5 stars - Craic Attack are Highly Recommended
booked Craic Attack for their Wedding

“Craic Attack were an external supplier at our venue and they were the most low maintenance & friendly band I’ve ever dealt with. They also went above and beyond to work with us as a team, as the day was running slightly behind and, to top things off, their sets were amazing! A real crowd pleaser. We loved them so much, so we recommend them when our clients are looking for bands.”

“We had booked this band to play our wedding. I am Irish and living in the UK and married in the UK, I wanted to bring an Irish element to the wedding. They were absolutely brilliant and got the crowd going. We had them play their second set in the cellar club of the venue and it was such an amazing vibe. Everyone was raving about them after. Thank you folks for helping to make our day so special!”

“Patrick and the band arrived and set up quickly and were playing straight away with no fuss or bother. They instantly drew the crowd in with their excellent musical talents and feet were tapping in no time. Be prepared!
