Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"Having seen Maria perform a stunning set at our annual Jingle Ball, I recently hired this acoustic duo 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!! "

"We are all cleared down and tidied away after the big success that was yesterday. I wanted to drop you a line to say a massive thank you for all you did. Not just the brilliant music but also the time and effort you put in before the festival and running the stage. A huge thank you to all of the Mystery Machine."

"Here is a belated thank you for your awesome performance at our wedding on the 27th of July at Orchardleigh. You really capped off a magnificent day off for us; you really had the whole room rocking from start to finish, which was just what we wanted. We had so many comments on how good you guys were on the night and have had many chats with various guests since the wedding recollecting on how excellent the band was. We are so glad we chose you to play at the wedding and should we have any other friends with weddings/functions we won’t hesitate in recommending you. Thank you once again you were truly marvelous."

"Kirsty was fantastic, we have a great chat in the lead up to discuss all the wishes and wants from our music choices and she absolutely smashed it! She went over and beyond always getting our guests dancing and never letting it die down, and even pre-warned us when we are close to the end so we could really get into those last few songs. Could not recommend her more highly, she made our evening absolutely perfect. "

"We booked Velvet Metal for our wedding reception and they absolutely blew us away. From the very first track, the whole vibe shifted—suddenly it wasn’t just a wedding, it felt like a proper metal show (in the best way imaginable). Their stage presence was electric, every song hit perfectly, and the energy never dipped once all night. Even our guests who had never listened to metal before were fist-pumping and dancing by the end. If you want something bold, powerful, and unforgettable, Crushed are the band to book."

"Squarewaves were absolutely excellent; so many of our guests commented on the quality and variety of their performance and we really loved their set list. They were polite, punctual, funny and entertaining and were able to fill the dance floor; gauging the mood of the crowd really well. The vocals were perfect and we were amazed at how pitch-perfect and well rehearsed every song sounded. The garage mash-up was hilarious and unexpected and we will never forget the sight of seeing our relatives raving to their take on 'Insomnia.' An excellent, contemporary band offering a set list that matches absolute classics with up-to-date releases."

"These guys were excellent. They travelled quite some distance to play at my husband's birthday party and were extremely well received by all of our guests. I would recommend them highly to anyone considering a steel band."

"I am happy to confirm that you and your colleagues on the sax, bass and piano indubitably added greatly to the atmosphere of the evening. Lots of the guests commented very enthusiastically on how much they had enjoyed the music. My feeling is that you added warmth, sparkle, and a sense of celebration to the evening, and the range and style of play was perfect to modulate between grabbing people’s attention and providing harmonious background, as appropriate for the stage in the proceedings. I was also appreciative of how flexible you were about the times of taking a break so that there was always music except during the brief interlude for speeches. I was delighted to have found you through [Last Minute Musicians] and would definitely recommend not only you and your colleagues but [Last Minute Musicians] too."

Hi Gillian, Thank you so much for your e-mail, and lovely, kind words of feedback for Rory @ Burgh House, London (Hampstead) on 09/07/2023 It means so much to us that you and your guests both enjoyed the music and were happy with arrangements for the event. I will definitely pass on your kind feedback to the musicians and Ben at [agency] who, I am sure, will be delighted. Ben mentioned Robin Weil’s dad, Stephen, was at the event, so it was wonderful to hear that as well. I sincerely appreciate you getting in touch, and I would like to once again thank you for the opportunity of having us perform in July. I send you my warmest wishes to you and your colleagues and friends, for the year ahead. Gratefully, 🎷 Rory
