"Alfie was a real gem at our recent wedding. He gave us the attention and care that was needed in a situation that called for versatility, love and respect. He was in every way an ideal choice with a lovely attitude, just what we needed for an unusual wedding with guests spanning all generations, from 4 years old to 90 years old. There was a kindness and generosity of spirit that you don’t often find. Everyone enjoyed his contribution to the wedding and I would book him again and again."

"The Confidential Band played at my Daughters wedding and being a Musician myself I did spend hours looking at the internet trying to find the right band. I can now save you that Time. Book the Confidential Band you cannot go wrong. A great bunch of people to deal with and highly talented Musicians with a very professional presentation of all the songs that will get your party dancing until the end of the evening. The Confidential Band are the Real Deal."

"I have been to two of Matthew’s shows, and both myself and my nanna have had a fab time! Matthew is an amazing entertainer, and an even better singer. I would certainly recommend him for all occasions!"

"Great set for the Sunday afternoon session at the 2025 East Anglian Beer & Cider Festival. Great sound and some real 'bangers' to keep the crowd entertained. Perfect end to a lovely Sunday session."

"These guys were unbelievable for our wedding festival. We had four bands throughout the day with Pop Pickers playing as the 3rd band as we started with an acoustic singer/guitarist and then an Irish band whilst we were having dinner. Pop Pickers kicked the main party of with our first dance, with the song 'Be My Baby' by the Ronettes. They were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. All our guests absolutely loved them and their music. They played 50's,60's and 70's . We initially chose them as we were looking for a band to play our main dance song to and once we started looking at their entire music catalogue, we were really impressed and knew that the mixture of music from the years would be great for our wedding. Really nice guys and very talented and professional. We would highly recommend Pop Pickers. Top class. Thankyou "

"From the very first note under the Chuppah, we knew we were experiencing something extraordinary. Simcha Sounds brought a depth of artistry and sensitivity that elevated every moment of our day. Their rendition of Im Eshkachech Yerushalayim was so moving it reduced many of our guests to tears, and yet only a short while later those same guests were lifted high on chairs during the Hora, celebrating with unrestrained joy. Beyond their world-class musicianship, what truly stood out was their instinctive ability to read the room and seamlessly guide the evening from one moment to the next. The Dorchester can be a challenging venue acoustically, yet they handled it with total professionalism and elegance. Our wedding was unforgettable, and Simcha Sounds played a central role in making it so."

"Paul was 100% professional, he turned up early, and he is a nice guy to deal with. He has a lovely sounding Godin guitar and plays it like a dream. It made the birthday special."

"I would like to say a huge Thank you to Groove Allstars for playing at The WECare charity ball at the Hilton Gateshead. What talented musicians you all are and you did an amazing job of getting everyone up and dancing all night. You played a great mix of songs and everyone commented how fabulous you were. You were professional to deal with in every respect and I will be recommending you to others organising weddings or events.

"For anyone reading this I urge you to give Andy a try, he is brilliant with a great personality to match. I don’t have a vested interest, Lisa and I were just an incredibly happy couple who’s wedding Andy attended in August last year. We have since seen him at a gig and he was equally entertaining."

"Booked Bry the singer/guitarist and Emma on violin for my 50th in Holywood. Thanks so much again for your amazing set on my birthday, everybody loved it and you hit the tone completely spot on (even with a little sprinkling of “my Tiffany” in the mix!!!) I already had a group of 80 something people on the WhatsApp for the party, and have left all your details for them to reach out for any other parties / celebrations in the future. "

"Wow! What a performance! Believe me, the amount of praise i got from the written comments (sugestion slips) and also verbally about you and your group should make you proud of your abilities. I personally found you very professional, polite and straight forward to deal with. I will definitely recommend you to all my contacts. Please thank all you group members for a really enjoyable night on saturday. The place rocked! "

"The Line Up played at our wedding in August 2021. During the booking process they were very professional, fast to reply, and answered all our questions. On the day they arrived on time and played a fantastic set, including our choice of first dance and lots of our requests. I would highly recommend them for a wedding or any other event."

"Sorry it’s taken me to come back to you, but just a quick note to say thank you to all of you for your entertainment at our Mechoui party a few weeks ago. It worked really well and everybody made very favourable comments about Los Musicos. And we were extremely lucky with the weather as well. Hope to see you in the future…..I will pass your details on to all who ask me for them."
