"Wow! look no further in your search for a band! Absolute played an acoustic set during the day and then 2 full band sets in the evening of our wedding on 7/8/21. All of which were incredible! They were so adaptive when we ended up with the first dance at the end of the first set and really felt the vibe of the wedding and selected a great range of songs to suit!! The dancefloor was full all evening which says it all. Everyone commented on how good they were. AMAZING! Book them now!! James and Amy, Wedding at Top Farm in Norfolk – 7th August 2021 "

"Our huge thanks go to everyone in Soul West for two great concerts last weekend. All of us at the 2013 Babbacombe Festival Marquee were delighted to have you play at our incredible retro funk night on the Saturday and again at the Hanbury's Music Day on the Sunday. Both events were a wonderful success and the Festival Marquee came alive whenever you played. We not only appreciate the great music but also the ease of communication and planning prior to the event. Your professionalism made our job so much easier."

"EVERYBODY needs to have this Gospel Choir for their wedding/events. When I first saw them at a wedding fair I couldn’t leave the room I was that drawn to them. We booked them for our wedding day for welcoming, ceremony and drinks. Throughout the day numerous guests came up to us to say ‘wow they are good where did you find them!!’ and messages after to ask for their details to pass onto family and friends. They truly sound and look perfect. We can’t thank you all enough for your professionalism, ability to adapt and being the most special part of our day."

"Brilliant band and 100% recommend!!! We had them for our wedding in Somerset. Great communication, played all of the type of music we requested, they got everyone up dancing (and laughing with their sense of humour) and it was all done in a professional way. Hope one of our friends uses them in the future so we get to see them again. A big thanks guys! Love, the new Mr and Mrs Powell xxx "

"Paul's contribution to our event was fantastic. He is very professional, very punctual and flexible. The organisation of the event and preparation of the music for it was a incredibly easy and fast. His performance on the night was highly praised by all our guests, which included 32 Brazilian students. They enjoyed themselves greatly and we look forward to having him at our university again!"

"Can’t recommend these guys enough; super professional set up and sound- had loads of compliments from our guests about them and really nice guys too. If you’re looking for a band that’s super polished- a little bit different than your average 4 piece then book these guys you definitely won’t be disappointed ????"

"Hey Rory. Hope you're doing well mate... Just wanted to give you a quick message just to say thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, so much, for yesterday... The performance you gave at our wedding ceremony was just absolutely amazing. The amount of people who came up to me and said "your saxophonist was just out of this world". Honestly, it was amazing. And we're so grateful that you did such a wonderful job... The fact that you could go on for so long / as long as you did... This is going to sound a bit weird but you have some amazing lungs. So, just wanted to give you a quick note here. I saw an e-mail from you. I will definitely write a review as well. But I just wanted to leave you this quick note to say thank you so much for your performance and you were just absolutely terrific. Well done again. You really made our day. So happy I hired you. I really am. And, who knows? If we ever do another ceremony in the future... I know one of my friends is interested in contacting you, that's for sure. But if I ever do anything and I need a saxophonist, you're right at the top of my list, for sure." "Thanks again for your great performance on Saturday as well as your wonderful comments on our wedding, too.
We are more than happy to leave a review for you especially after the joy you brought us and our guests on mine and Rachel’s special day:
What can we say about Rory, the music he provided throughout our wedding meal was quite simply outstanding! The ability he has not only with a saxophone but with a flute is amazing, he is supremely talented with these instruments and had our guests thoroughly entertained with his seamless performance. For over 2 hours he treated us all to a wonderful playlist of songs, we even joked that he must have the most incredible lungs to be able to go on for such a long time!
We also have to thank Rory for the patience he had in fulfilling our request to perform at our wedding, due to Covid we had to reschedule our wedding 2 times over the course of nearly 2 years since we first booked him so we’re so thankful that he never let us down. We would highly recommend Rory to anyone looking for someone to provide a musical performance at any event, from our experience he’ll provide you with a truly memorable experience that people will always talk about! Again we can’t thank you enough for helping to make our day everything we dreamed of, as we said any other event we do where we need music then we’ll be sure to contact you!
All the best,
Kel & Rachel Married October 2021 "We can only thank you because it was a big part of the wedding, and it was just beautiful how good you were in regards to the saxophone. We are so very, very happy. Hope you are happy, too. We will definitely keep you in mind if we do any other big event, for sure. You will be one of the first names we remember. That's for sure. Hopefully, our paths will cross again soon. Just want to wish you the greatest of luck in all your future endeavours."

"‘Kitty Galactic’ added a big wow factor to our wedding! They were amazing and everyone loved them, young and old! My wedding dress shows the signs of some much loved dancing (with no shoes by the end) to this fabulous band! "

"For our Wedding, Ley played the classical guitar for us during the Wedding Breakfast, and it created a fantastic ambience for the meal. He also played at our Evening Reception, and it is wonderful to look back at some great pictures of a dance floor packed with our guests.  The clever thing about his music for a wedding is that it spans the generations so everyone joins in. I know that my father was thrilled to be granted a wish to have his special song played for me at my wedding.  Ley learned the song especially and kept it as a surprise for me on the day. Ley also learned ‘our song’ for the First Dance. He performed a fantastic version of the original, it was amazing as all he was given was a CD to listen to. It was such a great personal touch to make the day extra special."

"Hi Sarah Yes thanks they were really , professional and played well . First half guests were slow to get up which is typical at events as well and nothing to do with their performance . Things got going second half and later on it was buzzing . So all good , we had a great night Please thank the act . "
