The Rovers played my Mom's memorial at the end of August. James responded promptly to my request and was kind, genial, accommodating, and professional. The 'lads' were also a pleasure and all very talented. Their set list and banter struck the perfect tone. Our guests enjoyed them immensely. I am so grateful to them for helping us honor Mom exactly as she wanted. -Brigid B, Dover, NH
The Boston Rovers are not only incredibly talented musicians but they are the utmost professional and truly care about who they are working with. Jim took the time to drive over an hour to my wedding venue, check out the lay of the land and even let my officiants use his PA system . They worked hard to set up and play in two locations for my ceremony and cocktail
hour. My guests did not even want to head to the reception and just wanted to hear them continue to play. Great guys and I would recommend them for anything. They were also very thoughtful as to songs and shared music with me ahead of time make sure we enjoyed it.
The Boston Rovers were amazing! Everyone at the wedding loved having live Irish music…love, love ,love!
Kind, friendly, and extremely talented!
We had the pleasure of having the Boston Rovers play in our backyard for a surprise 35th anniversary party, and they were an absolutely hit. We were told by the couple that the best part of the surprise was the band! All the guests were dancing and singing along to familiar pub music, making it feel like we were all truly in Ireland.
Jim was wonderful to work with. He was extremely responsive to our questions, and attentive to our requests. You can tell Jim, Alan, and Taylor all have a true passion for what they do. We would love to hire them again in the future. Cheers!

They were wonderful!!! Could not have been better!!! We had a chatty group, but it was very obvious they were listening to the music. Every person told me they were great!!! Thank you, Boston Rovers! You get a standing ovation!
Response from The Boston Rovers:
It was a great party thank you for your kind review. Prince on Saturday night was date night as the pizza was great and reasonably priced .
The guys were not only a talented bunch but fun and helpful. We brought in a record amount of toys for our fundraiser and couldn't be happier!
The Boston Rovers were excellent. We booked them for my aunts 80th birthday and it was a lot of fun. They were very entertaining and got everyone involved.

I hired these guys for a Celebration of Life party for a dear friend that passed away. They were punctual, professional, respectful, stress-free and played lighthearted songs that my guests really loved.
Couldn’t have been a better experience!

Thanks for being flexible and fun, despite the uncooperative weather. Terrific music.
We hosted an 80th birthday party for our Mother and hired two of the Boston Rovers to play some Irish music along with American staples. They were fantastic. Everyone loved the band and it was a beautiful day all around!
Response from The Boston Rovers:
Thank you for your kind review
The Boston Rovers
Very professional, great communication, and such a blast the day of the party! Would not hesitate to book them again for another event.
Incredibly talented Celtic group. Were able to play all requested Irish music at the event on the spot. Great energy. Two days after the event and everyone is still talking about how impressed they were with the music.
I recently hired The Rogues for a reception and they were great! Responded quickly, had options for costumes and very organized. The crowd enjoyed the music and was even up dancing! I would highly recommend The Rogues and can't wait to hire them again in the future!
The Rogues totally rocked our wedding reception! They are great to work with: honest, enthusiastic, and talented! I would most definitely hire them again if the occasion arises. Slainte!
The Rogues were so fun and were so good! Good musicians and singers! Thanks!
They understood our event (corp reception) and delivered exactly what we were looking for. Professional, fun and talented. On time, good communication, and they even took requests from the attendees!
