"First time having Blue Jewel (have had other ceilidh's in the past) and have to say Steve and the band were brilliant, so much so thinking what excuse for a party we can make so we can have them again! Thank you for a fantastic night, will definitely recommend "

"Mike and the band were excellent and performed brilliantly for my 50th birthday celebration. Guests commented straight away on how good they were and we loved that they were able to tune in to the vibe of the evening and adjust to the various levels of enthusiasm and dancing competence that was on the dance floor. I thoroughly recommend them if you are thinking of having a hoe down and know that both myself and my guests will be remembering a great evening for a long time to come."

"A huge thank you to you for your entertainment last Friday evening, and for staying for that extra half an hour. All our guests had a fantastic evening and were very complimentary about your singing and guitar playing, which personally I think was outstanding."

"Saw Whisky & Ginger at our local golf club last weekend and they were amazing! The voice! The songs! They had us oldies up dancing long after we'd normally be heading for bed! Would thoroughly recommend anybody to book and can't wait to have you back at the club!"

"Thanks for providing the stimulus for a lively evening. I’ve had loads of very positive feedback. The music, as expected, was first class and the calling got people dancing. Arranging your participation couldn’t have been easier. You clearly knew what you needed, what you were doing and what the event required. Feedback from you meant I had no worries before, during or after the event. Thanks again."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio provided a brilliant ceilidh for our wedding celebrations at Goldney Hall, Bristol on 12 August 2017. What a fantastic evening! The band entertained our hardy Scottish guests with well-known Scottish dances but it was most enjoyable to see English friends and family ceilidh dancing for the first time and loving it! The dances were called very clearly and were quite ambitious so there was much hilarity. It was infectious fun and everyone got involved. (The dance floor was almost too small!) Mike and the band were extremely accommodating, professional and enthusiastic. The band has a huge repertoire and organised the evening flawlessly, from our first dance (Gay Gordons) to the throwing of the bouquet and the final Circassian Circle. Highly recommended. Thanks again for a fantastic evening of fun!"

"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."

"We booked the The Mighty Craic for my sisters wedding after seeing them perform at Cheltenham Races where they had a huge crowd going wild! They had the same desired effect at the wedding where everyone loved them, their music appealing to young and old with a varied repertoire of Irish music and hits and crowd pleasers from Elvis to Oasis. They were professional, friendly and a pleasure to deal with - I would not hesitate to recommend them."

"Kip and the band were excellent!! Brilliant, clear calling which made the evening both straightforward and so much fun. They had a lovely mix of songs - some that we had heard before and some new ones (to us) - but all perfectly performed. We had a joy filled evening dancing and would highly recommend this band to others."

"Hi Fiddlestix, Thanks for giving me a great evening for my 60th, lots of my friends who attended praised all the members of the band and asked me how I had found you in the first place. One of my friends would like to contact you with regards to the band. Would it be ok for me to forward your email contact details to him. Many thanks and once again I had a superb and fun evening. Regards, Juliet."

"Dear Black Velvet Band, Your Ceilidh band played at a Burns Night I attended last night at MOD Corsham. They were great and got everyone up and involved. Everyone really enjoyed it. "

"Dear Fiddlestix You were all BRILLIANT Saturday night! Thank you SO much, everyone really enjoyed your music and the dancing. Your caller must have had such a sore throat the next day (!), and I adored your little lady on that MASSIVE double bass! Thank you SO much for making my party such a success. You were fantastic, and I hope we can do something similar again soon. Maybe my husband's 60th in two years' time. Thank you SO much!!! Lots of love, Victoria xxxx "
