"We've booked Grimshaw Audio in for our wedding a couple weeks ago and we just needed to let people know that Chris has been absolutely awesome! The booking itself and arrangements were super easy with Chris, the price for all the services that he provides is excellent and we couldn't recommend Grimshaw Audio enough. Chris made sure he was there way before we needed him just so he could make sure he would be set up on time, and sound engineered the whole evening which made us feel really safe about the equipment just in case anything had gone wrong. Honestly, we loved meeting Chris and we would recommend Grimshaw Audio to anyone who wants true quality equipment, value for money and reliability! 10/10! "

"Sophie was excellent! My wife and I were over the moon with the service she provided from her communication leading up to the wedding to her performance on the day. I couldn’t have asked for more and she was so lovely to speak to. Several guests commented on her playing and how much it added to the ceremony. Thank you so much Sophie!! - Chris & Aimee, September 2022"

"We hired Martin to play at our wedding during the arrival of the guests and during the wedding breakfast. We could not be happier with the professional service offered by Martin and quality of the songs he played during a 3 hour period. We received many compliments from the guests and would not hesitate in hiring Martin again. "

"Having seen Maria perform a stunning set at our annual Jingle Ball, I recently hired Maria for a Key 103 listener party and the feedback from all guests was excellent. The selection of songs was spot on and the dance floor was packed, I wish I'd have asked for an extra 1/2 hour!! "

"Nigel played on a grand piano at our wedding drinks reception at Shuttleworth house, Old Warden. Every piece played was beautiful and kept in with our theme. The music set a warm and joyful atmosphere on a very cold day. Nigel is very polite and made time to speak to guests after his performance. I highly recommend, it added a very special touch to our very special day. "

"We found Camille a short while before our big day as we decided on live music for our sit down meal instead of a playlist. This was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From start to finish Camille was super friendly, professional and kind. Most of all, she listened. She took the time to get to know us a couple and the vision we had for the day. It felt like we knew her before the big day came around. When it came to the sit down meal, Camille was attentive to the mood. We had a young child at the wedding who was getting a bit restless so Camille simply adjusted the volume of the backing track and her microphone and continued like it was nothing. So many of our guests were complimenting Camille’s vocals: these sound EVEN better in person. I’ll always remember dancing into the room to Camille’s vocals with my new hubby on my arm and catching a moment across the room with Camille whilst singing away to the music. Thank you for everything 🤍"

"It’s March and still raining. I’ve trawled through some serious procrastination to decide where I’m going tonight; at least three decent live music offerings in Chester that I know of. And I’m sure the others were brilliant. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience are, in their own words, a “tribute to the British Britpop music scene” and a “powerful combination of passion and quality.” A tribute band, to me, equals lunatic professionalism. To tribute a whole scene is a big ask. Good covers bands are rare enough, taking that enormous and unlikely step beyond random amateur recreation. But these guys really do tick the box of perfectionists, professional curators though. Friday night was time travel night with a set list that captured the point where British alt-rock got (largely) happy and popular (in a good way). A guitar-dominated, looping and lurching opener with Ocean Colour Scene and The Riverboat Song; polished and convincing. The second song in and I’m braving the dance floor with the pointy-shooed brigade. A few songs further and they offer me proof of their professionalism. A very-very-very long time ago I was lucky enough to make it into Brixton Academy and unfortunate enough to catch James on a sincerely off night. And I’ve heard James and Sit Down many times since: at home, on the radio, in DJ sets and covered more than it should be. It's one of those beautiful songs that gets tired through overuse. And on this particular Friday night I heard it come alive; all vitality restored. There were the things I expected; a good dose of Blur and Oasis both, Stereophonics, Bluetones and more, then some referencing back to foundation stones with The Who and The Jam. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience switched between styles and musical voices with conviction; into acoustic things and seamlessly back out again. The magic of seeing grown men dance without a pint in hand happened repeatedly through the two sets. On any given set you pray for that one song you don’t see coming; the track you might flick through on the album that becomes something else entirely live. So it was with Blur’s Charmless Man. That perfect Blur poetry, is simple, direct and delivered with energy. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience are a good distance from being charmless. They are careful collectors and curators of songs; fine musicians and performers!"

"The Line Up were our wedding band, and they were absolutely fantastic. They turned up on time, set up quickly and unobtrusively, then played 2 fantastic sets and DJ sets in between. They read the room perfectly and kept everyone dancing all night. Couldn't have asked for more from them and we highly recommend them to anyone thinking of hiring them."

"Jess! I just wanted to say thank you SO much for today- you were incredible! I think literally everyone who was there came up to say how amazing you were! Honestly though you were totally fabulous and the JB/Ed S song was the icing on the cake! Thank you so much for adding an extra special touch to an amazing afternoon! Loved everything about your performance it was simply perfect Xx "

"Flux Ensemble performed at our wedding, (Sunday 16th June, 2024), and from organising what music to play, (entrance/exit music, music for the signing etc.), through to the day itself, they were consistently friendly and utterly professional, and were not fazed one bit by our choices of tracks. Would thoroughly and wholeheartedly recommend!"
