What a fantastic night with The Moonshiners they are a fantastic band and are one of my favourites. I just love the atmosphere there is every time they play at the Opry. The place was very busy, and the floor was packed all night with a lot of new visitors and several party’s.
Excellent sound from The Moonshiners and a good choice of music to suit all. Banjo is my favourite Gary, so look forward to hearing more!!

They were best wedding band I’ve been to so far xxx
Nice to see a live band putting so much effort into their music…It created a great evening. Really enjoyed the evening. Well done.
Fantastic Night, Best in a long time. Dance floor busy all night long.
The Moonshiners played at our wedding two years ago and were absolutely fantastic. They really made our day so special, and our guests have told us that it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to and still talk about it two years on! That was mainly down to Deep River, keeping everyone happy and on the dance floor.
Thanks again to you all and good luck in the future! You all deserve the recognition for being a fantastic band, couldn’t recommend them more.
An absolutely fantastic band can’t recommend these guys high enough!! Best band we have come across in a long long time!! Thank you again for a great night at my parents anniversary party!
Thank you for playing at our wedding! We had an amazing time! You had the dance floor full all night. We have had nothing but compliments from our guests on how amazing you were. Thank you xx
The Moonshiners played our wedding in the Busby Hotel. They made our reception a fantastic night and kept everyone dancing.
Ever since we've had nothing but compliments to be passed on to the band or enquiries from guests for booking information.
Thanks to you all for making such an unforgettable night.
Amazing Band! They had everyone on the dance floor all night. Really made our night even more special. Thanks so much, guys, can’t recommend enough just fantastic.
The Moonshiners played at our daughter's wedding in Loch Lomond and they were amazing! The dance floor full from start to finish everyone raved about them afterwards too. The bonus is they are also lovely people that genuinely want your night to go well, I'd say they go the extra mile to achieve that in every way. We now go see them when we can in other venues especially up at the George Hotel in Inveraray. It's now our annual family Xmas night out! Thanks again The Moonshiners, you're all awesome x
