"My wife and I booked The Mighty Craic full band for our joint 40th birthday party. Josh was a pleasure to deal with in terms of the arrangements etc and when the big night came the band absolutely stormed it for us. I'd been keen to find a band that would have a broad appeal as we would have family and friends of all ages celebrating with us. The band treated us to a perfectly judged mix of popular irish songs and contemporary pop hits done The Mighty Craic's style. If you want a tight, professional, really entertaining irish band for your party then you've found them. Guaranteed to get your guests dancing, smiling and singing along. Top craic! "

"We booked these guys through the Son of my now wife for the evening of our wedding. Our only mistake was not booking them for longer on the evening. We should have had them all night. We had Unwritten Duo band. The vocals were awesome and capped a fantastic evening. A mixture of great soulful classics and some slightly more obscure tracks. I’d definitely travel to see these guys and the more intimate the venue the better. They could play big venues but are better in a small place where sing to you not at you. Fantastic set guys and thank you. Xx"

"The morning after the night before .....Danny was superb . There were only 10/ 12 guests and we booked Danny after seeing his promo videos. He came early - didnt have a lot of equipment as it is a big but not a huge house....his voice and melodies made the night for my husband he was so suprised and every guest was amazed at how smooth and soft Danny s voice was . I made quite a few requests and he managed to fit a good few in - even , a melodic version of Billie Jean which my daughter in law loved. His range of different songs and the ability to sing other artists songs made it even better. He is a lovely man polite , and amenable friendly and suprisingly I read this morning does stand up comedy ??? Wish I knew that last night...lol A perfect singer for a perfect night ...we didnt want him to go. Good luck with your new album Danny.....a very special man....would thoroughlyrecommend "

"Thank you so much to you and the band for playing for our wedding! We had a great time, and it was very good of you to be so genial about the delay in starting, and last minute suggestion for the first dance! Best wishes"

"For the third year The Brixham Pirate Festival will have The Extonions playing on the Main Stage. Pirates are a discerning crew and The Extonions had them a jiggin' and toe tappin' throughout their set. HUZZAH!!!"

Reply by Irish Band: The Extonions
Thank younRuss , while it lasted under your management, we though roughly enjoyed every moment as did the crowd. People often ask why we are not playing anymore on the main stage, and we have to say, we don't know.

"We had a fantastic time with the Blue Jewel Ceilidh band, brilliant music. We all had such fun, everyone could join in as nothing was too complicated. The caller was very good and hit the right note, very professional and special thanks to them all for making every effort to get to the venue after the snow drifts and icy roads caused major problems for many. It helped to make our daughter’s Wedding a very special day. "

"Thoroughly recommend Kip and the band, who made my birthday party such a fun evening. Great, easy communication from Kip when planning the event and on the night. The ceilidh was excellent, the calling nice and clear, and everyone had lots of fun, including the little ones—who Kip made sure could join in alongside everyone else. The fact that most people danced (nearly) every dance says how good the ceilidh was!"

"These guys were GREAT! They played at our wedding and were so professional from start to finish - good communication on the run up and provided us with all the info we needed. On the day, the sets they played for us were brilliant, everyone danced from start to finish and really enjoyed how they came into the crowd. Would definitely recommend !!!!"

"Hello Dermot, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye and thank you and Kevin personally. You were so encouraging and made this very nervous singer as comfortable as possible! You were both great and everyone loved the music. Thanks again and all the best "

"I hired Blue Jewel Ceilidh band to play for my 60th birthday party at my local village hall. I had never heard them play before but going on previous recommendations I felt certain they would be okay. How right I was! Well, if fact they were more than okay - they were bandtastic! Their playing is brilliant and they created a fantastic atmosphere. Steve made sure he brought me and my husband and sons right into the swing of things, mentioning us by name whenever he could and he certainly made it feel like "my" party and not just any old party they might be playing at. There was quite a mix of ages, but everyone joined in with the dancing, (yes, even my non-dancing- unless-he's-had-a-few-pints, husband!!). Steve and his colleague were excellent callers and made the dances very easy and great fun. We are still laughing and talking about what a wonderful evening it was. I have no hesitation in recommending Blue Jewel. They will make your party go with a swing! "

"Hi Davie, I hope you and the guys are doing well. Just wanted to email and say thank you so much for playing at and being the highlight of our gymnastics training weekend. We have heard nothing but amazing feedback from everyone at the ceilidh and will definitely be booking you guys in the future. Thanks again for making our training weekend such an enjoyable event! "
