Just ask around, Emerald Thieves are the real deal
We strongly advise couples to view potential wedding bands in person, don't be wooed by slick HD promo videos that have been produced in a recording studio. An honest live performance will tell you so much more about a bands ability, stagecraft, professionalism and personality.
Although many Emerald Thieves shows are private events, you can view the band once a month at your local family-friendly Stack venue. It's a great place to hang-out, enjoy live music, drinks and street food.

"Job very well done at Durham Castle everyone
👏👏👏
Robert and the Emerald Thieves absolutely made our wedding... especially considering we took a gamble by booking a band we had never heard live. They were absolutely fantastic!
Soooo many guests have said you were brilliant, outstanding!
The mix of Irish and modern music was quality. We had the best day and were never off the dance-floor!!... that's because of you and the rest of the band.
You surpassed all expectations.
From the new Mr and Mrs Benson we want to send out heartfelt thanks for making our day the most wonderful day we could have ever asked for."

Barnbougle Castle - April 2023
What can we say? Rob, Anna, Gary, Jon and Andrew...not just truly lovely people, but an absolutely phenomenal band.
We felt very lucky to have them play at our wedding at Barnbougle Castle just outside of Edinburgh in April of this year (2023). A thoughtful set list, expertly delivered, which kept the dance floor full all night!
Thanks for being so easy to deal with, and for delivering an unforgettable party.
