"Our family just wanted to thank you and the band who played at Lindsay's wedding on Saturday night.Everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly, and the ceilidh was a perfect way of mixing the London youngsters with scots and Irish families.Your wife was very helpful in keeping things under control, especially at the end when the Barbican were initially reluctant to allow the power back on when the noise limiter was triggered.My cousin has already booked you for a birthday bash next June in the Wheatsheaf, so we look forward to get into training for another reeling occasion!"

"Funk With Us played at our wedding this weekend and they were absolutely FANTASTIC! High energy, super helpful and just a pleasure to work with, we cannot recommend them highly enough! Lilac and Remko both spoke with us in advance to get to know us a little better and find out more about the type of music we were interested in. Lilac gave us a call in the lead up, was available via whatsapp and was just generally super helpful. On the night of our wedding the dance floor was always filled with everyone singing and dancing along and having a really great time! So, so, so pleased we booked Funk With Us, thanks for making our wedding evening so awesome! Thanks Lilac, Remko and the rest of the band! "

"I would highly recommend It's No' Reel Ceilidh Band to anyone who wants to have a first class ceilidh experience! I use them evey year for our French exchange ceilidh and everyone loves their music; children, teenagers and parents alike! They explain the dances clearly so even our French visitors can take part and they play with such enthusiasm that the dance floor is never empty. They are reliable, professional and full of fun, so our ceilidh is always the highlight of our exchange week. Thank you guys - you do a fantastic job!"

"We booked It's No' Reel for our wedding at Balbirnie House in June 2015. We decided on them because of how good they sounded on their YouTube clips (their Game of Thrones theme was a real head turner!), the fact they didn't have a piper or an accordion (which we wanted to avoid) and their price. Tom who deals with the bookings was very professional and keen to tailor the evening to our needs. The minimum is a three piece with the option of adding other pieces as you like. We opted for a second violin as we thought the two violins together sounded awesome! The band offer ceilidh for as much of the night as you want, and after that they are happy to hook up their computer to the PA system and play a DJ set. We liked having the option in case our guests weren't feeling the ceilidh. As it was, we were having such a great time that we ceilidh-ed all night! It was an amazing night, made by the quality playing. Let's also not forget the quality calling so all the guests knew what they were doing! We have had so many compliments about the band's playing since the wedding. Thanks so much to you guys. Just great musicians who put the reel into our reception!"

"I meant to e-mail last week and say you and your band are bloody awesome! That was a total American thing to say, but honestly I am not just saying that you guys are great! My husband loved it too – he loves Pink Floyd so when you were singing The Wall through the ceilidh music it was brilliant. I totally love ceilidhs they’re great fun, and the current music at the end was really good too! I took a few of your cards so will defo be recommending you!! "

"Blue Jewel created a wonderful evening for our Golden Wedding party, which was enjoyed by all our family and friends. Everyone joined in the dancing and had such fun trying out new dances to the lovely music played by the band. We especially enjoyed the blessing dance which caused much hilarity and laughter. Thank you to Blue Jewel for a memorable and joyous evening. "

"We were so grateful to Fruin for their warmth, energy, and impressive musicality at our recent wedding! They stepped in at the very last minute, and we are so glad they did. What an absolute joy! We had lots of guests unfamiliar with Ceilidh dancing, but their Ceilidh Calling was so patient and clear; they ensured even the most uninitiated could have a great time. We really appreciated their efforts to keep the floor full of dancing! "

"100% book this band! We had so many compliments from guests asking where we found them. They sound amazing, get everyone dancing and we had the most perfect atmosphere in the evening. They are really responsive and organised in the planning and run up to the wedding so that part was also a breeze."

"Highly recommend Blue Jewel - they are a lively group and helped to make our wedding reception a fun and memorable one. When we first got in touch, Steve got back to us quickly and was very accommodating. The guys even learnt a couple of new songs to play as a medley for our first dance, with no fuss but great effort! :-)"
