Sillybilly Music Mission Statement (LIST OF CENTRES & TIMES BELOW)
1.At Sillybilly Music we will discover and explore the three fundamentals of music. Rhythm, harmony and melody.

2. We will introduce a variety of instruments such as guitars, drums of different types, recorders, tambourines, shakers, pellet drums, glockenspiel, xylophones, bells, saxophones, boom whackers and keyboards, but we will constantly be searching for new instruments to discover and explore.

3. Aside from introducing instruments, we will be concentrating on the most important instrument of all, the voice, because it is freely accessible to everyone, and all music training should begin with singing.

4. We believe that Music is a language, and like any language introduced to a Child at this early stage, it will be soaked up and processed like all other information.

5. We encourage a love of Music, Rhythm and Instruments, which will stay with your child for life.

Magician Show
We had the pleasure of having one of your entertainers (magician) at our children’s party yesterday afternoon… he was such a success with the children that I have been asked to get a quote from you for our annual Children’s Work Party which is taking place next month. We will have approximately 50 children (a small handful of those will have seen the show yesterday). I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Tanya Hayes – Eversheds O’Donnell Sweeney

Secret Castle of Magic
Went to the shows with eight 11 year old boys – they LOVED it. Fantastic value. Thank You. Marion

Disco Party
Hi there, Just wanted to say thanks so much to Elaine our party host for the fantastic job she did on Sunday. There were about 30+ kids and she handled them so well. They were all talking about her afterwards. Thanks again. Jennie

Fairy Princess Party
I just wanted to let you know that Sarah, was really fantastic as Amelia Bank’s party last Saturday – she had them (all 22 four year olds) eating out of her hand and you might pass on my thanks to her.
regards NICOLA KEOGH

Amazing Magic Party
I just had to email Sillybilly this morning to express our thanks to Ronan, he entertained my son James and his friends at his 5th birthday yesterday in Dunboyne. We are no strangers to entertainers and thought we had good ones before but yesterday was in a different league altogether!! It was a whole experience for all the children (and adults too!) and a thoroughly enjoyable one.
For the first time we were able to relax and actually enjoy the party.
I had a couple of parents asking me today at the school all about Silly Billy and I could only give them a glowing reference….!
Thanks so much for a totally professional and enjoyable experience right from enquiry through to the party itself.
It’s great to see an Irish company doing so well. Keep up the excellent work.
Best regards, Orlaith Redmond

Disco Party
Just want to thank Nan for the wonderful party she did for Karen last week.
I’m sorry I didn’t get to thank her myself on the day.
Karen and her friends (and her parents) were very impressed.
Thanks again. Trisha

Pirate Party
The party was great – she worked very hard to keep fifteen ‘divils’ entertained. Brilliant – thank you again to her and your team. Philippa

Fairy Princess Party
Just wanted to say a big thanks for the wonderful party with Sarah on Friday. Eliza and her friends had a fantastic time and the creche staff were also very impressed.
Regards, Annette Counsell

Amazing Magic Party
Just wanted to say thank you very much for the brilliant party on Sunday. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Laura laugh as much. Ronan was just brilliant with the kids and all the other mums there were very impressed too! Michelle

Pirate Party
Ronan, my apologies for not sending this earlier but I just wanted to say a very big thank you for your pirate-tastic entertainment at Dillon’s birthday. You really helped to make his 4th birthday one to remember. All the kids were talking about it for weeks afterwards and I know two parents who either have or will be booking you.
Many thanks again, Naomi Manek

Magic Party
I would like to thank Ronan for such a great party on Saturday. We all had a great time and he was so professional. Everything went like clockwork and it was well worth every cent. The children, and adults alike, were amazed and enjoyed it immensely.
I would definitely recommend Silly Billies and will keep you in mind for next year.
Thanks so much, Suzanne.

Sport Party
Just to thank Ronan for his hard work at Shane’s birthday on Saturday. He was great, and the boys – despite themselves! – really enjoyed it! Sharon Daly

Adventure Party
Firstly I would like to apologies for the delay in sending this e-mail. I meant to send it the day after the party but never got around to it until now!
I would to thank Sarah (the entertainer) for the performance at my son’s party. She arrived early and set-up with no fuss and instantly had all the kids attention whereupon she proceeded to entertain and enthrall them all for the full hour or so that she was there. Every single child enjoyed it (and most of the adults too)! It really made the day for my son and all his friends and I would like to thank everybody at sillybilly for their help, Regards, David

Auther Murry (Came with his wife and two kids)
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My younger daughter was terrified and cried, but the next day she decided that she didn’t need to be terrified!
The young chap doing the first show was good. My younger daughter described the show as “weird”!
All 4 of us enjoyed the second show. Nevin is very entertaining, and impressed the kids. Clever delivery.
The third show was also very good.
Overall, the experience was very good and happily no one was there trying to sell something to us! Both my kids want to re-visit in the future and my elder daughter (who’s birthday is on Halloween Night) wants us to arrange a visit there for herself & her friends.
Thumbs up!

AUDIENCE REVIEWS

Peter Clerkin (TV3)
Came with my teenage son, last week and we laughed so much together, the magic was just amazing. Tried to explain to my Dad, how good the evening was and couldn’t, so I have come again this week with my son and this time we brought my Dad, who just loved the whole night. I think my son enjoyed it more the second time. Well done to the Secret Castle team on a fantastic and very different night out!

David & Pauline Corry
We Screamed and laughed so much I thought we were going to pee ourselves. What a fun night night this is. We will definitely be back…

Ashleigh Downey
Great Fun

Ian Huet
Imaginative & Unexpected Laughs all through.

Ian Bevan & Edel Byrne
Wow. Brilliant Show, haven’t laughed so much in a while, thanks guys, well done..

Kevin & Michael Fogarty
Excellent. Brilliant.

Caitriona Kenny (Came with her boyfriend)
I have to say it would be enjoyable for people of all ages. All three magicians were excellent in their own type of way. Nevin was hilarious he engaged with the audience a little more then the others. The venue itself was good as you had to go through Dracula’s layers to get to the show and you are blindfolded so there was a lot of screaming and jumping before arriving at your seat. The area itself were the show began was intimate but the people at the back were a little left out i think. Overall rating for me would be 7/10.
Thanks a million for a very enjoyable night and nice to do something different.

Marion. (Party of nine)
