"Had the wonderful Elouise Gatsby sing at Joy’s birthday and our anniversary. What an amazing singer. I personally love old school classics and she blew me and all our guests away. Amazing highly recommended. "

"I want to start by saying we were all impressed by Jamie’s professionalism and accommodating nature when he played our event! His voice was fantastic and he had a wide variety of material. He then followed this with a crowd-pleasing DJ set! Great night had by all"

"The Fireflies played at our wedding and we loved every moment of it. They are so accommodating, friendly and amazing at what they do. Our day was so special already but having them there to play in the evening topped it off. Ian and the band got everyone involved; he was dancing with us; getting to know everyone’s names which was so lovely and personal. Everyone that came to our wedding, hasn’t stopped talking about The Fireflies! And it was worth every penny. The communication between them and us near the wedding, made us feel less anxious and more excited. They’re so easy to talk to and liaise with. Thank you so much again!"

"Funk With Us played at our wedding this weekend and they were absolutely FANTASTIC! High energy, super helpful and just a pleasure to work with, we cannot recommend them highly enough! Lilac and Remko both spoke with us in advance to get to know us a little better and find out more about the type of music we were interested in. Lilac gave us a call in the lead up, was available via whatsapp and was just generally super helpful. On the night of our wedding the dance floor was always filled with everyone singing and dancing along and having a really great time! So, so, so pleased we booked Funk With Us, thanks for making our wedding evening so awesome! Thanks Lilac, Remko and the rest of the band!"

"Their ability, at short notice, to turn up and turn in a stonking evening of fine music, laced with wit, anecdotes and reminiscences. Recommended to anyone who enjoys fine-trad music played with enthusiasm and enjoyment. "

"We saw the pocket rockers the Saturday before Christmas - great band! The songs were a great mix and all fantastic and got everyone up singing and dancing, from toddlers to ninety year olds! They even sang a few Christmas songs to get everyone in the holiday spirit! Would definitely recommend booking them for parties and weddings!! Plus their version of Johnny B Goode is awesome!!"

" Joel was absolutely amazing on my wedding day he created such a wonderful, magical atmosphere. So many of my guests including the registrar said how stunning his performances were. I really wanted some form of live music at my wedding and so glad I booked Joel."

"Phil sang at my daughter's 30th birthday party. Amazing as a soloist and DOUBLE AMAZING as a duo. If you are looking for singers for an occasion, look no further. Lovely people as well."

"ABBA Party Duo were amazing from start to finish, they were so helpful in guiding us on what our evening should look like. When they arrived they were friendly, professional setting up the room with disco lights and ensuring the sound levels were correct. The act itself was outstanding, people were up dancing from the start. Their performance of ABBA songs were amazing they encouraged the audience to sing and dance all night. We had two 45 minute sets and then a disco afterwards. If you what an evening to remember then ABBA Party Duo will deliver. Performance was 25th Oct 2025"

"Just wanted to pass on my thanks to you and Chateaux Swing for their performance yesterday. It was just exactly the best of what I was hoping for when I booked you, they were absolutely brilliant, perfect for the event, and my dad (who’s not been well) loved it. I couldn’t work out how you were going to do a bossa nova with the instruments you had, but I hadn’t factored in the multi talents of your bassist! And I shall never again listen to J’attendrai without thinking of English cats…. I can’t give you anything but love was a particular highlight for me (though actually also come to think of it, Putting on the Ritz and Honeysuckle Rose), but people loved Football’s coming home too; and Sweet Sue went down really well with my mum. It just couldn’t have been better in any way, we were so delighted and they really made the whole day, thank you so much,"

"I wasn't going to have a band for my birthday party but after seeing JP&tP play at a local event months before I changed my mind. In the lead up to the event they were fantastic and very flexible around set times, volume (it was a garden party in a residential street) and the booking was so easy and demand free. They even practiced a personal request for me. They made my party into the awesomeness it was! Everyone was dancing, the play list was fantastic, including "Blame it on me" and all my guests commented on what a fab band they were and a great night they'd had. There was even a lot of Jolly Polly jacket envy going on!! My only disappointment was they confessed to not actually being real pirates but did agree to keep that between us. Thank you Jolly Polly and the Pirates you were fantastic!!!!!"
