"I hired the Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band for a party I was having (for its own sake!). I made initial contact with Kip online since I live in China and was arranging the party for when I would be at home in the summer. Kip was easy to deal with and the booking was arranged with just a few short emails. On the night, Kip and the rest of the band turned up with the same sense of ease and informality. They provided us with a fantastic night of entertainment with Kip giving clear instructions for the dances as caller. I would thoroughly recommend the Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band for their quality musicianship, their excellent rates and for their warm and friendly service."

"Hi Mary, just wanted to thank you and the band for making our party so perfect. Everyone said it was such fun, even those who chickened out of actually joining in. Loved Strip the Willow, think Canadian version, because none of us were standing around long enough to catch our breath, ha ha. Peter, my very tall nephew, who took over the calling at one point, thought it was fabulous. So thanks again, best wishes Laura"

"The barn dance in Barnham turned out to be an absolute hoot. I'm struggling to imagine a more excellent outing."

"Thank you for the beautiful music you played for my Mother's funeral. It was perfect and totally appropriate. It was so uplifting and although we were all sad it made the day a wonderful celebration of my Mother's life . If she were there she would have been dancing."

"Had these guys along for my recent wedding as we wanted something that would be inclusive for all people attending to get involved in. The band were all that I could hope for. They got people up dancing and laughing, and everyone who attended said how much they enjoyed. Thank you for being a part of our big day :)"

"I just have to thank Black Velvet Band for the great job they did at my 70th birthday ceilidh in Bristol on 24th June. I had such a great time, and that was partly down to the three of them working hard, and giving us great music to dance to. I danced every dance and enjoyed it so much. When the caller was explaining how to reel I thought, "Uh oh, this'll be fun!" and it certainly was ... I haven't laughed so much in ages. So, well done everyone involved, and if we ever have another I'll be sure to contact you again."

"Hi Andrew/Cecily, We just wanted to send you an email to say thank you very much for the fantastic job you did at our wedding. A lot of people complimented on the music we had chosen and it made the day extra special. Sorry I didn’t get a chance to talk to you, as you can imagine I was caught up in the moment! Thanks once again"

"I can be regarded as 'difficult' mainly becauseI expect value for money and we certainly got that with Joe and the band - I have a reputation for telling it like I see it good or bad and in the case of Oddsox it can only be good. ......It was a fantastic night, one of the band said to me as he was packing up to go that the band had enjoyed themselves with the audience which I think says it all - even the non folkies have commented on how much fun it was and how much they enjoyed it, and my 85 year old father wants to know when we are doing it again!!!! I would be happy to recommend Oddsox to anyone. Thanks once again to the band for helping make our wedding day A perfect day - looking back we wouldn't change a thing "
