".Godalming gig..... Dear Fiddlestix This is to thank you and the band for the great playing on Saturday evening. Please pass on our thanks to all the players. Our friends and family all really enjoyed the dancing. Please pass on our thanks to all the players and to the caller who helped keep us all on our toes. I was sorry not to have had more time to talk to you myself but I hope you felt you had been well treated with food and drinks throughout the evening. Many thanks for helping to make our celebration so successful. With best wishes Sheila"

"Saw this band on Saturday 4th October. Great tribute to Shania. Female vocalist superb. Musicianship also excellent. So refreshing to have true authentic music played live rather than the many karaoke acts around today. Great fun vibes and loads of dancing! "

"I just wanted to send you a message to say how fantastic Alba Ceilidh Band were at our party on Saturday night - a large number of our guests (quite a lot of whom are musicians) commented on how good the band were. And they couldn't have been friendlier or more accommodating with the way the evening ran. Thanks again - we would definitely recommend this band to friends and family."

"Black Velvet Irish Trio were absolutely fantastic! They had the entire room up singing and dancing for both sets. They played a great mix of upbeat Irish songs and traditional classics and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the performance. We received lots of positive feedback from our customers both in person and on social media. We will book them again!"

"A ceilidh was the perfect way to kick off the evening festivities at our wedding. We loved seeing guests of all ages getting involved, having a laugh, getting it right and wrong but always with enthusiasm! Our caller Adam was so energetic and lots of guests commented on how good he was. We had such fun and would recommend the excellent band for a memorable experience"

"Just a quick line to extend our thanks to you, the caller and your band colleagues for a fantastic night on Saturday - everyone had a great time, and we are most grateful for the use of your PA for music in between dances, that really made a difference and we thank you for staying so late for this. Kindest regards David and Alex"

"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!"

"Just a short email to say many thanks for the music and dancing on Saturday at Childerley. I hope you could tell we all had a great time - were we any less competent than most people at the dancing?? As far as I know, only one person fell over, and we have to blame too much champagne for that. The whole event went fantastically well, and your part in it was much appreciated. Should the opportunity arise, we will book your group again, and recommend you if we know of anyone else having a “do” in your area. A lot of fun was had by both dancers and spectators. "

"Just wanted to say thank you to the Black Velvet Irish Band. For the second year in a row, Eddy, Mike and Johnny were an absolute crowd pleaser and everyone had a brilliant time on St Patrick’s Day at The Water Poet in Spitalfields, London! Charlotte Prior"

"We had such a great time with the band at our wedding last weekend! All our guests had a great laugh and really loved the dancing. We may not have a career in dancing but it definitely was fun! We also really appreciate the band calling out a dance for our first dance. It was so much nicer than swaying on a dance floor to a slow song in front of everyone. "

"What can we even say? How fabulous was last night! You guys were amazing and we had such a great time. We’ve had fabulous feedback and everyone wants to know when we are having another Hoedown (for which we will of course book you guys again). You were all fabulous. Such talented musicians and a real sense of good fun! Thank you so much for playing our requests and also to the caller who made the dances brilliant – we all had so much fun! I hope that you enjoyed it and that you found us a good crowd. We will, I’m sure, be in touch again. Thank you to you all."

"Paul was recommended to us by a former colleague. He provided a strong three-piece band to lead a ceilidh at our wedding reception. For an intergenerational group of mixed-ability dancers (including some with no ability) he was encouraging, clear in his verbal instructions, and the band uplifting and rhythmic. Just about everybody participated in the dancing at some point or another in the evening, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Communication with Paul at all stages was straightforward and easy, and I would heartily recommend him and his ensemble should anybody be considering commissioning a ceilidh!"
