Feed the Ducks provided music for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. They arrived on time, and were very easy to work with. They even learned a new song for our walk down the aisle. We would highly recommend.

March 18, 2025Great party and great music!
Feed the Ducks did an amazing job providing the music for our father's 93rd birthday party. They arrived early to set up and were very professional. The Celtic music was great and they mixed in stories about the songs that added to the enjoyment. Everyone had a wonderful time!

December 10, 2024Feed the Ducks Captivate a Full House at Celtic Pub Night
The SHED Brewery in Dundas was alive with energy on November 3, 2024, as a packed crowd gathered for a memorable Celtic Pub Night presented by the Dundas Pipes & Drums. The evening's entertainment included a remarkable performance by the talented Celtic duo Feed the Ducks. Devon and Becky delivered a night of music that had the audience clapping, swaying, and cheering for more.
Devon showcased his musical prowess on both the fiddle and whistle, weaving intricate melodies that ranged from playful and lively to hauntingly beautiful. His fiddle playing was particularly dazzling during the reels and jigs, where the notes seemed to leap and dance with an irresistible energy.
Becky provided the perfect foundation on the guitar, her playing both steady and expressive. Her rhythms grounded the faster tunes with driving precision while adding warmth to the slower, more reflective pieces. Together, Devon and Becky demonstrated an effortless synergy, their instruments blending seamlessly to create a rich and dynamic sound.
Our Celtic Pub Night was an undeniable success, thanks in large part to the exceptional talents of Feed the Ducks. We will likely invite them back to play with the Dundas Pipes & Drums in the future, as Devon and Becky’s performance was technically brilliant and deeply emotive, leaving the crowd eager for more. If you haven’t yet had the chance to see this duo live, make it a priority—they’re a true gem in the world of Celtic music.
