Review Centre: World Music Ensembles

"Francesca wowed a jazz loving crowd at our charity fundraiser in North London. Her sultry vocals put her unique stamp on standards like ‘All of me’ and ‘My funny Valentine’ and she also introduced us to her own prodigious song-writing talent with tracks from her recently released album “Devil’s Door”.  A very special evening."

"We and our guests absolutely loved the music, and we also appreciated the wonderful approach that you all took to the day, being extremely helpful around technical arrangements, and flexible and responsive to our needs. We also especially appreciated that you were happy to learn a couple of specific pieces of music and perform them for us. We had a lot of very positive comments about the music, and would definitely recommend you to others! "

"Travessia were such a special part of our wedding day, and we were so impressed by their professionalism and commitment to making the music absolutely spot on. They set a lively and atmospheric mood with their set list of Bossa Nova and Jazz, and later in the evening played their take on some of our requested tunes including Jewish celebration music and other more contemporary songs. Travessia's musicianship is some of the best on the scene and we were so thrilled that they were a part of our wedding. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and hope to be able to book them again for our next party!"

"Mozzle Brocha made a huge contribution to the Balfour Project event to mark the centenary of the Balfour Declaration at the Methodist Central Hall [Westminster, London, UK]. Their unique and charming blend of jazz, Jewish and Arabic music ‘framed' the evening."

"I just wanted to send an email to say thank you so much to you and Eleanor for being at our event on Sunday. It really made the evening to have you there, I have been flooded with messages from people since to say how much they enjoyed hearing your music. I’m a music grad (clarinettist) myself and it was important to me to have live music there and it was honestly just perfect. Thank you. We are following you on social media because we want to come to a concert so are keeping an eye on your upcoming concert dates! Best wishes Sophie "

"I just wanted to send you a quick email to say a very big "Thank You" for the performance at our Dinner & Music Night on 22nd October in Woking to celebrate my wedding to Nashita!! You and the band were brilliant, everyone had a great time and they all keep telling us that the night was so much fun. I personally also want to say that you guys were more entertaining than I could have imagined. The choice of song you picked out for our 'first dance' was excellent as it really is one of my favourite songs! :) Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the band. I hope that we can see you and the band perform again some time in the future. Once again, from myself, Mum and Nashita, thank you for making our night special. - Chandresh Pankhania"

"We wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding. Your performance was incredible and was everything we imagined. It was an absolute blast and gave us the perfect vibe for our wedding. Our guests were dancing nonstop and you provided us with such fun memories, especially dancing up close to the musicians when they came into the crowd! Thanks again. You were brilliant! "

"We booked the band for our wedding reception back in October. We are both huge Irish music fans and have had several memorable trips to Ireland so it was especially important to us to have a live Irish band on our big day. We spend a fair amount of time looking for the "perfect Irish band" and were over the moon to have found The Extonions. From the initial enquiry Mac was both friendly and very professional. He instantly made us feel like we had made the right decision and was more than happy to include any special song requests we had. He then made sure they included on the night and that everyone had a great time. All the band members were lovely and friendly chatting to our guests and fitted in perfectly with our relaxed party atmosphere. Many of our guests have commented on how great they were and we would not hesitate in booking them again in the future or recommending them to others. Thanks so much for making our wedding day so memorable."

"I had booked Emeralds for a couple of hours for my husbands 40th birthday. Before the event Wilf was in touch with me and we went over last minute details. Wilf came and played the steel pan beautifully as the guests arrived. It set a relaxing entrance for people to come and mingle before the dj began his music. A great start to the party and my guests loved to music too. Thank you last minute music and and obviously Wilf from The Emeralds too."

"Tijuca Taxi played at our anniversary party. He is an extremely talented multi-instrumentalist. He impressed everyone with his playing and singing and he was the talk of the evening. Live music adds a special dimension to an event and there is no better person to provide this than Tijuca Taxi. He is reliable, flexible and professional. We have no hesitation in recommending him. We look forward to booking Tijuca Taxi again for all our future family events."

"Hi Tomaso, I hope you are well today. I just wanted to email to say thank you ever so much for last night. It was lovely meeting the band, and you played beautifully! You were great to work with, extremely flexible, especially with last minute changes to the agenda. The guests really enjoyed the evening, and have given amazing feedback on the music – they said they would have liked to have spent more time watching you play, which is useful feedback for us to bear in mind for future dinners, and we will most certainly be in touch when looking for musicians again, you are all extremely talented! I hope you enjoyed your time last night, and that it all ran smoothly for you. Once we get the photos from the evening, I am happy to send you a few of the band if you would like. Anything else, do let me know. Thank you! Best Regards, Charlotte "
