"We had a brilliant evening with the Blue Jewel band. The whole evening ran very smoothly and a great time was had by all. I was really pleased with the bands rendition of 'You've got a friend' by James Taylor! We would heartily recommend the band for a stress-free evening. Thanks again to the band."

"We booked It's No' Reel to play at our wedding by Loch Lomond and couldn't have been happier with our choice of ceilidh band. Tom was very responsive when we first got in touch and gave us helpful advice on the band arrangement and set-up best suited to our venue (where they had played before), how to handle any queries on the day, ways of making the dreaded "first dance" experience as painless as possible etc. All of the admin side was very straightforward and transparent - knowing we could count on our band to show up certainly reduced our stress levels! Needless to say, everything went very smoothly on our wedding day and the band was absolutely brilliant. Most of our wedding guests were non-Scots, so having a caller was particularly useful, and the Game of Thrones theme went down a treat. I'd thoroughly recommend It's No' Reel to anyone else planning a Scottish wedding (or just a ceilidh for the sake of it!) and hope I'll have the chance to hear them play again."

"Luc was perfect for our wedding. He is an incredibly talented harpist with such a wide repertoire. Our guests commented on how lovely his music was, and he created the perfect relaxed atmosphere for the wedding - playing through the ceremony, drinks reception and into the wedding breakfast. He blended classical pieces with renditions of popular songs (the Ed Sheeran went down particularly well!), folk pieces and even Disney into an elegant set that was a pleasure to listen to. Our guests gave him a big round of applause after his final piece and lots were keen to know where we found him! He was very open to our suggestions and requests and we really enjoyed visiting him before the wedding to have a listen and plan some pieces for the ceremony. We highly recommend Luc for your wedding or event! "

They sang lots of different songs from old to new keeping the ears of our guests entertained ready for more. was absolutely amazing such a talented band would love to have thwmat another event. The only down side was that the evening seemed to go to fast but as the saying goes time flys when your having fun. Would so love to see them again in the future absolutely fantastic performance what an amazing band."

"We had the pleasure of Danny singing at our wedding on Saturday, he was perfect and his acoustic set was fab. Danny is a very talented musician who was very professional, accommodating and even put up with most of our guests deciding they'd duet with him through the evening! We would definitely recommend him and hope to use him again in the near future. Thanks again Dan x"

"We hired Unwritten Duo to perform at a Private house/Garden Party for my parents wedding anniversary. She turned up on time with all her own gear, set up without fuss, and was really professional. She did 2 sets, interacted with guests and reacted to the audience, mood well and really made the party. Excellent singer and vocals with a brilliant personality. Definitely recommend her and will consider using her again. Andy Moore "
