A month later and we are still getting compliments on how good the band were for our wedding. Cathal and the band had everybody on the dancefloor from the first song onwards. One of our guests have already gone on to book them for their wedding. They performed beyond our expectations.

The Sixty Five Band recently played at our wedding in Co. Wexford. They were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They are exceptionally gifted musicians and singers and just such a lovely group to deal with. I feel one of the most common worries with a wedding is the dance floor being full but Cathal and the gang had everyone on their feet all night! They have a huge repertoire of songs and even learned our first dance song which was a bit out there! Having the mix of male and female voices was amazing! Thank you so so much for such an entertaining night!

We had Cathal play during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and then the full band during the wedding reception. I don't have enough good things to say about them. From the moment we booked with them, Cathal was responsive. We planned the wedding from America, and he made it so easy and seamless. The day of the wedding, they were exceptional. We knew that we would love them but our guests were blown away. Cathal played non-traditional songs on the acoustic guitar during the ceremony and it was so beautiful. During the dancing, they kept people on the floor ALL NIGHT. They played such a fun mix and it was non stop energy. I highly recommend them!!

Cathal and The Sixty Five Band were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. We found them via an enquiry we submitted to Wedding Band Association and we were so happy to have found them ? we loved their set list and their amazing vocals! The dance floor was packed all night, with the 65 playing music for all ages. I ran into the band as they were setting up and they were the loveliest. Cathal did an amazing rendition of ?The Voyage? acoustic in the courtyard outside at Markree Castle. We had a few American/New York song requests and the band seamlessly slipped them in throughout the night and had me running back to the dance floor! 10/10 would recommend The Sixty Five! We?ll definitely look to attend one of their gigs in Galway or Sligo sometime soon! All the best, Kate & Garry

The Sixty Five played at our wedding reception and I cant speak highly enough of them. They accommodated all of our requests and sounded amazing. All of our guests commented on how amazing they sounded. The dance floor was full all night. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Cathal and the 65 were absolutely amazing and we could not recommend them enough! They read the crowd so well and the dancefloor was packed for the whole night! They were so good you?d think it was a DJ playing, we were blown away by their performance! So easy going, on the night of the wedding I decided last minute to do a father daughter dance and they were so accommodating! 10/10 for Cathal and the 65. If you have a wedding in Galway/the west of Ireland look no further! Young and old alike were raving about them after our wedding!

Cathal and the gang played at our wedding on Dec 30th and it was a absolutely amazing gig. From start to finish they were a pleasure to deal with and did as much as they could for us. Our wedding was such an amazing experience and all our guests loved The 65.
I can?t describe the feeling I had when they played Beeswing into Never Mind The Strangers, absolutely brilliant and one I will never forget. The dance floor was full all night and I can not recommend them enough. Many thanks to all for making our day so special

These guys rock! We recently had the Sixty Five play our wedding and they tore it up! It was a packed dance floor from start to finish! The band even were able to accommodate for a last minute first dance request outside of their typical genre, which they rocked as well! We were beyond delighted with their performance and ourselves and guests are still in recovery from all the dancing! Thanks again for a great day and the tunes! xx

We had The Sixty Five play recently at our wedding and I couldn't recommend them more. Cathal and the band members were absolutely superb and our guests thoroughly enjoyed their fantastic performance!

Importantly the communication from the band was also to a high degree. I was in contact with Cathal several times before the big day to go over the finer details and he was always very quick to respond and easy to approach.

If you are looking for a band to play at any occassion, these are your guys!

Thank you Cathal and The Sixty Five for absolutely rocking our dance floor from the very first song. Jenny nailed our first dance with her stunning vocals. It made it extra special for us. Our vision for the first dance was brought to life to absolute perfection. Our dance floor was heaving all night and many of our guests are still recovering from injuries they picked up from dancing so much on the night!!! Best wedding band out there. You just ooze professionalism with the perfect mix of charisma and charm. And above all you are so talented at what you do and were the cherry on top of our Wedding Day. Can?t put it into words but you guys were just phenomenal! Ger and Suzanne xx

We just wanted to say thank you so much for everything on our day in Tipperary! We can?t even begin to explain how fantastic you were, the church was exactly what we had imagined - I know I will remember walking up the aisle to ?Way to Love? forever, so beautiful!! Having you at the hotel playing outside was the perfect backdrop for the weather and honestly, the amount of our guests who were raving about your voice, music and generally just being a real gent playing requests! You really kept us all entertained ????



