"We've seen Barrel House Vipers quite a few times in Bristol so were really keen to book them for a swing dance event with 90 dancers. Needless to say they were awesome. They're a fantastic band with hugely talented musicians who catered for a range of speeds for lindy hop, bal, blues and shag. We'd really love to have them back again and couldn't recommend highly enough! "

"My wife and I heard The Full Beans at a friend’s wedding and felt they would be perfect for my Oktoberfest themed 30th birthday. They did not disappoint and were arguably even better than we remember. The two sets they played went down and absolute treat, the songs they played were a brilliant take on the originals, that got everyone up dancing and singing along, there were definitely no shortage of people on the dance floor. Jake, who helped organise, was really helpful and was always quick to respond to my emails. I would happily recommend them to anyone who wants a really good knees up! Thanks again, was cracking!"

"The BV's performed in June 2016 at my parents Golden Wedding celebration and we couldn't have asked for better. Their playlist was excellent and fitted perfectly for the occasion. They set up up promptly and were excellent at involving my parents and the younger guests appropriately making it a very special and enjoyable evening. I actually can't recommend them any higher!"

"We needed something engaging but also for the background at our Christmas doo which worked for all age groups. The girls were professional, lovely to work with and have the most beautiful voices. Just perfect, thank you."

"I am happy to confirm that you and your colleagues on the sax, bass and piano indubitably added greatly to the atmosphere of the evening. Lots of the guests commented very enthusiastically on how much they had enjoyed the music. My feeling is that you added warmth, sparkle, and a sense of celebration to the evening, and the range and style of play was perfect to modulate between grabbing people’s attention and providing harmonious background, as appropriate for the stage in the proceedings. I was also appreciative of how flexible you were about the times of taking a break so that there was always music except during the brief interlude for speeches. I was delighted to have found you through [Last Minute Musicians] and would definitely recommend not only you and your colleagues but [Last Minute Musicians] too."

Hi Gillian, Thank you so much for your e-mail, and lovely, kind words of feedback for Rory @ Burgh House, London (Hampstead) on 09/07/2023 It means so much to us that you and your guests both enjoyed the music and were happy with arrangements for the event. I will definitely pass on your kind feedback to the musicians and Ben at [agency] who, I am sure, will be delighted. Ben mentioned Robin Weil’s dad, Stephen, was at the event, so it was wonderful to hear that as well. I sincerely appreciate you getting in touch, and I would like to once again thank you for the opportunity of having us perform in July. I send you my warmest wishes to you and your colleagues and friends, for the year ahead. Gratefully, 🎷 Rory

"Hi Jessica! I’m reaching out to you after the big day… I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our wedding reception so special and warm. You were absolutely incredible, everyone said so. And a special thank-you from me for getting me to dance and finally relax by playing Paolo Conte… truly an unforgettable moment. ❤️"

"Oscar on violin and Barney his brother on accordion where pure class for my mums 80th. They played a mixed set of gypsy jazz, Irish jiggs and more contemporary pieces. Beautiful timbre to both instruments, everyone was asking how to book them. Great day, great lads and suitable for all ages, well done boys, magical memories made. "

"The new line-up has bedded in very well. There is expert musicianship and great arrangements resulting in a much tighter sounding group. Highly recommended."
