Just want to say thanks a million for doing a great job the other night at Citywest. As you know, we were determined to have the very best entertainment for our guests and we looked at various Rat Pack style shows both in the UK and Ireland. We are in no doubt that we chose the best and well done on a really super performance.
Keith Duffy, Celebrity.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! To Connor and all the lads, we couldn't have wished for a more brilliant band to play at our wedding! We had a small wedding, and I didn't expect many of our guests to get up and dance, but I couldn't have been more wrong! Connor and his band had everyone from 4 to 84 on the dance floor and all our guests loved their music. Thank you so much for playing that last song! That was a lovely and very memorable surprise to us both. It was a pleasure to deal you Connor. You're a gentleman and totally professional and always only a phone call away. We wish you and The Legends all the best, and we look forward to hearing you soon.

Hi Connor, Just wanted to drop you a note to say Thanks a million for doing a brilliant job at the wedding. We were delighted along with everyone else & had an amazing time. Please pass on our thanks to all the band members! Hope all goes well in the future and you keep busy as you deserve it! Take care & kind regards,
Wedding of Tonya Newell & Jonathan Douglas(Leeds United & Ireland International)

Sorry its taken so long to reply to you but just catching up on things after or honeymoon. What can I say about Connor and the boys? They were fab fab fab. They helped to make the night such a success as the dance floor was full from the very start of the night. Our first dance was really special and I so truly wish we had a recording of Connor's version of our first dance "La vie en rose" on Cd as in my opinion, it is so much better than Louis Armstrong's and Edith Piaf, he should release it as a single. Connor and the band were true professionals and 100% reliable, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were so helpful and approachable both in the lead up to the wedding and on the night. So many of my friends were raving about how good they were and I've no doubt they'll be looking for their contact details very soon!
Thanks again for everything.
Best wishes

Married life is going brilliant so far. Just to say the band were brilliant, outweighing our expectations which were already high. I had a few comments from people before the wedding that maybe everyone wouldn't dance to a swing band, but on the night it was the best decision ever (as people kept telling me). Everyone danced, the old ones loved music they could dance to, the teenagers had more of a blast than anyone. Daddys dancing with daughters and the likes... the things that I remembered from weddings years ago, and that really made happy memories for me. My mother said the look of the big base on stage gave class and was enough to keep her happy. We have gotten so many complements on the band, how classy they were, and people looking for your no. for others weddings that they know.

Just wanted to drop you a little note to thank you and the other band members for providing our company with a wonderful night's entertainment for our annual ball. It was imperative that the entertainment we chose was both professional but also highly entertaining as we have more than a few discerning clients who expect nothing but the best as you no doubt found on the night! Thank you for everything, you were a pleasure to work with and I will be in touch again for next year’s event.

It has been my pleasure to work with Connor on seven concerts in recent months including events at the National Concert Hall and the Helix. These projects involved a mix of repertoire performed with RTE Concert Orchestra. He achieved fantastic audience reaction and a warm appreciation from fellow soloists and orchestra alike. From a musical director's point of view, Connor arrived to rehearsal well prepared and eager to achieve the highest standards. In a profession sometimes obsessed by 'overnight success', here is a guy who has served his apprenticeship and still wants to go on learning in order to reach his full potential. I am sure he is there already.
Gareth Hudson, Conductor, RTE Concert Orchestra.

Hi Connor, back to reality ....1st day in office .. The joys ! Anyways to confirm it was a total success, people were astounded by your talent and all were enquiring as to where we got you from, also looks like you'll have a few of us at the National Concert Hall - all in all, you exceeded expectations and was a total pleasure - Everyone danced the night away and you are wholly responsible for the numerous 'sore feet' the following day :) !
Looking forward to hearing you at the next event. Many Thanks for everything!

Just wanted to drop you a mail to say thanks for you and your bands great performance at our wedding. Both myself and Ger couldn't have been happier that we chose you. Everybody totally enjoyed the music and were all commenting on what a great band you were and that they really enjoyed the music and performance. I don't think the dance floor was empty all night. A number of our friends getting married soon were asking for your details for their own weddings so hopefully we'll have the pleasure of hearing you again soon! Thanks for a great night
Michelle & Ger Dooley, Brooklodge.

I'm getting round to sending thank yous and testimonials [for those who wanted them] at the moment, so your mail couldn't have come at a better time!!

We were absolutely thrilled with Connor and the band!!!! and not only can WE not praise them enough, but neither can our guests!!! Right from our first dance [which they kindly facilitated us by doing the song AND arrangement that we wanted] to the final chords; they played a storm.

From our first dealings with Connor to hear the band initially, to them playing their final songs at our wedding; it was a pleasure dealing with him [and, of course, Lorna!!!]. Thank you Lorna, for organising extra Brass at that last minute when we decided to do this - we were definitely happy with our decision to go ahead with it.
I have a degree in music and long history of performing music at events too [from weddings, wakes and funerals, as they say!] and I would certainly recommend Connor McKeon and The Legends of Swing, without ANY hesitation. They truly are fine musicians and performers. They were able to gauge the crowd well and had our dance-floor heaving...precisely what we wanted!!!

Lorna, please fell free to use the above as a testimonial, if you wish. Otherwise, please pass on our thanks again to Connor & the guys in the band - we were thrilled with it all.

Hello Lorna
We had the most amazing day and alot of this was down to the Band. They were just superb..
Everyone was raving about them.To me the recipe for a great night is down to good food, plenty of good wine and great music. The music was outstanding. We opted for the DJ through yourselves who was also excellent and very professional. Thank you so much for being a dream to deal with from start to finish, for being on time and for helping make our evening and wedding the best day of our lives.

We wish the band every sccess and look forward to seeing them perform in the national concert hall in July!
Many thanks
