"Absolutely incredible, Starlet Beat made the best day of our lives even better! Since our wedding a month ago we have continued to receive comments from guests about how brilliant the band were. Everyone was dancing for the whole night! Karen was great at communicating before the event, taking onboard all our suggestions and including them in either the band's set or DJ sets in-between. She offered to perform our first dance song and the band learnt and played it brilliantly. We were an hour late getting to the dancing from some overrunning speeches but the band were not only remarkably good natured about this they were also really accommodating, fitting the full sets in a shorter time so we still got the full amount, even though we expected to be cut short as it was us running late. We cannot thank you enough! The music was so well arranged and performed with brilliant back-to-back medleys and something for everyone; we didn't leave the dance floor while they were on! So glad we had the full 8-piece lineup too because it was so good. I can't gush enough about how brilliant they were and the wedding card we found when we got back from honeymoon was also such a sweet touch. Book them! You won't regret it. We are already trying to work out whether we can afford an anniversary party as an excuse to have them back...Thank you, thank you, thank you! xxx"

"Fire & Rain played at my 60th birthday party on board the Edwardian river steamer the Windsor Belle on the River Thames. They were brilliant. They played a selection of mellow and more upbeat songs across the decades. The music was not intrusive but more than just background which is what we wanted. They were very easy to deal with both in the pre-event organisation and on the day. I would certainly recommend them to play at your event."

"Golden Gospel were amazing from start to finish. We could not have asked for a better ceremony and we have Golden Gospel to thank for it. Not only were their voices incredible but their energy was contagious - they had everyone up on their feet! Could not recommend them enough!"

"Thanks so much for yesterday…the client was delighted with your performance and it was such a pleasure to work with such a professional band. Not only do you sound amazing and your performance was outstanding but you are all such lovely people to boot! I would like to say a special thanks to the sound engineer for being so accommodating with all our sound needs and requests. It really does make a difference having a dedicated technician on the event to ensure it runs smoothly. We hope to get loads of future bookings for you"

"Sorry for the delay in writing, but i would like to say a massive THANK YOU for recommending 'Party Sounds' and arranging for them to play at our Silver Wedding Celebrations. They were everything I had hoped they would be, and more. I was impressed that Mark took the time and trouble to keep in touch with me by telephone rather than by email (which can get a bit messy) and to discuss our likes and dislikes about the music for the evening. They arrived on time at the golf club and we just left the rest to them. It was lovely to be able to put trust in their professionalism and knowledge of their clients preferences to play all evening. We had kept it a closely guarded secret from our guests that we were having a band, and they were really impressed and pleased with what they saw and heard. My one regret is that I was mixing and talking with our guests so much that I didn't really get to fully appreciate the band as I would if I were a guest at someone else's party! I am trying to talk my friends into doing the same, so that I can listen to them again. However, whenever I did draw breath, the sound was exactly like they were playing a CD version of the song - I had to keep checking that it was actually Mark and his colleagues who were really singing - and, oh boy , it most definitely was!! So thank you once again, and please feel free to use my words as recommendation to others. 'Party Sounds' would definitely be my first choice of music for any events in the future. I don't even think I would consider hiring a DJ ever again :)"

"Anna’s voice is magical. She reduced the whole congregation to tears- men and woman alike. We first heard Anna and her fabulous keyboard perform at a wedding we were photographing at and knew they would be perfect to play and sing at our sons wedding. Anna kept in touch via email during the months leading up to Laurence and Kim’s wedding, and she was punctual, professional and unassuming on the day. Anna’s performance was a surprise for the bride and congregation and was a highlight of the day. She sang from this moment on and as I said not a dry eye in the house. Many of our guests commented how wonderful she was. We wish them all the success and hope to hear her sing again soon. Best wishes Kate and Greg."

"To anyone who wants their party to go with a bang! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Funk N’ Soul excelled themselves at my birthday party last Saturday – they really made the evening for me. What was really brilliant about this band was that they had learned some of my old favourite songs specially for the evening and they brought the house down! They are all full time professional and very accomplished singers and musicians and really lovely, friendly folk too! It would seem that nothing is too much for them – they even played along with my youngest daughter who played Happy Birthday on her trumpet for me! They also looked like they were all having fun performing and the vibe in the marquee was so upbeat that no-one cared about the torrential rain outside! I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have a fantastic time! Thanks again guys for making my day! Love Sally"
