Review Centre: World Music Ensembles

"We booked MVS Steel Band Duo to play at our Notting Hill Carnival theme bank holiday at Revolucion de Cuba Derby. They were incredibly professional and punctual. Our customers and guests loved the band and it has definitely made our event extra special to have them. Next time we require a steel band we will not hesitate in booking them again. Thanks once more. "

"Edina was so fantastic! Not only is her playing wonderful but she really helped us to decide what we wanted from her sets. As well as playing at our reception, Edina played a stirring flamenco set during dessert, which get everyone moving and kept the energy up. Friendly, responsive and good fun, Edina received so many wonderful compliments from our friends. Thank you, Edina! "

"The Bizarre Pipers wandered around in the most ridiculous of conditions and brought a smile to face of everyone. They truly did sum up the essence of the Fair, with their cheerful attitude and willingness to smile despite being drookit! Well played."

"Hop Skotshne are the most wonderful band. They are lively, fun, and the music is perfect for a celebration. There was a cross generational, diverse crowd at the party, most of whom had never heard of klezmer, and everyone absolutely loved them. Just thinking of them puts a huge smile on my face."

"I first encountered The Tuning Forks fairly recently, at a 200 capacity independent venue in the Strathbungo area of Glasgow. I was there as House Audio Tech and it was one of those nights where before the soundcheck had even commenced, I had a sense that something pretty special was about to happen. The individual tones they delivered during soundcheck were staggeringly rich and I knew that once the faders were at unity and the ensemble played as a unit that my initial instinct had to be correct. I was NOT prepared for the emotive, playful and dare I say, danceable set which we were treated to. Like an organism made of limbs that mostly supported each other without obstruction, ego or flashiness, but with occasional forays into wild and feral territories; always as a unit and simultaneously bubbling like a pot on the stage with sudden bursts of joyous phrase manipulation or flurries of individual hyper-expression that always teased and never outstayed their welcome. I was left shellshocked and almost lost for words immediately following their performance. Frivolity, lullabying, romance, questing, struggle, sadness, ecstasy and introspection seemed to come like waves from the stage but, the overall feeling was that the explorations I was witness to were a fun and gentle love letter to the magic of the life experience. In summation… There are very few artists that inspire me to lower my inhibitions enough to literally ASK to work with them again as soon as possible… but that’s exactly what was called for!"
