“Hi Seán, I hope you’re well! I just wanted to say a huge thank you for performing at our St Patrick’s Day event last Thursday, everybody has said how much of a wonderful time they had! Your performance was excellent, as was your communication from the moment I enquired. We’d love to have you perform back at our golf club in the future 😊 Yours Ever”, Chelsea S.

“I hired Sean & his band for my mums 70th birthday party. They where absolutely brilliant from start to finish and really got the guests up and dancing. Our only wish , they could have played for longer ! Thank you so much Sean for the brilliant entertainment, would not hesitate to hire you again for any future functions. Best wishes”, Caroline.

“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”. Liam.

“I would like to thank Seán Brady and his Uilleann piper for their brilliant performances at my Mother’s recent funeral and wake. They were both very professional and very respectful in every way and excellent musicians. They helped so much to make the day a memorable one. I cannot thank them enough and would not hesitate to recommend them. Look them up on You Tube, you will not be disappointed. Thank you both so much”. Barbara T.

“They were punctual, friendly, smartly presented and they set up very quickly. They were absolutely top quality and enjoyed by all! Sean asked my dad (the birthday boy) what his favourite songs were and he sang and played them beautifully. He was great at getting all the crowd involved and played a good mix of songs. I can’t thank them enough! We were kept entertained all from start to finish. We will definitely be booking them again in the future. Thank you! ” Rebecca.

“Hello Sean.
I just wanted to thank you & the band for your performance at our party on Saturday, it was everything I had hoped for, Michael had a great evening & everyone remarked on how much they enjoyed the music. Best wishes & thanks again”. Julie.

“Thank you will never be enough for all you have done to make this morning so so special. Please have a safe journey back down south. Huge thanks again, let me know if there is anything I can do (a review or something), it’s not fair if the rest of the world misses out on your talents. I feel so grateful to have found you for this!”. Annie G.

“We booked Sean for a garden party to celebrate my Dad’s 50th birthday, we’re thankful and feel genuinely blessed to have shared this experience with Sean. Prior to the gig Sean reached out to discuss the set, we discussed his repertoire and some specifics in relation to the venue, throughout this conversation it was obvious Sean’s primary aim was to ensure the day was a success. He welcomed our input, showed an interest in our family story/journey as second and third generation Irish folk and made relevant song suggestions. Sean delivered renditions of our favourites by Christy Moore, Luke Kelly, Wolfe Tones, Daniel O’Donnell’s Destination Donegal (to Granny’s delight) and suitably topped up with some Neil Diamond and Van Morrison for good measures! Anyone that spends 10 minutes with Sean will soon understand not only is he a committed entertainer but a passionate member of the Irish Diaspora and learned student of Irish history. We will be inviting Sean back to play for us in the future and we’re keeping a close eye on gigs open to the public too”. Go raibh maith agat mo chara. Kieren M.

 “Hi Sean, thanks for the performance on Wednesday at moms funeral. You did a great set and everyone loved it. The only one problem was we didn’t want you to stop! We carried on for a good while after and had as good time as anyone can at a funeral. Also enjoyed the few conversations we had about our history, parents, etc. Thanks again”, John G.

“Hello Sean and happy Easter to you. Just a short note to say a huge thank you for performing at our mum’s funeral. 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”, Maggie B.

“Our family & friends really enjoyed Sean’s performance. Great mix of music, something for everyone, great voice, great banter to get everyone involved. Booking process was simple, any e-mails I sent were answered straight away, couldn’t have been easier. Highly recommended.” Dee.

“Sean, I’d just like to say a big thank you for your performance at my sisters 50th. Turned up in plenty of time and was set up for a prompt start. 4 x 1 hour sessions, with a huge choice of songs, even allowing guests to sing. You really made it a memorable night and your performance was talked about by everyone the following day. We would highly recommend you for anyone looking for a live artist. Thanks”. Barry M.

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”, Raymond.

“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”. David T.

“Hi Sean, May we first say how pleased we were with you’re performance at my Dads funeral.

All who attended commented on how good you were, we will track you down and come and see you in the future. All the best”, Ken & Mairead.

Many thanks once again”. Linda R****.

“Dear Sean and Band, 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.

“Hello Sean, Thank you very much for Saturday night, we were so impressed and can recommend you highly. Many thanks”, Joanne.

“Dear Sean, We refer to the event held at ****** ****** and Social Club on Friday 2nd May 20** and our subsequent telephone conversation on Tuesday 6th May 20**. 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

“Dear Sean. Thank you very much for last night . A great success. Maybe not what you usually do ! But everyone enjoyed it enormously and there were no problems. Hope to see you at the Piccadilly event in December! Many thanks”, Simon ******.

“They had a great time thank you, your band was great – and thanks for being so flexible with them all wanting to get up and sing! That was quite an interesting experience. I have passed your details on to the team too for future reference”. Many thanks, Charlie.
