The Cartel

The Cartel were incredible. Chris and the band nailed our first song and kept everyone up dancing all night. Our guests all loved them as well. Cheers guys, thanks for helping to make it such a great night!

I am so glad the cartel were available to play at our wedding. They were the most talented and friendliest group. They went the extra mile and learned a couple of new songs for the first dance and the father daughter dance which was so appreciated. They kept the dance floor packed all night. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Chris and the guys were absolutely incredible. We only gave them a couple of days notice to learn our first dance song and they nailed it. They brought such a great atmosphere to our day and we can't thank them enough for their performance!

The band absolutely blew us away. Start to finish the music was perfect - varied and fun. We cannot thank them enough.

Top quality band who get everyone off their seats and onto the dancefloor. Easy going and all round good guys. Would recommend The Cartel to absolutely everyone requiring some live music!

What a fantastic night. The Cartel were absolutely amazing. We have had lots of messages from our guests at how good the band was.

Ahhh Chris, just finally coming down off of our high from the wedding & honeymoon and back to reality 😩.

We are so appreciative of you for how wonderful you made our wedding night, you are all so talented and everyone is still talking about how good you guys were 😍. You always pull it out the bag and it was nice to hear some classics with some new tunes that we haven’t heard from you as well! The floor was never empty and as usual, it was me at the forefront of it 😂, I had the most amazing time as you could tell. Would have been nice to do a duet 😉 but my voice didn’t recover for a good week after the wedding 😅😂. Think it may have been something to do with ABBA the night before lol. Hopefully you all had as good a time as we did and it means so much to us that you all stayed and spoke to us as well, you exceeded our expectations and we cannot thank you all enough again ❤️.

Can’t wait to see you again in august next year, my husband says he has danced enough at the wedding to do the rest of our lives so I don’t think you will see him 😂 or if you do it won’t be on the dance floor apparently 😂. Thank you again, you are absolute angels 🤍 xx

Also, I think I may prefer you guys’ version of head over boots 😳😂 xxx

Hi Chris! Apologies for not sending a message sooner, we’ve just returned from honeymoon! We honestly cannot thank you and the guys enough - you were fantastic and made our wedding. The night just seemed to fly by & before I knew, it was midnight!. All our friends and family have been raving about how amazing you were and there genuinely aren’t enough words to thank you all enough. If we could do it all over again, you guys would definitely still be our first choice. Thank you so much x

Just wanted to say thanks again to you and the band for playing at our wedding on 25th April. You guys were fantastic and kept the dance floor going all night! All our guests said how brilliant you were and we will definitely be recommending you to anyone looking for a band for their events.Thanks again.

Hey Chris had to message as Friday was INSANE!!!!!!! You guys were unreal, the floor was bouncing all night and everyone loved it. Had so many people saying how great you guys were! Thanks again it was just amazing, I couldn’t have imagined anyone else playing for us ❤️ and thanks again for learning those songs!!! Legend xxx

We booked Chris for our day after wedding party and he was absolutely incredible! From beginning to end, he had the whole room singing and dancing with his brilliant energy. Chris is incredibly talented and we felt so lucky to have him as part of our celebrations. He’s an absolute talent and all round lovely guy - we’ll be asking you back! Thanks so much, the O’Connors.

The Cartel.

Well….what can I say about this incredible band.

I’ve had the upmost pleasure of knowing Chris for many years having first met him at one of his famous gigs at Jinty McGintys. There is no better Wednesday night to be had.

Chris is one of the most genuine people I know and his professionalism and enthusiasm as a musician is second to none and it’s an absolute honour to be able to call this man a friend.

The 29th October was the best day of my life, marrying my best friend and being so lucky to have the Cartel absolutely rocking the place and filling the dance floor from start to finish. I cannot thank them enough. Four gentleman that made our day absolutely perfect.

I encourage anyone that’s having a special event to book The Cartel asap and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Thank you so much guys

Love Blair and Alyson

Ps Chris Suckle is the F’n man 😎

We had the most amazing night!
Thank you for helping to make our day so special and for being so accommodating with
our requests. A great selection of songs that got everyone onto the dance floor all night!

My husband and I got married on the 14.10.23 at Oswald House. We first met Chris
January 2022 and instantly felt at ease with him. We met Chris at a wedding fair and
booked him that same evening!
Chris is such a talented musician but also just such a lovely, happy and friendly person to
be around. And that is so, so important on such a special day. We had lots of
communication to Chris prior to our big day, and he was so helpful with song
recommendations and suggestions on the lead up to our
day.
Chris sang myself and my bridesmaids down the aisle, whilst we were singing the register
and back up the aisle and every second was absolutely amazing.
He learned new songs for us close to the wedding, which we really appreciated. I felt
having live music throughout it the day would set the tone for our wedding day and Chris'
acoustic set did absolutely that! S
Although due to me being over polite and chatting to our hundreds of guests, never spent
as much time on the dance floor as would have liked, it was constantly full which tells you
all you need to know about Chris and his band. His rendition of 'Lover' for our first dance
was the best I've ever heard (and I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan)!
Chris and his team are just absolutely amazing and we are so grateful for you all.
Definitely recommend!
Thank you again,
The Flemings x

We booked The Cartel for our wedding and it was the second best decision we made that
day! & They absolutely wowed our guests playing all different kinds of music and requests
without stopping for a breath, and they kept the dance floor full all night! Unforgettable!
Thanks guys! xxx

Griendly, approachable group with great communication. Excellent artists who perform flawlessly. Chris reinvented one of our fav
songs and we prefer that version!
Wished they could've stayed the whole night! The one piece of advice I'd give is book for
the whole night as this band MAKE the party. Neither of us left the dance floor the entire
set!

The Cartel were the icing on the cake at our wedding and our guests still rave about them!
April '22, end of Covid and ready to rock the house, we took to the floor with a special
request for our first dance which Chris and the boys arranged, learned and played for us
without hesitation. The whole playlist kept our guests on the dance floor all night long
with a fantastic mix of tunes including a brilliant guitar solo during Purple Rain! Prior to
our wedding the band kept in touch regarding dates, times, playlist and other suggestions
to ensure the party went smoothly and was one to remember. The Cartel are the perfect
choice and you and your guests will have a fantastic, memorable time.

Everyone still talks about how amazing you guys were at our wedding in 2018
(Paddy's Day) The Pipers Tryst.
I couldn't have been more delighted with the performance and how lovely you all are!!
Tunes were exactly what we asked for and the only complaint was the party couldn't last
all night.
Thanks for making it an absolutely phenomenal day for us. I would
highly recommend you to everyone looking.
Also special thanks to the guys for helping my family "sing" a version of Perfect Day -
which never went to plan at all as they were all pissed, some of them are no longer with
us and the memories from the video are just so precious.
