"We first heard Rob play at our venue-tasting event and knew immediately that we wanted him to sing at our wedding. He played beautifully and kept our guests entertained during the drinks reception. Thank you, Rob! You were amazing and we'd highly recommend you!"

"I booked The BV's to perform at The Balmoral Hotel, Edinburgh on 20th May 2017 as part of a programme to present some of the finest acts from Edinbugh and beyond in the iconic setting of Palm Court. Since then I have booked The BV's a number of times and have come to rely on their high standard of performance and their flexible approach particularly in the different musician line ups they can offer for different performances. Their collective professional experience and musicianship I have come to hold in high regard."

"Amazing! We asked Mark to play at our wedding between the wedding breakfast and evening reception as it is a lull moment for alot of guests. Our guests did not feel bored, the performance Mark gave was amazing and got alot up dancing in the bar area. Everyone was commenting on how much they loved it. I would 100% recommend Mark to anyone who wants to entertain there guests and have a great time, seeing everyone enjoying themselves was priceless down to Mark. Thankyou Mark"

"It’s March and still raining. I’ve trawled through some serious procrastination to decide where I’m going tonight; at least three decent live music offerings in Chester that I know of. And I’m sure the others were brilliant. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience are, in their own words, a “tribute to the British Britpop music scene” and a “powerful combination of passion and quality.” A tribute band, to me, equals lunatic professionalism. To tribute a whole scene is a big ask. Good covers bands are rare enough, taking that enormous and unlikely step beyond random amateur recreation. But these guys really do tick the box of perfectionists, professional curators though. Friday night was time travel night with a set list that captured the point where British alt-rock got (largely) happy and popular (in a good way). A guitar-dominated, looping and lurching opener with Ocean Colour Scene and The Riverboat Song; polished and convincing. The second song in and I’m braving the dance floor with the pointy-shooed brigade. A few songs further and they offer me proof of their professionalism. A very-very-very long time ago I was lucky enough to make it into Brixton Academy and unfortunate enough to catch James on a sincerely off night. And I’ve heard James and Sit Down many times since: at home, on the radio, in DJ sets and covered more than it should be. It's one of those beautiful songs that gets tired through overuse. And on this particular Friday night I heard it come alive; all vitality restored. There were the things I expected; a good dose of Blur and Oasis both, Stereophonics, Bluetones and more, then some referencing back to foundation stones with The Who and The Jam. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience switched between styles and musical voices with conviction; into acoustic things and seamlessly back out again. The magic of seeing grown men dance without a pint in hand happened repeatedly through the two sets. On any given set you pray for that one song you don’t see coming; the track you might flick through on the album that becomes something else entirely live. So it was with Blur’s Charmless Man. That perfect Blur poetry, is simple, direct and delivered with energy. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience are a good distance from being charmless. They are careful collectors and curators of songs; fine musicians and performers!"

"I have seen Rachel Mercer perform in musicals as well as singing solo. Clarity of voice; emotion; power and passion are the hallmarks of her performance. A born entertainer. "

"I booked Natalie to perform solo cello for a surprise party - she played beautifully and made the event feel so elevated and special. I would absolutely recommend SE strings and would happily book again for future events!"

"These ladies are so amazing. Four different women take lead vocals and they do amazing harmonies. Some beautiful musing songs, but also some rip roaring ones that get everyone on the dance floor."

"We were so excited to have Big Smoke at our wedding having had to postpone and it was definitely worth the wait. They were fantastic keeping our guests entertained during our drinks reception. This continued in the evening - many guests said they’d never seen so many people on the dance floor at one time! They guys are great and everyone loved them. The communication leading up to the day was great and they were happy to play the songs we really wanted as well as leaving off those we didn’t really like too much. We would highly recommend Big Smoke Brass!!"
