"“We were absolutely delighted with Beskydy’s commitment, talent, and performance. They learned a piece specifically for my daughter’s wedding march, and their repertoire perfectly matched our guest list for a Jewish wedding which was also attended by family from the Balkans”"

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a joy to be part of your daughter’s wedding and to prepare the special piece for her march. We’re thrilled that our music helped bring together your family and friends from different traditions—moments like that are what make performing so meaningful for us.

"We decided on a ceilidh for our wedding reception; we thought it would give our day a great "party" feel. My husband is also Dutch and we wanted something that would suit everyone regardless of age, background and language. We definitely hit the jackpot with Blue Jewel - they did a fantastic ceilidh and the atmosphere was brilliant. We even had grandparents joining in the dancing! The instructions were clear and perfect for all language levels, and Blue Jewel was very flexible (we were running a little late) and had even looked up a Dutch song/dance especially for our wedding! We really enjoyed it and have had nothing but compliments about the band, music, and what a great idea the ceilidh was. I would definitely recommend!"

"​Katie and I just wanted to drop you a quick note to pass on our thanks to the guys for this Saturday at Cote How as it was an absolutely brilliant evening, and everyone had a great time. The guys from the band were brilliant and couldn’t have been more helpful on the night and were really nice all round personally too. Needless to say, we had a mixture of amateurs, those who have done quite a view barn dances and then the down right dreadful (think that’s the group I was in "

"Thank you George for coming all the way to perform at our wedding. You did a great job at calling and well done to you all for making the lovely happy ceilidh happen ( despite the chaos my dad and his partner wreaked on the complicated arches dance!) All the very best to you all."

"They arrived promptly, set up without any fuss, played two brilliant sets , were very generous with their time and got everyone dancing. Mike called the dances clearly and gave people chance to have a quick practice. Mike encouraged everyone and the dance floor never emptied. The band really helped make the wedding very special. "

"Black Velvet Band helped make the Souldern Village Ceilidh a great success. Ours was a Village event with all ages and the Band got all ages dancing. They played superbly and brought a caller with a good sense of fun. They provided music to dance to, music to listen to and an entertainment show all in one! On a practical level they were professionally early arriving, leaving the event organiser relaxed and free to have a drink! Greatly appreciated in all regards. Ian Grey"

"Such a phenomenal band. Tailored the whole performance to our preferences. Got the whole room up and line dancing 4 times. Honestly made my 40th birthday party the best night that I will never forget. Everyone said how epic it was. Hope to use them again soon. Thank you Lilac and the band for making our night!"

"Hop Skotshne's performance brought the soul of Klezmer music to life in such a vibrant and authentic way. Their spirited renditions of lesser-known traditional melodies and the range of emotion was truly captivating. It was an unforgettable night filled with music and culture!"

"Thank you and the band for great music which made the whole evening quite special. All the ages enjoyed themselves and in particular the younger people who had never attended a ceilidh before and had such a good evening. So many people commented on what an inclusive evening it was for all ages. Lots of great memories "

"Mark Ritchie, THE STAGE Country band Knoxville Highway are impressive to say the very least. From the deliverance-style banjo and guitar duel to the quality and warmth of double bass and pedal steel guitar, these country boys gave it to us with both barrels. Knoxville Highway are a joy to listen to."
