"What a fabulous evening we had in Scole Church at the Rotary Concert where we were entertained by the fabulous Joanna Levy. This talented lady has appeared in several West End musicals including Oliver, Annie and Les Miserables and gave us some really lively renditions of songs from her favourite musicals and other popular pieces. Her fabulous voice echoed through the church. Joanna has a very charismatic, fun personality, encouraging us to sing along which we really enjoyed, especially to the Mamma Mia medley. We were also delighted by songs from the Andrews Sisters, Doris Day and Barbara Streisand, among others. Joanna is a fabulous entertainer. It really was an evening to remember."

"‘We just wanted to say thank you so much for playing at our chuppah. The aisle song was absolutely beautiful and made our ceremony so special. As I'm sure you saw everyone loved the simcha set. It really gave the simcha a good energy and everyone loved it! Gabby & Dave’"

"Than you so much for singing at our event. Though we had a wide range of ages you managed to appeal to all. You have a gorgeous silky voice that really made the party. I would not hesitate in recommending you. Thanks for singing for us."

"Sarah and Igor MADE our Christmas dinner. They were absolutely fantastic and way exceeded anything we could have dreamed for the evening. Truly unique performers with enormous talent. Without question would book them again."

"Thank you so much for the most amazing performance - we absolutely loved you, as did our guests! You played hit after hit and sounded brilliant. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks also for playing our somewhat obscure first dance!"

"From beginning to end you were all totally professional. It was such a relief when you took the worry of the evenings schedule of my hands, and applied your experience to make the evening run so smoothly. From the moment you guys sang in the empty marquee as a sound check, I knew that if the caterers failed to turn up and the marquee was to fall around our ears your performance would still make it a fantastic night."

"East of Eden what a great band - energy and passion, fiddle and sax weaving over hand percussion and Neil's various pairs of strings, and a bassist that I still say reminded me of Victor Wooton."

"All I can say is a big thank you to you for making our Ladies nightvery special, The place came alive when you started singing, texts ande mails of appreciation are still coming in. Union Lodge was consecrated in 1736 and I don't think it has ever been rocked like that before. Thanks again "

"Having seen Maria perform a stunning set at our annual Jingle Ball, I recently hired the band for a Key 103 listener party and the feedback from all guests was excellent. The selection of songs was spot on and the dance floor was packed, I wish I'd have asked for an extra 1/2 hour!! "

"Just wanted to say that Sinead and I are beyond grateful for everything you and the band did for us. It was a day that we will never forget which was finished off in style with such a fantastic band. Not only was the swagger and musicality flawless throughout the evening but we were so grateful for letting people occasionally sing along with the band. Everything was so fluid and there was a perfect mix of everything people wanted to hear, I don’t think the dance floor was empty once! I don’t think we’ll ever be able to put into enough words how grateful we are but thank you for helping make it one of the most memorable evenings we’ve ever had. We will do whatever we can to spread the word about the band but I’m pretty sure all 180-odd guests are still talking about it now!"

"“We were absolutely delighted with Beskydy’s commitment, talent, and performance. They learned a piece specifically for my daughter’s wedding march, and their repertoire perfectly matched our guest list for a Jewish wedding which was also attended by family from the Balkans”"

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a joy to be part of your daughter’s wedding and to prepare the special piece for her march. We’re thrilled that our music helped bring together your family and friends from different traditions—moments like that are what make performing so meaningful for us.

"Enchanted Harpist was absolutely brilliant at our recent wedding - her harp playing is second to none and she even learnt new songs that we specifically requested! She is truly talented and made our day so special. Highly recommend! "

She has an amazing ability to mould herself to an event and engage the audience with her infectious personality and brilliant voice. I can't wait for the next gig!"
