Testimonials
"Dear John, We wanted to thank you and Joseph much for everything last Weds. The dinner was a huge success in part to your beautiful, unique music and cool vibe. You provided a wonderful atmosphere for our guests to connect & enjoy themselves and for that we thank you.
We didn't get to say a proper goodbye so please take this note as our sincere thanks for creating a wonderful event and working with us so easily within a relatively short time frame."
Vanessa & Dana - Corporate event 2019
"I strongly recommend banjo party and am pleased to write this review. They did many banjo/guitar favourites for my 70th birthday party and also by request some children's songs . They arrived on time and fitted into the party well and I was very pleased I hired them.
They are at their best when left to play their standard repertoire or improvise and let it rip. They did a nice horn pipe faster and faster too.
You will not be disappointed."
