Blue Jar - Duo - Paphos, Cyprus Event Location: Coral Bay, Peyia, Cyprus Event Type: Dining Residency 1st October 2018

We have known Blue Jar for many years from their reputation in Peyia, )Paphos) and have had them perform in our Italian restaurant since 2010. With their Irish charm and character, they stand out with their level of experience and quality of performance. They are always well presented. They regularly get requests during our evening dinner service and often know the song or endeavour to learn it for the following performance. They must have a repertoire of 1000+. They provide ambience for romantic dining as well as more boisterous parties. We have become friends over the years as we've built a strong working relationship and wish them every success wherever they may travel.

Blue Jar - Duo - Paphos, Cyprus Event Location: Belfast, Northern Ireland Event Type: Corporate Event 5th July 2018

The Merchant Hotel Belfast is a sumptuous 5-star hotel situated in the historical Cathedral Quarter of the city centre. The magnificent Grade 1 listed property has been sensitively restored to its original splendour and is now regarded as one of the top hotels in Northern Ireland. Blue Jar has been entertaining visitors to The Great Room Restaurant of The Merchant since doors opened in April 2006. The variety of music they offer has enhanced our Traditional Afternoon Teas due to the style and panache with which they play and the originality of their repertoire has set them apart from any other musicians who have auditioned to perform at our events. They are professional and adaptable in their approach to each performance and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
