“We booked Bart and Trish to perform at our daughter's naming ceremony. We wanted to create a really special vibe and Bart and Trish delivered! We gave them the themes we were going to explore during the ceremony and they chose beautiful pieces to play and sing throughout. Bar one song we knew they were going to sing for us on the day, the rest were a surprise. We trusted them so much and they made the most magical day so memorable. Thank you so much!”

“Bart and Sonja’s weekly trad sessions and our cafe - a converted pub - are a perfect match. Their music fills the room every Friday, where the old pub walls are just as happy to hear the tunes as we are. Turning the trad session into a daytime affair, locals and tourists alike love the atmosphere while they enjoy their coffee and lunch.

When we hosted a family wedding, Bart and Sonja were incredibly easy to work with and answered our requests with ease. They created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that perfectly fit the style of wedding we were putting on, it was a true delight.”

“We had Bart, Trish and Kieran perform at our wedding in June 2024 in Treaty City Brewery and they were absolutely brilliant! They were extremely professional and made the whole process very easy for us. I left the music selection in their very capable hands and was delighted because all we had to do was sit back, relax and enjoy the trad. 10/10! Would recommend.”

“Bart played for our walking tour groups last summer and we're delighted that we have him on board again this year. Not only is he a fantastic musician, he can truly read a room and garantee an exceptional performance every time. He brings people together and gets everyone to join in and sing their favourite tune.”

“I'm a regular at the Sunday trad sessions at Pots. Bart and his fellow musicians create a friendly, warm atmosphere for people of all ages to come and enjoy Irish music. Bart always provides plenty smiles, banter and great energy along with his engaging vocals. It's become a Sunday tradition for the local community to sit and listen to great tunes while catching up with friends.”

“The highlight of my recent visit to county Clare was the music of Bart Lever. I was touched as his music entered my heart and lingered long. His songs are the epitome of the Irish experience. I feel very fortunate to have been the recipient of his soulful voice.”

“Bart Lever is the deep-voiced guitar player who is featured in so many of my Instagram videos. He plays and organises music for my groups in the west of Ireland.

He is fantastic to work with: professional, reliable and puts on a great evening. It’s actually the highlight for my groups. He also organises other musicians, venues and is willing to travel to perform.

Make sure to book him if you or your team are looking to do something special! I highly recommend him.”

Neil Cash - Tour Operator

“Bart is a fantastic musician. He always comes to us bringing an upbeat, engaging and unique take on folk, trad and other genres. He works with some fantastic musicians, when combined create an absolute treat for those tuning in. 5 stars for the ceoil.”
