We booked Emerald Thieves Band for our Wedding in May 2019, they were amazing. All our guests commented how good they were but they didn’t need to you could tell how good they were by the amount of people dancing, they played songs to suit all age groups. The band were very talented and they learnt our first dance it was lovely to dance it to live music, they even learnt my favourite song which was a total surprise especially when it’s S Club 7 Reach for the Stars. It was played lots on my hen do so all the girls were all excited when they started playing it, I would highly recommend the band for any function but especially a wedding. Thanks for everything Emerald Thieves! More...

Our wedding night was absolutely banging thanks to the emerald thieves! We’ve had so many comments on how good they were and request of what songs they played etc. They did our first dance by the water boys and it was just phenomenal! Everything we wanted and more. Stuart and I love our music and I worried beforehand that the dance floor wouldn’t be full and it might not be everyone’s cup of tea but it was amazing to see so many people busting their moves and enjoying themselves. Robert and the band were great in the run upto the wedding with requests and responding quickly. We can’t thank them enough for an amazing evening. Tiree and Stuart Holmes x More...

The Emerald Theives wedding band was absolutely amazing, we couldn't have imagined a better night. It completely made our wedding perfect. The dance floor was never empty and they entertained everyone from our 3 year old boy to my 90 year old Grandma whilst still making it feel really personal and fitting to our day. Really hope we get to party with them again some day. More...

What do you love most about your job?
Performing music to a crowded room or festival audience full of smiling faces, people singing along and dancing is one of the best feelings there is.

Many years in the industry provided the knowledge and experience required to offer professional band music services in the right way and at the right price points.
Competition is always steep so I knew I had to do something very different that people couldn't copy... Time and time again, Emerald Thieves has proved to be the correct choice.
Why should our clients choose you?
There are a hundreds of great bands out there but Emerald Thieves are genuinely unique by design. Unlike many soul, pop, rock, indie, folk, country, etc etc bands, we perform an incredible variety of all those styles across the same evening. You will NEVER experience style fatigue with this band. In addition, our Irish angle always gives us that something different too and makes us the perfect choice for Irish/Scottish/Celtic-themed events. We were playing Indie folk music at parties around the UK before Mumford and Sons even became a thing and we can still bring those aspects to your party when required.
