"Wow! John Adams and the band have given me the most fantastic memories of my wedding night - I can’t thank them enough! All generations of friends and family on the dance floor enjoying a myriad of songs from Bastille through to Cotton Eye Joe and even The Jungle Book! We have had so many comments on how good the band were - they really made the night. If you like music and dancing, these are your guys - I would recommend them to anyone and would definitely book them again! Diolch yn fawr."

"Blue Jewel played for the final evening of the International Conference for Research in Music Education, at Reed hall (Exeter University). Despite the very excitable and large group (100+) the band managed to get everyone dancing a lovely variety of simple dances including French and Russian ones. The balance of instruments worked really well in the space (not overpowering) and KIp, the caller. did a great job. "

"We had a ceilidh for a volunteer celebration. Even before the event Lilac was super helpful with suggestions of what timings would work well and how to encourage people to get involved. The band arrived in good time to set up and we’re really friendly. They were flexible on the night without us needing to intervene and got people dancing again after a break for speeches. The band also included those with less mobility and were great and encouraging everyone to get involved. We had the majority of people dancing throughout the event. I would totally recommend."

"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!"

"Thank you Blue Jewell for helping us to deliver such a great annual event. You’ve been fabulous to work with over the last 5 years and we look forward to the years to come. Our beneficiaries had an amazing time again this year whooping and dancing. We love your music and appreciate how you collaborate with the dance team. Thanks again – see you next year. "

"What a fantastic band! Blue Jewel played at Paul's 50th birthday party in February 2016 and were a complete hit. Thank you so much! The booking process was really easy with Steve answering all the questions we had before the evening. The dances were varied and all great fun. All four members of the band were a pleasure to have with us. There was so much laughter! If we book a ceilidh again (and I think given the success of this we will) we will certainly ask Blue Jewel to play."

"The band were absolutely brilliant! Our crowd is sometimes hard to please but they got everyone up and dancing in no time. The setup and sound checks were professional and seamless with no disturbance to guests. I had great reviews from guests and the vibe in the pub was brilliant. We will defiantly be having Boots & Buckles back. "

"We wanted to get in touch to officially thank you for helping to make our big day even more special. Alice and I spent many evenings sitting at home ploughing through online video clips of bands and were so pleased we found Stargazers. The band lived up to our expectations and made our day even more special. Thank you to both you and Andy for playing the acoustic set while the photos were being taken. While we didn’t get to hear much of this, our guests were extremely complimentary and your music was enjoyed by everyone. Thank you for bearing with us in the evening. Alice and I had an absolutely brilliant evening and really enjoyed dancing the night away. Stargazers was everything we wanted and much, much more! You were so kind with the bridesmaids and my nephew who joined in the Bandeoke. They felt so special and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Our guests loved every minute of it! You played a fantastic mix of songs which got everyone up and dancing for the whole evening. We have never danced so much but thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! "
