"My residents loved these guys so much. Music was great, singing absolutely fantastic. Really played to the crowd and got them singing along. So friendly afterwards too, having a chat with the residents. I've received so much great feedback about them. Can't wait to get them back again! "

"Thank you so so much to Embassy Band for performing at our wedding last week!!!!!! Planning a wedding during a pandemic is stressful enough, and choosing a band when you are unable to see them live is a huge gamble but this one paid off!! They are exactly like their promo video and all the interactions with the bands management and lead on the day were helpful and friendly!! The band performed our first song so wonderfully and the option of having a female and male vocals and the different genres of music was what really made them stand out from other bands!!! They knew how to bring the party, getting the dance moves going and we loved it when the vocalist come out and danced with us on the dance floor while performing! They were truly amazing and we received so many compliments from our guests!!! We would recommend Embassy 10000%!!!! You won’t regret it!! Thank you so much to all the band members who performed. x "

"We recently booked "The Man in The Blue Shades" (Marty), Saxophone player for our engagement party. He was absolutely outstanding and really got the party going. He accomodated us with the perfect playlist which was Ibiza house and pop which was exactly the vibe we went for and managed all requests with out any hesitation. Booking was straightforward, and communication was very easy he kept intouch to the run up of the party which was very reassuring . I would highly recommend Marty if you are looking for an experienced saxophone player. Thanks again "

"De Fuego played at our wedding during the summer and were definitely a star event which all the guests enjoyed. The dance floor was well populated during their excellent performance, which really made the occasion memorable. Thank you De Fuego Richard and Anna"

"We recently booked Peach Beach for our wedding party and we could not have been happier. We already knew we loved their sound (and particularly Kirsty's voice) from their promo videos but what we didn't know is how good the band would be a getting everyone on the dance floor. Whilst their songs were not my normal 'favourites' they were far better choices to get everyone involved. Everybody from my 5 year old niece to my 75 year old mother-in-law were up dancing and all our guests couldn't stop saying how great the music was. As normal, we ran a bit behind on the day but Kirsty and the guys were super relaxed in pushing back the set times for us. Thanks so much guys for making our party one to remember and helping us dance the night away. We'll definitely keep Peach Beach in mind for our future family parties!"

"I just wanted to write to say how much we enjoyed Francesca's performance over the weekend. The trio were excellent. Everyone loved them. We had an Italian themed night and the jazz music went down perfectly. Francesca was incredibly friendly and easy going, played the songs requested, and turned up on time - such a hit - a party to go down in history."

"Couldn’t recommend The Pedal Tones enough! Our guests demanded encore after encore because of how good they were! They did an amazing job of learning and performing our first dance and had the guests dancing all night. Brilliant to work with and would highly recommend!"

"I have know Mark personally for many years and have only ever known him to put 100% in to every aspect of his music career so when my wife and I started to plan our big day, I knew that his passion and skill would bring something really special and unique to the day.We had The Swing Gents trio perform at our wedding and the guys were fantastic! Really set the mood for the afternoon whilst we were having the photos taken. The set list that Mark put together was perfect and really encompassed the feel of the day.Would highly recommend Mark and The Swing Gents for any event."

"I booked Kellys Heroes to play at my 60th birthday party. You were amazing and everyone loved you. Everybody there was talking about how good you were, and they are still talking about it, even now. You were the main feature of the party which people remember! Of course, your excellent local reputation preceded you and that took some living up to - you did so admirably. I was worried that, with such a diverse group of guests, there would be awkward silences but Tony did a sterling job at getting people up on the dance floor and, once they started, they couldn’t stop. Quite a few of my friends commented that they forgot we were all hitting 60 and were dancing like young ‘uns. It says much for your music, though, that the real young ‘uns also joined in and it was a treat to see that younger Irish generation (because about 2/3 of the party were Irish) showing off their traditional dance skills to your music. Your song and tune selection was really excellent. Just the right balance, and lovely to have some songs which were favourites (Billy was completely made up with Carrickfergus) and others which were original compositions. Of course, the standard was – well – absolutely professional. It must be great to have such universal appeal. I can honestly say that your music hit the mark with both young and old; English and Irish – and even the small Greek contingent got up and learned a few dance moves! Your CD is being well-played on Corfu and in Athens now! I noticed a good few of the staff from the bar downstairs snuck in for a sneaky look too. You really made the evening for me and do, please, feel free to use this if you need a testimonial. Looking forward to seeing you soon at one of your gigs. With my very best wishes and thanks again. Linda"

"A general consensus put your slot at the top of the list for the w/e, closely followed, I must add, by the hog! Thank you so much for making us all smile – everyone loved the music and commented on the brilliant “calling” – a bright lady! I have given your name to several folk, but I wasn’t able to tell them how far you travel for a gig, as many of our friends live in the Bristol area. Thanks again for helping to make our 60th birthday party so memorable."

"We really wanted a folk style band with a saxophone player which believe it or not seems to be harder to find than you would think and then we found you guys and we are so thankful that we chose you! Your performance from start to finish and you were all so lovely to have at our wedding. Huge thanks to Billy for also singing our first dance – it’s a moment we will cherish"

"What an amazing day my father had for his birthday. Antony was outstanding. A fabulous talent. Everyone was dancing and singing along. Wished we had booked him for longer. Dad wanted him back for another party. Antony made my dad's party to be a great success. Thoroughly professional and a true gentleman."
