The Balloon Animals

The Balloon Animals were nothing short of electric. They had the dance floor filled for each and every set; every song was a perfect read of the room and the crowd really did go wild for them.
As the bride I didn’t leave the dance floor once - even at sound check I was dancing in my seat at dinner, they learnt a new song for our first dance which was awesome and people loved how unique they were and so clearly incredibly good musicians. The Balloon Animals were totally instrumental in making our day one for the history books. If this is your sort of music, they are the band that will rock your wedding harder than you can imagine. In all the right ways. Thank you!

The Balloon Animals

The band were sensational. Great communication before the big day. They arrived promptly and set up behind the curtains so our guests didn't notice! They then played three amazing sets. They even allowed my partner and I to join them on stage for an impromptu gig. Finally, they ended the night with such a bang that our guests did a conga around the whole building! So so pleased we booked them! What fantastic lads and great musicians! Could not recommend more!

The Balloon Animals

We have finally come down from cloud 9 that was last weekend and we wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and the band for making the evening.

Thank you for travelling all the way up to Yorkshire. We have heard nothing but compliments from everyone. For us the music was such an important part of the evening and you guys did not disappoint, playing all our favourite songs so well. Not only were all our friends on the dance floor but our older family members thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were up there busting their best moves and enjoying themselves.

I know my feet certainly vouched for such a good evening as I didn’t leave the dance floor all evening!

The Balloon Animals

The Balloon Animals recently played at our wedding in Yorkshire and they were the highlight of the evening! For us, the music was such an important part of the day and they did not disappoint. They are all obviously very talented musicians. They played all our favourite songs and more and kept our guests of all ages dancing all evening including myself the bride who did not leave the dance floor. Thank you and thank you for travelling the distance they did

The Balloon Animals

The Balloon Animals were THE event on Friday night. With the songs they played they got even the older ones, with the way they played they got the younger ones, and with their looks the rest. Literally everyone asked me how I found them.

The Balloon Animals

I wanted to say how much Jo, I and I believe the rest of the party enjoyed your show last night. It was superb and you demonstrated so well your love for the music and to make it such a great evening for us.

Truly my thanks to you, Steve, Pembroke and Sam - such a nice bunch of lads.

The Balloon Animals

Thanks so much! You had the crowd in the palm of your hand. You have had so many compliments, all the guests we're talking about the music the next day. Good luck, I hope we see you playing again soon

The Balloon Animals

Over the two nights we worked with The Balloon Animals when they became part of the Tullamore D.E.W. family. I was incredibly impressed by their professionalism, flexibility, musicianship and their passion for what they do. They delivered two barn storming performances, stayed on longer than they should and even learned a new tune for us, which was outstanding. I would work with them again tomorrow and recommend them to anyone looking for an accomplished band who will rock the house.

The Balloon Animals

The Balloon Animals were amazing! They played mostly covers and often sounded better than the original! Fantastic singing and playing, a really tight group of excellent musicians who really seem to enjoy playing together. Everyone was dancing and woo-ing - couldn't have been better. Thanks guys!

The Balloon Animals

I was very privileged to see The Balloon Animals headline the Camden Town Brewery 'Tank Party', having recently discovered Pembroke Tenneson recently in my home town. They went down A STORM...!! This band seriously ooze talent and good times... Their covers were incredible - lively and powerful with their own twist. The whole crowd were completely enraptured - EVERYONE was singing and smiling...! Simply awesome. A real joy. :) Thanks for a great evening. Looking forward to MORE...!!
