Hi to you all,

Just want to say a huge thank you for being so amazing at our wedding on Saturday 25th! You were brilliant! Everyone commented on you, everyone! Also to apologise for not getting off the stage when you asked me to, I got a little carried away, I am dreading the video footage.... Once again thank you so much and as well as being a brilliant band you're all such lovely people. We fully intend to come and see you play somewhere again sometime.

Love from Laura and Joe xxxx

Hi James,

Just want to say thank you very much for the fantastic music you played the night of our wedding. ACDC/You Shook me all night long was unreal and I recall the guests shouting for more when you finished. Hope to get to see you playing in Galway over the summer.

All the best and thanks again Orla & Cathal O’Neill

Hi James and all the Kif crew,

We're finally getting around to sending a proper thanks to you for the mega job you did on our big day December 11th 2010 at Harvey's Point Hotel, Donegal. We knew from the testimonials what to expect but in all honesty it was only on the day that we really understood what all the other couples were talking about. The music performances were top notch and well, to put it simply I never imagined that so many people would remark on the quality of music at our reception. There was a real party atmosphere, these guy were so relaxed and that filtered down onto the dancefloor. We had a big spread of ages like most weddings but Kif could cater for everyone. On top of all of this they are just a nice bunch of lads who have a great dynamic on stage. Lastly I would like to add that the weather was pretty bad with ice and snow last year - as if we could forget! Kif managed to get to the reception well before time which we're sure wasn't easy. Many many thanks for everything again guys, hope to enjoy your performance at other weddings in the near future!

Hi Guys,

Sorry for delay in contacting you to extend our sincere thanks for your amazing performance at our wedding. The band kept the dance floor full by playing to all the different music tastes of our guests. Everyone was singing your praises to us after the wedding and asking about you. Thanks for always getting the crowd involved and the witty comments! You all did an amazing job and even the bride had to take the shoes off early to keep up with the dancing! You all were so professional and approachable, thanks so much for making our wedding reception one we will never forget. You are highly recommended by us.

Kind Regards,

Rosemary and Darren 23 October 2010 Wedding

Hi James and all the lads,

We're finally getting around to emailing you to say thank you for such a wonderful night of music and dancing on our wedding night. Ye were incredible and the talk of the town afterwards! Seriously, everyone was asking who ye were and commenting on the music! Ye played a perfect mix of tunes for both young and not so young and the dance floor was packed all night!! It really made the night special for us and all our guests, so thank you so much again! By the way, your version of Sweet Disposition was unreal - every time we hear it we will think of that amazing night!!

Once again, a massive thanks to you all

Sharon and Fintan McKiernan

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to say a BIG thank you for playing at our wedding. We had so much fun dancing the night away and the dance floor was full all night, the dj set was brilliant too! Was wonderful to hear Michael sing that song again, so nice for you to let family get up for a song.

Thanks again

Kieran and I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and the other members of the band. We had an amazing night and everyone said it was the best wedding they were at in years and I attribute that to you.

Every good wish.

James,

Words fail me to describe the day we had, it was unreal and kif played a massive role in it. You were fantastic. Bohemian rhapsody....what a brilliant version. Right band, right crowd, it was perfect. I would wager you will get manys the phone-call in the future from some of our mates as they all agreed you were top class. I have already had to send on your details to a few friends. The hotel manager even asked for your details as she thought ye were fab and reckoned she might be recommending you to a few engaged couples.

On behalf of myself and Pamela, thanks a million. --

Regards, Adrian

Hi James,

Sorry for not emailing you sooner but Jill and I would like to thank you and lads for a great night in Lisloughrey Lodge. Fairplay to ye for pulling off our first dance L.O.V.E. From the first dance to last everyone was up on the floor and loving it. Everyone was talking to us afterwards about how great KIF are as a band and loved the set list.

Thanks again Dave

Hi James,

Sorry I meant to write to you ages ago. We would just like to say thank you so much for the brilliant performance at our wedding on 5th February. Everyone was complimenting the band (young and old) and the floor was full all night, it was definitely rocking!! We had such a ball.

