"This is the second year running we have used the Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band for our St Patrick''s party, and they were a huge hit again. We had our biggest turnout for an event, making it a very successful fundraiser. A big part of this was people wanting to join in with the Ceilidh fun again, having experienced the band last year. The music and calling were excellent, and the dances were great fun. It was great to try some new dances too. Our guests were already talking about next year as they left!"

"Luc was perfect for our wedding. He is an incredibly talented harpist with such a wide repertoire. Our guests commented on how lovely his music was, and he created the perfect relaxed atmosphere for the wedding - playing through the ceremony, drinks reception and into the wedding breakfast. He blended classical pieces with renditions of popular songs (the Ed Sheeran went down particularly well!), folk pieces and even Disney into an elegant set that was a pleasure to listen to. Our guests gave him a big round of applause after his final piece and lots were keen to know where we found him! He was very open to our suggestions and requests and we really enjoyed visiting him before the wedding to have a listen and plan some pieces for the ceremony. We highly recommend Luc for your wedding or event! "

"All ages were able to take part" "Wraggle Taggle Ceilidh Band performed at The Walker Ground in Southgate for a Charity Fundraiser and the night was a great success (Saturday 11th March 2023 Southgate Cricket, Hockey & Squash Rackets Club, 175 Waterfall Road, Southgate, London, N14 7JZ) The caller was fab and engaged with the crowd to get everyone up and dancing. People of all ages were able to take part and were delighted with the live music. There was great communication with Mick before, during and after the event itself. We would highly recommend Wraggle Taggle Ceilidh Band and look forward to having them at events at The Walker Ground in future...." "...Hi Mick, I just wanted to email to say thanks for the event here on Saturday night. It was so much fun and I am delighted with how the night went. Hopefully you all enjoyed it too ! Keara Stapleton, Manager, The Walker Cricket Ground Trust , Southgate, London, N14 7JZ 13th March 2023"

"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!"

"I just have to share how incredible the Agra acoustic Duo are. From the moment they began singing, it was clear we were witnessing something really special. Their voices blended so effortlessly, full of emotion, power, and control — the kind of performance that gives you goosebumps and stays with you long after it ends. But what made the experience even more memorable was who they are as people. Warm, genuine, and so full of heart, they brought such a lovely energy that made everyone feel welcome and connected. It’s rare to come across artists who are not only exceptionally talented but also truly kind and humble. An unforgettable performance by two beautiful souls — I can’t recommend them highly enough."

Being asked to play for a wake is one of the greatest honours a musician can receive. But to be so welcomed and looked after on the day by such wonderful people is a true blessing. We were immeasurably glad to get to meet Carol and her delightful family and friends, and through them, get to know a little more about the incredible Eileen. Thank you for choosing us to sing for you all and let us be part of your celebration to honour a wonderful woman. Much love, Amy and Steve (Agra Acoustic Duo)

"It was our first visit to the Harry Paye celebrations in Poole & we found you guys (Murphy's Lore Trio) by sheer luck! We were there to join in with the Pirates shenanigans on Saturday, but wanted to enjoy any Friday night rampaging that might be going on first! You had the whole pub alive & dancing with your superb music, so thanks from us, Terry & Julie & we hope to see you somewhere again soon?"

"Hi Davie. It’s been a while now but just a short note to thank you & the guys for playing a great set at our wedding. If there was one negative, it’s that I never asked you guys to play all night. Anyway, hope you are well & in the unlikely event that I ever get married again, I know which band to go for. Thanks again. "

"We recently asked It's No' Reel Ceilidh Band to play at our daughter's wedding. The band arrived on time and set up without any fuss. In fact we were hardly aware of their presence until they started to play. There were a number of English guests and Tom kindly went through the steps of the dances at the start. This was really helpful and encouraged everyone on to the floor. The music was great and played so well. We could not have asked for a better band. A big thanks to all that played for us you made our very special day really great."
