"The band were a pleasure to work with, professional but friendly. They set up very efficiently and discretely considering their arrival time was mid-meal. Considering they had a tricky audience demographic of 65-90 year olds, they managed to get people up on the dance floor with gentle encouragement, for a fabulous end to a great event. Would book again for sure. Thank you!"

"Becky sang at our wedding reception, she was everything we could have asked for and all the guests commented on her amazing voice and song choices! She even sang during our first dance which made it even more special! I would definitely recommend her in the future."

"Well what can we say! Eljay were absolutely fantastic arrived on time with equipment set up ready for the evening. They sang lots of different songs from old to new keeping the ears of our guests entertained ready for more. Lucy was absolutely amazing such a talented lady 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."

"The band did a fantastic job playing for the ceilidh at our wedding in October. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm, for introducing us to some new dances, and for cheerfully going along with my very specific opinions about how a ceilidh should work! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a ceilidh band. - Rebecca and Charles"

"……a HUGE thank you Murphy’s Lore, for an amazing evening of fantastic music, great entertainment and wonderful atmosphere ! You matched the dances perfectly to take into account the extreme heat and the great age range …….. just 4 years old to 84 …… Great calling and encouragement ( in the heat !) Noeleen ….. you are amazing !!! My personal favourite has to be the last dance the coil and processional “wedding dance “ ….. brilliant !!! I've had loads of great feedback from friends and family re the FUN that they all had …. whether it was dancing themselves or watching others’ varying attempts …. What a laugh !!! July 2026"

"I would 100% recommend Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band to anyone! It was the highlight of our wedding reception and got everyone involved no matter what age. The caller was clear and friendly and the music was brilliant. There was a mix of interesting and entertaining dances and we could have had them for another few hours and still been dancing! Thanks for a very memorable evening. "