Thanks again,

Marie & David

Dear James,

We just want to say a huge thank you to the band for giving us a great performance on the day of our wedding on the 7th November! We really, appreciated it. I don't think I left the floor myself but was never alone up there, it was just fantastic! Also your version of In My Life was the best we had ever heard (yes better than the Beatles!) and we will always remember our wedding day when we hear it now! Thanks again for helping make the day so special All the best,

Margaret and Paul, Castledargan November 7th 2009

Hi James and Everyone in KIF,

I can't recommend you guys enough. The energy on the dancefloor was just electric from the first song to the last. All our friends from Ireland and America have literally told us " that band was seriously the best wedding band ever".

Hope to see you play again soon,

Hi James, all the guys in the band

We would like to thank you for an amazing performance on our wedding night. The dance floor was full for the whole evening, im sure the floor boards will never be the same again in the Westwood!!

We loved all your cover versions, especially ‘Galway girl’, ‘Journey’, ACDC ‘Thunder’, the place was going mental.. everyone had sore feet for a few weeks, but said it was worth it because the music was so fantastic.

We are looking forward to going to your gigs in the future, to rekindle the fond memories.

Once again, thank you for making our night so special. Christine and Ken's wedding, 9th May 2009

Christine and Ken

Hi James,

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to yourself and the guys. The night was fantastic and we received so many compliments about you. Everyone had a blast which was very evident from the dancefloor the entire night!

Best wishes,

Nicola & Paul

Hi,

I just want to thank you and the rest of the lads for playing at our wedding in Finnstown House (Dec 6th 2008). Everyone loved the music. Vinnie and I couldn't believe how great our first dance sounded (A Rainy Night In Soho).

It was brilliant. And your version of Human by The Killers was amazing. My brother thought it was the cd!!! You are definitely the best wedding/pub band I have ever heard, my only regret is that we live in Dublin and not Galway because we dont get to see you that much.

We and our guests have already started recommending you to couples we know. Thanks again

Dérerca

Hi James,

i just wanted to saw a huge thank you for playing at our wedding on the 1st of November! Ye did a fantastic job of our first dance and the whole night was just brilliant! All my friends were delighted when you played ACDC ( in case you didn't happen to notice on the night!) and your version of Jamiroquai was unreal.

Again just a huge thank you, you set the tone for the night and kept everyone dancing for the entire night! Everyone thought you were great and you deserve every bit of praise you recieved on your webpage.

Cheers again guys,

Siobhan and Tom

Hi James & Band,

We would like to thank you and the band for your exceptional performance at our wedding in the Westwood on 22nd Aug 2008. You did a fantastic job of the first dance song 'I don't wanna miss a thing' by Aerosmith. People actually thought it was a CD as the version was just that good. I hope the voice was ok after it!

Everyone is still raving about the wedding and that ye were the best wedding band ever and I said 'I know, I told you they were good'. They are even plugging here at work to get ye for our Xmas Party. The floor was full the whole night we just couldnt believe it was over so fast. I'm sure we'll be seeing ye guys again no doubt.

Shirley & Declan's Wedding, Westwood House Hotel, 22nd Aug 2008

Hi James,

I would just like to thank you for playing fantastic music the night of our wedding and for making such a good job of our first dance, You and Me. I got great comments from lots of my guests such as "the best wedding band ever". It was brilliant to see a full dance floor for the whole time you played, you certainly added to a perfect day!
Thanks again,

Pauline & Thomas

Hi James,

I am only getting round to emailing you now James. I just wanted to send you all a quick email to say thank you all so, so much for doing such a fantastic job at our wedding in Darver Castle 29th May. I knew I could depend on you all seen as you all did a great job at Sheila & Barry’s wedding last year. Your choice of music was fantastic and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed you especially seen as the majority of them were all from Galway!!

Thanks again guys for making our wedding day so special..you guys rock!!

Claire & Gary

Hiya James,

Just a quick mail to thank you all for the fantastic job ye did at our wedding in Dromoland Castle on July 4th last. We had a fantastic time, I danced my feet off all night and so did all our guests even the ones that ‘don’t dance’, young and old! Everyone commented on how great the music was and how much fun ye all were, ye made our night and thank you. My dad is wondering if you have any openings in the band, especially for the ‘sweet caroline’ set? Give him a call any time! J

I have passed your details onto a few perspective brides so hopefully they will send some business your way.
Thanks again for everything!

