"Stargazers were sensational from start to finish. Fun, magical and oh so talented! They listened to our requests and clearly are professional and dedicated artists. Everyone had so much fun dancing! We had guests come up to us and say it was the best band they ever witnessed perform at a wedding! Dreamers, thank you for being so wonderful! We had a blast and could not recommend you guys more! All the best!"

"Having seen Maria perform a stunning set at our annual Jingle Ball, I recently hired Maria for a Key 103 listener party and the feedback from all guests was excellent. The selection of songs was spot on and the dance floor was packed, I wish I'd have asked for an extra 1/2 hour!! "

"The setting for our August 2018 wedding was the beautiful Arnos Vale’s Woodland Undercroft. There was a “Gothic Lite” theme to this largely (we had a marquee!) outdoor event which we wanted to be as informal as possible. It was important to us that everybody who was attending or contributing to the event felt that they were able to participate in the occasion as guests. For this reason we wanted musicians who we felt would “fit in” the with guests as well as playing the type of music that we wanted . Having trawled through various websites we discovered the “Hot Hats” and, having played their version of “Friday I’m In Love”, knew that we didn’t need to look any further. The sound was great and the image of the band was just what we wanted. Having then seen the band play a couple of times, it was clear that the personalities and sound was just what we wanted. As there was no particular running order for our afternoon reception, our brief to the band was, basically, “play when you think you need to” and this worked a treat. In addition we were played down the aisle to the band playing “I’m A Believer” which was a really special moment for us. There was good communication at the point of booking which was a painless process and continued contact with Alfie and his agent made arranging the event so much easier. We loved the band and the guests loved them as well. We would therefore have no hesitation in recommending the “Hot Hats” for your event. Martin & Nikki P.S. If there was a downside to our afternoon it was that Alfie (despite his best efforts) was unable to teach the bride to properly strum a guitar but, in the overall scheme of things, we’ll let that pass!"

"I honestly don’t think it would’ve been so much fun without you. My mother-in-law said it was one of the best nights she’d ever had!"

"W!red were faultless!! With so many different musical preferences under one roof, their repertoire covered everything from classic rock and pop. They had guests up on their feet dancing throughout the night, starting off with a few before the floor was full with a dancing circle, with Sue the singer joining in. 3 45 minute sets and Sue voice showed no sign of tiring out. Everyone I have spoken to on the day thought the band were tight and on point! Sue's voice is pitch perfect. The professionalism of the band cannot be faulted. We were provided with a range of songs included in their sets and were able to pick and choose from a fantastic selection through the decades! We were even able to send on some personal requests for specific wedding dances and a couple of personal requests from family members ('sweet Caroline'). Their rendition of Fleetwood Mac's 'Landslide' had my blubbering like a baby during my father and bride dance! 10/10 would recommend this band for any function or event! Thank you guys!! You were truly amazing and deserve every success!! "

"Lucinda was absolutely incredible. I hired her to sing for my proposal and she exceeded all expectations. She performed the songs of my choice beautifully and was more than happy to coordinate with the photographer I had hired, which made everything run smoothly. When we unexpectedly had to relocate at the last minute, Lucinda helped make the transition seamless. She sang wonderfully and made the moment truly unforgettable. I definitely recommend her. "

"Hi Fiddlestix, Just wanted to thank you and your band very much for a most successful Macmillan Cancer Support Barn Dance event last night. Your band and your caller Geoff kept everyone fully involved all night long and it was a very enjoyable evening in the knowledge that essential money was raised to help people and their families affected by cancer. £1300 was raised last night after all expenses and we feel that was a decent amount. Please pass on our thanks to the band. Best wishes,Gilly, Chairperson, Macmillan Cancer Support"

"We would like to thank Aisha and the band for an amazing day. The band started with a laid-back reggae set during our drinks reception this was just a taster for an amazing night ahead. The band played two amazing sets and our guests on the stage with them singing along. The music had a great range from early sixties up to the present day and the dance floor was always buzzing with people dancing. We would highly recommend the band to anyone wishing to have a good party or to make their wedding a very special event. "

"We had the StereoBeats as our wedding band on 23rd June at Celtic Park and they were absolutely brilliant. I had seen them at my son’s wedding the year before and jumped at the chance of hiring them for ours. The dance floor was full the whole night and everyone is still talking about how good they were. Thank you all so much for making the night just amazing, Scott & Karen xxx"

"We really enjoyed the show at Tunbridge Wells. My friend, who is a huge Dolly fan (she saw her at O2) said when she closed her eyes it could have been Dolly singing and she thought you were so much better than a previous Dolly tribute act she had seen. We bought your own album and it's great, you've written some really good songs. Hope to see you again someday."
