Testimonials
Dermot Kelly is a really excellent DJ who I would thoroughly recommend for any event — whether it’s catering for teenagers or grannies. He has an amazing talent for reading a crowd and knowing exactly what tracks will get the crowd onto the dance floor. He DJs for almost all of the weddings and parties held in the private function room in Fallon & Byrne and we have only ever received glowing reports afterwards. Dermot has DJed for a number of personal parties — including Paul’s 40th — and helped make them a resounding success. The magic ingredient for rocking parties!
Fiona McHugh, Owner-Director, Fallon & Byrne
I have been working with Dermot for the last 2 years in Medley. Not only is he one of the nicest people to deal with but his energetic style and choice of music get every party started. He has this amazing intuition and can read the crowd very well. Consequently, he can turn the party around within minutes. His equipment is also state of the art and the sound quality is significantly better than most. I would thoroughly recommend Dermot and Velvet DJs.
Andrew Rudd, Owner, Medley
Dermot is a sensational DJ. From our first dance to the last song, he played what we asked but also improvised, judged the mood and responded accordingly. The night resonated with eclectic sounds, ranging from 70’s disco right through to 00’s R&B taking in every crucial musical genre in between. Everyone was asking …'who's the DJ, he's really great'. Dermot is great, he's a 'stand up, get down' kinda guy! Book him now !!!!!!!!

I enlisted the services of Dermot Kelly of Velvet DJs to DJ at our wedding reception in our home. He had been recommended to me by a friend who adores dancing and had seen Dermot in action at another function. We had around 150 guests at the reception, of which the majority spent most of the night on the dance floor once the music got going. Dermot was very accommodating in ensuring we received the correct music on our special night as we catered for varying age groups. Dermot was very easy to deal with and his communication skills were excellent. We met twice before the event and he was very helpful in giving us advice and indeed copies of music that we might use for our first dance and how he would lead it from there. His knowledge of music was astounding and we were very happy to follow his advice. His attitude to his work exuded professionalism as he MC’d the evening with enthusiasm and humour. We had several wonderful comments from our guests both on the night and indeed we still receive compliments about Dermot’s relaxed and engaging personality. The lighting, sound and special effects were amazing and again extremely professional. He went beyond his efforts in playing for an extra half hour, which we were very grateful for as most of our guests insisted on remaining on the dance floor. My husband and I were very happy with our “night into day” and indeed such was the general reaction of all our guests that our daughter Phoebe, who will be celebrating her 21st in a few weeks time has asked that Dermot DJ the party. Finally, I would highly recommend Dermot. His own enthusiasm spills out into the crowd.
