"My first experience of a live steel band was listening to “Caribbean Heatwave” on board P & O cruise ship Ventura. And what an experience!! Heatwave gave passengers a wonderful Caribbean musical introduction, playing lots of popular reggae and traditional songs, but coupled with well-known ballads and even some wonderful jazz numbers which went down a treat when we were in New Orleans. The leader of the group was amazing to watch (he plays with four sticks) and showed his huge personality, skill and talent as he produced fantastic sounds from two pans. Great to watch a consummate performer in action. I wish him well, and his band."

"My partner and I spent ages looking for the perfect band for our wedding and even though we live in London and the band are from Liverpool, as soon as we saw them we knew we had to book them. Let me just say - they did NOT disappoint. Micki sang our first dance song "All Of Me" so beautifully and we'll remember that special moment forever. After that the party really started and everybody danced all night long. We loved that the band included sax, as you don't always get that option with a smaller line up. The whole band were just incredible and great performers too. Micki's voice is literally one of the best I've heard live. Book them, you won't regret it!"

"We hired this jazz-pop guitar duo for our wedding reception, and they were absolutely incredible! From the moment they started playing, the atmosphere was spot on, and everyone kept asking us where we found them. They played a perfect mix of jazz standards and pop hits. They were professional, easy to work with, and created the perfect soundtrack for our day. Highly recommend! "

"Neil and his team did a great job and were very flexible and pleasant to deal with on the day. The acoustic set during the drinks was just the right tone for a sunny afternoon, the set in the evening was a great combination of real classics for all generations to enjoy and some more current stuff which really helps liven the party up and the singer was very good and engaging in terms of getting everyone involved. On a day when there was a lot going on Neil and his team arrived, set up and just got with the job which was much appreciated. Would certainly recommend them to anyone else looking for this type of music at their wedding."

"Well! Where do I start? Whisky & Ginger were just incredible. I cannot thank them enough. Every single song was exactly what the crowd wanted, and they even played some of our requests (sorry there were quite a few!). People are still talking about how good they were a week after our party. We would recommend anybody who is in two minds about booking to do so. Worth every penny. We’ll defo be booking again! Thank you thank you thank you!"

"Huge thanks to Tony and the rest of the band for playing at our wedding reception. You were absolutely amazing and kept the dance floor filled all night! We had many compliments from our guests on the choice of band and I have to say you absolutely made our night! The extra special touch of learning our special Elvis song was very much appreciated and meant the world to us. We can’t thank you enough!"
