“It was such a great night, thank you so much! Our venue was on the smaller side but so pleased you guys made it work with the smaller drum set etc. Everyone was very impressed with the band and the ratio of free dancing to choreographed line dances was perfect. A very successful surprise birthday hoedown!”

“Country Cool were brilliant. Every part of the process from booking the band, sorting playlists and explaining how the night would run was done effortlessly and made me feel confident that they would look after us and put on a good show.

The night went seamlessly and they performed beyond expectation. The girls had the best night and everyone loved the line dancing/barn dance. The DJ was great - no one noticed him setting up and the transition from band to DJ was perfect. A lovely team to have on the night. Thank you so much for making it a truly successful memorable party.” Read more

Matthew D booked Craic It Up for their wedding in Berkshire • August 2025

“Our request was for an irish musical group willing to lead in the groom's side as part of an indian wedding entrance and then collaborate with an indian dhol drummer. Not your standard gig! Due to this being an unconventional request – we knew that some musicians may not be as open to this idea. But 'Craic It Up' were absolutely open to this culture clash from day 1!

“We had two wonderful ladies playing Irish music and songs at a home 21st birthday party. We had the BEST time thank you, and you guys really made the party. We’ve had such fab compliments from all the youngsters who really enjoyed your tunes - a mixture of trad folk songs and modern - and absolutely loved the couple of Ceilidh dances (even after a few drinks!) which you led so well for us, s...”“We had two wonderful ladies playing Irish music and songs at a home 21st birthday party.

We’ve had such fab compliments from all the youngsters who really enjoyed your tunes - a mixture of trad folk songs and modern - and absolutely loved the couple of Ceilidh dances (even after a few drinks!) which you led so well for us, super fun. Thanks to you both for making it all so special. You really are spot on with your tunes and very talented musicians and singers. I will never understand how you can play three instruments at one time and make it all sound and feel so good. AMAZING and I would recommend for any event, young or old.” Read more
