Review by Paige W.

Private Party•Reviewed on June 14, 2022•From Woodstock, IL

Derek and his band played for our father’s Celebration of Life party. They were perfect! I couldn’t give a higher recommendation!

:

Hi Paige I just saw this review and it made my day. We had a wonderful time too, it was such an honor to be involved in this celebration of life. Your family gave us such a warm welcome. Thanks for keeping the tradition of the "Irish Wake" alive. We loved the speeches at the beginning and the way all the guests stayed until the end of the show to listen, dance and chat. This is a gig In will remember for the rest of my life - for all the best reasons.

We greatly enjoyed having Derek and the Paddygrass out to play for our small gathering. They adapted to the circumstances (it was raining cats and dogs!), and they were perfect for our hoedown! We would definitely recommend this band!

Event•Reviewed on August 1, 2016•From Manitowish Waters, WI

The group made the day. Also at the community concert paddygrass music along with their dancing skills were the talk. The only complaint came from those who regrettably missed the show. I want them back fit two days next year. Fabulous job Derick and the group. See you next year the same weekend.

Thanks Craig. We had a ball and you can count on seeing us again next year!

Community Event•Reviewed on May 27, 2016•From Saukville, WI

Derek and Paddygrass were a fantastic addition to our Frothy Forage microbrew festival! They were festive, fun, and really fit with (and improved!) the atmosphere! Derek was also very easy to communicate and work with prior to the event, making it very easy on our end. I'd highly reccomend Paddygrass for any event or occasion where you're looking for fun, lively music (and musicians!).

Everyone at the Holiday Folk Fair was highly positive about Pdaddygrass and their performance. We also want to have them back next year. A yearly fixture at the Folk Fair would be our choice. Thank you for providing a lively addition to the Holiday Folk Fair.

We had a great time at the fair and would love to perform for you every year. Thanks so much Derek and Paddygrass

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on September 1, 2016•From Sheboygan, WI

We booked Derek and Paddygrass for our wedding ceremony and reception and could not be more pleased with their performance. They learned specific song requests (and executed them flawlessly) and made sure every detail was accounted for. Our guests absolutely loved them, as did the two of us. Would not hesitate to recommend or book again.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 12, 2015•From Milwaukee, WI

Very pleased with our experience! Great music and high level of professionalism. We ended up having Derek and his partner play an extra hour for our wedding because we enjoyed them so much, and received many compliments from family and friends. Would definitely recommend if in the market for an Irish band.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on December 31, 2017•From Milwaukee, WI

Paddygrass was an awesome band to have play at my reception. They were flexible and prepared for some problems we had. Couldn’t have asked for better. Proud to have had them represent my Irish roots.

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on November 5, 2016•From Batavia, IL

Derek and his band played for our rehearsal dinner at my parents house, and they were AMAZING. They were so nice, and awesome performers, and our guests loved the music. It really enhanced the night in such a great way, it was easily one of the best decisions of the wedding to book them for the rehearsal dinner. My parents and aunts and uncles are just waiting for future events to hire them for! Highly, highly recommend for any event, big or small. Would be great in an intimate setting, or for 100+ people. We had about 60 people at the house and it worked out perfectly. Communication and performance were just great, and Derek is awesome.

Derek Byrne and Paddygrass were a fantastic addition to our wedding. They showed up on time and were polite, responsive, and flexible during set-up. Their music was excellent and provided a fantastic addition to our barn wedding. I would highly recommend Derek Byrne and Paddygrass in the future.
