"Just a wee note to thank you for playing for us at our recent wedding, especially for arranging the music for our first dance, it meant so much to us and was the perfect way to start the evening. Everyone had such a great time and it was lovely to see the dance floor full from the first dance through to the end of the night. There is nothing like a ceilidh at a wedding to get friends, work colleagues and both sides of the new family up and mixing together for the whole evening. "

"We want to thank It's No' Reel for a fabulous experience. They were professional from start to finish and their organisation is excellent. They were very open to be being flexible with the ceilidh and disco options. We even had a Skype call just to introduce each other and to explain what we wanted which is much better than email. The ceilidh was brilliant and as we had friends and family from different countries, the calling was clear and easy to understand. Everyone had so much fun, it was the perfect end to the day. Afterwards we received a video montage of the ceilidh which we have shared with our friends and family, a lovely added extra which we were not expecting. If you are looking for a ceilidh band, I would DEFINITELY recommend It's No' Reel, if you have half as much fun as we did you will not be disappointed!"

"We hired Danny to play during dinner at our wedding, and we're so glad that we did! He was absolutely fantastic! He set a lovely atmosphere with his incredible guitar playing and vocals. All of our guests commented on how amazing he was! We asked him to play a couple of requests which was no trouble to him at all, even though we didn't give him much notice. He was one of the highlights of the entire day! To top it all off Danny was really professional and friendly, we would thoroughly recommend him to anyone! "

"A fantastic performance from a group of really talented musicians, producing a medley of folky, indie, soulful and uplifting tunes. They had the whole party singing, dancing and wanting more! Great people as well, we couldn't recommend them highly enough. "

"We hired Platinum for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with the service they provided. Easy and thoughtful communication before the big day, punctual arrival etc, but much more importantly - the music was AMAZING! So many of our guests commented on how fantastic the band were and we completely agree! Amazing vocals, band, repertoire and they performed our first dance so beautifully! Plus they are all so lovely and friendly, I would highly recommend!!"

"We had a brilliant evening with the Blue Jewel band. The whole evening ran very smoothly and a great time was had by all. I was really pleased with the bands rendition of 'You've got a friend' by James Taylor! We would heartily recommend the band for a stress-free evening. Thanks again to the band."

"This is the 3rd year we have had the Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band play for our event. They really add to the event in terms of the atmosphere, structure and fun they bring. We were sold out of tickets in the lead up to the event as people eagerly anticipated our annual ceilidh. The band are professional and talented. They brought some great dances which we had not seen before and some old favourites. We are already talking about next year's event with them!"

"'Last minute', but smooth and trouble-free! Last Minute Musicians were super helpful and Banish Misfortunes were the perfect choice."

"It was truly a pleasure to have Banish Misfortunes playing at my 60th Birthday Party. The melodic sounds of fiddle and guitar wafting across the sun-filled garden suited the occasion perfectly, and provided the perfect enhancement to the event. I would recommend Banish Misfortunes to anyone. "

"Gentlemen... what a fantastic band. We see bands here every week but you guys were miles better than any we've ever seen. I am not working today so have spoken with the manager on duty to leave a comment for you. Perhaps then some of our other clients will choose you for their functions at Achnagairn House. Hope you made it safely back down the road last night. Hope to see you all soon again. "
