"Kip and the band played at our wedding last weekend and they were brilliant! Everyone loved the ceilidh and they managed to get most people dancing. They were also very flexible and understanding when our plan for the day was very behind schedule. We'd highly recommend booking them. "

"Many thanks for playing at our party and especially for arriving so early to set up before they closed the roads for the carnival, (I hadn't planned for that!) Your friendly, engaging and professional manner made the arrangements easy. We all loved the music, and the great playlist, and you pitched just right, a small venue but people could still have a chat. Please pass my thanks to Bella, you both helped make for a very memorable and happy evening "

"Sounds with Us we’re absolutely phenomenal at our wedding! Everything was perfect, the lead up we had multiple chats and they got to know us, find out our music taste then the day was just brilliant. Lilac did a solo set which was wonderful and the band kept the dance floor going followed with Remko keeping the floor fillers with his awesome DJ skills. Would recommend them to anyone for any occasion! Thank you guys ?"

"RJ performed at our wedding at the beginning of August during the ceremony and at the reception drinks. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and was so quick to reply to our emails before the day itself. He gave us some useful advice and learnt one of our song requests for the ceremony. He turned up early on the day to get set up and was professional and friendly. We could not have been happier with his performance, he is a great singer and kept all our guests entertained. Everybody loved him. We highly recommend him!"

"Luc was perfect for our wedding. He is an incredibly talented harpist with such a wide repertoire. Our guests commented on how lovely his music was, and he created the perfect relaxed atmosphere for the wedding - playing through the ceremony, drinks reception and into the wedding breakfast. He blended classical pieces with renditions of popular songs (the Ed Sheeran went down particularly well!), folk pieces and even Disney into an elegant set that was a pleasure to listen to. Our guests gave him a big round of applause after his final piece and lots were keen to know where we found him! He was very open to our suggestions and requests and we really enjoyed visiting him before the wedding to have a listen and plan some pieces for the ceremony. We highly recommend Luc for your wedding or event! "

"The Tommy Aces recently performed at our national launch event at the Southbank Centre and they were outstanding. They were talented, fun and a major talking point for the evening"

"An entertaining and infectiously ‘feel-good’ evening’s singing and good humour. These Bouys have an astonishing repertoire of shanties at their tongue tips and deliver them with an approachable enthusiasm that makes audience participation feel comfortable. They understand the needs of the venue hosts (in this case a microbrewery) and promote these as part of their set. Extremely good value."

Thanks, Jane Bellinger, so glad you enjoyed the set. The Buoys thorough it enjoyed themselves too. It was their third gig at the Cracklerock, Botley. The Solent Shanty Buoys

"Davie, I just wanted to contact you to say, ‘thank you VERY much, indeed’ to you and your band members for performing last Friday evening at the annual Grange Dyvours Tennis Club ‘Snow Ball’ and making it the tremendous success that it was. I have been to many weddings, ceilidhs and parties over the years and danced to many bands and I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that ‘The Big Shoogle’ stands head and shoulders above the rest. Who would have thought that weaving in Pink Floyd and Deep Purple tracks in the middle of a Dashing White Sergeant would have worked but it did! You were an absolute pleasure to deal with, before our event; you all drove a considerable distance to arrive, at exactly the time requested, to set up all your equipment then, after our dinner, you returned to put on the most amazing performance. Some of our (non-Scottish) members had never danced some of the dances before but you made sure to talk everyone through what was expected, as a warm up, before the mayhem began. My face was sore laughing, at the end of some of those dances. Just brilliant. Our ‘Snow Ball’ on Friday evening was an astounding success and we have you to thank for that. Absolutely first class. P.s. Also, thanks for taking our booking for our ball, next Christmas. I wanted to get in quick to secure you as I know how much in demand you are! "
