"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!!"

"The band was excellent from start to finish. Excellent prompt communication, and helpful advice regarding the venue and how best to utilise the space. Finally they were not only a great band but they brought the dancing to life with their calling and help with the dances."

"A big thanks to Mike and the rest of the band for a brilliant evening. Everyone has said how much they thoroughly enjoyed it. A special thank you to Alan, the dance caller. He did a great job – quite a comedian! Finally a big thanks to the band for welcoming our fiddle-playing friend Richard into their ranks for the evening. He said he had a fantastic time. What a great party band the guys make! I’m very happy to recommend them to anyone having a bash."

"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. "

"Tim Barton played at my 60th Birthday party three years ago at the same venue. Once again he was superb, taking us back through the ages of pop and rock and providing a great soundtrack to the evening. Tim is not only a great musician but a true professional and what's more it is plainly obvious that he loves playing guitar. Hire Tim for any occasion and you are already half way to having a great time; the rest is up to you. "

"Utterly fantastic - got everyone dancing from the start and created great atmosphere at my daughter and new son-in-law's wedding celebrations. Lots of guests praising their musicianship and asking where we found them! Accommodated all the couple's requests including learning a special request for for first dance which went down a storm. Thank you Big Skies!"

Thank you so much for the great review Cheryl! It was an absolute pleasure to perform at your daughter and son in law's wedding celebrations. We loved every minute of it and we are so pleased that everyone enjoyed the performance. You guys were an amazing crowd to play for; it was fantastic to see everyone up on their feet, dancing and enjoying themselves. Thanks for booking us x

"I want to send the biggest thank you to the best ceilidh band I have ever had the pleasure of dancing to! Tom, Aaron and Scott were incredible from start to finish. Tom was great at responding to emails and organising everything. He even went out of his way to make sure he had the correct first dance song downloaded and so many little extras. I've been to many ceilidhs over the years and this was by far the best! As my husband is Portuguese, more than 50% of the wedding party had never been to a ceilidh before. Tom was fantastic at calling the dances and teaching everyone how to do it. There wasn't a single person sitting down and everyone loved it! We received so many compliments from our guests about how great the band were. Thanks so much to all of you for making our wedding night one to remember. I would recommend you to anyone!"

"The guys were professional, friendly and more importantly put on an awesome show! Many people have since complemented my wife and me, regarding our wedding, stating such amazing things as, “It’s the best wedding I’ve ever been to!” and we both firmly believe that the band played a huge part in this.

"This is the second year running we have used the Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band for our St Patrick''s party, and they were a huge hit again. We had our biggest turnout for an event, making it a very successful fundraiser. A big part of this was people wanting to join in with the Ceilidh fun again, having experienced the band last year. The music and calling were excellent, and the dances were great fun. It was great to try some new dances too. Our guests were already talking about next year as they left!"
