"We recently hosted a Wild West themed party. Sounds With Us helped us find just the right band, with a caller to add to the fun of the theme with line dancing and barn dancing, as well as sourcing a rodeo bull to complete the theme and the entertainment. From start to end it was a very easy process and it was wonderful to have Sounds With Us to call up when we had concerns even on the evening of the event itself. I would definitely use them again for future parties."

"The Skippers are amazing! We booked them for our wedding in France this summer and couldn't have been happier with our choice. They sounded exactly like what we wanted and delivered a fantastic performance that kept all of our guests dancing into the early morning. Hire them - you will not regret it! Simply fantastic."

"Thank you for a fantastic gig at the Insignio social event. Managers of the University Arms kept asking who you were since you sounded so great. I really liked that apart from playing your own songs, you did covers as well. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and other pubs. "

"Their musical skills and connection are amazing and produced pieces timed to perfection. Bonnie’s voice lends itself brilliantly to the range of songs they chose. Some of the covers were surprising and just worked beautifully – I would listen to their version of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” and La Roux’s “Bulletproof” all day! The audience were drawn in and Bonnie had us singing along to one of their own songs and clapping to others. After the set ended there was unanimous demand for more and they played a storming encore of The Stone Roses “She Bangs the Drums” followed by Mary Hopkin’s “Those were the Days” which everyone spontaneously joined in with. Great music, great fun and everyone smiling as they left. You can’t ask for more from a night out!"

"Following many hours of researching for a ceilidh band for our wedding (August 2021), we decided on Blue Jewel. After an evening of brilliant music, lively calling and enthusiastic dancing, we now simply cannot recommend them enough. They are an incredibly friendly group who worked in partnership with us on the day to help create an evening that we will never forget. With a series of different dances (led by clear and directive calling), all creating a sea of smiles and energy, they are an incredibly talented group. And even despite a slight delay in the timings (from our side), they were both patient and understanding. "

"Their ability, at short notice, to turn up and turn in a stonking evening of fine music, laced with wit, anecdotes and reminiscences. Recommended to anyone who enjoys fine-trad music played with enthusiasm and enjoyment. "

"Once again, I would like to thank you on behalf of all crew members for your wonderful performance on board of the HANSEATIC inspiration. Your visit was very much appreciated and a surprise for everybody on board. Unfortunately, the guests who were on excursion could not listen to your fascinating music. A lot of listeners came to me after the harp concert and highlighted your skills on one of the most beautiful instruments ever built. Your impressive melodies will remain unforgettable for our Hanseatic inspirations new destination. Your great performance and the cannon salute as we left the harbour have made our stay very special. We sincerely thank you and hope to see you again soon in the beautiful city of Portland. With gratitude and best regards Anja Fortmann Guest Relation Manager HANSEATIC inspiration"

"We just wanted to say thank you to yourself and the band for being part of our big day. You were absolutely superb from start to finish and as you could probably tell from all the dancing, our guests absolutely loved all your music too! You got people up there dancing who I've never seen on a dance floor before. We've had nothing but compliments about what a great idea it was to have you perform at the wedding. Thank you again, we will never forget it! Kind Regards Rob & Jade Clarke "
