro band ci avrebbe offerto: ogni promessa è stata mantenuta e le aspettative superate. La band propone un repertorio vintage ma anche moderno. Hanno un sound che spacca e l'atmosfera si scalda subito. Scegliendoli non animerete soltanto il vostro matrimonio, ma regalerete ai vostri ospiti un vero e proprio concerto! Due fiati, chitarra, basso e batteria, cosa chiedere di più! La simpatia ovviamente: i selfportrait sono uno spasso, con un'ironia veramente eccezionale! L'unico rammarico al nostro matrimonio è che saremmo andati avanti a sentirli suonare per ore, e invece il tempo è stato tiranno. Hanno fatto ballare tutti, compresa gente che di solito non muove un passo. Si sono prestati con simpatia alle sorprese preparate dai nostri ospiti e hanno saputo fare fronte a una serata complicata da ritardi e cambi di programma repentini dovuti al mal tempo. Ogni momento animato da loro dall'aperitivo al dopocena è stato fantastico. E anche la playlist passata in sottofondo durante la cena era azzeccatissima. Grazie davvero ragazzi. Senza di voi non sarebbe stato lo stesso."
