"In the balmy garden of the Parkhotel Laurin were Swiss duo Emily Lopez and Eliyah Reichen, playing Anastazja’s soulful original songs. Reichen colored in the chords, Herbie Hancock-like on Fender Rhodes. The soft bluesy vocal improvisations recalled Lauryn Hill, but higher and breathy, Björk-like. Reichen created spacey sounds with his iPad, while the bells of Bolzano and Anastazja’s warm guitar resonated dreamily through the electronica."

"Absolutely recommend!!! I'd provide a testimonial for SoulNfunk anytime. I've heard the band for over 4 years and the wide genres covered, the music and tribute acts are so professional. The talented musicians deserve every penny and more. There's nothing like a live band and these guys are Tip Top!! Sarah Dent xxx"

"The band were absolutely excellent. Communications with Rhona before hand were very good and she made sure everything was clear before the date. The band were very professional on the day and it went completely smoothly. I'm very pleased with booking them. They sounded brilliant during their set. Could not recommend enough. "

"I am going to struggle to find the words to describe just how fantastic ReMix were on Saturday night. Maybe a piece of feedback from one of my friends might do it "best party in Thames Ditton ever". Both bands were incredible. I loved the way that they interacted with everyone and really got involved rather than just playing in the corner. And the music! My toes were tapping as early as the sound check. Another friend said yesterday that her feet hurt because every time she moved off the dance floor, another great song got her back on it. It was really outstanding and I am very grateful. "

"I had so many compliments about you - the landlord of the pub was super complimentary and I know he has also asked for your details. Once again you literally made my birthday for me - thank you so much! "

"Our wedding was perfect and my wife and I owe a huge thank you to Shakers Gold for playing a big part in this. The rendition of the first dance was excellent, as was the whole set. Kept people dancing while not being overpowering and adjusted to late timing changes without difficulty. True pros and superstars.Thank you"

"Hi Melody Avenue, I just wanted to say thank you so much for performing at our wedding. After the band we hired got pinged we were so lucky you were available and if we're being completely honest, we were actually quite happy that first band cancelled as you guys were SO much better! Everyone was dancing all night long and you even included some club classics that we told you we loved! Micki, you are such a great performer and your voice is like pure gold, please never EVER stop singing! Thanks to your and all the band for everything. "

"Jo has been my singing teacher for many years and I booked her to sing at my Mum's 80th Birthday party. Jo spent considerable time liaising with us to come up with the perfect set for the occasion and helping us to decide whether we wanted singing in the background, or as a performance. We opted for a performance and Jo really got the party going! Guests ranged in age from teenagers to those in their 90's and every single one of them either got up and danced or joined in with the singing. My Mum was simply over the moon and has some fabulous video and wonderful photos of all her friends thoroughly enjoying themselves - and memories that she will cherish forever. Jo is professional, reliable and is able to adapt to suit any occasion, but most of all she is fun - a real 'people person' - and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her either as an entertainer or singing teacher."

"Liam and I wanted to email to send a big thank you for the performance you gave at our wedding last month. All the guests were truly impressed and loved the mix of soul, dance and rock covers that went down so well with young and older guests alike! We’ve had many compliments since, saying you were one of the best wedding bands our guests had seen. We also wanted to convey our gratitude for taking the time to learn our first dance song and perform it so beautifully, thanks for being part of such a special moment for us."

"Starlet Beat really got our wedding reception party going. They are great performers and kept everyone dancing all evening. Their enthusiasm was infectious - they obviously love performing. Karen was very helpful ahead of the event making sure that she knew what sort of music we wanted. She was extremely professional which meant that all went smoothly. We would highly recommend Starlet Beat!"

"Shakers Gold played at our wedding at Hestercombe Gardens in May and were brilliant! The band themselves were really friendly and accomodating on the timings, they had put together the perfect playlist and kept the dancefloor packed for the whole evening! Loads of people said how great they were and we would have no hesitation in recommending them x"

"What a fantastic band. Mark and his group were brilliant - everything we had hoped for. Mark did a solo acoustic set at the beginning, which was the perfect backdrop to people arriving and chatting. Then he and the band played 2 brilliant sets, getting everyone on the dancefloor. Mark was a brilliant communicator - listened to our requests and took them into account for the sets. He was also brilliant at engaging with the party. Top marks - would 100% recommend!"
