"Hi Steve, I just wanted to say a big thank you for the party on Saturday night, it went down a storm! My wife loved it (she's the important one, as it was her surprise party), and so did everybody else! Even the couple of teenagers that were there joined in! It literally was 8 to 80 years old's, although in didn't notice my mother in law dancing (she has had both hips replaced). I thoroughly recommend 'Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band' and will pass on your details to anybody looking for entertainment! Thanks again! Kevin "

"We hired Barn With Us two years ago to play for our party however, with two cancellations thanks to Covid, we have only just had the party. I can say it was truly worth the wait! Without a doubt, every single person loved the performance that the band put on, they were superb! They really made the night and managed to get people to dance on stage that I’ve never even seen dance before! Many people came up to me and said how wonderful the band were and I wouldn’t be surprised if more business comes to the band from guests at the party! Thank you for a truly wonderful night! I cannot recommend Barn With Us enough, everything was expertly organised, including through Covid and we were able to select our favourites to sing along to!"

"Danny was great from the first point communication, really friendly and enthusiastic. We were in touch leading up to the event about the type of music we wanted and he very accommodating and made us feel totally at ease. He arrived with plenty of time and was very thorough in his set up and preparations. When he started he blew us away.... all the guests sang along and the atmosphere was fantastic. Danny was great with the guests and performed loads of requests..... his performance made our evening perfect.... Thank you Danny! "

"Rastrum played for our Burns Night at the University of York last week and it was one of the most successful student events we've had in months! It was the perfect setting for students to relax and have fun with old and new friends. The atmosphere was just buzzing and we've already had requests from students asking to do this again. The band were flexible with our venue change and were generous with the dances. The caller was very clear and warm which made the evening incredibly inclusive, especially as over 100 of our students had no idea what a ceilidh was at the start of the evening! So by popular demand I think we'll be getting a ceilidh booked in again very soon. And last but not least, the band play together perfectly and the tunes they chose were brilliant. "

"We can't wait for our next event so we can book them again! We booked Platinum Band to play at my Birthday party and they were fantastic! The larger line up suited us more as we requested a lot of soul and funk so having a live saxophone was perfect for that. Everyone had such a great time and haven't stopped talking about the band, we can't wait for our next event so we can book them again!"

"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!"

"Thank you Blue Jewell for helping us to deliver such a great annual event. You’ve been fabulous to work with over the last 5 years and we look forward to the years to come. Our beneficiaries had an amazing time again this year whooping and dancing. We love your music and appreciate how you collaborate with the dance team. Thanks again – see you next year. "

"A huge thank you to you and the rest of your band for your wonderful performance on Saturday.  The compliments have been flying in and the atmosphere was excellent.  I hope you got the same sense of satisfaction that I did from seeing so many people, both young and not so young, having a really enjoyable time.

"I just wanted to put on record my appreciation of Tim Barton’s efforts and musicianship during my 60th Birthday party celebration last Saturday night. Tim provided a really atmospheric soundtrack to the night, from the Beatles to Bowie to Sinatra. Even Billy Bragg got a look in! It was a perfect accompaniment to the party and Tim coped brilliantly, performing well over the general hubbub of many people who hadn’t seen each other for ages. I would happily book Tim again. "
