"This is the 3rd year running that we've been lucky enough to have the Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band play for our charity's annual barn dance. I cannot rate them highly enough - from great communication before the event to fabulous music on the day, they are first class. We're already looking forward to our 4th one next year!"

"After our harpist let us down close to our wedding we turned to Last Minute Musicians for help. They were amazing and we found the most perfect Harpist in Rebecca! They kept us informed every step of the way, were polite and answered any questions we had. Rebecca was also polite and friendly. Cannot fault. 100% recommend"

"Sophie’s connection to music is deep and undeniable. Her music and words range from deep and powerful to fun and light, with warm and inviting folky tones. I find her a joy to listen to and feel that her accomplished musicianship reflects her spirit- heartfelt, skilful, passionate and free."

"Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band were fantastic! From first point of contact by email, we found them to be helpful, flexible and professional. And then on the night they were all these things again and brilliant musicians with an excellent caller in Kip. He was so patient and fun. What we particularly appreciated was that Kip encouraged people to join in but didn't harangue or hassle anyone. He showed people what to do and ribbed some of the larger than life characters, which all added to the friendly warmth of the occasion. For anyone who isn't sure about having a ceilidh at a wedding, we would recommend this band as a brilliant introduction. My husband wasn't sure because he didn't want to feel forced to dance as he only usually does this when he's had several pints of beer. But we found Blue Jewel to be really encouraging, without being pushy and everyone joined in. It's really inclusive and a way of getting all ages up and dancing together. We were so pleased because our teenagers loved it too and no-one worried about being 'cool'. It's a very natural and traditional way of letting your hair down, mixing with everyone and having a good laugh. We would highly recommend this band."

"The band were absolutely fantastic and were great for a party at the pub! They drove all the way from London to North Yorkshire to play for our wedding welcome party. They played so well and got all our guests dancing all night! The choice of songs were great and all band members were really nice and professional! A big thank you to all 3 of them!"

"Mark and I can’t thank you enough, everyone said how great the band was. It was great because you got everyone up and dancing, it made the evening of the wedding. Communication throughout was great and any questions and queries were answered. Would definitely recommend or if we were to have another function/party we would definitely rebook. Thanks again for everything Stacey and Mark, wedding at The Red Barn in Surrey – 22nd February 2019 "

"Emma played harp and fiddle at our wedding in April 2018. She was incredible. From the moment we first got in touch with her, she was friendly and professional. She facilitated all our requests. On the day she played beautifully. I'll never forget the moment I walked down the aisle to her rendition of our chosen song. Many guests commented they'd enjoyed her music throughout the ceremony and drinks reception. I would highly recommend her."
