"These guys are insaneeeee 🪩🕺We booked Groove Allstars to play at our wedding in July 2025 and the experience from start to finish was brilliant. Geoff, the band’s manager, was super helpful throughout the booking process & helped chat us through everything. And then the band themselves were incredible! The 8 piece show band sounded brilliant live (even better than the videos we had seen!) and kept the dancefloor absolutely packed the whole night with a mix of Disco & Motown tunes! Our guests could not get enough of them!! They also performed our first dance song to perfection, exactly to the style we had requested ❤️ These guys were a highlight in a day full of highlights for us & I would happily recommend them to anyone!! Alice & Josh, Wedding at Rosebery Steading, Near Edinburgh – 5th July 2025"

"The band played two sets of funky soul and disco classics for my party. Loved the blend of vocals, some really nice harmonies in there and the band are great. Also a nice, friendly group of people, very accommodating and reliable, kept in touch promptly right from initial enquiry. Everyone enjoyed it so a big thank you and hope to see you again soon!"

"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"

"We cannot recommend THE KMB highly enough - they was communicative and helpful in the run up to the wedding, and thier performance on the day was excellent. We’ve had so many compliments on what a brilliant wedding band we had, and how it was so memorably fun. Kane is a very talented performer & vocalist and if you want something a cut above the average wedding band, he’s your man!"

"Just to say thank you so much for last night, you guys were amazing! We had a great time and so many people told us how great they thought you were, how fun they found your sets and how much energy you all had (everyone is particularly in awe of how amazing you were, especially in those heels!) You totally made our night!"

"Thanks very much. Although the weather affected the attendance on Saturday it didn’t dampen the spirits of those who came and who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thanks to you and the band for being a part of that. I will have no hesitation in recommending you in the future and we had a great time."

"I would like to say a big thank you to for your beautiful voice and to Clare and Bruno for the wonderful instrumental accompaniment at Ann’s (Annie) birthday celebration on Sunday. Everyone loved the music and “song list” and we will be talking about it for a long time to come. "

"A huge thank you to Thames Valley String Quartet for the beautiful music they played at our wedding. Firstly for playing me down the aisle so beautifully and then during our reception. They truly added to a perfect day for us. From start to finish the quartet were professional and polished, even learning our first dance for us from scratch. They were not fussed by changing timetables as sometimes happens at weddings & were happy to play our requests. Their musicality and passion for the music were clear from start to finish. We thoroughly recommend Thames Valley String Quartet to anyone wishing to add something special to their event. Thank you again"

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and to the band for Saturday night. I had anticipated the excitement, but what I hadn’t expected was the wonderful, joyous sound of the band, and what an effect it would have on everyone. The trumpet was so beautiful! It really was a special experience and better than I could have imagined. Laura was surprised and delighted and is still talking about it now. Please pass on a massive thank you to Franco and the band. And of course thanks for your patience and organisation!"

"The band was great and they tailored the music to suit our group and encouraged people to join in. Lovely manner and professional. Very experienced caller and musicians. Enthusiastic comments and praise from all our guests. Several potential enquiries regarding bookings will hopefully follow. We couldn't have wished for a better way to celebrate our special anniversary. Every thanks to the Black Velvet Ceilidh Band. "
