Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"What can we say?! You guys were fantastic, we had so much fun as did our guests who have not stopped with the compliments since. It was our first ceilidh dance like many of our guests but it mattered not at all, Kip was brilliant at calling the moves and getting everyone up on their feet having a go and managing to get us holding it together which is no mean feat when it comes to rhythmically challenged mates!! And for those of my guests who have been to many a ceilidh dance, they too couldn't praise the band highly enough and all said it was the best they have been to. One very happy bride :-) I'd recommend Blue Jewel to anybody wanting to inject some fun into any party - the perfect ice breaking, crowd pleasing entertainment, everyone can join in and have a blast, no rhythm required!!

"The Hot Hats are without a doubt simply wonderful. They possess a fantastic ability to combine superb musical talent, lovely charming personalities, the knack for knowing exactly what to play (great set list!) and when to play it, sublime voices blending wonderfully in harmony and frankly were a hugely big part to the brilliant success of my 50th birthday party last month. I recommend them 100%. If anyone is going to book them please can you invite me so I can see them again?!"

"Wignoria played for our wedding from the guests arriving to the end of the wedding breakfast. They were fantastic, the music was amazing and played our requests for walking down the aisle as well. Would highly recommend them and they are very reasonably priced for 4 talented musicians."

"It was an absolute pleasure and delight meeting you on Saturday, you completely blew me away with expectations. I know that you had not had the best of weeks prior to Saturday, but please don’t let peoples opinions or actions define who you are as a person, or your passion. You are extremely talented and is a gift. So many people came to me and said how amazing you are! "If you are considering hiring Rory for your event 100% do it. Rory played at our wedding and completely blew us and our guests away, such a talent. Before our wedding we collaborated on what vibe we wanted to set, songs, some surprises for our guests and Rory completely understood the assignment and just continued to surprise and bring pure joy. Rory made our wedding the most magical, joyous and beautiful experience possible."

Hi Lyndsey, Sorry to hear you’ve not been feeling great, although I can understand with the wedding and everything, with all the preparation and seeing so many people from your life in one go, it can be emotionally and physically draining. Do take plenty of rest and care of yourself. You deserve it! Thank you so much for your wonderful testimonial, really, it means the world to me! As you know, I had such joy contributing to your special day and I really appreciate your kindness and the energy of everyone at The Merlin. Thanks also for your understanding, Sarah-Jane was very supporting, she said that this wedding was what I needed right now, and like you said it was meant to be! It was great spending some time in Manchester again! It was a fantastic event, a true pleasure to be a part of, and feel free to give SJ a shout if you need any help with any future events. Many thanks and have a wonderful Christmas. All the best for 2025! Cheers Rory

"Please would you thank Wade and the band very much for attending our Fun Day on Friday 15th June. It was a pleasure to meet them and both residents and staff were delighted to watch, dance and listen to such a versatile repertoire. The weather was disappointing but it didn’t dampen our enthusiasm. I do hope we have an occasion to book the band again."

"COULDN'T RECOMMEND TONY AND THE BAND MORE!!! Went to an event on the 23rd of November. The venue was really cool. Food and drinks available. The band were incredible. Couldn’t help but dance. The vibe was so nice. Everyone that attended was friendly. I can’t wait for the next show. I’ll definitely be there. Regardless of age I think this is the perfect night out."
