"From our initial contact, the lead singer Lucinda demonstrated exceptional professionalism, attentiveness, and warmth. During our preliminary Microsoft Teams meeting, I outlined the event brief, and she listened with great care, offering insightful and creative suggestions that reflected her considerable experience. Following this discussion, the group prepared two outstanding set lists. On the evening of the event, they arrived well in advance to set up equipment and conduct a thorough sound check prior to the arrival of our guests. From the stage within the marquee, the group presented a striking visual presence and throughout the performance they completely captivated the audience! Despite the stormy weather and intermittent heavy rain, they carried effortlessly, maintaining clarity and strength against the elements. The Scott Standards are an exceptional talent, professional, reliable, and sophisticated. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking a world-class act to elevate their event. I can't wait to book them again!"

"When SoulNfunk, started with “pick up the pieces” my jaw dropped and I couldn’t find it for the remainder of the performance. It’s great to see a band where the instruments are not in the way, instead they complement the musician. Seeing Nords abused was a treat. Vocal was outstanding too…from Prince to Brown…and with such energy. phenomenal! It was a pleasure being the audience. Thank you. Marcin Gwozdz."

"So glad to have booked Casado, they played for around 80 guests before dinner and during. A lovely mix of music relaxing but happy. They worked on a special piece of music for us and even gave me the sheet music they found online as a momento. July 2019"

"Despite a few issues, out of our control per say, the Bilberries were amazing artists. Have already got them booked back in for a few more events. Easy to book with and easy to communicate throughout. Song choices were awesome and our guests and team enjoyed listening to them"

"We hired Karizma Duo to play 3 different sets at our wedding in September 2014. They played acoustically before,during and after our ceremony. They also played acoustic during afternoon tea and then we had a threesome play more lively stuff with percussion in the evening, therefore they were with us all day! I was in contact with Talisha via email and phone before the day and she was very patient and accommodating to our requests! Talisha's voice is just beautiful, absolutely flawless. As a duo they are fantastic - they played what we wanted to hear, interacted with our friends and family and were generally a joy to have at our wedding. They are reliable, professional and talented as well as being lovely people. If you're looking for live music at your wedding or party I would highly recommend Karizma Duo."

"Just wanted to say a very quick but hugely massiveee!! Thank you to you both for Saturday evening. We loved it and everyone kept saying where did I find you!! They are amazing!! So you were both really admired by all! You made it come together and we had some great dancing going on. I keep laughing, about you getting us all to chant "Wake the neighbours up!" haha hope it worked! They kept us until 5am the night before. Loved it. Thank you again."

"Below the Border delivered a fabulous set of 60s and 70s classics that saved our event from being a total washout, literally. They ended up playing in the corner of our kitchen whilst the rain poured down on the carefully prepared outside stage. They had us all transfixed and dancing within seconds despite the cramped conditions. Their good humour, enthusiasm and pure musicianship, combined with the appalling weather, made everyone watching feel like Glastonbury veterans by the end of the performance. I cannot recommend them highly enough."

"Simon was fantastic, his play list was brilliant. He had everybody up on their feet dancing. Made the party really special. Heather had a great voice and was a great asset. Everyone really enjoyed the music. The choice was great and I would thoroughly recommend Simon if you want your party to go with a bang. He was really professional, enthusiastic and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks so much Simon !!!! Jo"

"Rachel entertained us at our WI Group meeting - we had a really wonderful evening she immediately set everybody at ease with her lovely warm personality. She sang beautifully to a mixed age group choosing from a wide range of songs - classical/ musical and modern. She even managed several requests as well. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Rachel to sing at other WI events or to any of my friends. A big thank you Rachel. "

"We had The Lost Wallets for our wedding along with Jon DJing afterwards. They did not disappoint, a very talented band who put on a hell of a show, would highly recommend them to anyone looking for live music. All very talented musicians and friendly. Jon's dnb set was also fantastic and finished our wedding off perfectly! We cannot say thank you enough to each one of you."
