"We booked RJ to play during the day at our wedding in August. He was an utter delight. He was professional and friendly throughout. He checked exactly what we wanted for the day and was very easy to work with. And of course, he is a talented musician - the tone of his voice is even better live. All of our guests commented on his music and a few have even asked for his details for their own events. I’m so glad that he was available to play for our big day!"

"Willow Tree Barn Dance Band provided the music for my husband’s 70th birthday party. We found them to be most professional and organised, arrived in good time and nothing was too much trouble. The music and tuition were top notch. A fantastic evening of jollity and mayhem, with all of our guests young and old saying they had a most enjoyable evening. "

"Great choice of material. Mat Walklate’s harmonica playing is astoundingly proficient throughout and Matt Fahey’s vocal take on My Bonny Boy Is Young is a stand out track. It gets my vote for album of the year."

"A great addition to our fundraiser that raised the bar of the whole event. We were late starting due to train strikes but Good Habits were happy to be flexible so I can't thank them enough. We particularly loved their cover of Those Were The Days!"

"It was a pleasure from start to finish working with Danny. He is such a fantastic singer and guitarist. His gentle nature but confident performance was amazing. He has a personable nature and his relaxed banter between songs is endearing. Everyone loved him. We had a local village night of entertainment with a very mixed clientele, all made comments to me about him being a wonderful “find”, all said they thoroughly enjoyed it. Some of the locals are also singers and band members and although their styles of music were different, they could all appreciate Danny’s immense talent. We can’t wait to have him back for future events. "

"The band were excellent lots of my friends commented how much they enjoyed them. They were very flexible and played two additional sets that helped create an atmosphere that my friends did not want to leave. The band had everyone dancing from the first song to the last one four hours later."

"Good Habits were such an amazing part of our wedding ceremony, we can’t recommend them enough! From working with us to share options and learn new songs we loved, they were so accommodating to our style and the vibe of the day. Talented musicians and really fun people - perfect combo!"

"A big thank you to Blue Jewel for helping make my big birthday party so memorable. I have had loads of messages from my friends saying how much they loved the band's music and the dancing. Steve was an excellent lead at calling the dances, making sure I was happy and that the dances were fun and suited beginners as well as those more experienced."

"Blue Jewel absolutely nailed their two sets for our wedding with their impeccable musicianship, excellent repertoire list, clear calling and easy-going good humour. Half the wedding party was made up of discerning (even after a few glasses) professional musicians, and everyone was completely delighted. They're still talking about it, not least that troika. Cracking first dance too, very easy for the newly-weds. Steve was also really easy to communicate with before the event, which took a lot of stress out of the wedding planning. Worth every penny. Not planning to get married again but hopefully we'll find another occasion to book them again soon! "

"Kip was an easy going point of contact - answered promptly and went with the flow. Very much the same in person! His calling was clear and gentle, and struck the right balance of humour and efficiency. He even joined in when we were a person short. The band were fantastic and so in sync with eachother. All the guests had a great time and even those who wouldn't normally join in felt compelled to do so. Certainly a highlight of our wonderful day. Thank you Blue Jewel :) Sean and Liz"