Hazel & Joe Noone

Hi James

I'd just like to thank you and the band for your outstanding performance at our wedding. We knew you would be good but from start to finish you were absolutely fantastic. You made an amazing job of the first dance song 'Rainy Night in Soho'. And, well after that ye got the crowd on the floor and I think its fair to say they never left. We had people tell us afterwards that it was the best / most lively wedding they were ever at. And that ye were the best wedding band they had ever heard. As you can imagine we were delighted to hear such praise!!

The only down side is that my brother Shaun (who ye accompanied / prompted when he sang 'Love is in the Air') now believes he may have a future in the entertainment industry!!!

Seriously we are so delighted with your contribution. Thanks so so much and please pass the praise on to the other musicians.

All the best, Elaine & Enda
Atlantic Hotel, 5th July 2008

Hi James

You played at our wedding over two months ago on 31st May in Ennis and I can't believe I'm only getting around to emailing you now!

We just wanted to say thanks to you and the rest of the band for giving us a fantastic evening's entertainment. The floor was full all night and there seemed to be nothing you couldn't play. Your performance of 'Valerie' in particular will always hold a special memory for me because I think the floor was shaking at that point! We had so much feedback about your performance both on the night and since - some of our guests said you were the best band they'd seen at a wedding. We have very special memories from the night and it was the perfect end to a great day.

Many thanks,
Mairead & Darragh (Golden)

Hi,

Now that the dust has settled on our big day, I wanted to thank you all for being so fantastic last Friday night.

We all had a blast, old and young, and I can’t tell you how many people commented on how great the band was.

Thank you again, Jennifer.

James

Sorry for the late reply in thanking all you guys in KIF for giving us such a wonderful and memorable night. WOW WOW WOW. Amazing is all we can say. My darling husband has damaged his right knee from all the dancing he did that night. But he says it was worth it. Our first dance secret garden by Bruce Springsteen you nailed it fair play to ya. Best wedding band ever.

Thanks for letting our wonderful Michael up on stage to join in he couldn’t resist. I’m sure he will repay the compliment any time you’re in Clifden...

Thanks again

Caroline & John

Hi,
Many many many thanks for the entertainment provided by Kif on our wedding day. We had a fantastic time. Brought back plenty of good memories from my years living in Galway. Everyone is raving about the band since. You must have been good as the best man's mother took a turn that night! She was dancing to you right to the end nearly. Thanks also for playing for so long - that really was an added bonus and much appreciated.  I hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did.

I hope everything was ok with the hotel you stayed in and also with setting up in the other hotel where the reception was. I hope the best man sorted everything out with you ok. I hope we didn't cause you too much hassle - Seige of Ennis really is something we disagree on!

Sorry I haven't emailed sooner but its been busy since we got back. If you like cold weather and peace and quiet, I recommend Norway for a break - stunning place in the snow.

Best of luck to you all with everything and we will have no hesitation in recommending KIF for any function.
Many many thanks
Kind Regards

Rosaleen

P.S. If its of interest to you at all, we have a client who owns and runs a recording studio here in Cork. They are 30ish and very down to earth and are very easy to deal with. Only something to think about. I am sure you have all that sorted. Take care

Hi James & Kif
Just wanted to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding. Ye were amazing.
All our guests are still talking about the great range of songs ye sang and our friends were particularly impressed with the scissors sister song!
Thanks a million

Tina & Alan

Hi James and all the Band,
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks again for a fantastic performance at our wedding. We really enjoyed you guys as did all of our guests who never left the dance floor! The music was a great mix for young and old, and our guests were raving about ye all the next day.
We have passed on your number to Noels brother who is getting married next year, so hopefully we will get to enjoy ye again next year.
Thanks very much for making our day so special, ye all have a great talent and I am delighted we got to experience it at our wedding.

James, just wanted to thank you and the lads for a fantastic night on Saturday. Needless to say always a good indicator is how full the floor is and you know yourself it was wedged. You also looked like you guys were enjoying it, which goes along way in pleasing a crowd. I think based on the profession of some of the folks in the crowd, you know yourself we would have heard if they did not approve. You were fab as I knew you would be! Thanks for everything!
