"We hired Open Freeway for our Wedding Party and from the first phone call with Jake we knew we were in safe hands. The guys were very professional throughout while still carrying the vibe we were expecting based on their profile. Communication all the way through was excellent, working around our schedule, and going into detail on our music tastes and what we would like from the night. In the evening the band were prompt, setting up efficiently and letting myself and my wife be stress-free!. Performance was brilliant, high energy and thoroughly enjoyed by all our guests! Thanks again for making our night so great."

"We are a Special Needs Transport Company who supplies services for anyone who have mobility issues. We booked Ruby to perform at our Employee of the Year Awards 2018. In the ordinance were some of our Ring and Ride passengers and also children from one of the special schools we assist with transport. Ruby was amazing not only with her singing talents but also her talent of getting everyone to join in, including the children. We would not hesitate to book Ruby again."

"Debbie and Fernando performed as an acoustic duo at our 2018 Winter Wonderland festival in Perth. Not only did they look great on the outdoor stage, their passion for their music shone during their performances. Enjoyed by all. I recommend these lovely talented pair.

"Emma recently sang at our church service singing a mixture of hymns and contemporary songs. We couldn't have been happier and all our guests commented on how good her voice was, really adding something special to the service. Emma was great to work with and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her"

"We hired Barn With Us for our wedding and they were incredible! We wanted Country music but with a bit of energy and excitement and Sound With Us delivered it perfectly. Very professional band who can read the room well and get everyone up dancing and change the dynamics at the right times. Not only do these guys show up and play like the truly talented musicians that they are, but they are also very easy to chat to and made all of the pre-arrangements easy, they even face-timed us a couple of days before the wedding to go over some details and check we were happy with what we had planned. It was a pleasure to have them with us on our big day and if you are considering hiring this band then do it...book them...you won't be disappointed! :)"

"We were so impressed with your band at our wedding on 13th June. You created the perfect atmosphere for us all and sounded awesome! We have had so many compliments on the band, your talent and your professionalism from our guests. If the opportunity arises we will definitely seriously consider booking Disco Infernos again "

"Hi Davie and the band, Now that the wedding is over and we are back from our honeymoon?, I just wanted to send you a massive thank you for the awesome night of dancing we had last weekend at our wedding at Lands of Loyal Hotel in Alyth. You have got to be the best ceilidh band I have ever heard!! The rocky and fast paced sets were just unreal to dance to and all our Irish guests loved learning how to ceilidh dance. Such an amazing night and we really cannot thank you enough! I have dropped Chloe at Freak music a wee email to say how fantastic you were and asked if she can put the review up on their website. Thanks again guys, keep shoogling!!! "

"Royal String Ensemble played at our wedding ceremony at Gaynes Park, in Epping Forest on the 3rd of January 2017. The group were absolutely fantastic, many of my guests came up to me in the reception to comment and how good they were. The band were highly professional and very attentive to my ideas, they were happy to mix their conventional classical music pieces with some modern pop songs I had selected. The band met with me prior to my wedding day for an initial consultation to discuss what I'd like on the day, the format, theme of the wedding etc., they then provided me with some ideas of music that they had played at other weddings and were always extremely responsive to my emails. In particular the band really stood out and went the extra mile by kindly agreeing accompany my brother and sister (both amateur guitar and drum players) in playing a song at our wedding. This involved them re-writing the sheet music in the correct key, meeting with my brother and sister one evening to rehearse the song, and then arriving at the ceremony earlier than usual to rehearse with my brother/sister before the start of the ceremony. They are a fantastic group and I am sure they will have a hugely successful future ahead of them, they certainly made my wedding ceremony very special and unique, as one of my guests said when describing their music "they are certainly one to remember.""

"Oh what a night! Thank you both so much for making my party! You girls were fantastic and all of my thank you messages include you girls. You were incredible and I could not have wished for a better night. I hope that I can recommend you. I want to have another party so I can have you sing! Really it was very special and I only hope you had as much fun as we did. One or two casualties at the end of the night (just tipsy friends) but all in all a fabulous and memorable evening. Thank you for being a huge part of it!"

"I was so excited when I found Absolute band's website and saw their repertoire and videos of them playing, it was exactly the vibe we were looking for. We booked them originally for June 2020, then moved to April 2021, then again moved to July 2021! Geoff was so kind and understanding and flexible throughout, navigating wedding season in a pandemic and making sure that we could have the numbers of guests we wanted there. They played on 3rd July 2021 and the dancefloor was absolutely banging! Because of covid we had to have an outside dancefloor - they were so flexible and played at the edge of the marquee facing out, whilst we all danced on a patio under a gazebo. It was truly magic. Our guests are a huge mix of ages and the dancefloor was rammed the entire time they were playing. We were running late and they were so flexible by doing an extra long set for us before the music had to turn off. They played all our favourite songs, and played a couple of requests that weren't on their repertoire. I cannot recommend them enough, they are really well priced for the standard of their performance, and I would book them again in an instant! Lizzie and Joshua, Wedding at Ridge Farm in Surrey – 3rd July 2021 "

"Our music evening at Novotel Manchester Centre was elevated by the Rory Duffy Trio. Their talent and skill made for an entirely lovely evening for all of our guests, many of whom commented on how much they enjoyed the performance. I would highly recommend this group again as they were not only talented and played wonderful music but also displayed a high level of professionalism throughout the evening.” - Novotel, Manchester, June 2011"
