Feedback
- The band was great. Sensed the crowd. Volume control was perfect for our event. Was able to accompany Celtic dancers. Everything asked of them they did. Their music made our event fantastic. Would highly recommend to anyone. -- Debra H, Santa Ana, CA, 3/17/2006
- They communicated in advance, came out and brought samples of their CDs for me to listen to and develop a song list. They were perfect! If they were available for my next event this New Year's I would hire them in a hot flash! -- Valerie F, Redondo Beach, CA, 12/31/2005
- The band made the wedding! Everyone present loved their music
and more than one of my guests mentioned that they were exceptionally
nice people to speak with as well.
They took the time to learn 2 songs that I had requested when I booked them
and played a wide selection of music for 5 hours with only one break.
We got more than our $ worth. I would recommend Wake the Bard to anyone.