God knows what the hell we looked like for our first dance (totally winging it! haha), but what we do know is that as soon as we heard our song play, any nerves left and we had SUCH great craic up there together. All of you are amazing, no requests needed you had the dancefloor full the whole night (obligatory tie headbanging too) and we rarely left it either ? absolutely brilliant band with fab voices! We couldn?t have asked for more, the DJ set was again, epic ? how you stayed going so long I don?t know.

Could not recommend this band enough. They played at my wedding on Friday and everyone is still talking about how amazing they were from start to finish. The dance floor was full the entire time. I got guests saying they had never been at a wedding where EVERYONE was up dancing at all times. It was fantastic! Thank you guys so much for making our day all that more special.

We just had our wedding with the Sixty Five playing for us. They were just incredible! The energy, the song choices, their sound. All of it was perfection. And I don?t think they even took a single break all night ????. They were far more than we thought we could get out of a wedding band. They had everyone dancing all night. They were worth every penny. The DJ service that Cathal did following was also great and kept the dancing going with their seamless transition. Everyone was asking how we found you. Truthfully it was YouTube. But their videos don?t do them justice at all - they were so so so much better live in person. Their rendition of proud mary for us was why we had picked them and they did not disappoint. Prior to the event they were quick to respond by email and professional and made the process so easy to plan from across the Atlantic. They managed to fit in all our song requests despite me sending them later than I should have, and several more that were brought up during the event. We didn?t send much for requests for the band which right before the night started I was briefly a little worried. But I needn?t have been - they did a wonderful job of their set list. We wouldn?t have picked better combination ourselves if we had tried. Best. Night. Ever.

Guys, thanks so much for bringing your energy and amazing voices to our wedding at Cliff at Lyons. Just looking at our pictures paints a thousand words as our guests were on the floor and loving it! We had a great time with The Sixty Five doing their thing and you read the crowd so well, nailing it tune after tune. Lovely to deal with and you look great too ;) Thanks again to Cathal & co!

I cannot praise these guys enough! if you're in the market for a wedding band you will not get better. Firstly, The Sixty Five were incredibly professional to deal with in the lead up to the wedding, no ask was too big or small - they were interested to have our input (But I heard them before and said just do your thing as they're great)

The dance floor was full all night and everyone was raving about the band and 3 weeks later I am still getting great reviews from our guests.

You will not go wrong by letting these guys play at your wedding, book them, sit back and enjoy!

Thanks Cathal & The Sixty Five.

I came across Cathal and the band on a night out with my friend in Lahinch, Co Clare. I think it was Kenny's pub, but all I remember was thinking I have to nab this band for our wedding. Their songs weren't the usual songs you'd hear. They mixed it up with funk, bit of Motown, Reggae and the whole floor was pumping. Everyone at our wedding were saying how good they were. Cannot recommend this band enough. Very professional, great value, friendly and accommodating. Delighted I approached Cathal in Lahinch that night and went with my gut instinct.

This one really stuck out for us, such an amazing couple! And one of our favourite venues.. Thanks Leona

We had Cathal and The Sixty Five at our wedding in September in Doolin. A great mix of songs/genres, talented musicians, something for everyone, and the dance floor was filled. Dealing with the guys before, during and after the wedding was a pleasure, they're great for keeping in touch in the run up to ensure everything is perfect for the big day. A very professional group, I would highly recommend. Thanks again guys. Colm & Olivia

We didnt even have to think about the score we gave The Sixty Five in our review - 5 stars all the way. We didn't know much about them before booking but took a chance after speaking with Cathal. They were a pleasure to work with throughout and we were blown away by how good they were at the wedding. They kept the dancefloor full and everyone commented on how good they were. Another thing we would like to highlight is that we accidentally gave them an extra 50 euro and they came straight back to us to let us know - another example of how genuine these guys are to deal with. We couldn't recommend them highly enough for a wedding anywhere in the country.

Cathal and the band played for our wedding in October. To say they were excellent is an understatement. They were professional, accommodating and are very talented musicians. The dance floor was packed all night and every guest commented how good these guys were. I would highly recommend the band!

We had The Sixty Five play at for our wedding reception and we have nothing but praise for them. The music was a hit from start to finish and the dance floor was full all night! They were so easy to deal with and we wouldn?t hesitate to recommend them. Our guests were raving about them the next day and we couldn?t have been happy with the music.
