"You are extremely talented and your interpretation of Herb Alpert’s “This Guy/Girl’s in Love with you” was to absolute perfection. The guests at our table, both Irish and English friends remembered it and quietly sang along with you. As too the Irish music. You did fabulously well to include in your repertoire 1970’s Minnie Riperton’s “Loving You” Stella appreciated all of your choices including your version of “Bridge over troubled Water” Friends Barry and Sandra appreciated everything including “All along the Watch Tower”. Once again thank you. Our guests attending remarked you had chosen the absolutely right mood for the occasion Thank you xx"

"Hope you’re good. We’ve just got back from the honeymoon and just wanted to drop you a quick message to say how wonderful it was to have you play at our wedding last weekend! Thank you so much! So many people commented on how incredible you were and ask how we found you! You really did make our day and thank you so much once again for learning “you and me song” it was so special! We will be recommending you to everyone we know and cannot wait to come to hear you again at a gig soon hopefully! Take care and thanks again - we loved it! "

"Swing Mode Vintage absolutely made our day: they were absolutely the perfect evening entertainment for our wedding! The music was really really cool, they had people up and dancing and just really brought a great atmosphere with them. It was fantastic. The band were all really kind and well organised; there was zero stress & zero faff. They got everything set up in good time including background music between the two sets. They took a special request for our first dance and it was really really wonderful. Overall we were just thrilled with the music: it was really really cool stuff - modern and funky, but most important just great fun!"

"We owe you and the band a very big thank you for playing for us on Saturday. Your efforts were hugely appreciated and so many of the guests came up to me to say what an excellent band you are and how they enjoyed dancing to your music. You made my evening very easy taking over the timings and announcements, and yourchoice of music was very popular. Thank you again for giving us such a memorable evening of dancing in a really rather splendid venue!"

"Hope you are prepared for my fun villagers attending my party on the 6th May. Everyone is so looking forward to it! I am enjoying my 70 birthday holiday in Barbados at the moment but will be home on Monday. It's like the lull before the storm! Head first into party planning next week. I will ring you Tuesday with final arrangements. Where will you stay or will you drive home on the night? We will discuss my favourites out of your repatoire, which is massive. I need to know what electrics you need and starting times etc. I have about 65 coming!! We have a Hog roast and puddings and marshmallows on the fire pit! It's all so exciting! Weather is looking dry at the moment, so hope it stays that way. Really looking forward to meeting you, love Janet Duddle."

"Blue Jewel played at our wedding two weeks ago and they were absolutely fantastic. They were the highlight of the wedding party for us and for many of the wedding guests. Lots of people joined in with the energetic music. Clear instructions for the dances made it easy for everyone to join in. Apart from how fun the celeidh itself was, the thing that we appreciated most of all about Blue Jewel - and the thing that stands out about them - is that it was so easy and stress-free to organise. A couple of emails prior to the wedding to confirm timings and cost (which was very reasonable), and then they turned up on time, were very polite and flexible about us running late with the rest of the wedding, played brilliant music and got everyone up dancing. There was no fuss or stress whatsoever. Absolutely brilliant. We would recommend Blue Jewel to anyone. "

"We went to see Agra play at Café Ventoux. They were brilliant absolutely mesmerising ?. Steve's original songs were beautiful and emotional and of these extraordinary times. When Amy sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow I felt as if I'd never heard it before - beyond beautiful. If you get a chance to see them, you won't regret it."

"We had an amazing time and everyone has said how much they enjoyed it. Even a couple of friends who were very sceptical of Ceilidhs were won over and had a great time! One of my American friends who had no experience of folk music just walked up to me and said 'This is the best thing since....just the best'."

"One of the leading British musicians in an American dominated scene who provided the spiritual and emotional heart with an extended Romanian-style improvisation. His playing, the versatility on display throughout the night... a reminder of the sheer power of great musicianship"

"I run a live music venue in the Midlands and I have had the absolute pleasure of having Unwritten Duo play at my place. They are an amazing couple with a lot of talent. I recommend this great duo for any occasion, I can't wait to see what they do in the future. 5*"

"We booked Funk With Us for our 30th wedding anniversary and the band completely exceeded our expectations. We were hoping to find a band that would play our favourite hits from the time we first met and the band made an effort to include those songs in their set. Our guests especially loved how engaging both singers and the musicians were, allowing guests to sing along with them! We are very happy we booked Funk With Us and will continue recommending them to our friends. Best of luck with everything, Keith & Rita"
