"I have listened to Jonathan Vinten with real pleasure over a number of years, playing solo, with his trio and recently with the full six piece band. Whatever the venue, ranging from the humble surroundings of the Tunbridge Wells Jazz Club to Leeds Castle, the Savoy Hotel London or the Grand at Brighton, his sheer quality as a musician stands out, as does the range of his repertoire. You need no telling that he has played with the very best in the business, yet, unlike some jazz musicians who seem to play for their own pleasure, Jonathan always sets out to entertain his audience. The standard of the trio is impressive. I have heard the “big” band only once so far but it was a joy, with a fine balance and extended solos you just had to listen to. I don’t get to hear him and the band often enough and, with my partner and friends, make a New Year resolution to put that right. "

"Can't recommend Kodiak Avenue enough after they played for us at a family party. They were friendly, accommodating, and professional, but more importantly, talented! Aside from a beautiful voice and exquisite guitar playing, they pitched the playlist just right with some lovely song choices. It was a garden party so lots of distractions going on (small children etc.) but they managed to deliver a brilliant set in a very relaxed way. My parents were really happy with how the music went, as was I and everyone I spoke to."

"Diamonds & Pearls were the most amazing and wonderful band who we had at our wedding last year. Helen has one of a kind voice which our guests were blown away by! Not only that, but they were so flexible and sang a song they'd never done before and sent us it beforehand! 100% recommend, our only regret is that we didn't hire them for longer!!"

"I would just like to let you know how pleased we were with the three young people that provided our steel band entertainment for my wedding in Devon on 26th May. They were absolutely brilliant and as it was a hot sunny day they really set the mood for our Caribbean-themed wedding. Please could you make sure you pass on a big thank you from myself and my husband. Thank you."

"We hired the London String Trio for a corporate event and they were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Communication was seamless and they made everything so easy to organise, which really took the stress out of planning. On the day, their music completely elevated the atmosphere -elegant, uplifting, and perfectly suited to the event. They’re not only talented musicians but also such a pleasure to work with. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking to add something truly special to their occasion."

"What a wonderfully talented person! I cannot recommend Sarah enough! She played for us at an event in the early evening. Her playlist of cover tracks was perfect - popular songs for all ages that created a really magical atmosphere as the sun set! Sarah has a gorgeous voice, and to top it off she is a really lovely person too!"

"If you are thinking of booking Soul Messengers for your event, please don't hesitate. Azu has the most amazing voice and Filippo is a wizard on the guitar. Together they are a class act and they brought that special something to our party. Our guests were blown away by how good they were and I would book them again any time."

"Hi Talisha, Three weeks into our now marriage life, we wanted to give you a BIG thank you for playing at our special day. You were loved by everyone - guests and neighbours alike - and of course, by us too.​ We hope you are all doing great and spreading your 'karizma' with more people."

"HayLee was fantastic! What a great band!! They were a pleasure to deal with in the run up to our wedding, and lovely to meet on the day. Hayley and Lee were so professional, and they played a variety of songs that had plenty of our guests up on the dance floor, some of whom we wouldn't have expected to be up and dancing! They read the audience perfectly, and as others have mentioned, they learnt some tracks that we had asked for specifically. As we had a Christmas wedding, we had a sprinkle of Christmas songs mixed in, which was ideal, and a lovely 'live lounge' session as the evening wound down. We would definitely recommend HayLee, and if we need a band again in the future, they will be top of our list of invites! Thank you again! Hayley and Lee"
