Review Centre: Celtic Groups & Ceilidh Bands

"What can we say?! You guys were fantastic, we had so much fun as did our guests who have not stopped with the compliments since. It was our first ceilidh dance like many of our guests but it mattered not at all, Kip was brilliant at calling the moves and getting everyone up on their feet having a go and managing to get us holding it together which is no mean feat when it comes to rhythmically challenged mates!! And for those of my guests who have been to many a ceilidh dance, they too couldn't praise the band highly enough and all said it was the best they have been to. One very happy bride :-) I'd recommend Blue Jewel to anybody wanting to inject some fun into any party - the perfect ice breaking, crowd pleasing entertainment, everyone can join in and have a blast, no rhythm required!!

"Rejigged at my 30th birthday party Thank you so much to Rejigged band who absolutely made our birthday party come to life - everyone left with beaming smiles on their faces. The caller had great energy and encouraged us all out onto the dance floor with good humour, even the shy ones got up and danced! The band were really organised and communicated well before the event. We had such fun stomping around the hall that we actually damaged the ceiling of the room below! Great range of tunes and dances, very jolly all round. Would recommend! Florence 14th March 2020 Chichester Hall Sandgate. "

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at my 21st last weekend. You guys were absolutely incredible. I have had so many of my guests telling me it was the best ceilidh they've ever been to! You made the night what it was so I can't thank you enough! "

"I can’t express enough how happy we are that we choose this band. They made my mums surprise 60th birthday party a night to remember! They were extremely professional & listened to our requests prior to the event & excelled our expectations on the night. We gave them a playlist of my mums favourite songs to incorporate in the night & they put their own twist on the songs so they fit perfectly with the party theme. The whole room which was a mixture of ages was up & dancing & they created an amazing atmosphere. They are so versatile and extremely talented that I would definitely use them again for any future event. All the guests raved about them and said what a wonderful night they had. Thanks again Jess, her family & friends x"

"Please can you pass my compliments on to the band for the wonderful job they did on Saturday last. Our guests have been absolutely raving about them! They were so good in fact I think they tired most of us out after 3 dances!! We both really appreciate how organised, friendly and accommodating the band were and would not hesitate at all about recommending them to our family and friends. They really made our day so special, our first dance is one I’ll always remember and the smiles on people’s faces as they had fun dancing “The Siege of Ennis”! Thank you once again."

"The first act I decided to see on the Friday were the Levy Folk Collective Ceilidh Band – for those unaware, a ceilidh is a traditional Scottish/Irish form of dancing played to traditional folk music. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but seeing the band get the crowd dancing was amazing – we were taught several dances and even this reviewer had a go at it! "

"The unique sound of Irish harp and banjo accompanying LISA'S stellar voice is a once in a life time experience She Plays the harp in a style all her own; almost as if she were playing finger style guitar. Combining her deep knowledge of Irish traditional music with current pop styling is what attracted me to her as an artist and storyteller in the first place She is the first artist I signed to my new venture abfab artists .com and LISA has already written with several Grammy winning writers producers and artists for the pop market and film and television I'm very much looking forward to working on her upcoming album."

"Ceilidh Spice were great. Thank you very much. We had torrential rain throughout our party but the marquee stayed dry and everyone loved the band and the barn dance."

"Blue Jewel Ceilidh band were absolutely brilliant! They played for our wedding and had everyone up on the dance floor all night! The music was wonderful and the calling clear and encouraging for those of us with two left feet! I also found all the communication leading up to the wedding really quick and helpful. Would recommend! "

"Having a Ceilidh band and a caller will absolutely make your event. There are two things my family and friends talk about when they talk about my wedding: the Ceilidh and our magician. So first off, going for a Ceilidh really is worthwhile. It's super inclusive, all your guests end up dancing together, it's so much fun, loads of laughter and it means EVERYONE is on the dancefloor. So now you're sold on a Ceilidh... you need to think no further than hiring Sound With Us. I have had 70 guests of varying physical abilities, varying ages (from 2 months to 75 years old) and of various languages spoken.... The caller was incredible: fun but also very patient and very visual, repeating instructions as many times as necessary. Also unexpected on the day, one of the member of the band knew a very famous French song which (me being Belgian) meant that my whole family got up and sang with him. He performed in between sets, totally unsolicited. Honestly, Ceilidh With Us helped make our day totally unforgettable."

"Please pass on a huge thanks to the band for last night! They got the crowd going and kept them under ‘control’ with a brilliant blend of instructions and banter even as we inevitably got a little rowdier towards the end. I will definitely recommend to others and keep details for future events. Kevan Cameron: Swinton Barracks (15th Signal Regiment, Royal Corps of Signals, 22 Engineer Regiment & 26 Engineer Regiment)"

"Hi Davie, Thank you so so much for being the best ceilidh band around!!! We were so gutted when you announced it was the last song, as were all our guests!! Could have shoogled all night long. Can't thank you all enough. Many many thanks from the new mr & mrs Taylor :) "

"The band played at my daughter’s wedding reception on Saturday and really made the evening go with a swing. All the communication in the run up to the event was good – what music we were looking for, arrangements about set up, timings, etc. Musically, they are an excellent band."
