"You need to hear these guys! We wanted a band that would be able to get both our grandparents and our little nieces and nephews on the dance floor and they did not fail. The band were perfect for our wedding and we wish we could do the whole night again! "

"We saw you a while back at sewerby whilst visiting my daughter and her family. You were absolutely great and even sang happy birthday to my disabled grandson. Would love to hear if you’re coming to Nottingham where I live. Once again great music"

"They were lovely people and everyone there enjoyed their music. It was a Country Fair and due to their efforts we had people dancing on the grass with straw bales around to sit on. Happy people! Job well done. Thank you. We would certainly book them again for another event."

My mum had a brilliant time and I managed to create the night I had planned in my head. So much so she couldn't sleep for the following 2 nights with the excitement of it all!!! Thanks for everything see you at another function maybe?!"

"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"

"Liam was asked to sing and play acoustically for my mums memorial at the "lost village of Dode" near Gravesend. As part of the set he was asked to learn and play two songs he had not played before, the songs were all folk ballads. I was slightly apprehensive about getting the right person for my mum's memorial but after my initial contact with Liam I knew he was the chap! On all communication he showed sensitivity and a strong will to play what we desired. On the day he played with great accomplishment and musicality. The tone, sound and timing were perfect. Many of the congression complimented me afterwards on the choice of musician. Thank you Liam for contributing to make such a special occasion that will be held in our memories."

"This band is absolutely incredible both live and recorded. Live, they are hugely versatile and highly engaging, getting the audience on their feet dancing and singing along, or sitting back in awe as Amy hits those stunning high notes in Somewhere over the Rainbow. Their studio recordings are absolutely magical, I have them on repeat on all my playlists! My absolute favourite is Fotheringay for which they have a beautifully haunting music video too. Their own original songs are also absolutely fantastic, of indistinguishable quality from their covers. A great band recommended for any occasion."

"A note of thanks to you, Ben & Mike for a great performance at our wedding party on Saturday. You played a great selection of music, got everyone up dancing and numerous positive comments have been received from our guests. Rosie & I cant thank you enough for a great night, and would definitely book you again in the future. Thanks again, we know you guys travelled a long way to be there which is very much appreciated. All the best to you and your band"

"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."

"Second time we have heard Blue jewel - the first at their recent gig in the Stoke Gabriel Village hall just last Saturday they put on a Ceilidh Dance for our wedding reception. Really great on both occasions - super caller for our dance - just right for the many who had never done folk dancing and on both occasions their enthusiasm and light touch really made for a great evening. Would recommend for any occasion "

"The band performed for us on Saturday 3rd at our wedding and were absolutely incredible. They were better than anything we could have imagined. Everyone commented on how great they were and there was never a moment when the dance floor was empty. They were extremely organised with the run up to the wedding. We had an acoustic duo for the drinks reception which was beautiful. Then we has the four piece band for the main part of the wedding. I couldn't recommend anyone else more highly."

"Dear Francis and Janet – I just wanted to write and thank you both for such a lovely, friendly and ebullient performance on Sunday – it was just as I hoped – your cheerfulness and choice of material was spot on and I had lots of remarks afterwards as to how much everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you so, so much for all that you did to help the occasion along. It was absolutely great. If we have another “do” at Roffey Park I will be sure to try and book you. You were amazing."
