"This group of lovely people were a joy to deal with from booking and up to their departure! The music is a delightful combo of folk-style interpretations of current hits and old favourites that was just perfect for our boho-style forest wedding in a tipi. Thanks guys, we absolutely loved having you there!"

"Davie, I don’t know where to start by thanking you boys for Friday night. There were over 100 peeps there and I would say nearly everyone has commented on how brilliant you were and how you made the night. Big Andy(the big fat loud boy) thinks you’re even better now compared to the wedding and we thought you were awesome then. Everybody had a great time which is mainly down to you guys. We’ve not stopped talking about it since. Pass our regards to the boys. Hope you get an awesome venue for Hogmanay, you certainly deserve it. Thanks a million, Paula! "

"We had an amazing night thanks to Blue Jewel. Our international students had never seen or heard of a ceilidh before, but after a little convincing they joined in with the first dance. By the time it came to the second dance, they all wanted to join in and then danced for hours. The band were so great at explaining what to do, especially to students who are learning English, and making them laugh - plus playing wonderful lively music! "

"The Final Hour were an incredible band who made our wedding day that extra bit special. A professional and highly entertaining group, whose music was infectious and got everyone dancing!"

"Rebecca added so much to our wedding. She was a pleasure to correspond with pre-event (through several COVID-related date changes). Her music is beautifully and sensitively delivered. She was working at a venue she had not been to before, and that causes her no issues at all. She helped to create exactly the relaxed environment we were aiming for during our meal. Absolutely, wholeheartedly recommended."

"Michael was able to set up the recording sessions at very short notice, booking musicians, producing and arranging a world class mixing engineer. The album sounds great and has been getting radio play. Looking forward to making the next record with Michael and his team!"

"I booked Barn With Us for my husbands 60th birthday party at our house. They were absolutely Fantastic, the whole band and equipment were extremely professional and Lilac’s voice is amazing. There was lots of communication with Lilac before the event so I felt really confident I was going to get the sort of performance that suited my party. The event was fairly small with only 35 guests but Lilac really brought the party to life with lots of interaction, everyone loved it and had so much fun. I would highly recommend them Thank you so much Barn with us for making my party feel really special x "

"If I could give more than 5* I would! Barn With Us were incredible at our wedding and really made the evening celebrations fantastic. We wanted a country band that could really get everyone up and dancing and they did not disappoint! We also had a caller to help with the line dancing and our guests had such a fun time learning the steps. Lilac was brilliant from start to end and really understood what we wanted and offered some very helpful suggestions on timings for the evening. We wanted to do a specific song for our first dance and the band were so accommodating of this and it was perfect. We also had Remko for a DJ set after the live band and he was brilliant to end the night on a high. I would thoroughly recommend the band and DJ if you are looking for great energy and brilliant music for a special event. Some of our guests have already booked the band for a 70th Birthday celebration - so we look forward to seeing you again soon! Thank you so much to Sound With Us for making our wedding so brilliant - you really were the highlight of our wedding! Sophie & Guy x"

"This band is absolutely incredible both live and recorded. Live, they are hugely versatile and highly engaging, getting the audience on their feet dancing and singing along, or sitting back in awe as Amy hits those stunning high notes in Somewhere over the Rainbow. Their studio recordings are absolutely magical, I have them on repeat on all my playlists! My absolute favourite is Fotheringay for which they have a beautifully haunting music video too. Their own original songs are also absolutely fantastic, of indistinguishable quality from their covers. A great band recommended for any occasion."

"I cannot thank you enough for you and your band at my mums birthday party, it really was the best night we have had in ages. The effort by all of you far exceeded any expectation I had, never lone anyone else in the room. You didn’t just provide a band for the night, you all provided the entertainment, fun factor, the laughing (the workout!) and provided exactly and way more then I ever expected. The music was wonderful, jolly, filled gaps , catered to everyone’s ears from ages 2 - 80+ years! You made it easy to follow the dance steps and fun for absolutely everyone, whether they were dancing or just listening to the music. I absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone or use you all again in a heartbeat. So thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for providing one element that made the whole night. Best wishes to you all (and I look forward to perhaps seeing you all again) Kind regards Tory "
