"We booked the band for our wedding reception back in October. We are both huge Irish music fans and have had several memorable trips to Ireland so it was especially important to us to have a live Irish band on our big day. We spend a fair amount of time looking for the "perfect Irish band" and were over the moon to have found The Extonions. From the initial enquiry Mac was both friendly and very professional. He instantly made us feel like we had made the right decision and was more than happy to include any special song requests we had. He then made sure they included on the night and that everyone had a great time. All the band members were lovely and friendly chatting to our guests and fitted in perfectly with our relaxed party atmosphere. Many of our guests have commented on how great they were and we would not hesitate in booking them again in the future or recommending them to others. Thanks so much for making our wedding day so memorable."

"You guys were great! Good mixture of ridiculous, irreverance and damn well played music (I include the chicken). Liked the Police and Ambulance siren sounds cut into the music too. Cheers for making us laugh and smile."

"We had a fantastic evening with you guys, we’re so glad that we chose you and your incredible team for the event, we have heard nothing but praise for your talent and performance. We’ve been told that everyone loved you and your take on all those classics, that we made good choices and that the first dance was really well done thanks to your cheeky spin! Every single song got more people on the dance floor, it was incredible. We’ve shared your details with anyone who asks and we hope to enjoy your music again in the future."

"Funk With Us providing the band, DJ and PA for our wedding on the 9th October 2021. And they were absolutely amazing. In the lead up to the event, their diligence and patience in helping sort out some issues around sound levels at the venue went way above and beyond what we'd initially agreed with them. They friendly, highly personal service and wish to really understand what we wanted for the day meant we felt really positive and confident going into the day. On the day itself, they were amazing with the band being great fun, really getting involved and making sure the dance floor was both packed and super fun. We would absolutely recommended everytime, these guys are amazing. 12/10."

"I hired the Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band for a party I was having (for its own sake!). I made initial contact with Kip online since I live in China and was arranging the party for when I would be at home in the summer. Kip was easy to deal with and the booking was arranged with just a few short emails. On the night, Kip and the rest of the band turned up with the same sense of ease and informality. They provided us with a fantastic night of entertainment with Kip giving clear instructions for the dances as caller. I would thoroughly recommend the Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band for their quality musicianship, their excellent rates and for their warm and friendly service."

"Blackmond's guitar playing is a masterclass... He is less a one-man band, and more a one-man orchestra. A poetic soul, and a sublime vocal range'. - Americana U.K. "

"We booked Kellys Heroes to play at our wedding earlier this year and we were not disappointed! Everyone at our wedding was up on the dance floor, dancing for the entire set, they're great musicians with a great set list. I think all of our guests could have gone on for the rest of the night. Everyone still tells us that it was one of the highlights of any wedding they've been to. Thank you! "

"We just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a huge THANK YOU for making our wedding day so incredible with the Ceilidh! Everyone has been raving about it for the last two days. As you saw most people had never been to a ceilidh before and now I think they're hooked. You guys really made the day magical. Thanks also for accommodating the moment for Kevin and his mom and the Game of Thrones intro too :) "
