Trotters Wake

Trotters wake is an Irish folk band. I found them on gig salad but was able to see them play prior to booking. They have a few songs on you tube but that usually doesn’t tell the whole story. First it should be mentioned that I asked if they could play their normal playlist but I did want to hear a few specific songs. When I asked they reached out to verify the version I was looking for. They not only co firmed the version of that was all they had to do it would have been easy. No there were two or three they had to learn as well. They learned them and played them perfectly. One song they already knew but it had to be played at a specific time well they played it at the time and the person it was for loved it. They were playing at a wedding and depending on the weather it could have been outside or inside I changed their location three times before finding a place for them to set up. They didn’t complain they just kept moving with the changes. It was a perfect addition to our perfect day.

Drew played the lunch following a memorial for my mother. The music was excellent, but it was Drew’s exceedingly accommodating attitude that made the day. He learned 2 songs my mother had specifically requested, he hit the right tone on the rest of the music that had not been specifically requested, and he welcomed a family member singing with him in a song that held particular significance. He was wholly professional but could easily have fit in as a member of my large Irish family. Drew was responsive and communication was easy and prompt. We would happily hire him again, and given his leadership, I trust the whole band would be a delight.

Drew and Gerry were amazing. We had a great rainy day luncheon and it was such a pleasure and treat to have them. They were professional especially during set-up and breakdown. They engaged toe audience well.

So enjoyed Sandy singing the Parting Glass
