"Hi there , Vicki and I would just like to say a big thank you for playing at our wedding on Friday. It was a brilliant evening and you guys did an absolutely amazing job! Plenty of the guests picked you out for praise as well. Thanks so much and we hope we'll see you at other events in the future! "

"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!!

"Thank you Lilac, Remko and the wonderful musicians for putting on such a stand-up show in every respect. We couldn't have asked for better entertainment for our calibre of clientele. I would recommend your services to anyone interested in a quality soul-Motown band."

"Many thanks to The Rib Ticklers for helping us raise money at our charity event for The Injured Jockeys Fund. They were brilliant and kept a wide age range of people on their feet all night. Couldn't have asked for better. Great people to deal with, looking forward to next time.Would thoroughly recommend."

"Mark performed at our wedding and was excellent. Really nice to deal with. The music was perfect and all our guests were very impressed. We would have no hesitation at all in recommending him and would certainly have him again for any future functions."

"I just have to thank Black Velvet Band for the great job they did at my 70th birthday ceilidh in Bristol on 24th June. I had such a great time, and that was partly down to the three of them working hard, and giving us great music to dance to. I danced every dance and enjoyed it so much. When the caller was explaining how to reel I thought, "Uh oh, this'll be fun!" and it certainly was ... I haven't laughed so much in ages. So, well done everyone involved, and if we ever have another I'll be sure to contact you 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."

"The band did a fantastic job playing for the ceilidh at our wedding in October. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm, for introducing us to some new dances, and for cheerfully going along with my very specific opinions about how a ceilidh should work! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a ceilidh band. - Rebecca and Charles"

"For the third year The Brixham Pirate Festival will have The Extonions playing on the Main Stage. Pirates are a discerning crew and The Extonions had them a jiggin' and toe tappin' throughout their set. HUZZAH!!!"

"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!"
