Bio: Jellied Reels started life as a "works band" playing covers at social gatherings.
Our first public outings were for charities and fundraisers and our style has morphed from a standard Traditional Ceilidh set to a more "Rock 'n Reel" style we have today.

Since that time we've played all sorts of ... See Full Bio

“Just wanted o say thank you to you and the rest of the band for a fantastic Ceilidh at our wedding. You were a massive hit and we had lots of positive comments about you! We were really impressed how organised you were so thank you for your help in making the day run smoothly, as well making it so much fun for everyone. Thank you! Liz & Simon”

— Liz & Simon, email

“My 50th birthday party was everything I had hoped it would be. Jellied Reels proved to be a great choice! My purist folk fan friends appreciated your "twist" on ceilidh and the old rockers were in their element.”

— D Wagnall, Email

“Thank you all so much for playing for us on Sat. 5th Feb, you will pleased to hear we raised £732.80 for "Save the Children" so a big thank to you all, I have booked the hall for the first Sat. in Feb. 2012! ”

— Patt Hogg - Organiser Extraordinaire, email

“Great chemistry on stage between band and caller”

— Dave Parsons, Ruff Ceilidh organiser

“We had a fantastic night and lots of people commented on how good the band was. Jellied Reels was friendly and helpful throughout – from making the first enquiry to calling the dances at the wedding. We appreciate all the effort the band made and would heartily recommend Jellied Reels!”

— Jo & Graham - Bride and Groom, Westonbirt Wedding, Email feedback

“I wish we'd found this band (Jellied Reels) years ago”

— Dave Parsons, Ruff Ceilidh organiser

“Thanks to the Jellied Reels for playing on our wedding night. It was brilliant that you were able to come and set up beforehand, reducing the time we had to wait before the dancing got started. You helped to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere. ”

— Jo & Graham (Bride & Groom), Email feedback

“The calling and dancing was at a level which everyone could join in with, and the band was great at getting people involved. The dances were a good pace with a couple of active ones, followed by a chilled track, when people could get a drink.”

— Jo & Graham (Bride & Groom), Email feedback

“The Jellied Reels are all competent Musicians and they are VERY good at what they do. The caller explains the next dance to the audience and off they go. A few times during their set, after the dancers were confident, the band would morph the song they were playing into a rock classic, imagine a bunch of people barn dancing to Paint it Black by the Stones and you will understand my sense of surrealism at times during this event.”

— Kevin, Bristol Rocks

"Thank you so much for such a great evening, I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews from all the delegates. Thanks again and I hope to work with you on another conference in the not too distant future."

— Kate Openshaw, Organiser, via email
