Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"“We were delighted with the Hot Four, who we hired for out Vintage-style Wedding. Selecting a band was tough, but the Hot Four’s history and their ability to play vingtage-style won us over. I got goosebumps listening to the lead singer online and knew they were the right choice. The band played one vingtage set and one modern set, and we were blown away by how many people got up and danced right from the start! The vibe was a perfect fit for out wedding, rhey set up before dinner and performed flawlessly throughout. They learned a new track for our first dance and, on the day, they were accommodation in shot]rtening it slightly on our request. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better band. They truly made our wedding memorable, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented and professional musicians who specialise in a vintage style. Thank you the Hot Four! "

"We hired the Upbeats Duo for my wifes 50th birthday party and they were genuinely fantastic. Communication throughout the booking process and run up to the party was first class. They arrived on time and were set-up and ready to go exactly to the timetable we had agreed. The performance itself was really good and they had added a couple of my wife's favourites into the set. We were a fairly small group of fifty but that did not dampen the Upbeats enthusiasm. If you booked them for an event I can't see how you would be disappointed."

"Thank you for your excellent performance at our wedding. We had an amazing day and thanks to you it ended on a real high. All of our guests commented on how great the band was. Thank you also for sorting out the mics for the speeches – you truly came to the rescue! Wishing you every success for the future. We would recommend you highly to anyone, it was a very professional gig from very talented guys, it really brings a smile to my face looking back on the evening. "

"We booked the Donaghue Quartet after finding them on the internet, for my fathers memorial service. They were just fantastic and made the whole service very special indeed, their solo pieces were just fantastic. Their were well rehearsed and we can’t thank them enough for turning the service into something very unique and very memorable- thank you ? "

"Oh what a night it was! Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio was the perfect choice for a celebration. They chose dances that matched the skill and enthusiasm of my guests. Setting the right pace is good when lots of guests belong to a running club! Guests from Hong Kong, Greece, Vietnam China and USA had no idea what they were coming to … The band arrived on time, setting up easily and Phil’s friendly manner of instruction was just right. My 6 year old niece (who is VERY shy) shocked her mother by joining the dancing! Lovely comments from guests: “I haven’t danced like that in years” and ” The most fun and dis-organised chaos I’ve had in ages!”"

"a day ago- Great Ceilidh for my sisters wedding! I really enjoyed it and it was lead really well. The sound was great and travelled well throughout the hall. The dancing was energetic from all and the calling was helpful and authentic. The musicians in the band were great people and were encouraging and fun. I would thoroughly recommend them and book them for my own wedding! 10/10! Well done guys!"

"They were really good, lots of compliments all round, and very accommodating when a few intoxicated guests grabbed the mike, or wanted to play the drums...please pass on my thanks to all, and I will definitely recommend to others, and consider for future use."

"They were lovely people and everyone there enjoyed their music. It was a Country Fair and due to their efforts we had people dancing on the grass with straw bales around to sit on. Happy people! Job well done. Thank you. We would certainly book them again for another event."

"Das Brass were one of the highlights of the wedding- all the guests could not stop talking about them on the day and after. They walked us and the wedding party through the park and everyone else in the public was loving it too. The guys were brilliant and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for something a bit different that everyone will love. "

Everyone is raving about the set you did - and everyone wishes that you could have gone on even longer - always a good sign!! We would certainly recommend you to our friends and also use you again. Please pass our massive thanks and appreciation on to the band. You made our evening a fantastic success."
