"Dave and Rich were a brilliant addition to our wedding, playing their great folky versions of classic songs during the drinks reception between our ceremony and dinner. They hit just the right note of excellent quality and vibes but without being overly showy or intrusive. It was just what we wanted. They were also just a great couple of guys, super flexible with timings, and kind enough to rescue our ceremony by lending a microphone, mere minutes before it started. Highly recommend them!"

"Thank you Blue Jewel! We had had a fantastic wedding day which culminated in a ceilidh, not everyone's choice of course - until they experience the Blue Jewel phenomenon! You had to be very determined to NOT dance to avoid this. Kip is a brilliant caller - patient and knowledgeable. On the odd occasion when everyone was too tired to dance the band just played on anyway, the music was simply delightful in its own right. We are very lucky to have such a talented band in the west country, I would not hesitate to use these guys again- if you have an event coming up book them before they become world famous and never play locally again! Cheers Steve and the band."

"This band is absolutely incredible both live and recorded. Live, they are hugely versatile and highly engaging, getting the audience on their feet dancing and singing along, or sitting back in awe as Amy hits those stunning high notes in Somewhere over the Rainbow. Their studio recordings are absolutely magical, I have them on repeat on all my playlists! My absolute favourite is Fotheringay for which they have a beautifully haunting music video too. Their own original songs are also absolutely fantastic, of indistinguishable quality from their covers. A great band recommended for any occasion."

"We had these guys at Drimsynie Estate Holiday Village for New Year, and I cannot rate them highly enough! Made my job easier, allowed me to mingle with the guests, and make their night a little bit better. Very professional on stage, had the dancefloor filled all night long, I don't know how the dancers danced or as long as they did! If you are humming and hawing about booking these guys, just do it, you won't regret it!"

"Thanks so much for playing for us, you created a great atmosphere for our ceremony. We really appreciated you playing many of our requests, such as Belz, and Chiri Bim Chiri Bom!"

"The Rampart Street Ramblers played a wonderful mix of music at our wedding as guests arrived, mingled and drank at our wedding reception. The weather was not as dry as we'd hoped, so the band moved around to various places around the venue to entertain different groups. Beforehand, Dai called me and was very happy to cater to our specific tastes and needs. So many of our guests told us they were great, and at least one couple have asked for their details for their wedding too. My only disappointment was I didn't get to hear them much as I was being dragged off in all directions. "

"​We booked Juniper for a Burns Night Event at our restaurant. Juniper were so easy going and provided exactly what we wanted & more! The back ground music as diners arrived was perfect and created a great atmosphere. The second set was amazing and got everyone on their feet to finish off a superb evening. We really wouldn’t hesitate recommending these guys & can’t wait to have them back"

"Just wanted to say that we thought you were all fantastic. The wedding had been such fun all day, followed by wonderful food, and you certainly kept up the high energy feel. The fact that so many people were up to dance, most of whom had never been to a Ceilidh before, was testimony to your good music and the lively but relaxed and welcoming atmosphere you created. So thanks again and we hope you enjoyed it too. You were even better than we hoped you would be!"

"Thank you all so much for adding to the enjoyment of the reception following my daughter’s recent wedding. It was wonderful to see so many of our guests up on their feet joining in – even so called ‘non-dancers’! We are delighted to have booked you for our Ceilidh and would be happy to recommend you to others."

"This group of lovely people were a joy to deal with from booking and up to their departure! The music is a delightful combo of folk-style interpretations of current hits and old favourites that was just perfect for our boho-style forest wedding in a tipi. Thanks guys, we absolutely loved having you there!"

"Top notch. Maestro Michael composed his piece, then rehearsed and conducted the choir with less than 3 hours rehearsal. Also a world class guitarist-classical and rock. Had a few hits with his own songs too. Quite a combination! "
