"Hello! You played at our wedding at the Ghillie Dhu on 6th October. Just wanted to thank you so much for the amazing music which created such a buzz and atmosphere that I'll never forget!! You were absolutely fantastic and the talk of the day. All of our guests including the ones who admitted that they "hate a ceilidh", all said you were absolutely amazing and by far the best ceilidh band they had ever heard. Massive thanks again to you all!!! Xx "

"the New Fox Band were phenomenal at our wedding. They are brilliant musicians and learnt a special request for our first dance. They played 2 very entertaining sets that kept the dance floor full all night, while giving instructions clear enough for a large group of not-so-sober guests! It really made the evening, I would 100% recommend them to anyone"

"For the third year The Brixham Pirate Festival will have The Extonions playing on the Main Stage. Pirates are a discerning crew and The Extonions had them a jiggin' and toe tappin' throughout their set. HUZZAH!!!"

Reply by Irish Band: The Extonions
Thank younRuss , while it lasted under your management, we though roughly enjoyed every moment as did the crowd. People often ask why we are not playing anymore on the main stage, and we have to say, we don't know.

"Lilac, Rem and the band were amazing! From start to finish, they were helpful and knowledgeable. They know how to throw a party. Lilac taught us all several fun line dances. The dance floor was packed at all times. Thank you so much!!!"

"Booked them for my wedding reception Oct 2017. To be honest, they were really quite rude, especially Mick who led it. They arrived grumpy, ate loads of the food without asking, complained a lot, and one of them went around grabbing our guests to get them to dance. I don't consider myself fussy... but I expected more as a paying customer on my wedding day. Music was good to be fair though."

"The Blue Jewel Ceilidh band were fantastic and really made our event. They got everyone up dancing and dealt with with a large group of people. Somehow they got us all dancing in formation and getting most of the steps correct! This was a fund raising event for us so it was important to have a value for money band and to run an event that people enjoyed and would remember. Blue Jewel certainly achieved this. The feedback from guests was that they had a fantastic time and would attend a similar event next year. The fact several of our guests asked for Blue Jewel's contact details also speaks of how popular they were. Thank you again for helping us run such a successful and enjoyable event."

"High praise indeed! Mick, Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for playing at my party on Friday (29th November 2019 Friday Walthamstow Trades Hall, Tower Hamlets Road, Walthamstow, London, E17 4RQ) everyone had a great evening and you and your band made a major contribution to that - particular thanks to the caller who was fantastic and very patient with us all. Perhaps the best word of praise came from an Irish friend, who sat next to me after you had started playing and said, "These guys seem to know what they are doing." - believe me, coming from him that is high praise indeed! So, please pass on the thanks of everyone there to your band Alex Kenny 1st December 2019"

"Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the evening and I was delighted with how many of the youngsters were prepared to give it a go! My daughter's feet are covered in blisters and my husband had cramp in his thighs all night. Too much dancing... Thank you again. Best wishes, Sue"

"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! "

"Rejigged played at our 30th wedding anniversary and were excellent. The evening was greatly enjoyed by all with everybody from 8 to 80 having lots of fun! It was fantastic to celebrate our special day with live music from the band and dancing with friends and family back together again after so long. This type of social dance was perfect as we had several small groups of people and individuals who didn't know many of their fellow guests but our friendly caller managed to get everybody involved. With thanks again to all at Rejigged for a wonderful evening. "

"Very many thanks for your excellent playing on Saturday night. Everyone appreciated it and it made sure we all enjoying the evening. Thank you too for the CDs. I will have my first taste of listening this evening on a long drive I need to do – it will be good to be transported into that marvellous music. Please pass on our thanks to the other band members – but it was your fiddling that made all the difference. "
