"Simon was fantastic, his play list was brilliant. He had everybody up on their feet dancing. Made the party really special. Heather had a great voice and was a great asset. Everyone really enjoyed the music. The choice was great and I would thoroughly recommend Simon if you want your party to go with a bang. He was really professional, enthusiastic and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks so much Simon !!!! Jo"

"We hired The Blue Suede Shoes for our wedding reception in May. We had already married abroad but wanted to have a larger gathering back in the UK where we could invite everyone. On the day we had about 150 people, from new-born's to a couple of ladies who were 90+. So the entertainment was quite important to get right. We didn't know what we were looking for at first, we knew we wanted live music, but we had to cater for all tastes and ages. The Blue Suede Shoes were the first band that both my (new) wife and I agreed on instantly. Thankfully they were available, even though they are Surrey based they were willing to travel deep into Kent. They have a generous play list to choose from, and even have a 'handbook' on their website with a few hints and tips about booking live music (not just restricted to weddings etc...). Importantly, they were willing to learn a couple of other tracks for us - one was our first dance and another was a Robbie Williams track which is one of my wife's favourites. From the start of the booking process Ben was very informative, clear and helpful at every stage. He was easily contacted and able to offer advice where needed. On the day of the reception the band turned up early and started to set-up without any fuss. We had a family friend DJ-ing in the same area in the evening and by the time I'd come over to greet them they'd already sorted everything out themselves. Our reception was in a marquee outside and the weather alternated between strong sunshine and torrential rain. Even though the band had a set-list, they seemed to be able to play appropriate songs for the moment. Playing 'Ain't no sunshine when she's gone' in the middle of torrential rain made everyone laugh and kept peoples spirits up. The band were also happy to ad-lib a bit for the bridal entrance which was very much appreciated. They were great musicians, willing to interact with the guests and very friendly indeed. We would recommend them without question, not just for a wedding but for any party or gathering that needed live music. They were loud enough to be heard, but not so loud that you had to shout over them. The music was perfect to sit and listen to, but energetic enough for many people to get up and dance or it and tap their feet to. Thanks for helping to make or reception so memorable. Matt & Kim"

"The AfterParty were an absolute hit at our 40th party. So many people have commented on how much they enjoyed the music and energy of the performance.  Louise and the team were fantastic in the lead up to the event, supporting us in picking songs and making the entire set up completely stress-free (no mean feat when organising a 40th party in a pedestrian access only venue!)  The whole band were incredibly polite and professional, and Louise even went above and beyond to carry out some MC duties.  Cannot recommend highly enough. Outstanding.  "

"I'm just writing to say thank you so much to the band for rocking our wedding last Saturday. You and the band were just brilliant - they sounded amazing, looked great, had such charisma and stage presence, and we just loved their music so much.Global Grooves had everyone on their feet and joining in and everyone raved about the music. I'm so glad we booked the band for a mellow reggae afternoon set as well which was just gorgeous on a lovely sunny afternoon. Thanks too for letting various family members sing with the band - an experience they (and we!) won't forget. You’ve all been completely reliable, professional and fantastic in every way. I would thoroughly recommend Global Grooves for any occasion! "

"As with another reviewer, I know a band member as he is our fishmonger too. I wasn't sure what to expect but they were great! They played lots of covers, with different members singing lead. They filled our pavilion with a big sound. I enjoyed their set and they were appreciated by all who attended."

"If you are thinking of hiring these guys, don't hesitate!!! They will MAKE your night. I can't recommend them enough. Lovely lads. Fantastic sets. Keep an eye on these lads, they are going far, had so much more to offer than other bands we looked at. So glad we booked them. They had EVERYONE up dancing the whole night - the days after our wedding everyone was talking about the band and nothing else! Can't wait to have them back. Thanks so much!" Kate & Thomas in Berkshire, 2012"

"My wife saw 'RockEnergy' in Chingford, and was so impressed that she booked them for my birthday at a venue in South Woodford. I knew nothing about it till I got there. My word they blew the roof off, what a band! I had a fantastic night. Thank you so much'RockEnergy' for making the evening such a success! Highly recommend!."

"Had Whisky & Ginger for our wedding band and they took care of music for the whole day, from ceremony right up to the end of the night and it was perfect. Such great song choices from beginning to end, and they pitched the mood exactly how I dreamed it. Thank you so much and hope to see you live again soon!"

"Party Gangsters were the perfect band for my son’s wedding. His new wife’s parents had come all the way from China – and they couldn’t believe how good the band sounded. They even got us off on the right foot with the in-laws."
