"We celebrated our wedding at The Grange and we would like to thank you for helping to make our evening so enjoyable. Everyone said what a lovely idea a ceilidh band was and how brilliant it was that it included everyone. Thank you."

"For our wedding on 22nd April 2018 we had the absolute pleasure of having Blackbeard's Tea Party as our ceilidh band. They are an amazing band and had everyone up dancing throughout the ceilidh. If your planning on a ceilidh for your wedding then look no further they were professional throughout and we couldn't have asked for anything more!"

"Excellent from first to last contact regarding the booking. Very professional and on the ball - no waiting or chasing to see if the booking has been made or performer confirmed. Brilliant - have already recommended to people. The guests thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment and how Josh mingled with guests - superb performer. Thank you so much for making our day!"

"Such incredible talent in this band! Jack's distinctive voice is perfectly suited to Country, Scottish and Irish Folk and Deep South ballads, while Olivia's sweet vocals and impressive control will blow you away (she gives one of the best versions of Tennessee Whiskey I have ever heard!). Add in technically brilliant guitar playing, some harmonica, a double bass and some fiddle or mandolin, and you have a top-notch Country band at your event. Very clever arrangements of modern pop songs in a Country style with PMJ-like skill will have any crowd dancing. They are my go-to Country act in Scotland every time."

"We booked Kellys Heroes to play at our wedding earlier this year and we were not disappointed! Everyone at our wedding was up on the dance floor, dancing for the entire set, they're great musicians with a great set list. I think all of our guests could have gone on for the rest of the night. Everyone still tells us that it was one of the highlights of any wedding they've been to. Thank you! "

Hi Adam, Many thanks for your review! It was a privilege to play for you both on your big day and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and your guests. We hope to see you again on another occasion somewhere soon. KH.

"We had two wonderful ladies playing Irish music and songs at a home 21st birthday party. We had the BEST time thank you, and you guys really made the party. We’ve had such fab compliments from all the youngsters who really enjoyed your tunes - a mixture of trad folk songs and modern - and absolutely loved the couple of Ceilidh dances (even after a few drinks!) which you led so well for us, super fun. Thanks to you both for making it all so special. You really are spot on with your tunes and very talented musicians and singers. I will never understand how you can play three instruments at one time and make it all sound and feel so good. AMAZING and I would recommend for any event, young or old."

"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!"

"We owe you and the band a very big thank you for playing for us on Saturday. Your efforts were hugely appreciated and so many of the guests came up to me to say what an excellent band you are and how they enjoyed dancing to your music. You made my evening very easy taking over the timings and announcements, and yourchoice of music was very popular. Thank you again for giving us such a memorable evening of dancing in a really rather splendid venue!"

"This is the second time we have booked the Black Velvet Band for our summer ceilidh, and it was such fun! The band ran two different dancing sessions for our international students and were very patient with explaining the dances and encouraging all students to participate. The music was brilliant and energetic, and all three band members were so kind and even paused for a photoshoot with the students. We are looking forward to next summer already. I’d absolutely recommend them for any event/party/celebration!"

"Dear Mike, Jason and Terry (in no particular order) Thank you so much for your part in a lovely evening. I realise now what a creative act a barn dance is, requiring co-operation (co-ercion??!) (gently done!!) from all sorts of assorted people. We had a fabulous time, and I shall treasure the looks of thorough enjoyment on each of the dancers’ faces. "

"Kip and the Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band played two fabulous sets at our wedding reception. Our friends don't need too much encouragement to get up and dancing, but the band made sure the floor was always full of happy, smiling people. Everyone had a blast and even those who had never done a ceilidh before declared themselves fully converted by the end of the evening. It was wonderful!"

"Wow what a night of fantastic entertainment!! It is safe to say that Lilac made our event with customers raving at how good the music was and the energy she bought to our event was through the roof. Lilac is a must if you’re looking for a talented and exceptional musician. A definite re-hire for us."
