"We hired It's No' Reel for our English/Scottish wedding and they had guests of all ages up on the dance floor immediately. We were inundated with well-deserved compliments on our choice of band all night and our wedding was fantastically fun and family friendly thanks to them. The guys are all unbelievably talented musicians and it is testament to their skill that a group of three individuals could keep 100 adults and 20 children entertained for a whole evening. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any event - they made our day! There were a couple of things on the day that completely outshone our expectations and these guys were one of them. What a fun night of dancing!"

"They are absolutely first-rate. First of all, both members sing and work together in beautiful harmony, and on top of that, they make all of their own arrangements so that you hear songs in a completely new and wonderful way. Their work is fantastic, we're delighted to have them working here for Viking!"

"Exactly what we wanted for our wedding! Excellent musicians throughout and great, clear direction/calling to help those of us that were complete beginners and those that were from Germany with limited English! Genuinely impressed with the pace they managed to keep until the very end... Both the band as well as the guests! Very professional and provided great communication from the moment we booked. Would not hesitate to book them again! Thank you again Ardverikie!"

"The Shooglers were great fun and had everyone on the dancefloor. We had a lot of comments about how they were much better than a traditional celidh band. They also interacted with the audience and really got the party going. "

"Blue Jewel were a delight to have at our wedding, that I would recommend to everyone. Kip was excellent at his organisation and the whole thing was hassle free. We wanted a ceilidh to get everyone dancing together and the sets by Blue Jewel were perfect, with a range of different dances, tunes beautifully played with moves called, and lots of enthusiasm. It was a delight and everyone loved it! Thank you so much! "

"We cannot say enough good things about this band!! Fantastically skilled, wonderful musicians that created a warm, fun atmosphere from the moment they arrived at our venue. Every single one of our guests has commented since about how wonderful the music was and what a good job the caller Kip did of bringing everyone together and talking us through the steps in a relaxed but clear manner. The music the band played was varied and appropriately chosen for our style of wedding reception and EVERYBODY got involved and had a dance - the music really brought people together and created a wonderful atmosphere all evening. This band are amazing and excellent value for money, and we won't hesitate to hire them again at our next big gathering. Thank you so much Blue Jewel for giving us a magical evening, you were the cherry on our wedding cake!"

"It was a fabulous evening! Thank you so much for the wonderful joyful music. Noeleen’s excellent calling skills resulted in lots of people keen to get up and dance! It was such a fun night. Looking forward to doing it again! It was such a great night and we were both touched that you remembered our wedding reception! Thank you to all the band and especially managing us all in such a tight space. We hadn't anticipated so many dancers up on the floor! Look forward to seeing you again sometime"

"We had a fantastic time with the Blue Jewel Ceilidh band, brilliant music. We all had such fun, everyone could join in as nothing was too complicated. The caller was very good and hit the right note, very professional and special thanks to them all for making every effort to get to the venue after the snow drifts and icy roads caused major problems for many. It helped to make our daughter’s Wedding a very special day. "
