Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 21, 2026•From Del Mar, CA
Almost all of our 60 guests took the time to come up and say how great this band performed! Truly an amazing sound and variety of music while charging a fraction of what "bigger bands" do with the same output. Don't hesitate to book these 2 as you won't be disappointed in any way!!!!

Thank you Joe! What a fabulous time we had with you, Elaine, and all your guests!

Delene was easy to work with and very accommodating of our requests. The band really got into our 1920's speakeasy theme and perfectly dressed the part. In addition, they are all excellent musicians and sounded great! I would 100% hire the Hot Pursuit Band again!

Thank you Amanda, for your kind review. Your group was a lot of fun to perform our music for!

Hot Pursuit was amazing! Our residents could not get enough of them! I hired them for our Senior Living Community for St. Patrick’s Day themed Happy Hour, and they came through with our requests fantastically. They do more than just Irish folk music, they are an extremely versatile band. We will be hiring them again for a future event!

Hi Kat! Thank you so much for your very kind and generous review! Can't wait to be with you all again!

The Silver Rose Band provided a wonderful evening of authentic Irish music at our Country Club’s Irish Pub Night. Their lively performance created the perfect festive atmosphere and had everyone tapping their feet and enjoying the spirit of the evening.
The band’s talent and energy were evident from the first song to the last. They played a great mix of traditional Irish tunes and familiar favorites that kept the room engaged and entertained throughout the night. Their music paired perfectly with the event and truly helped bring the celebration to life.

Thank you so very much Theresa! We had a wonderful time performing for you and your club members! We appreciate your very kind review!

The Hot Pursuit - Delene and her husband - were absolutely wonderful at my mom’s celebration of life. They were so gracious, respectful, and easy to work with from start to finish.
They nailed every song we chose — across different genres — and really helped create a meaningful, emotional atmosphere for our guests. Even as a duo, they’re incredibly talented multi-instrumentalists and made the music feel full and dynamic.
They also learned three new songs specifically for our event and performed them beautifully, which meant a lot to our family. Overall just a great experience — talented, kind people, and we’d absolutely hire them again.

Evan, thank you so very much for your kind words. We shared in your meaningful experience of the day in celebration of your mom. Blessings always!

Hot Pursuit was both wonderful to work with & wonderful to dance to. Super responsive, proactive, adaptable, communicative, understanding, warm, accommodating, and professional. Perfect music for the party we threw, seamless toggle to curated DJ playlists during breaks, excellent personality and rapport with our guests and honorees. Hire them hire them hire them!

The seniors were able to sing along to the holiday songs and enjoyed the live music. The dance floor was full the entire evening in addition to people dancing in their seats! I highly recommend this band for any event or occasion!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 24, 2025•From Encinitas, CA
Hot Pursuit Band was a Fabulous Booking and I would recommend them to anyone. Everyone at the part could not stop talking about how fun they were to have. They had people dancing, clapping, and singing along as they led us in Irish jigs and Irish drinking songs together.
I would absolutely recommend them to anyone having a themed party. Our theme was an Irish theme for my grandma turning 89 and although my grandma is very social and loves to talk to everyone she couldn't stop listening to the music and really appreciated having them as a treat.
Before the party they were wonderfully professional and excellent communicators and everything was smooth and easy.

How sweet is that? :) Thank you, Grace! You and your grandma and entire family were so wonderful to play for! Thanks so much for having us play music for you!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on April 3, 2025•From San Diego, CA
We booked Hot Pursuit for a 200-person corporate event, mostly for background music. They were so great and played songs so appropriate for our demographic that at one point an attendee grabbed the mic and started singing along. Thanks for allowing that! Hot Pursuit showed up well in advance of start time, played a variety of instruments (talented!) and added so much to our reception. Highly recommend.

Funeral•Reviewed on March 1, 2025•From Escondido, CA
I can't say enough great things about Hot Pursuit Band! They were very easy to work with from our first conversation. The event was for my Irish Father-in-Law who passed away earlier. Our tribute to him was an Irish wake and Hot Pursuit nailed it! Their song list was perfect. They had those in attendance involved in the songs by clapping and singing along with every song. They'd break occasionally between songs to allow people to get up and share stories about my Father-in-Law... We laughed and cried and danced to the wonderful music they provided! Hot Pursuit Band was a huge part of the success of this event! We highly recommend them!

Awww, thank you so much, Ed and Patty. We felt we got to know him, hearing all the stories. We had a wonderful time performing our Irish music for you all. Sláinte!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 11, 2024•From San Diego, CA
From the very beginning, during my conversaion with Delene she was very professional, up beat and honest during her conversation on the phone. She gave me plenty of information while answering all of my questions. I enjoyed going thru all of the information she had and it did give me a sense of confidence as to what to expect in the way of music that her and Barry conducted at all of their performances. Delene and Barry visited our home and both my wife and I were happy, impressed and confident that their performance was going to be the best! YES, they lived up to all expectations! BRAVO!!

Walt! You and your family and friends were such a pleasure to play our music for! I'm happy you were so pleased! You're awesome—Thanks for the kind review!

Celebration•Reviewed on May 31, 2024•From Temecula, CA
Cahill and Delene were BEYOND exceptional! Not only do I feel like I've known them forever, they were so kind, caring, and INCREDIBLY talented! I cannot wait to have a reason to hire them again. We hired them for my dad's Celebration of Life and they created the perfect set list based on his likes and Cahill sang a very special song for Dad which was the cherry on top. The guests had so much fun dancing and interacting with Cahill and Delene. We did not want them to leave. It was truly a special day and having the ever SO TALENTED Cahill and Delene there to share so many Jazz tunes that brought back so many memories made the day so very special.

Cary, you are a blessing to all! Thank you so much for your very kind review. We feel like we're part of your family. Thank you for welcoming us in!
