Dilly Reviews
"The Dillyboys took to the stage with their original take on traditional folk, more along the Gypsy folk lines. The crowd were a knowledgeable bunch and joined in on several numbers where audience participation was required. The trio comprised of Banjos, Mandolins guitars and an accordion. As well as traditional folk instruments and songs, the trio’s harmonies dovetailed seamlessly creating a rich and sweet vocal line."
​
"Amazing band. Seen them perform at weddings, pub gigs and festivals and always blown away by how much energy and talent come from these guys. Such fun to dance to! They leave their audience exhausted and wanting more!"
​
"Fantastically talented, passionate and lovely people. We'd love to have them again in the future."
