Reviews:

“You can’t understand the talent and hard work that has gone into creating a group like Seventh Town without seeing them live. Their respect for the traditional music they perform really comes through then. As does their uncompromising musicianship, creative approach and flair for showmanship. It’s clear they love what they do - and it’s so much fun to watch.”
- Randy Stewart, Shelter Valley Concert Series

"When I hired Seventh Town to play during the Patio & Pints reception of our 9&DINE for St. Patrick’s Home, I envisioned how live Celtic/folk music would create a warm, lively, social atmosphere for our guests. Seventh Town more than delivered on my vision. They played for 2 ½ hours straight, with smiles on their faces and a clear love of music and performance. I’ve received so much positive feedback about the band, the vibe and the overall guest experience. We can’t wait for next year!"

"Seventh Town gave a wonderful performance at my daughter's wedding. Their vocals were beautifully harmonized and clear. Having the stand up bass accompany the lively fiddle, guitar and penny whistle was exactly the Celtic sound we were hoping for. Our guests were very impressed with the quality and choice of music.

I was also appreciative of how accommodating they were with the timing of events and rain delays etc. I would thoroughly recommend Seventh Town to anyone looking for the Celtic sound."

"Seventh Town played at my wedding in August and they were absolutely fantastic! A true Celtic dream. I couldn't have asked for better music to be played, they were so accommodating when we asked for a family friend to sing the first dance and they even backed him up too and added extra Celtic flair. Thank you for making my special day so lively and fun, my family and friends couldn't get enough of the authentic Celtic vibe!"
