"The Northern Ceilidh band performed at our wedding reception and were fabulous! Jon and the others are extremely talented musicians, and Joyce an experienced and engaging caller. The dance floor for the ceilidh was full from start to finish, and our guests had so much fun. Prior to the wedding, Jon and Joyce went to the trouble of videoing a sequence for us so that we could practice a ‘first dance’ with friends. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Wonderful people, wonderful musicians and a wonderful night of dancing. If you’re looking for a fantastic Ceilidh band, look no further! "

"For the past four years, we have employed the services of It's No' Reel' Ceilidh Band. Given the fact that we have several visitors from overseas locations, Tom shows great patience and discretion when calling out the dance steps and making sure everyone knows their steps. I've had lots of compliments regarding the success of our events. I personally would have no hesitation in recommending them for any occasion."

"Just realized that with all the end of term chaos I hadn't said thank you for getting our picnic up and dancing!! Thanks also for saving the day by arriving early at short notice when Britain's summer threw the best at us (and then some!!) and for being so flexible when things were so up in the air on arrival...definitely all the right decisions were made and everyone had a ball. We've had loads of great comments and I hope you were pleased with how many people joined in at such an early hour."

"A fantastic performance from a group of really talented musicians, producing a medley of folky, indie, soulful and uplifting tunes. They had the whole party singing, dancing and wanting more! Great people as well, we couldn't recommend them highly enough. "

"I have booked Danny at a number of bars and restaurants that I have managed and have also been massively impressed by his quality. So much so that I booked him for our wedding. He was perfect. He performed during our meal with many people stopping to watch. I made a number of song requests which caused no problem for the other talented singer. I would recommended to anyone."

"The Blue Jewel Ceilidh band were fantastic and really made our event. They got everyone up dancing and dealt with with a large group of people. Somehow they got us all dancing in formation and getting most of the steps correct! This was a fund raising event for us so it was important to have a value for money band and to run an event that people enjoyed and would remember. Blue Jewel certainly achieved this. The feedback from guests was that they had a fantastic time and would attend a similar event next year. The fact several of our guests asked for Blue Jewel's contact details also speaks of how popular they were. Thank you again for helping us run such a successful and enjoyable event."

"These guys have a great repertoire of over 80 songs but what makes them stand out is their ability to engage the audience. Providing chorus sheets helped but everyone was really up for joining in and it was clear they were having great fun too. A brilliant night!!"

"‘We just wanted to say thank you so much for playing at our chuppah. The aisle song was absolutely beautiful and made our ceremony so special. As I'm sure you saw everyone loved the simcha set. It really gave the simcha a good energy and everyone loved it! Gabby & Dave’"

"Thank you Jon, Joyce and team. Everything was superb. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - we got the dancing we wanted and those who [strange people] preferred to natter did so. A few littlies were hopefully introduced to the most civilised form of exercise."
