"We enjoyed a great evening with the brilliant music and energy of Blue Jewell. Kip is a fabulous caller - clear, witty and energising - and the band are fabulous. Highly recommended for a fab evening of varied and inclusive ceilidh dancing."

"I got in touch with Part-B after a recommendation from a long-standing friend but didn't really know what we wanted to do in terms of entertainment for a large family gathering. Sam was so helpful on the phone, listened to all of my thoughts and put together the most perfect performance. They played all of my favorite Motown songs and also some new music that the children enjoyed - everyone thought they were amazing and danced the night away. Thank you so much - I will definitely be in touch again for any future family events."

"The Kings of Hot Swing played at our wedding reception, we loved the performance and style. The guys really made the evening special and played our first dance music, which they learned especially for us. All of our guests commented on how good the music was and how it created the perfect relaxed and fun atmosphere to our wedding reception. Thanks so much, it was a perfect end to our wedding day."

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you to The Bandits for playing at our wedding. We had run totally over but the stress dissipated when you guys started playing and had everyone up in no time! We were absolutely exhausted from all the dancing. Our guests loved you all the way from the 4-year-old to the 94-year-old! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you, and we look forward to seeing you perform again!"

"Where do I start! I booked these guys for my sons 21st birthday party and they exceeded all of my expectations. Myself and my husband go to watch a lot of live bands and these lads are by far the best band we have seen! From the moment they went on stage to the last song of the night they had everyone drawn to the dance floor, can’t thank you enough lads! Pleasure to work with from start to finish would highly recommend!!!"

"Had Steve and Milka perform for us at our wedding July 2025. WOW what a performance and sound they produced and created a fantastic atmosphere which was a great start to our fantastic day. Both Steve and Milka were very engaging professional and accomplished. Communicating with Steve from my initial enquiry to our communication a week or so before our wedding to finalise the play list was excelllent. Steve’s guidance on what would work for them in terms of arrangement for the piano and violin was invaluable. All of our guests thought their performance in its entirety was excellent. I would thoroughly recommend their hiring to perform at your wedding or any other event that you want to have professional musicians performing on the piano and violin as a duet. Thank you Steve and Milka"

"Hi Alun We had an amazing wedding and you guys were fantastic. Your set provided a fitting climax to the best day of our lives. Particular thanks for your patience during the power cut! We really enjoyed your drummer joining in with our guests during their sing-song acapela rendition of Hey Jude while the lights were out. Hope to see Graffiti play again somewhere soon. Many thanks Matt and Helen Thorpe - Wedding: The Ceridwen Centre, Carmarthen, Sat 29 September 2018"

"Casado played for our 25th Wedding Anniversary garden party in July 2022. They were great and knew exactly what to play to suit the event. We would highly recommend them. "

"St Patrick's night at the Old Fire House Exeter was electric last night. The Extonions were well on form and had the place buzzing. Mac on his green electric fiddle raced away with jigs getting faster and faster, I'm surprised his fiddle didn't catch fire. Mike sang in his sexy Hank Marvin deep gravel voice with a lovely Irish twang. That got the ladies swooning. John swapped with ease from 6 to 12 string guitar and kept up a driving beat together with fingers flying over the strings to create a magical sound. James maintained the foundation of the band with solid bass. The place was so packed it was like how many people can you get in a telephone box, they just kept pouring in. There must have been hundreds at the gig. Feedback said it was the best St Patrick's venue in Exeter that night and greatly down to The Extonions. I highly recommend you don't miss their next gig."

So sorry for this late reply but we have been busy. We loved playing there although mature talented experienced musicians the younger audience went wild and like you said thought it was the best St Patrick's Night Exeter in Exeter. Mac 🙂 🎨 🎻

"Anne, thank you so much for that beautiful beautiful music! You really made our ceremony lovely. We can't recommend you highly enough. We received so many compliments on our string quartet. We hope that the set up went smoothly and you managed to find the kitchette and had time for tea/coffee etc. Many many thanks once again! Sabina and Dave x "

"The musicians were just lovely, very friendly... didn't need any guidance and just got on with their job. They looked very presentable and played a beautiful mix of classical and modern music."
