"Not only is Natalia the most talented accordionist I've ever met, she is a remarkable human being and it was an honour to have her play at our wedding. She personalised the day for us, not only playing her complex and beautiful repertoire featuring the likes of our favourite accordionist, Yann Tiersen, but she also played (upon request for our rather strange ceremony) a few 'lesser-known' accordion 'classics': 'Home on the Range' and 'Jerusalem.' I will never forget hearing her begin to play 'La Valse d'Amelie' as I began my wedding procession into the meadow where I would marry my husband. She has a perfect presence when she plays, our guests loved her, and she truly made that day special for us. She was also very happy to have a drink with me in advance to chat about the wedding and get to know me. When we met I realised she is an absolutely lovely, glowing spirit who is always thinking of others. I'm so glad we flew her all the way to France for our big day! She was so worth it and we'll never forget her."

"Thank you very much for coming along to Hydon Hobble 2019 and performing at our post-run party! Everyone loved the music. The total raised from the day was over £2,400 which is simply incredible. All the funds raised go towards the Hydon Hill service, particularly to a proposed Woodland Walk and garden with raised beds for the residents."

"Thank you so so much for performing at our wedding, it made the reception so special and many of our guests commented on how excellent your performance was. We were very pleased with Rory performing at our wedding. He was professional and easy to communicate with from the start, providing us with an incredible repertoire list for us to pick some of our favourite songs. Rory played these to a high standard on his saxophone with backing music, for the pleasure of our guests at the reception. This really added something extra special to our wedding reception, and many of our guests commented on his excellent performance. We would highly recommend Rory to anyone looking to hire a musician for weddings or similar events. We very much hope that we can use your services again in the future."

"The Shamrock experience were truly brilliant. A really fun, friendly and energetic band who came to play for my family and friends at my 21st. Their playing was fantastic, running a ceilidh which was really enjoyed by everyone. It was the perfect band for the occasion and I highly recommend them."

"Superb music selection and classy act - These guys rocked our wedding and had all of the guests on the dance floor ‘till midnight. Every song was a banger. We had a ton of compliments about the choice of band from the guests, one of whom had Primed play at their wedding 14 years ago! Well done and thank you."

"The South west swing collective played on our Wedding day and they were absolutely fantastic! They picked great music, perfectly mirroring what we’d asked for, and intuitively picked up on the vibe they got off of our guests. Everybody loved them and it gave the night a real energy. They engaged the crowd and helped create a party we will never forget! We would highly recommend them to anyone who wants live entertainment for any event. An overwhelmingly positive experience from start to finish."

"We just wanted to say a massive thank you for helping make our day so memorable. Everyone really enjoyed the band, and despite the very hot weather, people were dancing away. No one wanted them to leave at the end! We loved our first dance, and had such a great time. It was such a special day and we are so pleased that we chose you as our band. Thanks again for making it such a fun night! Hopefully see you again, Huge Thanks, Sivi and Pete."

"Henry & the guys were incredible at our wedding this month. They were exactly what we were after when looking for a wedding band; proper musicians without that clichè 'wedding band' feel. The dance floor was full all night & our guests loved them! A tipsy rendition of 'you've lost that loving feeling' was sang at the end of the night, but the band joined in & that's a memory of our wedding I will forever remember! Thanks again! "

"After having seen GloBand at a couple of other events, I decided to book them for my 40th Birthday Party and they were just great! The set they played was fantastic and very much tailored to my personal taste. We absolutely loved the athmosphere the band created and they had everyone in the dance floor for the whole evening. They are a great addition to any event, very professional and sound great. Would definitely highly recommend and will most certainly book them again for any future events I might organise. Thank you very much for helping to make my party such a success GloBand! "
