"If you’re thinking about booking this band - just do it! They are so talented, and really set the tone for a great night. All of our guests commented on how amazing the band were, and our first dance couldn’t have sounded any better. Thanks so much guys!"

"At our pub we like to mix it up a bit with different style acts, we had Sean booked in for last Saturday and he didn’t disappoint, rather than singing along to backing tracks it was all acoustic, he played such a varied mix of songs and they all went down amazingly ñ well and got the whole place singing along, we can’t wait to have him back again, Ronnie & Mat, The Alma, Sidcup We do look forward to seeing you again, thanks Sean "

"Harry was excellent, every guest commented on his professionalism, quality and choice of music, very smart appearance, and to cap it all he is a thoroughly pleasant, personable gentleman. I would have him play again for us anytime, any type of gathering. I unreservedly recommend Harry to anyone in need of a Bagpiper."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio / Georgia's Wedding Ceilidh / October 2024 It was so much fun to have the trio along and they were so clear with their instructions that even the French at our wedding could follow along. Mike’s communication was superb and at one point extremely helpful by replying quickly with a key document, as we dealt with a problem with our venue. Thank you all."

"There is absolutely no question about Louise's talent, attention to details, patience and professionalism. Here's the reasons on why Louise is a must-have cellist at your event: From the get-go, she responded to emails promptly and was very helpful in providing me all the relevant details as well as what type of equipment might be needed. Louise is completely transparent and charges good rates for her work. Louise made sure that she learned and accommodated all the songs I wanted played during my wedding ceremony. She dealt with an indecisive bridezilla like me and sent me multiple versions of recordings to choose from with no hesitation and really quickly. She went one step further and contacted me when I was too swamped and forgot to reply to her with my song preference one week before my wedding. She caused me no issues on the day of my ceremony and arrived early with her setup ready to go. She was helpful in reminding me that music can be played as we signed our marriage registration as well and I left it in her capable hands to play a song for me and she did that. That was the explanation for her professionalism but now for her talent.... My walk down the aisle was an absolute dream- I am an extremely hard to please person (trust me, I am an absolute Karen) but she did such an impeccable job, I was singing her praises even the next day. Right before I walked down the aisle, she had perfect timing- she stopped playing minutes before I came out and my partner said that added to the tension and she played the Iris by goo goo dolls (my chosen song for my wedding march). The beauty of her cello in the large hackney Atria was so amazing, the feeling in the room was indescribable. My partner (that never cries) was crying as I walked down the aisle. The music amplified our emotions and it was so romantic!! I was getting emotional as well. At the end of our ceremony, her rendition of accidentally in love was so upbeat and nice! She continued playing as I made it to the end and it was beautiful, she stopped at the perfect time and I just can't get over that very moment. After the entire ceremony, poor Louise didn't take any breaks and kept playing all the songs I chose. She is extremely extremely professional and the nicest person. This is not a bias or paid review but honestly, I love her work so much. Definitely recommending her to anyone I know getting married. Also, I've watched multiple cello videos on Youtube of Iris and on other sites, and the notes used were always never quite right for me (even though I am not a musician by any measurement of the imagination) but I knew I wanted something slower yet still capturing the emotion and attention and she played it perfectly without me even telling her about what I was thinking. A true professional that doesn't need any hand holding or guidance. She does it all to perfection. Louise, you made my wedding day really special. Thank you so much, I really made the right choice with you. "

"Sarah was absolutely amazing. She helped make our special day extra special. All our guests were impressed by her beautiful voice and playing the baby piano. We would highly recommend Sarah. Sarah travels frequently but she still managed to keep us informed and the dialogue going, which we very much appreciated."

"Great range of music provided, and I especially liked the clarinet and saxophone pieces. For me the volume was about right and provided the right ambience for the event."

"I stumbled across Glen whilst looking for entertainment for a French themed evening I was hosting at my bistro last month. From the minute I made contact with Glen I knew he was the man for the job and boy did he blow us away with his talent. I would recommend Glen to any one looking for that special professional accompaniment to an event. "

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for playing at our wedding yesterday. The playing of our song choice was beautiful and really created the romantic, elegant setting that I was hoping for. I can't believe I managed not to cry during my entrance as I just love that song so much. The guests were telling me how beautiful it was having yourself playing at the drinks reception and that it created a wonderful atmosphere."

"Thanks so much to all The Shakesters for such a brilliant evenings entertainment. A really nice bunch of guys that seemed to enjoy themselves as much as we did, as we danced the night away. Their kindness in supporting our charity event for Childs Trust made a huge difference to the evenings success and we’re really grateful. We’re all looking forward to you playing at Oakley Infant School in March. We’d recommend you guys in a heartbeat."
