"The Blue Jewel Ceilidh band played at our rugby club on Friday 13th Feb. Although we didn't have a great turnout to the event, Steve took control of the limited numbers and was still able to make the night work. Everyone who came said how much fun they had had and can't wait for the next one. Steve's calling was clear and the music played was brilliant. I would highly recommend these guys for a fun night, no issues and Steve keeps you updated via email. Thanks Steve, Aaron and Mike for travelling so far to make our night so much fun! Leanne"

"From start to finish Stargazers's manager kept in regular contact with me and my partner, ensuring that we were kept in the loop, reassured and happy ahead of our wedding. On the day itself the band was FANTASTIC! Exactly what we wanted, with a great mix of songs (our age group ranged from 4-80!) which kept everyone entertained. Stargazers were professional throughout, and friendly, ensuring we were having the best time. In addition, the band were efficient in set up and pack down, arriving and departing quickly and quietly too. We would be sure to recommend them to anyone, especially weddings! Thanks Stargazers!"

"Dear Fiddlestix, Please could you pass on our thanks to the band that played at our wedding. The music was excellent and our guests had a fantastic time. It was lovely to see our friends and family having so much fun on the dance floor! A special thank you to Simon for teaching me the first dance over the phone. It worked perfectly and was a very special moment. Best wishes, Emma (and Tom)"

"We had two wonderful ladies playing Irish music and songs at a home 21st birthday party. We had the BEST time thank you, and you guys really made the party. We’ve had such fab compliments from all the youngsters who really enjoyed your tunes - a mixture of trad folk songs and modern - and absolutely loved the couple of Ceilidh dances (even after a few drinks!) which you led so well for us, super fun. Thanks to you both for making it all so special. You really are spot on with your tunes and very talented musicians and singers. I will never understand how you can play three instruments at one time and make it all sound and feel so good. AMAZING and I would recommend for any event, young or old."

"We heard Full Beans perform at Oxjam in late 2015 and decided on the spot that we wanted them at our wedding reception. Their performance on the day was just perfect with a combination of classic gypsy jazz tunes and innovative arrangements of old classics. They were really organised and were spot on with communicating with us about the big day putting our minds at ease. We could not recommend these guys (and gals) enough!"

"Everything was fantastic from the day I booked, right to the day Banish Misfortunes played. The duo were everything I expected and so much more, contributing greatly to the already electric atmosphere. I couldn't have wished for a better turn out. Thank you, Last Minute Musicians, and thank you, Banish Misfortunes."

"Hello Fiddlestix, We are just away on holiday but wanted to thank you, the band and your fabulous caller for getting our daughter’s wedding reception off to such a great start! We knew we had a few guests who would definitely get up and take part, but to have so many joining in the fun and to hear all of the glowing compliments afterwards was great! The cheesy disco afterwards was good fun too, but I think partly that was down to the fact everyone had had such a great laugh with their attempts at barn dancing and were keen to stay on the dance floor! Many thanks once again, Kindest regards, Karen and Doug "

"WOW! Platinum Band... There are literally no words to describe how amazing and talented this band is. Claire is absolutely fantastic and so kind and helped us so much with organising our day and being so useful. Everyone at the wedding said how amazing the band at our wedding was- we wouldn't have wanted anyone else. Their performances had everyone dancing and smiling. They truy made our wedding for us. Claire also helped us with background music and kindly set up a lot earlier so that everything was ready for when it was time for dancing. They are so accommodating and friendly... would 11/10 times recommend these guys!!!"
