"I have personally known this band for more years than sometimes I want to remember. (I think about 25!). They have performed many times in all three establishments associated with my long career as a licensee. In addition, I have watched & listened to their music in numerous Castle Rock Pub outlets, in my capacity as director of said company. The band exhibit the kind of professional approach to their audience, no matter how big or small the venue, that would be an example to many other performers I have witnessed over the years. Playing with real passion, skill and flare, they embrace their audience into their world of Celtic music like no other. During their distinguished career, they have built up a seemingly endless repertoire of songs and tunes from their Celtic roots, and therefore every set played to faithful followers tends to be unique! All the members of this great band, both past and present, have become personal friends of mine and long may it continue. I have no hesitation in recommending Kellys Heroes to any establishment or agency."

"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. "

"The Guildhall Klezmer Band were absolutely fantastic and made our wedding day extra memorable. They created a fun and energetic atmosphere which made our guests want to get up and dance whilst their soulful emotive songs also brought tears to everyone’s eyes. We would highly recommend them."

"Absolutely amazing, they made our wedding reception something to remember. They went through each dance and made it easy to understand and caused the whole event to be relaxed. Will be recommending them to anybody who is after a ceilidh band."

"Thank you for your lovely performance, the evening was great!!! You were right, the wind & cold brought everyone into the barn to dance, chat & listen to your music!! Compliments from everyone, they loved your music, commented on how good it was to hear a really good live band! The sound was excellent, the caller was approachable, friendly & encouraging. Please do thank all your musicians, the caller & Remko for making the night such a success. And thank you to you for listening to what I requested & giving us all a most entertaining evening. I do wish you well with all your future plans for ‘Barn With Us’. With my good wishes! Penelope "

"Amazing performance and so easy to book and host. Contact was so easy leading up to the event, and was made so much simpler by them liaising with the reception event location directly to sort out logistics. The Ceilidh itself was incredible and just what my wife and I wanted! Great music and fantastic calling, Jake was so friendly and involved everyone in all the dances, which is just the inclusive atmosphere we wanted. They were also really accommodating when (inevitably) plans ran behind a little bit by the evening and the Ceilidh start needed nudging back 10 mins - which helped us out massively. Thoroughly recommend, had plenty of our guests asking who they were and where we found them!"

"The band were a pleasure to work with, professional but friendly. They set up very efficiently and discretely considering their arrival time was mid-meal. Considering they had a tricky audience demographic of 65-90 year olds, they managed to get people up on the dance floor with gentle encouragement, for a fabulous end to a great event. Would book again for sure. Thank you!"

"We had Ceilidh With Us for our wedding and they were utterly flawless!! Our guests were absolutely raving about the ceilidh; the band got everybody dancing and their energy and enthusiasm was electric. We had some specific requests relating to our first dance and they were utterly fantastic, doing everything we asked for. We are so glad we found these guys and Lilac was fantastic in her communication with us and making everything run smoothly. We would recommend them to everyone! Thank you so much for making our wedding so beautiful!!!!"
