What
others think of Shebeen:
'Very
professional, as note perfect as can be, presented with fun and laughter and
if it’s Ceilidh you’re after – they are the BEST of Breed
(and all so very NICE with it!). I dare you to sit still whilst they are on
stage? They stir the emotions across the boards.'
First Choice Entertainment. (http://www.fcents.co.uk/)
'This
superb 4 piece band will play all the favourite Irish songs & ballads
in their own unique and lively way. They'll also have you up dancing with
the odd reel or two!! If you like good Irish music you'll LOVE this!!'

Wedding
Ideas Magazine
'Shebeen
came back to give us another excellent night and demonstrated again their
ability to get things going. They are a fine example of how good a combination
of effort can be turned into a talent to entertain. It’s a pity that there
are not more club bands like Shebeen.'
