Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"Kip and his crew were excellent from the word go. We incorporated our first dance into the ceilidh and added bridal party and parents. This was excellent, Kip talked us through it as a group and away we went. Our special moment was great fun for us and all of our guests. They did a great job of involving everybody old and young and all our guests said they had a great time. It was good fun and a great laugh. We would highly recommend them to anybody. "

"Just outstanding! Utterly professional from the first contact to the end of the wedding party, the Blue Jewel was a component that I really did not have to worry about and boy, did they deliver! The guests had a fabulous time; so much laughter and joy down to the littlest people! Great clear calling, never patronising, using our names and lots of lovely personal touches by Kip, who is a superb caller. The band showed great musicianship and were a complete asset. Lots of guests commented how good they were and what a great time they had at the Ceilidh. I recommend Blue Jewel without any reservation."

"I knew what I wanted for entertainment at my 50th birthday party but had no idea what to expect when I booked the Rib Ticklers. I'm pleased to say the boys didn't disappoint! They pitched the selection of songs just right and had the dancing in full swing within minutes of starting to play. I had a great night and friends loved the great mix of music all evening. I'm now trying to find an excuse to have them back! Galway girl living in Hertfordshire"

"Thank you so much for providing the very excellent music and superb instructions at our wedding party. Many of our guests remarked how much they enjoyed the ceilidh and what fun it all was. The combination of Scottish and tango worked even better than we could have imagined."

"Sounds with Us we’re absolutely phenomenal at our wedding! Everything was perfect, the lead up we had multiple chats and they got to know us, find out our music taste then the day was just brilliant. Lilac did a solo set which was wonderful and the band kept the dance floor going followed with Remko keeping the floor fillers with his awesome DJ skills. Would recommend them to anyone for any occasion! Thank you guys ?"

"Blue Jewel played at our wedding two weeks ago and they were absolutely fantastic. They were the highlight of the wedding party for us and for many of the wedding guests. Lots of people joined in with the energetic music. Clear instructions for the dances made it easy for everyone to join in. Apart from how fun the celeidh itself was, the thing that we appreciated most of all about Blue Jewel - and the thing that stands out about them - is that it was so easy and stress-free to organise. A couple of emails prior to the wedding to confirm timings and cost (which was very reasonable), and then they turned up on time, were very polite and flexible about us running late with the rest of the wedding, played brilliant music and got everyone up dancing. There was no fuss or stress whatsoever. Absolutely brilliant. We would recommend Blue Jewel to anyone. "

"Hi Davie, We're just back from honeymoon and wanted to thank you for the music - everyone loved it and the Zorba the Greek was just spectacular! I can’t quite remember if we thanked you at the end of the night (ski shot to blame) but if we didn’t, apologies and we would have no problems recommending you again! Hope there were no china injuries to you or the equipment! Many thanks! "

"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!"

"Dear Tad. I wanted to thank you all for a wonderful evening’s entertainment on Friday. Sadly we finished the meal late but given our lack of ability maybe we had tried the patience of the Caller sufficiently! It was one of the highlights of the evening and I’ve had so many comments on what fun it was and how pleasant you all were. It was superb. Many thanks. Caitriona"

"We were more than happy with the band. It was a great experience for the guests and host, everyone commented on how good they were. They were well suited to the venue and created a great atmosphere. We would be more than happy to recommend Blackthorn and your service in the future."
