PRIVATE EVENTS
PRIVATE PARTY
We found Scruffy Murphy on the Internet and invited them to our Fall Victory Tour in Virginia Beach in October 2008. Sarah was most congenial to work with and our 215 familiy audience totally enjoyed the traditional and contemporary Irish music. It was delightful and energetic!

IRISH WAKE
We booked Scruffy Murphy for an "Irish Wake". The music was lively and exactly what we wanted. Their Irish music repertoire was extensive, the band members easy to work with and the cost very reasonable.

WEDDING
"A lively and wonderfully talented group! Scruffy Murphy added a special touch to our wedding reception. Everyone enjoyed their Irish style."
Greg and Kelly Troxell, Staunton, VA
WEDDING 2011
We booked Scruffy Murphy for our daughter’s Irish-themed wedding reception and were extremely pleased throughout the entire experience. The band members are immensely talented and spirited and kept the event lively with their toe-tapping-knee-slapping mixture of traditional and contemporary tunes. Sarah was very professional and a joy with which to work during the planning process. We greatly appreciated the personalized service and reasonable fee. Can’t wait to see them perform again!
