"So glad we booked you for Jo's 40th. Everyone had such a good night and the background tunes between dances while we all poured outside the hall to catch our breaths were just perfect, thanks again. "

"Dear Charlotte, Thank you so much for Saturday night. We had a fantastic evening - I’ve had so many texts and emails over the lats 2 days telling me how much people enjoyed it and how good the instruction from you and music was - we had so many musicians in the small hall, of a very high standard. Excellent. So, thank you so much for helping to make the evening fun, friendly, unique and memorable - and the fabulous musicianship, please pass this on to the band. Warm wishes, Anna"

"The International Klezmer Collective gave an intimate and captivating performance to a sold-out crowd. From start to finish the audience were engaged with their presence, humour and music. It was evident the two are deeply connected to the music they perform and the unique twist on the traditional tunes was the creative interplay and relationship between Fran and Flora. We look forward to having them back again"

"Blue Jewel Ceilidh Band were fantastic! From first point of contact by email, we found them to be helpful, flexible and professional. And then on the night they were all these things again and brilliant musicians with an excellent caller in Kip. He was so patient and fun. What we particularly appreciated was that Kip encouraged people to join in but didn't harangue or hassle anyone. He showed people what to do and ribbed some of the larger than life characters, which all added to the friendly warmth of the occasion. For anyone who isn't sure about having a ceilidh at a wedding, we would recommend this band as a brilliant introduction. My husband wasn't sure because he didn't want to feel forced to dance as he only usually does this when he's had several pints of beer. But we found Blue Jewel to be really encouraging, without being pushy and everyone joined in. It's really inclusive and a way of getting all ages up and dancing together. We were so pleased because our teenagers loved it too and no-one worried about being 'cool'. It's a very natural and traditional way of letting your hair down, mixing with everyone and having a good laugh. We would highly recommend this band."

"Danny was fantastic, we had a range of friends and family at our party from Ages 8-80 and I noticed them all either dancing or tapping their feet at sometime during the evening. Danny voice has a wonderful tone and great to listen to and his performance greatly enhanced our event, I would have no hesitation recommending him to others."

"Just a note to thank you so much for last Saturday. You and the band were superb! You played with such energy which got everyone including the reluctant ones onto the floor. Your caller was lovely and very good humoured and patient with us which made a big difference too. I will send over some snaps including of you addressing the haggis, which I hope you will be able to use. We’ve had brilliant feedback and made over £3,700 towards our fund …... which exceeded our expectations! Very many thanks. "

"Gentlemen... what a fantastic band. We see bands here every week but you guys were miles better than any we've ever seen. I am not working today so have spoken with the manager on duty to leave a comment for you. Perhaps then some of our other clients will choose you for their functions at Achnagairn House. Hope you made it safely back down the road last night. Hope to see you all soon again. "

"WOW! Platinum Band... There are literally no words to describe how amazing and talented this band is. Claire is absolutely fantastic and so kind and helped us so much with organising our day and being so useful. Everyone at the wedding said how amazing the band at our wedding was- we wouldn't have wanted anyone else. Their performances had everyone dancing and smiling. They truy made our wedding for us. Claire also helped us with background music and kindly set up a lot earlier so that everything was ready for when it was time for dancing. They are so accommodating and friendly... would 11/10 times recommend these guys!!!"
