"Hi Alex, We can’t thank you enough for such an excellent evening last Saturday. The music and leading is tremendous and everyone really enjoyed themselves so much. You are firmly in our address book and talk of a future event in the field is already underway. I would also highly recommend you to everyone. How far do you travel for a gig? Wishing much luck for the future and hope to be enjoying your music again soon. July 2026"

"Thanks so much for last Saturday - the band were fantastic and the caller was so lovely in the way she gently got so many people involved - particularly loved the way she drew the Children in ! You managed to get several people dancing who had never danced at a barn dance before and one person said ' I never dance at weddings , but this seemed so friendly and fun I thought I'd have a go - particularly when I saw their name was two left feet cos that's me!' You created just the atmosphere we were hoping for and we also had several comments about how good the musicians were - and that came from people who are accomplished musicians themselves. So many thanks to all the band! "

"Rosanna and guitarist were absolutely brilliant, set the scene and atmosphere for our party perfectly. Rosanna chose songs that were ideal for our theme, her voice is beautiful and so many people at our event asked where we found them. We would not hesitate to book again in the future, thank you so much x "

"Kip and his Ceilidh band performed at our wedding 30 years ago and proved the perfect choice for getting everyone involved, whatever their age, shape or size! Family and friends talked about the dancing for years after. There was simply nobody else to consider when we returned to Cornwall to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Once again, the dance floor was packed, some with a modicum of timing and coordination. Others with absolutely none. We all had the best time. If you want everyone involved and loads of fun, look no further than the Blue Jewel Ceilidh band. Thanks Kip. "

"The Storm Band exceeded our expectations. They were absolutely fantastic! All my guests were up dancing & thoroughly enjoyed the Band. Colin was exceptional in meeting our needs when we had a little hiccup a week before the Wedding. Thank you so much to The Storm Band for bring entertainment & magic to our wonderful Wedding. Xxx"

"Thanks you so much The Shooglers for playing at our wedding in April. I booked you after receiving a recommendation from the bass player of my own band. He was at a function you guys were playing at last year and he raved about you so much i was really glad you were able to play for us. There were guests from Canada, Dublin and New Zealand at our wedding and they were all joining in and everyone had a superb night. I especially enjoyed how you blended in rock and pop tunes with some of the Ceilidh dances. I will definitely recommend you guys to anyone I can and if I organize another bash in the future i'll be looking The Shoogle up! Thanks so much on behalf of my new wife Wendy and myself."

"Once again thanks for playing! The band is one of the key aspects of the night and you never fail to deliver. Everyone loved the whole night, was delighted to get people who had never been to a ceilidh up dancing and this morning there were compliments flying around left right and centre with how happy they were with the band. Delighted! Thanks again guys. "

"Thank you so so much for yesterday, the ceilidh was one of the highlights of the day, it was absolutely incredible we loved every second and so did our guests! I might have to have a ceilidh again soon for a birthday party!"

"We want to thank It's No' Reel for a fabulous experience. They were professional from start to finish and their organisation is excellent. They were very open to be being flexible with the ceilidh and disco options. We even had a Skype call just to introduce each other and to explain what we wanted which is much better than email. The ceilidh was brilliant and as we had friends and family from different countries, the calling was clear and easy to understand. Everyone had so much fun, it was the perfect end to the day. Afterwards we received a video montage of the ceilidh which we have shared with our friends and family, a lovely added extra which we were not expecting. If you are looking for a ceilidh band, I would DEFINITELY recommend It's No' Reel, if you have half as much fun as we did you will not be disappointed!"

"Becky sang at our wedding reception, she was everything we could have asked for and all the guests commented on her amazing voice and song choices! She even sang during our first dance which made it even more special! I would definitely recommend her in the future."

"RJ performed at our wedding at the beginning of August during the ceremony and at the reception drinks. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and was so quick to reply to our emails before the day itself. He gave us some useful advice and learnt one of our song requests for the ceremony. He turned up early on the day to get set up and was professional and friendly. We could not have been happier with his performance, he is a great singer and kept all our guests entertained. Everybody loved him. We highly recommend him!"
