"I don't know where to start, Phil was absolutely fantastic for our special day. Everything from his organisation to his communication was brill, and his performance stunned everybody. The fact that he learnt 2 additional songs as requests for our first dance and another special song to us was just the icing on the cake!! Could not recommend more."

"I’m delighted to report that your artistic contribution to the wedding was judged to be a great success! That you chose the music aptly and performed it professionally was a given. For me, the ‘added value’ was that you arrived, performed and departed with an absolute minimum of fuss. To anyone organizing a busy event that counts for a lot. Thank you."

"We were lucky enough to book Lewis for a party to celebrate after our daughters wedding. His correspondence throughout was professional yet friendly so we were looking forward to meeting him. He turned up on the day and certainly didn’t disappoint! He has an amazing voice and such a great variety of sounds. We absolutely loved having him sing in our home, as did all our guests and can’t recommend him highly enough. "

So many people have commented and your details have been asked for by a few people, some who were not even there, word must have spread haha. We will 100% be doing this again some time and will be having you both back! "

"Simon sang at my mum's 70th Birthday in Cambridge on 19th April. Simon was absolutely fantastic, he has an incredible voice and sang some brilliant songs. All the guests loved Simon's singing and he created such a fun happy atmosphere. I would highly recommend Simon and definitely would use him again in the future for other occasions. Thank you again!

"Robert played the pipes at my wedding in Hertfordshire in early December 2020. We discussed the music beforehand and he arrived well in advance of the time required. He was immaculately turned out and played superbly both at the church and subsequently at the hotel. He was absolutely excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend him (and to book him again should the occasion arise). "

Your warmth and humour with all our family and friends has repeatedly been commented upon also your voice! The music suited everyone’s tastes but especially mine and Chad’s on our special anniversary!"

" Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * As Donald Rumsfeld once said, so famously causing the scratching of heads in consternation and dismay, “There are known knowns and unknown knowns…” yet somehow such double talk and heroic word play should be left to Rev. Ferriday and The Longdogs, for in their new albumUnforgettable Trues and Everyday Lies, the lyrical force of nature is far and away more direct, succinct and wonderfully managed than anything a politician could scramble together. Unforgettable is a mark that deservedly belongs to the band, the memorable and the cherished going hand in hand as their deep love of the Blues comes bounding across with enthusiastic vigour and in the case of this new album, with a darker edge, with an anger of the age attached to it, still very much enjoyable but somehow more threatening, more beautifully intimidating and yet at the same time never once wavering in its commitment to allow the listener to internally dance and shake loose; the Devil after all will always allow the angels to boogie on down. Everyday lies, whether those we tell ourselves to keep us going in the face of adversity or those we pronounce to others in order to impress or deflect our feelings, each one has its symbolic value; the same is said for the true-isms, the emphasise on what is clear and unvarnished, perhaps even understated, yet at all times striking and rich. Unforgettable Trues and Everyday Lies allows the freedom of movement within the confines of Blues to be explored and with Neil Sadler on bass, Scott Hunter on drums, the fabulous Owen Bray on harmonica and Else Black lending some terrific backing vocals, Rev. Ferriday captures the mood with pin-point accuracy. In tracks such as Broken People, Breaking Down, Shooting From The Hip and How Long, the music is contagious, it sweeps through the veins like a miniature train buffeting against stereotype intuition and scraping down in blocks of perpetual indifference with ease. This is an album that emphasises the battle in the way that words are seen and felt, it takes a writer of absolute skill to make a menacing note come across as nothing less that beauty personified and yet Rev. Ferriday manages with absolute conviction. A joy to be back in the company of Rev. Ferriday and The Longdogs, a fact of life that gets better and better each time they come around. Ian D. Hall"

"Ruby entertained us on a warm sunny Bank Holiday afternoon in the garden. We had a great time singing along and joining her for a dance. Will definitely be arranging for Ruby to visit again. "
