"We wanted to let you know that the wedding went fantastically well yesterday and (apart from the bride and groom) the band were the stars. It was a good idea to put up the marquee which was big enough to house the ensemble and have quite a few dancers celebrating. The ensemble were really accommodating and played Klezmer, Jazz, and other popular tunes for our very mixed wedding hosts and guests. We were delighted by their charm, easy going nature and obvious skill and professionalism."

"No one talks about our wedding without mentioning the Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band. These talented musicians provided the perfect end to the perfect day. Somehow everyone, even the shyest of our guests, got up and danced the night away with the infectious enthusiasm of the band. The ceilidh provided a relaxed, fun way for all of our guests to mix and meet one another, and allowed us to dance with everyone! Both myself and my husband adore folk music, and we could not have chosen a friendlier, more talented band than the Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band. A particular highlight was when the band performed a traditional wedding piece, where all of our guests danced around us who were sat in the middle! I cannot recommend this band enough, wonderfully warm people with superb talent. Obviously we were on a budget paying for a whole wedding, but these guys are very reasonably priced and deliver much more than the price we paid. Thank you all very, very much for giving us the wedding reception we dreamed of."

"I just wanted to thank you and the guys for their work last Thursday. They were awesome and we loved them. We're also really pleased we picked Klaus as the replacement singer as his style and personality were exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. We had lots of great feedback from guests about the band as a whole and for Klaus's solo set. If you ever need a testimonial for the band or Klaus, don't hesitate to let me know. Also, great work on our song for the first dance, as I know it was a rarity and the music was very hard to find. "

"Hi Davie, A massive thank you to The Shooglers for playing at our wedding. We were impressed with how you managed to herd 100 clueless folk around the dancefloor and we've definitely converted some to loving a good ceilidh. We're happy to send testimonials if needed. Such an amazing night deserves praise! All the best! "

"We had an amazing time and everyone has said how much they enjoyed it. Even a couple of friends who were very sceptical of Ceilidhs were won over and had a great time! One of my American friends who had no experience of folk music just walked up to me and said 'This is the best thing since....just the best'."

"We hired Dermot to play at our wedding last week as a duo. We wanted an Irish band to play during our canapés & drinks reception, all our guest said how fantastic they were & enjoyed the music. Dermot was very professional & had everyone up dancing. We will most definitely be recommending them to family & friends. Thank-you so much Dermot. "
