Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"This is the second year running we have used the Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band for our St Patrick''s party, and they were a huge hit again. We had our biggest turnout for an event, making it a very successful fundraiser. A big part of this was people wanting to join in with the Ceilidh fun again, having experienced the band last year. The music and calling were excellent, and the dances were great fun. It was great to try some new dances too. Our guests were already talking about next year as they left!"

"A general consensus put your slot at the top of the list for the w/e, closely followed, I must add, by the hog! Thank you so much for making us all smile – everyone loved the music and commented on the brilliant “calling” – a bright lady! I have given your name to several folk, but I wasn’t able to tell them how far you travel for a gig, as many of our friends live in the Bristol area. Thanks again for helping to make our 60th birthday party so memorable."

"Hi Fiddlestix! We absolutely loved our barn dance and had the most amazing time!! Thankyou all so very much and thanks again for performing the special song for us to all have a slow dance to, we really appreciated it!!!!! All our guests said how lovely the whole thing was! I just felt so awful that you didn’t get your platter of food, I’m so so sorry, I promise you it was all arranged and paid for but the pub completely forgot apparently, I was not best pleased!! There wasn’t even enough food for the rest of the guests really as so many more came than we anticipated!!!!! Anyway thanks again for being amazing ❤️ Love Zoe and Hannah xxx "

"I’ve been Mrs Donnelly for 2 weeks now and I’m still smiling from how lovely our wedding was which is mainly thanks to you and your band mates. Our family and friends and still talking about the day and how great the BM Ceilidh Band was. The atmosphere you created was just what we wanted and you were wonderful when the singer didn’t turn up. We can’t thank you enough."

"We are so glad we booked Ceilidh With Us for their wedding. They were so quick to respond to any queries and we were able to choose a couple of our favourite dances to include on the day."

"My husband and I were delighted with Blue Jewel who recently played at our wedding reception. Kip was quick to reply to all communications, relaxed at the event (we were running 15 mins behind), and was fantastic at making guests feel involved by learning names and getting the children to do a demonstration. He also followed my request to have a last dance to say goodbye to our guests. It was just what we wanted. Thank you Kip and Co! "

"Thank you on behalf of the Parish Council for providing such a wonderful display of musicianship and fantastic choice of dances for our Late Summer Shindig. I was slightly nervous as we hadn’t done anything like this before but from the moment I heard the first strains of the fiddle I knew it would be fine. Who would be able to resist getting up to dance? Thank you too for sage advice as to the format and for being very much a part of the proceedings – it helped to know we were in good hands. The feedback was very encouraging and even those who were resolutely shy about dancing succumbed in the end. All down to the magic of the music. Thank you again!"

"Hi Davie, Just a quick note to say thank you very much for playing at our wedding last month. We absolutely loved the music and the dancing, in particular the Cumberland Square 8, as did all our guests! It was great to you as part of the day and we will definitely recommend you wholeheartedly to others. We look forward to seeing The Shooglers at an event sometime soon!!! "

"We booked Funk With Us for our 30th wedding anniversary and the band completely exceeded our expectations. We were hoping to find a band that would play our favourite hits from when we first met and the band made an effort to include those songs in their set. Our guests especially loved how engaging both singers were, with the odd friend taking the mic and the lead! We are very happy for booking Funk With Us and will definitely recommend them to our friends."

"You played at my sister Tanya's wedding and I just wanted to say we thoroughly enjoyed the music. Unfortunately, we had to leave early, so missed lots of more good toons!!! Thanks again! "

"Great folk duo played one of my events I organised in my community worth booking and listening to very much a unique and different sound from many other bands/duos"

"Everyone had a jumping-up-and-down, shaking-the-building-to-its-foundations good time with Kellys Heroes at The Star in Beeston!"

"As a discerning Aussie listener, I think Paddy is awesome. Great range of songs mainly covering the decades I like most pre 2000. He is a great compere, bit of a comedian. Mostly great musician who puts his all into the performance. Would definitely recommend booking him. "

"Thank you for the wonderful ceilidh on our wedding day. Everyone had such a fun time and loved the dancing, even those of us who had never done it before! You provided just what we wanted for the special day, despite being so close to Christmas and with terrible weather, and it was a highlight of the evening. All the best! "
