"Dear Mick, Thank you for making my dad’s send off so brilliant (31st October 2025 Friday West Lodge Park Hotel 4 Ferny Hill, Hadley Wood, Barnet, Herts, EN4 0PZ), you played so beautifully and later managed to adjust and play to what ever the family suggested and to their singing. Thank you again, Sharon Butler Xxx 1st November 2025"

"I just wanted to say thank you so, so much from Lottie and I for performing at our wedding. You two were sensational and gave the drinks reception such a special feeling. It was a last minute decision from us to have music during that time and we couldn’t be happier that we booked you. We had so many compliments about it and it really made the time fly by. Thanks again."

"Many thanks to you and all of DGB band for the energy and skill you brought to Saturday`s ceilidh. The band made the music seem effortless and you got people dancing without realising they'd been organised into it. Many thanks!"

"Amazing band, booked them for my partner's surprise 50th Birthday party and they really made it something special. We all had the best time and they got the crowd dancing (and line dancing) loads. Loved the barn dancing as well. Not a bad word to say. Highly recommend!! "

"We're so glad we chose It's No' Reel as our wedding band! They were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. We were drawn into their lovely website by the amazing Game of Thrones cover video. Organising everything via email was so easy, and it was refreshing to get a clear idea of what was involved early on. Not only were they super professional on the day, they were also great fun and really responded to our guests on the dance floor by switching between ceilidh and our favourite dance tunes. Seeing my parents dance to 'House of Pain - Jump Around' was a personal highlight... The non-Scottish guests got the hang of the ceilidh moves in no time thanks to the great caller. Our guests were raving about the band for weeks afterwards. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!"

"Your singing and playing was absolutely wonderful and created exactly the right mood during our wedding breakfast. I was very impressed by your professionalism, you dressed the part, set up quickly and efficiently, and made sure that the whole day was stress free."

"Excellent acoustic soloist. Can not recommend highly enough. He had everyone up and singing and I’ve been asked when he’s coming back already! Top night."

"A wonderful band. The caller was great and made everyone feel very comfortable. A wonderful evening for the whole family and friends ranging from 3 year olds to 80 year olds. Everyone could join in. Turned up on time and very polite nice lads. Would highly recommend."

"One of the leading British musicians in an American dominated scene who provided the spiritual and emotional heart with an extended Romanian-style improvisation. His playing, the versatility on display throughout the night... a reminder of the sheer power of great musicianship"

"The Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band came to an event we ran for our students. They were utterly fantastic! They ensured everyone was included, the caller engaged and instructed the audience, and they are great musicians! We have no hesitations in recommending this group. We will be inviting them back!"

"We had an AMAZING time! The band were incredible - after we sorted out the wind logistics we were off! Everyone has said how amazing the ceilidh was and we couldn't agree more it was so much fun (watching a bunch of English people try to learn the gay Gordon's was hilarious) Thank you so much again!"

"Such a fun dancing evening! The ceilidh was a definite highlight of our wedding. Everyone joined in and had at amazing time. It was lovely to see all our guests dancing and laughing together. The band went out of their way to ensure our wedding celebrations went smoothly - they helped us with the cake cutting, our first dance and had a lovely surprise for us at the end! Highly recommend."

"I finally went along to see G Celtic Folk Rock Band when they played at the Old Printworks in Wakefield, close to where I live. I've known Chris for over thirty years. Knew he played fiddle in several different bands over the years and decided it was high time I made the effort! I wasn't disappointed. I was expecting straight Irish folk music but they have a blend of rock, folk, Irish, Yorkshire ballads. Great music, very tight sound with a nod and a wink to traditional Irish and not so traditional ballads. Great musicians who play well together. I intended staying for a couple of pints but stayed the entire evening. Great show boys! See you next time!"

"Iron Broo played at our wedding on the 30th May 2015 at Innes House. There were a lot of people from down south who hadn't ceilidh'd before and Charlie was brilliant at calling the dances and getting everyone involved. We also had a disco that Charlie provided later that evening. The whole evening was brilliant thank you Iron Broo."
