"Funk With Us played at our wedding this weekend and they were absolutely FANTASTIC! High energy, super helpful and just a pleasure to work with, we cannot recommend them highly enough! Lilac and Remko both spoke with us in advance to get to know us a little better and find out more about the type of music we were interested in. Lilac gave us a call in the lead up, was available via whatsapp and was just generally super helpful. On the night of our wedding the dance floor was always filled with everyone singing and dancing along and having a really great time! So, so, so pleased we booked Funk With Us, thanks for making our wedding evening so awesome! Thanks Lilac, Remko and the rest of the band! "

"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."

"Dear Mick, Thank you very much to you and your band for playing at our barn dance (15th November 2025 Saturday The Claire Tiltman Centre, Gantry Place, Cotton Lane, Stone, Greenhithe, DA9 9FA}. All our guests had a wonderful time and most of them have said how good the band was and how clear and easy to follow the caller was. Mary managed to get even the most reluctant up and dancing with enough confidence to take part. We shall certainly recommend you, should anyone ask for your details. Best wishes Frances Wallace 27th November 2025"

"Caravan Swing has entranced our tea shop twice now. Each time with only a modicum of advertising the place was packed to the rafters. Pure magic, they can take you on a journey back in time to foreign lands and bring you home again all in the space of a few minutes, they can play infectiously dancing music, and lull you into a trance with soulful ballads. The audience has been rapturous each time. Can't wait to get them back."

"We all had a fantastic time with Blue Jewel. They had every single person up on the dance floor! Really patient, especially with the rowdier members of the party! Explained all the dances really well. Would recommend to anyone. "

"We wanted something a bit different than the standard "background music band" for our annual Christmas drinks party: Good Habits hit the spot perfectly. They did a mix of jazz, pop covers, originals and folk tunes that everyone enjoyed. They were supposed to be background music but by the end it turned into a mini concert as everyone just wanted to listen!"
