"We hired Danny to play our private party. We had loved what we heard from his profile, but nothing prepared us for how exceptional he was on the day. Professional, friendly and very understanding in the face of some fairly strange antics going on from some of the guests (we were all dressed as prawns). To top it all off, when we were quoting Fry & Laurie sketches after he'd finished, he joined in with us. I'd be tempted to adopt him if I didn't already have three kids of my own. What an amazing guitarist, singer and all round entertainer. Thanks Danny!"

"I have seen and admired Kelly's Heroes for a number of years and always find them hugely entertaining. The musicianship and vocals are consistently top quality and their choice of material is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser. Highly recommended for almost any type of event, from pubs to concerts and festivals."

"The Rampart Street Ramblers played a wonderful mix of music at our wedding as guests arrived, mingled and drank at our wedding reception. The weather was not as dry as we'd hoped, so the band moved around to various places around the venue to entertain different groups. Beforehand, Dai called me and was very happy to cater to our specific tastes and needs. So many of our guests told us they were great, and at least one couple have asked for their details for their wedding too. My only disappointment was I didn't get to hear them much as I was being dragged off in all directions. "

"The Cesarz Tabor Duo played while I walked down the aisle and it was so beautiful!! During the ceremony they played classical music and a piece we had chosen, then played some lovely jazz on the lawn while everyone had drinks. It really made our day!"

"We had the pleasure of having Danny play at our intimate Ceremony and Wedding Reception this August and we can’t recommend him highly enough. Danny is very accommodating and was wonderful to work with from the start. We were after instrumental improvisation so Danny recorded and sent over some extra samples for us before we even made our booking. We also had a special request for the processional that couldn’t have been easy to transcribe - Danny arranged a version that involved playing both a harp accompaniment and vocal melody on the guitar - and it worked beautifully! Even if you have something a little bit different in mind for your event or wedding then you would be in safe hands with Danny - he is a wonderfully talented and clearly very skilled guitarist. We have had so many of our guests approach us to ask about him since, including those who now want to book him for their upcoming weddings! Danny is also incredibly charming and a really lovely presence to have around - we had a very small, intimate ceremony and his easygoing and friendly nature meant he blended right in. All in all, Danny exceeded our already high expectations. He was a major part of what made the atmosphere of our Ceremony exactly what we had wanted. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone. Thank you Danny :) "

"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! "

"I just wanted to say a very belated thank you for the amazing sets you performed at our wedding in October! Despite the slight technical issue from the venue for our first song - the rest was amazing and thank you again for performing our first dance again at the end of the night... I would highly recommend you to anyone and hope we hear you perform again in the future!"

"Just a quick note to thank you and your band for an absolutely outstanding evening last Saturday at our annual Burns Supper. I have every admiration for you and how well you managed to shepherd a herd of cats around the dance floor and the fact that the dance floor was still packed until the finish was testament to your professionalism. I look forward to seeing you again at some point in the future and I can assure you I will happily recommend you to anyone looking for a high quality Ceilidh band."

"We booked Up The COuntry for our wedding as me and my wife are massive Luke Combs fans. Up The Country performed our first dance song just as good if not better than the original as well as played our favourite country songs! They were by far the highlight of our wedding evening! "
