Govannen from £600

A belated but heartfelt thanks to Govannen for the superb job they did on our wedding at Catthorpe Manor (1st December 2012).

The band were hugely friendly and put everyone at ease, and their playing was a perfectly judged mix and pieces that got almost everyone involved.  They were very approachable throughout and more than willing to assist us with a couple of on-the-fly requests on the night.

All in all, we were delighted with their performance and have made certain to recommend them (and yourselves) to friends who have asked about entertainers for their own functions.

Just a quick note, to say a big Thank you for organising Govannen for our wedding on 30th June. They were brilliant and we had so many lovely comments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the band and how different they were. They got everyone up dancing within minutes and felt like part of the guestlist which made it really relaxed for us

We had a fabulous day, thanks for helping it go so smoothly.

Just to say thank you again for the music provided by Govannen at our wedding reception: it was just the right mixture of background and ceilidh, and guests of all ages had a great time joining in with the dances - you've even converted the groom to liking ceilidhs, which he was really not keen on before the event...  

Lots of people have said that they particularly enjoyed the band, and at least two different couples have already asked for contact details!

Many thanks,
 

Sally and Alex Livingstone - Wedding - 26 Apr 2012

I just wanted to make contact to say a big THANK YOU for such a lovely evening last night. Without exception everyone was bowled over with your beautiful music – and I really do appreciate the effort you made in such bad weather and hope your journey home was not too traumatic.

It was disappointing that so many people were unable to make at and from messages I received when I got home, quite a few had started their journey but sensibly turned back having had one or two scary skids.

Hope it was not too disappointing playing to such a small audience, but I think you could tell we all really enjoyed ourselves - and perhaps me most of all!

Once again many thanks for a lovely evening and I am sure I will hear you play again before too long.

Kind regards,

Dear David, please would you pass on to Dan and Govannen our thanks for a superb evening last Saturday in The Staging Post. The music was great and the dances were enjoyed, even though at times, we were naughty and didn’t always do as we were told. Maybe it has something to do with us being Independent Opticians !!

Everybody said how good the music and caller was and I think the Cabin added some extra atmosphere. There were a lot of aching legs next day.

Thank you once again.

Maureen & Graeme Coe - Assoc of Independent Opticians - 14 Oct 2011

Just to let you know that Dan and the band were absolutely great last night. Please pass on my huge thanks to them all. Regards, Carolyn

Thank you very much to you all for providing us with an excellent evening of music and dancing in the Trent Building on Wednesday evening 6 April. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and a mark of how much they enjoyed your entertainment was shown by the fact that the majority of our people were still there at the close of the evening. You have a great troupe and we had a great evening, thank you.

Hilary Wilkes - Conference Organiser - 14 Apr 2011

 I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say how pleased we were with the band and caller on Saturday night. We had a good level of participation and there were lots of smiling faces throughout the evening.

Just wanted to say thanks for “Govannen” playing for us on Saturday. They were excellent – went down very well - and what very nice people too !

K Ridgewell - Royal British Legion - 20 Mar 2010

The band were very popular and everyone really enjoyed themselves.

Kerry Haslam - School Food Trust - 10 Sep 2009

Thank you soooooo much for Saturday! It really topped the whole day when you guys came on you were brilliant! And thank you for letting some of our guests join in.... even if some of them weren't too hot on their vocals!!!! ...Thanks again, you really are amazingly talented. Everyone had a great time and you really are brilliant in your manner and your music, so thank you once again!

My daughter booked ‘Govannen’ on our behalf through your agency for our party at Greetham Valley Golf Course. We had an absolutely wonderful evening due in no small part to Govannen who certainly made the party go with a swing.

Mrs Wardhaugh - 25 Mar 2009

Dear David,
Just a note to say a big thank you to Govannen who played at my Mum & Dad's Birthday at Greetham on Saturday night. They had a great night and every one was impressed with the band.

Emma Oglesbee - 25 Mar 2009

Just wanted to say a really huge thank you to you and Govannen for the live music at our party and apologies for being so delayed in passing on our appreciation. It was a fantastic night at the Nevill Arms in Medbourne (1st Sept), everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the band contributed immensely to the atmosphere and fun we all had. Please thank the band for us, they were brilliant in every way. Discreet setting up, flexible in their timing and responsive to the moods and tastes of our guests. I received so many positive comments about the night and most mentioned how impressed they were with the quality of the musicians. There was a splattering of Irish among the guests too, who enjoyed every minute! The band played some great choices of music and certainly got everyone up on the dance floor, which is what I had hoped for (despite our total inability to do proper Irish dancing, we gave it our best shot!!). So thanks again for providing such a great service and great band. I would recommend you and them anytime.
