"On a recommendation from a good friend, I booked the band Soul Occupants for my 50th birthday party in Chelmsford. I must say from the point of contact with Jez everything seemed so simple. They kept in contact on a regular basis leading up to the event and I was filled with confidence. My party was a Peaky Blinders theme but due to my age I wanted a good variety of songs etc, I was not disappointed. The female lead singer blew us away with her strong vocals and the band were in true harmony all evening. The last hour of my celebration the roof was truly lifted and 130 guests were all on the dance floor and the band quite deservedly received 3 encores . Thank you guys cannot say thank you enough. A BIG THANK YOU me and my guests have not stopped talking about you guys. I’m sure you will be in high demand, you made my 50th an event to treasure!"

"Vicky and I just wanted to say again (I did thank each individual member of the band on Saturday) how much we enjoyed your performance on Saturday. We have had mountains of feed back from our guests saying how much they enjoyed the band. Thank you once again for helping to make it such a memorable evening."

"We just wanted to say thank you Tom for appearing at our corporate function on Saturday night. From the moment you started singing all our guests were up on the dance floor and didn’t want the night to the end. A wonderful voice and great fun! "

"We were very pleased with their performance. I was nervous of being in charge of booking the band for an important corporate event but they were brilliant and everyone enjoyed the performance. I was very happy with the services provided by the band. I have had lots of positive feedback on their performance from our guests. We are very pleased with how our event went and would be happy to use the band again in the future."

"Dear Andy I just wanted to thank you for the excellent performance on Captains day at Royal Cromer Golf Club, it was very well received by the members and got the room buzzing. I would also like to say how pleasurable the booking process was and the communication was second to none. It should also not go unnoticed that you accommodated me due to the cancellation of the event due to bad weather the Saturday before and agreed to come the week after on a Sunday which I cant thank you enough for. I'm sure if I have the opportunity again I would rebook you. Well done and thank you. Steve Smith"

"After spending weeks looking for a wedding band who could play more than the standard fare, we were intrigued on seeing their set list; finally a band who could satisfy all the guests with a mixture of classy soul, jazz and alternative pop. Once we listened to their demo we were sold; it was clear that Evelyn has the voice of and angel. However, this didn’t prepare us for the performance on the day, which exceeded all expectations. Love songs delivered with heartbreaking beauty and pop that had everyone off their seats until the last note of the evening. Evelyn and the Vipers are a wedding band for the discerning listener who gave us the perfect end to a perfect day."

"It's not the first time we'd seen you play Tim. You performed at my sister's 50th last year. You were so good my wife and I had to book you for our party too. What a good idea that was!"

"We booked Hit Society for our 25th anniversary and they got it exactly right. Not too loud early on, then built it up into a proper party later. Really lovely guys as well."

"Headlining at the Festival of Colours, Latina Festivale brought the South-American summer vibes with smooth vocals and tight melodies. The band were easy to work with, and we would book again."

"Where do I start! We booked The Fireflies for our daughter's wedding last Saturday and they were unbelievably amazing!! Not only are they incredibly talented musicians but they are just fabulous people who just made the vibe for the whole day and evening! Ian is an incredible vocalist but also has most infectious personality. He mixed with the guests making everyone feel so special and offered to be MC for the speeches etc which he carried out superbly with humour and ease. If you have an event for which you want a band, please hire these guys, they are exceptional!!!! Thank you Fireflies - you are awesome!!!"

"Rejigged were hired to play at my 50th birthday party. After reading many positive reviews from their website, I was really looking forward to an entertaining evening of music, dance and laughter with my friends and family. They didn’t disappoint! Chris liaised on behalf of the band and kept regular contact, before the event, ensuring he knew exactly how I wanted the evening to pan out. Booking and payment was simple and advice offered to maximise the success of the evening. We had booked the 5 piece Cailidh band, including the caller. The musicians were highly skilled professionals and their choice of music was perfect for the evening. The caller was entertaining and very patient with us dancers, who joined in enthusiastically, if not skilfully! (Let’s face it, going wrong in the dance is half of the fun!) The band played non-stop for one and a half hours, stopped for half an hour for refreshments and then continued for a further hour. It was wonderful to see the enjoyment on everyone’s faces and the atmosphere was full of fun and laughter. The band really made my special birthday an event to remember: they were excellent! If a Ceilidh band is something you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to book Rejigged; you won’t be disappointed, I promise. K.Barker "

"If you're looking for fantastic entertainment, look no further. Awesome band, no stress, fabulous musicians and great music choices! There is so much choice that it's hard to know which type of entertainment to book, I'd definitely recommend The Koniger String Quartet. Thanks for making our birthday celebration so special."

"Amazing!!! Was the perfect music for our anniversary party, made it feel special and different from a normal standard party in a welfare club! Good price, worked within our budget. All 70 guests praised and commented to us how good they rated the music. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much again for doing the long journey to us. Xx"

"I contacted ABBA Party Duo for my parents' 30th wedding anniversary. It was a surprised present from me and my sister. We had only a little idea of the choice of songs but the duo was absolutely fantastic. They made my mum cry in a good way and everyone said they made our day extra special. Especially, when Yue Miyagi, a Japanese guitarist started to play one of Japanese traditional folk songs, my mum seemed to be shocked with a nice nostalgic feeling. (My mum is Japanese!) What a beautiful night with full of warm intimate atmosphere!!! We can't put into words how happy we were. Thank you so much ABBA Party Duo!!! "
