"We had a great night at our retirement do. The band were brilliant and got everyone involved. I have had so many positive comments from people who attended including - it was the best night out I have ever had!! We were a pretty lively lot but Kip was very patient in explaining the dance when we just didn't get it. I would highly recommend The Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band to anyone who is planning a fun filled evening. Thank you very much indeed. I will always remember what a wonderful evening I had when I retired from teaching. Alison (Torquay)"

"Having worked with Danny previously in the theatre, I contacted him knowing of his professionalism and talent as a vocalist and musician. What did take me by surprise was his attention to detail and preparation, as he crafted some beautiful cover-songs for our day, which really was special. His relaxed charm, soulful voice, and spirited guitar-play all were perfection. The Missus & I could not recommend Danny highly enough - thank you, Sir! David T x"

"Such a phenomenal band. Tailored the whole performance to our preferences. Got the whole room up and line dancing 4 times. Honestly made my 40th birthday party the best night that I will never forget. Everyone said how epic it was. Hope to use them again soon. Thank you Lilac and the band for making our night!"

"Kip and his band were absolutely amazing. We had an unusual wedding venue and they made it work so that it was just perfect. I was overwhelmed with all the care and attention that they put into the calls and making sure everyone was included from very young to older guests. Anyone who has a wedding really knows that it flies by for the bride and groom but Kip made sure we were called to dance so we also had the opportunity to enjoy the music. We will be hiring these guys again as they were brilliant and fantastic musicians. You made the day so special, we can't thank you enough. Rachel and Christian x"

"For the evening celebrations, we had an INCREDIBLE zaffa. The Baladi Zaffa Band were another highlight of the day with our guests remarking how they’d never heard a zaffa so unique before – even our non-Arabic friends have been saying how much they want to incorporate a zaffa procession into their wedding, all thanks to Guy!"

"Oh, what a night I had to remember on Saturday. (11.9.2021) Sound with Us came to do a Ceilidh for my big birthday bash and provided a disco for afterwards. They were just out of this world and had everybody up dancing or jigging along in their seats. Their sound quality and musicianship were first class and the caller, who had the biggest task keeping everyone in check, did a magnificent job. My guests were in fits of laughter and he was so patient with us and eventually managed to guide most of us through our paces. I’ve had so many messages since, asking where I had hired such a good band from. Sincere thanks to all the band Fran xxxxx"

"Crimson Sky were a brilliant band for our wedding, they were so friendly and professional to deal with before and during the wedding. They made everything run smoothly and any requests were carried out with no fuss. They really got the party going with a mixture of classics and newer songs that were a hit with all our guests. We loved them and would recommend booking them for any occasion! Great band x "
