"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow!!…..What a fabulous performer!!! Iris totally smashed it and was the show stopper for my 50th birthday party She was in constant communication, talking through tweaks and was always accommodating and positive On the evening Iris was super prompt and was such a professional - mingling with guests whilst we had a few issues that delayed the start Her set up was super compact and inconspicuous - my guests didn’t realise at first that we had a singer!!… Iris’s performance was absolutely phenomenal!!…she was sultry, engaging, inclusive, playful and professional - everyone was talking about her!! I cannot express enough thanks to Iris as she really made the evening special If you want a showstopper then Iris is definitely your lady!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Iris is an excellent musician with a very special tone in the voice. Her stage presence and generally her kinesiology during the live performance is something that definitely does not go unnoticed. "

"We booked Iris for a 70th birthday brunch in a hotel. Iris was easy to deal with, making sure we agreed in advance what we wanted and how it would all work, including timings that didn't totally match the pre-set system options. Nothing was too much trouble and on the day Iris arrived in plenty of time, gave a great performance, was very pleasant and personable and delivery was spot on for the occasion, creating an excellent atmosphere in the room. We have no hesitation in recommending Iris for anyone else's event and would be more than happy to book her again in the future."

"Just to say everything was perfect! After doing lots of research and searching for a band to play our wedding we struggled for months to find anything that would be anything near perfect and then I found Somerset Soul after watching their video I knew straight away that was the perfect band for the big day! I was absolutely thrilled when they were available as well. It really was the best day and the band just topped an already perfect day! They turned up on time and quickly got set up and ready. They started with a request that they learned in two weeks ( which was covered beautifully) and continued with a superb set. They were friendly and enthusiastic. Every guest at the wedding really enjoyed them. I couldn't rate the day any higher."

"Iris was absolutely fantastic! We had the pleasure of booking her services for Valentine’s Day at our restaurant, and everything turned out to be perfect. From her warm and inviting presence to her attention to detail, she made the evening unforgettable. The ambiance she created was magical, and every moment felt special. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to elevate their experience!"

"The band was, not to beat about the bush, completely fantastic and surpassed all our expectations. I think some of our guests were truly gob-smacked.Honestly, our wedding was great and you and the band were a really important part of that, and we are very grateful and will remember the evening quite literally forever."

"I would like to say a big thank you to for your beautiful voice and to Clare (Sax) and Bruno (Piano) for the wonderful instrumental accompaniment at Ann’s (Annie) birthday celebration on Sunday. Everyone loved the music and “song list” and we will be talking about it for a long time to come."

"We just wanted to say thank you so much for your help in making our wedding on Good Friday such a great day. I'm sorry to have only spoken to you fleetingly but can safely say your sets were one of (if not the) highlights of the wedding. A complete dance floor filler and we had so many comments about how much people enjoyed your music. If you ever need any recommendations from real life couples, just give me a shout and I'd be happy to help. Many thanks and best wishes to you and the rest of the team. "

"We hired Count Down To Swing for our summer wedding, and couldn't have been happier with them. They are super efficient and easy to communicate with, making the whole process of booking them really straightforward and stress-free. The band itself is just brilliant: all our guests said so and the dance floor was full throughout their set. They really made the event. Down for the Count are so friendly, accommodating, talented and professional that we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone! "

"Soul Generations were absolutely fantastic at our wedding. Their repertoire was interesting and varied, so it was easy to select a really good set list together. Rhona, their manager, got in touch about a month before and asked if we wanted the band to learn something new for the first dance, which we thought was incredibly thoughtful. On the day, the band absolutely smashed it - from beginning to end. Their versions of each song was original, cool and on point. Nearly everyone asked where we had found the band, and said they were absolutely the best they'd heard. We loved every minute. Thank you!! X"
