Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"We had an amazing night thanks to Blue Jewel. Our international students had never seen or heard of a ceilidh before, but after a little convincing they joined in with the first dance. By the time it came to the second dance, they all wanted to join in and then danced for hours. The band were so great at explaining what to do, especially to students who are learning English, and making them laugh - plus playing wonderful lively music! "

"Great choice of material. Mat Walklate’s harmonica playing is astoundingly proficient throughout and Matt Fahey’s vocal take on My Bonny Boy Is Young is a stand out track. It gets my vote for album of the year."

"Hired for a Ceilidh at our wedding. Super easy to organise and on the day the band and callers were lovely. Adapted very quickly when everyone was getting too hot and we managed to do the rest of the sets outside which was amazing."

"It was our first visit to the Harry Paye celebrations in Poole & we found you guys (Murphy's Lore Trio) by sheer luck! We were there to join in with the Pirates shenanigans on Saturday, but wanted to enjoy any Friday night rampaging that might be going on first! You had the whole pub alive & dancing with your superb music, so thanks from us, Terry & Julie & we hope to see you somewhere again soon?"

"I just wanted to get in touch regarding the above booking for our wedding to thank you and your team very much indeed for such a fantastic job providing the ceilidh music. The music itself was absolutely first rate and a number of guests have specifically complemented us on this. You made a very valued contribution to such a special day for us and the atmosphere in the room when the dancing was in full swing was just brilliant. A particularly memorable moment of the whole day for me was the packed dance floor giving it their all to a Strip the Willow with the James Bond theme tune being worked into the music - absolutely superb! "

"Walking down the aisle to the beautiful melodies of "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "Here, There and Everywhere" played on the harp made me feel incredibly emotional. Inspired by Phoebe Buffay's bridal entrance songs on my favourite tv show "Friends", these enchanting tunes were brought to life by the amazing and talented Luisa."

"Such a fun dancing evening! The ceilidh was a definite highlight of our wedding. Everyone joined in and had at amazing time. It was lovely to see all our guests dancing and laughing together. The band went out of their way to ensure our wedding celebrations went smoothly - they helped us with the cake cutting, our first dance and had a lovely surprise for us at the end! Highly recommend."

"After a decade or so in London, he has lost none of his native musical ability on accordion or as a bel canto tenor. The duo's irreverence, including introducing Harrison's virtuoso violin flourishes as if playing at the Queen Vic, and sundry comic turns, help give their musical sketches a real sense of pace. Yet for all their larking around, when the music demands gravitas and expression, it's there in spades."

"Hi Gordon, Happy new year! Apologies for the delay in getting back to you we've just got home from our wedding. Thank you so much for playing at our wedding and being patient with ourselves and guests trying to learn some of the dances! It was so much fun and our guests told us how much they enjoyed themselves. Thanks again and all the best for the new year. "

"Céilí Max are an incredibly talented group of musicians. Their technical skill was clear from the moment they opened our party, but along with that came a vibrant and personal approach to entertaining the room. All of our guests were up on the floor dancing and they truly made the night!"
