"I just wanted to send a quick note to say how much we really enjoyed your sets on Saturday night. We had an absolute ball, the dance floor was totally full for your live bits and it never emptied - perfect!! Not only did we really enjoy it but loads of the guests made a point of saying how much they'd enjoyed it too. Thanks so much for helping to make our wedding exactly what we wanted."

"So these guys played at our wedding last year, and gave us a night to remember. Despite difficult circumstances....lots of kilted men showing things they shouldn't they still made our night! Highly recommend them!"

"Best birthday party ever thanks to Pop Punk’d. The nostalgia was incredible and everyone from 20 to 60 was singing along."

"Our planned wedding band let us down last minute, got in touch with Rowan with only a week to spare and he got the band together in a short space of time and did an excellent job, no doubt a better choice than the original ceilidh band we chose! My parents especially kept saying how much they loved the music."

"The Fireflies did a fantastic job at my 50th birthday party. The set was spot-on, the performance first class and everyone has said to me how great the band were. The communication and organisation was excellent and the band could not have done more to make it special for me. They agreed to learn a song that I wanted to sing and were warm and reassuring on the day when I was very nervous. Great band, good people and I would thoroughly recommend them. Thank you guys."

"Party Sounds were simply excellent. Not only was the music fantastic, but they are really nice guys too. Helpful and supportive, the dance floor was packed from start to finish. We had a varied age group at the party and all enjoyed the performance without exception. I would highly recommend this band and if I was hosting another party they would be the first band I would contact."

"Adam was really good throughout the booking, responding to emails quickly, providing an extensive set list to pick songs we definitely wanted, ones we didn’t mind either way and ones we didn’t want. He also sent a test clip singing our first dance song to see if we wanted the track or the band - we definitely wanted the band! The band were so good and kept a full dance floor all night, throughout their sets and DJ’ing. They had a friendly and professional attitude. Thanks so much! Ellie & Tom"

"Where to begin? We first had the Fireflies for our wedding reception in 2019. They MADE our wedding reception, nobody had any option but to dance with the songs that were being played. We then asked them to come back and play for Sarah’s birthday - it was a complete surprise and they blew the roof off the party. Everyone commented about how much they not only brought the party but made it! To top it off, the booking process is easy and every request discussed. They really do want to make whatever the event, your event. They are all kind, fun and really professional. We would recommend them to anyone, for anything! Thanks again guys, you’re the best!"

