"Excellent very professional band. Lots of communication before the event ensured that the leader of the Dogs Body Ceilidh Band knew what we wanted and they did not disappoint. Everyone commented on how good the band was and how good the caller was. They ensured that we had a great evening."

"Thank you so much for the fantastic music, it was really enjoyed by all! Your setup was very professional and your singing is absolutely beautiful, we couldn’t have asked for more, thank you. We are having a great time in the Maldives, it really is paradise, all that’s missing is your singing! If we ever need another DJ/Singer you will definitely be on the top of our list!"

"We booked The Fireflies for our wedding in September 2024. Ian (the lead singer) was excellent at communicating throughout and made the whole build up and overall experience so easy and relaxed. Then there was the performance from this amazing party band. They sound great together. Bags of charisma and character from the whole band. An excellent vocal from Ian on lead, who himself is a wonderful showman who got in and amongst our guests making it a super fun immersive experience for all of them. The band also came with a lovely lighting rig which really bought their sets to life. In short we cannot recommend the Fireflies anymore! Go book them for your wedding now!"

"We booked The Confidential for our corporate event following a recommendation and they were amazing – not only the music, which got the party started, but also a couple of sessions of Bandeoke, which was great fun. The addition of a Photo Booth just ticked all of the boxes and our evening was complete – a huge success. A huge thank you to The Confidential!"

"I cannot begin to thank you all enough. I am sorry that I only spoke to you so briefly on the day, I feel very bad about that, but I hope you know that from behind my tired, haven't kept down a meal for 3 days face, I was having a wonderful time and really am so grateful for how smoothly, professionally and kindly you set up, and lent us the PA and then came so quietly on the Sunday that I didn't even notice you take your things away! Most importantly though, thank you for such a wonderful party. You guys really made the evening and everyone, without fail, was absolutely riveted by you and bombarded us with praise for having found such a phenomenal band… you really were perfect. Dancing amongst the crowd one of my favourite things was hearing everyone say excitedly after each song 'what are they going to play next, what are they going to play next'. And then without fail the little bursts of 'yesssss' as you broke into yet another amazing track and pulled it off with your unfailing finesse, sending the whole dance floor into a crazy writhing mess of the kind of dancing that people save specially for weddings! Your repertoire and your astounding competence at playing each track was remarkable. Paul told me that your Bassist was standing in for someone with a broken wrist… or something like that, well you really were so good and pulled it off completely if that was the case. I had to go and have a lie down half way through the set and it was very annoying to lie there listening to great track after great track… I wanted to pause the party until I had energy enough to come and dance again. Apologies for the mix up with the cake cutting, I had no idea there was any plan to do that and I think my well meaning but slightly over zealous parents asked you guys to stop for it, whilst I was actually having a lie down upstairs and not about to go anywhere near a cake. But I don't think it spoiled anyones fun too much and the party was really fantastic. I really can't thank you enough. I know you guys had to cancel things for the evening and it was so kind of you to give us a mates rate. I will, of course, be recommending you to anyone and everyone, especially Chaucer Barn, as presumably as it's in your hood it would be a convenient regular wedding setup. Also if you need any quotes of recommendation or anything we will of course be happy to sing your praises to anyone."

"Katy sang for us at the evening reception of our wedding. Her voice was absolutely stunning and she had the friendly personality to match. We still get compliments from our guests now on how amazing she was. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who would like an incredible voice to top off their special day!"
