Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on November 15, 2023From Annandale, VA

Truly talented musicians who accommodated our special music requests and worked hard to make sure our event was a success. A number of our guests asked for their cards after they finished playing. We highly recommend!

Community EventReviewed on April 1, 2023From Hope, NJ

Fabulous talented trio! The harmonies among their instruments and vocals were superb. The blended sounds from their instruments made it seem like there were more than just three musicians. What a treat to hear authentic Celtic music. The musicians were very friendly and accommodating to our space and our audience. Hire them, you will not be disappointed.

Such a beautiful sounds trio. Rich Traditional Irish music that really created the perfect vibe for our St. Patrick's Day corporate office celebration. Working out the logistics with Corey was a breeze because of his professionalism and forward-thinking approach to logistics. I will have them back next year, if not sooner. :)

We couldn’t be happier with the performance at our party from Poor Man’s Gambit! Corey and Deidre arrived exactly when they said they would, bought professional equipment that was perfectly suited to the room, and put on a terrific show that had all of our guests complimenting the entertainment all evening long. I couldn't recommend Poor Man’s Gambit more highly and definitely hope they can join us again in the future. Slainte!

WeddingReviewed on November 4, 2022From Lake Lure, NC

They were fantastic..... With everything. Very prompt, kind, professional, and fun band. They made my wedding so much more special. We did ceili dancing and myself, the groom, and the guest loved it. We actually got through 3 dances. We were all very novice to this type of dancing and that showed but it was soooooo much fun. If we do a 5 or 10 year renewal we will have them back for sure. If you're on the fence as to book or not... This is your sign.... Book them!!!!!!

Private PartyReviewed on April 11, 2022From Bethlehem, PA

I would give Poor Man's Gambit a 10, they are not only professional, talented, and possess a sublime musical intellect, they are very kind and considerate. Their traditional irish music played on traditional instruments was so beautiful and authentic. They performed for us at my husband's 30 year anniversary with his company; they were a surprise I had purchased for him. They were very accommodating to my requests, and they made his night. Also, I found that the cost of their performance was very reasonable. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their music and they inspired a relaxed and jovial atmosphere. Thank you Deirdre and Corey for a most wonderful evening.

Poor Man's Gambit were excellent! They were the hit of our marriage brunch. Everyone asked where we found them they were so unique and fun. They were the hit of our party of 70 friends.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on March 22, 2022From Falls Church, VA

I could not express how unbelievably talented Poor Man’s Gambit is. They were flawless from start to finish. So professional, so easy to work with. Their music transported us to Galway and as I made my way though the party crowd, all the guests were commenting on how much they loved the band. They truly filled a bucket list dream for us, to have an amazing live Irish band play at our house. Their music was upbeat, traditional and I had neighbors texting me asking me to have the band keep playing longer! They were phenomenal, I can’t say enough about Poor Mans Gambit. They drove all the way from PA to attend our St Patrick’s Day backyard party in Virginia. Thank you!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on August 1, 2017From Middletown, NJ

Couldn't be happier with Poor Man's Gambit!!! They played for my Dad's 90th Birthday and went out of their way to accommodate requests. They sounded great and I received numerous compliments for choosing them. They graciously dealt with an unforeseen change in weather and stayed passed their scheduled time to complete their promised final set. Highly recommend them! Hope to have them play for Dad's 100th Birthday!!!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on May 23, 2017From Randolph, NJ

Poor Man's Gambit was awesome! They played for the first hour of our wedding reception as guest's arrived and everyone had nothing but great things to say about their performance, as well as enthusiasm. They were so friendly that we invited them to stay, eat, drink and dance with us! Loved everything about working with them - they are super responsive and accommodating. Thank you all again for a great night!

Corporate FunctionReviewed on March 14, 2017From Parsippany, NJ

Poor Man's Gambit performed an incredible show! They showed up a few minutes early to set up, were very respectful and kind, and were extremely talented. Leading up to the day of our event, my main contact, Corey Purcell, the lead, was very attentive to my email questions and requests. He always responded in a timely manner, and continued to be considerate and humble throughout. The group was a perfect addition to our corporate event, and I highly recommend them! We had an Irish Pub Night; however, they would be an exceptional addition to any event.

Saint Patrick's Day PartyReviewed on March 19, 2017From Slatington, PA

The guys were amazing. They carried everything up 3 flights of stairs with no complaints to get to our social hall. Everyone loved the music and they played even longer than the agreed time. Excellent musicians and great people. I highly reccomend them and will be going to see them play again.
