"First time having Blue Jewel (have had other ceilidh's in the past) and have to say Steve and the band were brilliant, so much so thinking what excuse for a party we can make so we can have them again! Thank you for a fantastic night, will definitely recommend "

"Well, we went along to the Clutha benefit gig in The Classic Grand, there were such a choice of great bands to choose from on 2 floors, The Mrs & myself were downstairs as it was mostly rock bands and we had a seat, so the bands changed again & again until I heard the next band was a Ceilidh band, quite a few were looking around sort of laughing as if how’s this gonna fit in with the night, so there's now quite a few people sitting down waiting, so on comes as expected the usual accordion,fiddle,drummer & guitarist set up, and then it began, the accordion started then in came the fiddle then this electric rock guitar and ass kicking rock drum beat, and low and behold before you know it everybody's on their feet standing poking their heads up and down to see who the hell was making this amazingly blended sound of rock & Scottish folk, the accordion player’s fingers were impossible to track as they rolled up and down the board, and the fiddle was just about glowing to match, topped off with a great guitar and drums, with bits of Pink Floyd through to Miley Cyrus flung in, hard to believe but true, and all served up for your ears to savour at 100 mph, the whole place became electric, it was amazing to listen to and stunning to watch, I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed this band, We got talking to David (the accordion player) and his family afterwards and found him such a laugh & such a nice family, highlight of the night, so thanks to The Shooglers your time & talent is very well spent and it shows, cheers.

"The band were absolutely amazing and all our guests kept asking us who they were and were full of praise! Claire is an amazing singer and the rest of the band were awesome too! We had the 4 piece band and they were so professional and talented! They’ve made our wedding day fantastic and we’re so thankful! Definitely the best money we've spent on our wedding. We ended the night on such a high. Thanks again!"

"Warm and confident performers of a wide range of covers and self-penned music. I’ve seen them three times now, and they always leave me wanting more."

"These guys blew us away. They were ridiculously good, they let our friend sing a song, they were just seamless and endlessly talented. We would recommend these guys to anyone who wants real finger-clicking music that creates a wonderful atmosphere and pours magic into your big night. These guys blew us away. Seriously, they were amazing. We could not have loved Dai and the guys more."

"Hi Alex, We can’t thank you enough for such an excellent evening last Saturday. The music and leading is tremendous and everyone really enjoyed themselves so much. You are firmly in our address book and talk of a future event in the field is already underway. I would also highly recommend you to everyone. How far do you travel for a gig? Wishing much luck for the future and hope to be enjoying your music again soon. July 2026"

"Well handled and so well played! Thank you for the excellent music and reels last Friday - we have had several thank you letters already saying how much people enjoyed it and what a hoot it was even though they realised they could not do it at all!! For many it was their first try and I hope not their last. We were just pleased they were happy to give it a go. I was so grateful you had the tact to realise what was required and not be insulted or frustrated by the lack of ability to follow your commands!"

"We're all still talking about the wedding and how much fun the dancing was. And for those of us who went over not knowing the Alexander family and friends, switching up partners was such a fun way to interact and get talking to people."
