"I have seen this band perform many times over the years and find them consistantly very good. A good mixture of folk, Irish, humour and generally fun. They've always had the ability to make you want to get up and dance!"

"We first met Lazy Marmalade at a wedding fair back in October 2018. They instantly captured us with the songs they were playing, I think we stood and stared for a good 10 minutes! Lazy Marmalade were so helpful throughout when planning the wedding. They learnt our first dance song, a song which they hadn’t heard of before “Take my Hand by Picture This” and it was perfect. Followed by sterophonics, a family favourite which got everybody dancing. The guys not only performed several live sets but they also did the show sets. Playing music which we knew our guests loved. We had so many positive comments during and after the wedding about Lazy Marmalade. The guys have been professional and highly responsive from the start. They are perfect for weddings and other events. We would both highly recommend them, a pleasure to have as part of our day! "

"Edina and Tony played at our wedding in September and were amazing! They learn some special requests for us and even played me down the aisle to their own version of the Wedding March! They are extremely high calibre musicians and Edina was excellent to deal with, from booking to meeting in advance to run through the day's format. Thanks for giving an extra special atmosphere to our big day :) I have no hesitation recommending Du Fuego for any event. "

"The setting for our August 2018 wedding was the beautiful Arnos Vale’s Woodland Undercroft. There was a “Gothic Lite” theme to this largely (we had a marquee!) outdoor event which we wanted to be as informal as possible. It was important to us that everybody who was attending or contributing to the event felt that they were able to participate in the occasion as guests. For this reason we wanted musicians who we felt would “fit in” the with guests as well as playing the type of music that we wanted . Having trawled through various websites we discovered the “Hot Hats” and, having played their version of “Friday I’m In Love”, knew that we didn’t need to look any further. The sound was great and the image of the band was just what we wanted. Having then seen the band play a couple of times, it was clear that the personalities and sound was just what we wanted. As there was no particular running order for our afternoon reception, our brief to the band was, basically, “play when you think you need to” and this worked a treat. In addition we were played down the aisle to the band playing “I’m A Believer” which was a really special moment for us. There was good communication at the point of booking which was a painless process and continued contact with Alfie and his agent made arranging the event so much easier. We loved the band and the guests loved them as well. We would therefore have no hesitation in recommending the “Hot Hats” for your event. Martin & Nikki P.S. If there was a downside to our afternoon it was that Alfie (despite his best efforts) was unable to teach the bride to properly strum a guitar but, in the overall scheme of things, we’ll let that pass!"

"From day one you both have been a dream to work with. Very professional, prompt with email replies, polite, flexible and then there is your music! Wow! What can we say...you guys were amazing. The arrangement of Nessun Dorma and Happy both sounded incredible. Oh and Ave Maria was so special as it was the song that my mum walked down the aisle to and was a beautiful tribute to my parents and such a special moment too. When the doors opened and I could hear Nessun Dorma echoing throughout the church, I was overcome with the most amazing wave of emotion. It was truly so moving and there was not a dry eye in the house. My only regret was not actually being able to be there to hear you both play more at the beginning when our guests were arriving. I missed out! I'm actually on your facebook page listening to your music as I write this to make up for it (head bopping, foot tapping!) You are both such talented, gifted musicians and were a delight to listen to. We wish you every bit of success for your futures and thank you so much for making our day so special. We have no hesitation in recommending you and would 100% love to have you both play again for us at some future event for sure."

"The Soul Brothers were simply amazing at our Wedding. We got married in August 2014 and I worked with Allan to do a surprise soul set for my wife (she didn't know until Allan started singing) for the lul between the Wedding Breakfast Finishing and the Evening starting, whilst out evening guests were arriving. Allan the team we're amazing, took time to review my specific songs, and even rearranged some songs to our requirements. I would highly recommend The Soul Brothers"

"Kodiak Avenue have been so friendly, helpful & made me feel they were as excited to play at our wedding as we were to have them. They have a great repertoire and they play the music we love to listen to in their own acoustic style with beautiful harmonies. I felt privileged to have them play at our wedding!"

"Huge thank you to you and the band for the brilliant performance at our wedding. Tupelo Honey was perfect (although I fear there will be limited opportunities for re-use for you!), I loved Sally Maclennane, it was great to see a lot of people who probably haven't danced in years hit the dance floor, and Nicole particularly enjoyed being the guest drummer on Mustang Sally. We had a lot of people saying how excellent the band was."
