"We would just like to thank you very much for a brilliant evening of music and dancing at our wedding. We have had a lot of great feedback about how fun you were, you even made the ‘non-dancing’ people dance! We really enjoyed it, thank you very much."

"I'm pleased to recommend this band to you. Our students were reluctant to let them leave the stage and they were re-booked immediately. They provide superb entertainment and the music is excellent!"

"The band was not just performing; they were connecting with the audience. They brought a fun, lively atmosphere that was both professional and engaging. We received endless compliments on their performance."

" Black Velvet Band Irish Duo came to play at the Christmas Party for our CrossFit Gym held in the farmhouse on the site; they were easy and helpful to deal with from the start; everything clear and simple to follow. The performance was perfect for the occasion and Mike and his colleague were easy going and a pleasure to have around. They spent time with a guest who wanted to learn how to play one of the instruments and were great for getting people up and dancing. Thoroughly recommend the Irish Duo! "

"Davie, At last I am getting a minute to thank you and the guys for an excellent evening playing at our Silver Wedding at Meldrum House. The music was fabulous, everything we expected and more! All our guests have been telling us how much they enjoyed the band, even those not energetic enough to dance say that they very much enjoyed listening to you play. We were well and truly shoogled and I know I wasn’t the only one with aching muscles the next day! Great fun, thanks for helping to make our special occasion a huge success, we all had a fantastic time. The only complaint we had was that the party finished too soon!"

"Many thanks to you and all of DGB band for the energy and skill you brought to Saturday`s ceilidh. The band made the music seem effortless and you got people dancing without realising they'd been organised into it. Many thanks!"

"We are so grateful to Black Velvet Ceilidh Trio for making our fundraising ceilidh a great success with delightful music and dancing. The level of challenge of the dances was pitched just right to tempt our guests (who were aged from 4 to 84) to have a go – and they all came away with big smiles on their faces! Phil – the band’s friendly caller – gave just the right amount of instruction and then a quick recap before each dance and was happy to adapt dances to suit some of the children. Arrangements and payment were all handled professionally and efficiently. Thank you so much for helping us raise over £300 for our cause!"

"We enjoyed a great evening with the brilliant music and energy of Blue Jewell. Kip is a fabulous caller - clear, witty and energising - and the band are fabulous. Highly recommended for a fab evening of varied and inclusive ceilidh dancing."

"The band set the tone for an evening where everyone, but everyone, joined in the dancing in our village hall. There was an enormous variety in the types of dances, no fuss about who was meant to be standing on the right or left of their partner and lots of patience when dancers didn't initially get the hang of where to move. And probably best of all they were open to requests for dances outside their normal repertoire. A good night was had by all. Thanks!"

"A massive thank you to you all. Everyone said how much of a great time they had and all ages were dancing - even my god mother, who was 80 plus! The music selection and dances were spot on."

"We just had 3 Amigos play at our wedding this weekend! We couldn't have asked for a better band. Everyone was up on the dance floor and they absolutely smashed our first dance request. Couldn't rate these guys highly enough! "

"The performers were brilliant. Ours was a slightly different gig: a St Patrick's Day celebration just in our front room in a terraced house with a small (about 8 people) audience. They played without a p.a system and it was an intimate, enjoyable gig with everyone joining in with the songs. LMM were great: friendly, efficient and prompt with contracts and arrangements. I'd definitely do it again."

"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. "

"The Shooglers have played for us twice now and I can't wait to get them booked for next year! They have been a huge hit at both charity ceilidhs which we have organised, people attending telling us how great they thought they were. The band are so easy to work with, they are a friendly bunch and are very talented. Their music is fantastic, it's such a relief knowing that if anything else goes wrong on the night that the music will be first class. They have banter with the guests, and call dances brilliantly. They are definitely going to be the first people I get in touch with when I start organising next year's ceilidh. I'd recommend them to everyone, I've already passed on contact details to several people who loved their sound. Thanks again boys, can't wait to work with you again soon! :) Thanks again for an awesome ceilidh! "