"Testimonials The 515 crew led by the talented Shama, brilliantly supported by the evergreen Chirag & great entertainer Nimesh were awesome on 5th May at City Pavilion. We had Shama & her crew for the Engagement party where we had the best trio in music industry - Shama, Chirag & Nimesh play some superb tracks. Whether it is a mehfil or dance settings the talented group always excel with superb sing-along melodies. We have seen Shama & her crew perform so many times & every time they raise the bar with brilliant performances. The amazing thing is that each show is unique & diverse with all songs suited to the audience. Shama’s great versatility in arranging shows & entertaining the audience all year round with her sought after group gives us all an opportunity to enjoy music at its best- no matter what the occasion. Keep it up Shama & 515 crew. Thank you for entertaining us all music lovers. Best wishes - Praful & Kalpna Lakhani, City Pavilion, May 2019 Lot of feedback we received and everyone enjoyed the music a lot on 2nd August at The Hive. So did the families and all close relatives and friends. Thanks a lot for great performance and superb time, to you and the band. - Pradip & Jayshree, The Hive, London, August 2018 Having met Shama and the 515 Crew at a couple of events I photographed over he last 2 years, it was without question that we would be using them whenever we had a family event. Last weekend, my brother and I threw our parents a surprise 65th birthday party and I was super excited to have secured a booking for this auspicious occasion with the 515 crew and they most certainly didn’t disappoint!!! They arrived promptly to setup and worked within the limited space we had at our venue without any complaints. I asked Shama if the group would be able to play a handful of my dads favourite songs from the 70’s and 80’s era including Santana, Wilson Picket and James Brown and although it was material that they hadn’t done before, they took time to rehearse in the week and surprised us with their amazing delivery on the main night. My dad and guests were over the moon! I’ve had nothing but positive comments from our guests on the 515 Crew’s super professional musical ability and singing. Their Indian songs took our guests back into time and found it refreshing to hear some of the old bollywood songs with a modern and current feel. I really cannot express how delighted myself, my parents and our guests are with the 515 Crew. I dealt with Shama from the initial phone call to check on the teams availability and she’s always been a pleasure to deal with including on the night itself. I most certainly will be using them when we have another event and will be recommending them to my clients too! I genuinly thank you from the bottom of my heart. - Kam Parmar (Kreative Klicks Photography), Unity Hall, Barton, July 2018 ​ We wanted to personally thank you for a wonderful evening on Saturday! Everyone enjoyed your songs and had a great time! Thank you also for getting Sanjay out of his shell and onto the dance floor! Best wishes - Dipika and Sanjay, Venue 260, Luton, April 2018 ' We write to say Thank You for the entertainment at our charity event. Professional, versatile and with an extremely diverse repetoire, the music was enjoyed by all. Your music embodies character, emotion and power. You started the event on a strong note and, critically, ended on an even stronger note. You were able to exceed our requirements with finesse. I will be booking you again in the near future and would not hesitate to recommend the band to anybody enquiring. It was impressive how professional, you, Chirag and all the band have been from start to finish. We thank you again and hope you enjoyed performing for us as much as we enjoyed dancing for you!' With all best wishes, - Ladva Family, Campion School, Hornchurch, November 2017 ​ We had an absolutely amazing time and all the credit goes to you and the crew for your fantastic performance. It was a pleasure to listen to all those golden oldies and even more enjoyable to dance to them. You all kept the dance floor rocking and engaged and made it all so personal too. After all these years you are still the best. Everyone still talking about the great time they had. Thank you so much! - Darshana Parekh, St. John's Hotel, Solihull, August 2017 Just wanted to thank you again for last night it was a phenomenal performance despite the technological issues with the hall, everyone had an amazing time and couldn't stop raving about you! Please pass on my thanks to the rest of your team. You all rock! - Krishna Radia, Ladywood Estate, August 2017 Thank you so much to you and 515 for providing such fantastic entertainment during my mendhi night on Fri 21 July at Sattavis Patidar in Wembley. Each and every guest was so complimentary of you. Everyone commented on how engaging the band was. They loved the part where you asked me to join you for a song (although I'm fairly sure it was you they enjoyed!). My family from Chicago and St Louis was so impressed, they literally could not stop praising you. Apparently the talent in the US is not the same! We made the right choice when we selected you and your band. You guys are worth every penny. I would recommend you without any hesitation whatsoever. Wish you all the best going forward. - Nisha Patel, Sattavis Patidar Wembley, July 2017 I just wanted to send you a quick email to say a very big "Thank You" for the performance at our Dinner & Music Night on 22nd October in Woking to celebrate my wedding to Nashita!! You and the band were brilliant, everyone had a great time and they all keep telling us that the night was so much fun. I personally also want to say that you guys were more entertaining than I could have imagined. The choice of song you picked out for our 'first dance' was excellent as it really is one of my favourite songs! :) Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the band. I hope that we can see you and the band perform again some time in the future. Once again, from myself, Mum and Nashita, thank you for making our night special. - Chandresh Pankhania, The Lord Roberts Centre, Woking, Oct 2016 ​ Just wanted to say an absolutely massive thank you to you, the band and the DJ for yesterday. You guys all nailed it! I want to just re-live the night again to hear you guys. You really were fantastic and every time we see you I'm sure you all just get better and better! Still can't believe how many people you got up dancing between starters and mains, no one wanted to eat! Haha. I've heard only good things already about you guys and especially how you catered for everyones different genres and generations! It was great, so truly a big thank you from the bottom of both of our hearts. - Sundeep & Shivani Kapur , Ditton Manor, Oct 2016 ​ Thank you so much to you and your 515 crew for the stellar performance yesterday ! You guys rocked the house down for the older and younger generation! I loved your style, versatility in music to meet the needs of the audience. Thank you so much! Everyone enjoyed the party and the positive comments are still streaming through! I hopefully will see you again at the Lohana party. Shama your personality is infectious! All- I highly recommend these musicians! Totally awesome! - Mayuri Gandesha"

"I just wanted to say thank you very much to After Dark for playing at our wedding party last Saturday. It was great to have some live music and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves - there was some very energetic dancing! So much for not having a first dance - we had to take to the floor first to encourage everyone! The song choices were perfect."

"The Royal Union are great such a talented band and their performance was stunning. The lead singer has a superb voice and really entertained our guests.They had so many people up on the dance floor right from the off all the way to the very end. We’d happily buy tickets to see them in concert and take all our mates along."
