Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"We wanted to say a huge thank you for helping to make our evening so special. You were absolutely amazing!! We were so thrilled that practically all our guests were just dancing all night long, and Laura LOVED the chance to get up and have a sing ha-ha! From the start you were so great to work with, Ash every phone conversation and email was just so easy, thank you for being so flexible and accommodating on all of our requests. You have really helped to create some very special memories!"

"The Shooglers were outstanding! Everyone was up dancing thanks to the energy and fun that the band created. They even played 3 encores for us at the end since nobody would leave the floor. Awesome! "

"Joshua was amazing! We hired him for a 40th birthday party and I would definitely recommend. He communicated beforehand and we agreed the songs (although he can do this for you if you want). He played a mix of 80, 90 and 2000 hits at the start and more dance / Ibiza tunes at the end, which everyone loved. He arrived early and got set up and really made the evening special. He had everyone up dancing and even added a few extra songs on at the end. Such a good night and would fully recommend him. Thank you Joshua!"

"We just wanted to thank you both so much for playing so perfectly at our wedding on 7th June 2014 at Chilston Park. It was wonderful to see you both there playing when we arrived and to see that you had been entertaining our guests. We also loved your playing at the beginning of our wedding breakfast, it created a great atmosphere. Thank you and we hope to work with you again some time."

"Unfortunately it was not what I was expecting The vocals wasn’t good and the way they played them One example I chose Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash because I like country music Again they played their version which was to be fair 3/10 I can’t even bring myself to reply to their email they sent on the Sunday"

We're genuinely sorry you didn't enjoy our version of "Ring Of Fire" - I hope our more traditional Country take on "Jolene" was appreciated by Rose. It was great to see everyone dancing through the likes of "Twist & Shout", "Tainted Love" etc. and you, being centre stage for "All The Small Things" as well as throwing yourself into "Hey Jude", taking the microphone and leading everyone through the coda at the finale.

"Hi Alun, I'm hearing nothing but praise for the evening and your performance - it was great to see so many people dancing and enjoying the music. It's a bit of a craft to read an audience and get them up on their feet so you guys deserve a lot of credit! We will definitely keep you in mind for future events. Hope you have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! "

"Went to my brothers 6oth at weekend, warning, this act was terrible! I have a pub in kent and have many single acts who are cheaper an so much better that this one lucky the dj dug the party out of the mire!!"

The facts are that only positive comments were received on the night. My, and most other artists’ fees are clearly displayed on this website. For the record, specific, constructive criticism is most welcome and always carefully considered and evaluated.

"We couldn’t have asked for better musicians, they are truly fantastic at what they do. They even learnt a couple of songs that were not part of their usual repertoire and performed them perfectly. We would definitely recommend Eccentric Pony, they will not disappoint!"

"My fiance and I are farmers and we really wanted the "Combine Harvester" song as our first dance. I know it sounds strange but John suggested he could make an alternative version that would be suitable. I was a little skeptical but excited to see if it was possible. True to his word he produced a stunningly, romantic and almost unrecognisable cover of the track with the lyrics remaining in tact perfect for our special day. I'll be forever grateful for him fulfilling our request and making my day so unique. Thank you John!!!!!"

"What an AMAZING band!!!! The dance floor was full from the minute you started playing right through to the end of our evening! What lovely guys, Craig helped organise everything with us beforehand in the weeks leading up to the wedding ? And our first dance song was just perfect ? We cannot thank you enough!"

"I just wanted to say how marvellous the CG string quartet were, it was so lovely to hear strings playing in the church and they sounded so beautiful. I did thank them before we left the church but I just wanted you to know how pleased we were. Thank you very much for being so organised and efficient. It was a wonderful day that we will never forget."
