"My thanks to Rhys for making our house party a very memorable occasion. His vocals and guitar playing was amazing and really entertained the audience. He also possesses a really friendly personable personality that you instantly warm to where nothing is too much trouble. The music catered for all ages and got people dancing. Thank you Rhys - you made our party rock! "

"If you're looking for fantastic entertainment, look no further. Awesome band, no stress, fabulous musicians and great music choices! There is so much choice that it's hard to know which type of entertainment to book, I'd definitely recommend The Koniger String Quartet. Thanks for making our birthday celebration so special."

"Myself and Jennie booked Alfie's Hot Hats for our wedding and are we glad that we did! Alfie was exceptionally helpful in the run up, helping to guide us through choosing set lists, arranging DJ sets in between live performances, offering advice as to what would work and what wouldn't and answering a barrage of emails and questions with constructive help and advice. On the day both guys were flexible enough to change plans at very short notice due to inclement weather and arrived in good time to sound check and perform despite confusion over the venue caused by myself. The guys brought full lighting and PA equipment and both they and the room looked fantastic for our guests to arrive. The music itself was superbly performed with both Alfie and Russ interacting with the guests and getting everyone up on the dance floor for the whole evening with a great mix of old and new classics. I'll particularly never forget their Somerset version of 'Mr Brightside'! The guys went the extra mile even cutting breaks short to ensure we got our money's worth due to a late start caused by us. Overall the guys are thoroughly professional, entertaining and generate the sort of atmosphere you would expect from a much larger group. Our guests without exception have commented how good the band was and how much they enjoyed the evening and that was due in a large part to the Hot Hats."

"Please pass on our huge thanks to the band for all their hard work on Saturday. We really enjoyed meeting them before they took to the stage, and we really loved the energy that they brought to the performance. Thanks to them also for being flexible when the setup timings etc. had to change at a minute. "

"We would just like to thank all of the band so very much for the incredible performance you put on for our wedding on Saturday. You were OUTSTANDING! It was very important to us to get a good band, but you guys weren't just a good band, you were the perfect band. Styles to suit all the guests (everyone raved about you) and great show presence - full of confidence for the ceilidh songs. Lovely touch having us on the dance floor for a special bride/groom dance at the end, followed by an entire wedding Auld Lang Syne. You are an exceptionally talented band. Thank you with all our hearts!"

"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."

"The show was incredibly busy for myself and the team I work with, meaning we had very little time to commit to our live acts. Luckily, Sarah-Jane was a delight to work with. Punctual, polite and professional she was always on time, able to set up our equipment unassisted and always delivered a fantastic performance that was suited to the environment and setting we were in. Fantastic and highly recommended, we would happily book Sarah-Jane again!!"

"Simply couldn’t have asked for a better band to help our guests celebrate our wedding. The dance floor was packed from start to finish. Wish I could get married again just for the party!"

"The band were amazing from the very start. We thought they were amazing as did our guests. Great variety of songs to get people up enjoyibg themselves. Many asked about where they could find them for possible events in the future."

"From the very first note under the Chuppah, we knew we were experiencing something extraordinary. Simcha Sounds brought a depth of artistry and sensitivity that elevated every moment of our day. Their rendition of Im Eshkachech Yerushalayim was so moving it reduced many of our guests to tears, and yet only a short while later those same guests were lifted high on chairs during the Hora, celebrating with unrestrained joy. Beyond their world-class musicianship, what truly stood out was their instinctive ability to read the room and seamlessly guide the evening from one moment to the next. The Dorchester can be a challenging venue acoustically, yet they handled it with total professionalism and elegance. Our wedding was unforgettable, and Simcha Sounds played a central role in making it so."
