Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"We want to thank It's No' Reel for a fabulous experience. They were professional from start to finish and their organisation is excellent. They were very open to be being flexible with the ceilidh and disco options. We even had a Skype call just to introduce each other and to explain what we wanted which is much better than email. The ceilidh was brilliant and as we had friends and family from different countries, the calling was clear and easy to understand. Everyone had so much fun, it was the perfect end to the day. Afterwards we received a video montage of the ceilidh which we have shared with our friends and family, a lovely added extra which we were not expecting. If you are looking for a ceilidh band, I would DEFINITELY recommend It's No' Reel, if you have half as much fun as we did you will not be disappointed!"

"Best supplier at our wedding by a mile. What an incredible young lady and unique set up. We can’t stop raving about booking Kiki and her Noughtie Boyz for our big day, they were absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, Kiki (and her very special Mumager!) exceeded all expectations, bringing guidance, direction and care with the booking and totally warm and high energy and fun to the celebration. Kiki's voice is absolutely stunning and she is such a beautiful soul. We had Kiki Solo in the ceremony and Kiki Trio in the drinks reception with guitarist and sax - all was pure perfection then in came the Band who kept the guests up on their feet, waving their hands and glow sticks from start to finish with their amazing medleys. We couldn’t have asked for a better vocalist and band to make our day special and unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend them for any event, big or small - they’ll blow you your guests away, in fact you won't stop moving and grooving! I know it was our day but it was the most incredible one yet! I need to plan another party now! I would not hesitate to book Kiki as a soloist or with her Noughtie Boyz - you will not be disappointed."

"Full marks for Fresh Grooves! Their videos looked great and they were on our budget so we were very happy to book them already. But having seen their performances, I can't recommend them enough! Top level musicians with plenty of energy to share! Our guests wouldn't stop raving about them."

"“It was a privilege to have Kibitz play on my recent BBC One Documentary ‘The Jews of Leeds’ Their live act is fun and full of energy, and inspired me to pick up a guitar and discover my own Eastern European roots through their music. We all need more Kibitz!” "

"Regarding 21C, our feedback is all very positive. The band were fantastic live- whilst the video on-line was good, it doesn't really do them justice. The quality of the sound & their performance was excellent. Their choice of songs was also just right, as was their interaction with our (occasionally slightly mad & inebriated) guests! They got everyone dancing and created a great atmosphere. Probably the best sign is that many people (including the discerning music lovers amongst the guests) told me later how much they had enjoyed the music & asked me who the band was/ how I had found them. The DJ was also great at maintaining the tempo & atmosphere. She did a great job of finding the spanish language tracks & mixing them into the night. But at the same time she adapted in order to keep everyone on the dance floor. Everyone was very flexible considering that the music started an hour later than planned & that they were interrupted for a few unexpected hiccups. We really appreciated therefore that everyone stayed until 1am and were still there packing up when we left. They were also great at checking with me if we wanted to stick to the original plan given the delay, how we wanted the music for the bouquet/ garter throwing etc. All in all, everyone was excellent & topped off a great day. I would happily recommend the band & the DJ for anyone's event."
