"a year ago A privilege to have Judy and her band at a surprise birthday party. The dancing and caller got the party going and Judy was so helpful in our email correspondence beforehand. Musical, cheerful and fun evening!"

"Blue Jewel played for us at a birthday party, they were 'toe tapping amazing'!.... Friendly guys and very professional. We had any guests asking the name of the band and complementing us on the choice of music. Would DEFINATELY reccomend and book again. Thanks boys."

"We booked Luc Walpot to play at our winter wedding and we were not disappointed. His beautiful selection of music set the tone for the day and our guests were very complimentary. We would highly recommend Luc to anyone organising a wedding or for any event. His beautiful harp playing completed our intimate wedding. Many thanks. Simon and Leanne."

"Davie, At last I am getting a minute to thank you and the guys for an excellent evening playing at our Silver Wedding at Meldrum House. The music was fabulous, everything we expected and more! All our guests have been telling us how much they enjoyed the band, even those not energetic enough to dance say that they very much enjoyed listening to you play. We were well and truly shoogled and I know I wasn’t the only one with aching muscles the next day! Great fun, thanks for helping to make our special occasion a huge success, we all had a fantastic time. The only complaint we had was that the party finished too soon!"

"Rosie's playing was a great contribution to our big day! Everyone commented on what a lovely touch it added. With a combination of some of our favourite songs intermingled with a beautiful selection of classical pieces, she turned a great day into a perfect day. She is a real sweetie to deal with as well!"

"Although I was busy with guests and getting tea and supper ready, what I heard for Francis and Janet was absolutely lovely. The guests who were enjoying tea in the garden , listening and watching them said just how much they enjoyed it and how beautifully they played. So a big thank you.."

"Thank you guys for making our wedding day so special. The barn dance was brilliant! We all loved it and we have had so many comments about how good the barn dance was and what fun everybody had. I do wish we had booked you for longer, but then also wish it had not rained. .Thank you so much again, and if you could pass our comments on to the other guys. So many people said it was the best wedding ever and that was helped by you guys."

"Hi guys, Apologies it is taking me so long to get in touch, but Kris and I wanted to drop you a quick message to say thank you so much for playing at the wedding at Traquair on the 13th August. The night was a huge success and that was largely in part of yourselves. You received loads of compliments from our guests and a number of people have asked for your details so safe to say you were a hit! We both felt you handled the night excellently, judging the crowd just right and keeping the dancefloor full. Everyone had aching muscles the next day! You were a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating to our requests and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you or book you again. Kindest Regards Anna Lamont "

"Excellent acoustic soloist. Can not recommend highly enough. He had everyone up and singing and I’ve been asked when he’s coming back already! Top night."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Georgina’s Wedding Ceilidh – July 2025 The band were a great edition to our wedding party event. They arrived on time and had no issues setting up independently with minimal direction from us as hosts. They gave good directions in terms of getting us started with a first dance, and set the tone for the two sets they played perfectly – giving great instructions to the mostly complete novice crowd present, with a good dose of humour alongside. Everyone there from small children through to retirees was able to participate. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again for a future event, or to recommend them to others."
