"We booked Americana for our anniversary Barn Dance which was attended by around 200 people. They had a caller who helped everyone learn the steps. It was a great evening! We had the opportunity to discuss what was wanted directly with the band prior to the event which was helpful and reassuring. The band subsequently put together a great set with a fabulous selection of songs which were performed brilliantly. The interval music was also well received. We had nothing but positive feedback from our guests, so a successful evening! Very happy with our choice of band for this special event."

"A “big thank you” to the band for a wonderful, memorable day that made our wedding day unforgettable! Everyone enjoyed the music and the dancing. Even the left footed miseries got up to have a go, driven by your music and the attitude of the band. Pete particularly loved “The Greenfields of France” and “The Tweed”. He’s been singing them for days, driving me crazy! We can’t think of any one else that would have made our day so wonderful, (except Rod Stewart in person for Sue!), so thank you once again. It would not have been the same without you all! We look forward to seeing you soon. Meanwhile, keep up the good work!"

"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!"

"Mick and the boys really made the evening of our wedding. The music was brilliant and they tailored the calling and dances for a mixed crowd of ceilidh veterans to first timers. Friendly, funny and engaging, everyone had a great time and I wouldn’t hesitate in booking them again for any other function – thanks again for a great evening!!"

"Lovely group, very relaxed and polite. Read the room well and got everyone dancing. Thank you, it really was a wonderful day. Although we booked quite last minute, they learnt our first dance song which was a brilliant version."

"Rowan provided background music before and during the ceremony and played a song I requested for walking down the aisle- it was beautiful. Piper was fantastic! We had the quartet for the ceilidh and it was brilliant! I loved every minute, and so did my guests! Highly recommend! "

"Words cannot describe how pleased we are about the exceptional entertainment provided by Dave, Mike and Gerry at our wedding in Durham. Their fantastic repertoire truly added a special and unique touch to our evening, and provided many of our guests from all corners the world a wonderful introduction to British folk music. Not to mention how patient and friendly their caller Dave was especially in teaching the dances to our guests, many of whom had never danced a Ceilidh before. In addition, their cheerfulness and easygoing disposition really helped us and our guests have a marvellous time. To this day, our guests still constantly praise the ceilidh music provided during the evening. Thank you so much and we would recommend them over and over again to anyone seeking quality entertainment for any event."

"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."

"The Tommy Aces recently performed at our national launch event at the Southbank Centre and they were outstanding. They were talented, fun and a major talking point for the evening"

"What a wonderful evening! I’m sorry not to have written before now, but this is my first opportunity for saying a big thank you to you and the band for an excellent evening’s entertainment last Saturday. Everyone, who has passed comment to me, said what a vast improvement Montana Rain was compared with our previous band, and from your results of getting people up and moving, I can only endorse that commendation! I look forward to contacting you early to book you for next year’s Square Dance."

"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding - you were fantastic and we had a wonderful time dancing with our guests! The evening was perfect, everything we had wished for. Everyone said how much they enjoyed it and you could really tell from all the laughing and smiling that the guests were having a great time. Some people had never been to a ceilidh before and I think they are now hooked! The music was wonderful and we really appreciated you playing some French folk dances for the French side of the family. From the moment we got in touch with you we knew you were the right band choice, as you were so friendly and professional. You went out of your way to make sure the evening went as planned. Thank you especially for letting us steal you away from your set-up to play us a few maypole tunes and for staying and helping us with the after ceilidh disco. Wishing you lots of good luck in the future and if we ever plan another ceilidh we know who to call!"
