"Lucy performed everything from our ceremony music to the evening and it was absolutely incredible and loved by all! Any request was never too much to do and her personal music we loved! Everyone at the wedding said we nailed our music choice! If I could do it all again, Lucy and her band would be booked again and again.."

"We cannot say enough good things about this band!! Fantastically skilled, wonderful musicians that created a warm, fun atmosphere from the moment they arrived at our venue. Every single one of our guests has commented since about how wonderful the music was and what a good job the caller Kip did of bringing everyone together and talking us through the steps in a relaxed but clear manner. The music the band played was varied and appropriately chosen for our style of wedding reception and EVERYBODY got involved and had a dance - the music really brought people together and created a wonderful atmosphere all evening. This band are amazing and excellent value for money, and we won't hesitate to hire them again at our next big gathering. Thank you so much Blue Jewel for giving us a magical evening, you were the cherry on our wedding cake!"

"We had seen this band before booking them for our wedding, so we had the highest expectations of them and somehow they still managed to surpass them! An absolutely perfect choice for our special day. Do not underestimate the impact of a good ceilidh band for a wedding or other party function as it breaks the ice amongst all the guests and never fails to get everyone up dancing, whether sober or not-so-sober! We only married yesterday and already have guests messaging us requesting The Blue Jewel's details!"

"Dear Fiddlestix You were all BRILLIANT Saturday night! Thank you SO much, everyone really enjoyed your music and the dancing. Your caller must have had such a sore throat the next day (!), and I adored your little lady on that MASSIVE double bass! Thank you SO much for making my party such a success. You were fantastic, and I hope we can do something similar again soon. Maybe my husband's 60th in two years' time. Thank you SO much!!! Lots of love, Victoria xxxx "

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Viv’s 50th Birthday Ceilidh – January 2025 We had an amazing evening. Dan, Ned and Heather were brilliant. Firstly Dan was incredibly helpful and reassuring when I spoke to him a few weeks in advance. He was very relaxed but also incredibly reassuring that it would be fun and go well! He was very warm and I felt ‘everything would be alright’! They came very promptly and set up very unobtrusively. The music was perfect and Ned was a fantastic caller. He drew people in so well and had a very relaxed manner, he made it very enjoyable. Dan on the guitar and Heather on the fiddle were excellent! We had a fantastic evening of dancing with them. So many of our guests commented on how they made it such fun. They made it a great success. I highly recommend them."

"We had a wonderful time at our wedding with Chris and the Rejigged band. The musicians and caller were very skilled and catered for a range of tastes and abilities. Throughout the run up to the wedding, they were extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful, making the planning process much easier. Thank you to all involved. Kind regards, Helen (Wedding reception, Egerton Village Hall 14th Sept. 2019) "

"Iron Broo played at our wedding in July 2017 with 3 piece band and disco. They made the night, we’d highly recommend them! My wife and I loved them, and we still get great feedback from guests. Iron Broo are everything you want in a traditional Scottish ceilidh band but also with some unique twists to make them memorable (their Orcadian Strip the Willow is awesome!). Going to their Xmas Ceilidh and can’t wait to dance to their tune again. Many thanks Iron Broo :)"

"A huge (and delayed) thank you to The Shooglers for making our wedding an absolute hoot! Despite being ceilidh novices, Davie and his fellow The Shooglers kept us right! Even had the Chinese side up and dancing! Thanks, guys! "

"Davie and the gang were absolutely phenomenal!! They performed an hour and a half ceilidh at our wedding, followed by an hour of cover tunes. They provided such a great energy to the day, the dance floor was packed all night long, and the mash up of ceilidh tunes and rock anthems were so great! I had many guests saying what a great band they were, and people were buzzing to hear Muse and Pink Floyd mixed in! Would 100% recommend The Shooglers to perform at any and all events, they were absolutely class! Many thanks again"

"We wanted to say thank you to The Northern Reel Collective for our fantastic wedding reception. We thoroughly enjoyed it. There were many there who had never taken part in a ceilidh before and said how much the enjoyed it. "
