"The Donaghue Quartet were absolutely fabulous. They visited our offices ahead of Christmas to serenade us with Christmas carols. They were all lovely individuals who had beautiful voices. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and would recommend the group to all. "

"I had the absolute pleasure of having this fantastic duo play at my 40th birthday, and they were incredible from start to finish. They were professional, warm, and genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable. In the lead-up to the event, they were completely reliable and easy to communicate with, giving me total confidence that everything would run smoothly. On the night, they curated a brilliant set list that perfectly suited each part of the evening, from relaxed early on to upbeat tracks later that got everyone on the dance floor. They read the room so well and created such a fun, lively atmosphere. So many of our guests commented on how great they were! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for any special occasion."

"We waited a few days to write this review on account of all of the clearing up we’ve done since our Wedding party. This is relevant because it means I am not writing this on a high - it’s objectively true... Audio Riot have been literally phenomenal from day ONE of enquiry. Their communication has been faster than anyone I think we’ve ever worked with. They put solicitors, practitioners, contractors and even accountants to shame in terms of their promptness and professionalism. I cannot stress this enough. We were left with no questions, their user friendly communication and questionnaires answered questions we didn’t even realise we had yet. Their communication between booking to event date was regular and friendly. This took any stress we could have had in planning a band away - meaning we could concentrate on everything else to plan. On planning: our wedding party itself was amazing. The band - namely; Ian - coordinated everything for us! Cutting of the cake / first dance / blessing - everything. It was like having a showbiz, extremely talented musician also acting as an on the night events planner! The show set up was WAY above what we expected. The lights turned our hall into a legitimate show - and it seemed like they managed to do this without any interruption all the while playing some great music to keep our guests entertained. Oh my goodness - they were PHENOMENAL on stage. They had the people dancing ALL evening. I don’t think I’ve seen 3 encores at a wedding ? - but it was at least 3 plus DJ sets that only inspired more dancing and singing! The only regret is that we don’t have another event lined up that we can invite them to play. If anyone is looking for an extremely good band, excellent performance, fantastic taste in music, the friendliest of people and next level professionalism - these are your team. Thank you Audio Riot for putting the magic into our special day. Honestly couldn’t have asked or hoped for more. With thanks and love, Louis and Stacey Chavannes"

"Tom and I want to say a massive THANK YOU to The Haystacks duo (Drummer - Matt and Guitarist/singer - Rachel) for playing at our wedding party last Sunday. We've had a lot of people tell us since how much they enjoyed the music - so thank you again! You were just right for what we needed! Abbie "

"After Dark headlined our garden festival HogFest and they were fantastic. Their song list ensured that everyone was up on their feet from the off. Amazing night and have already rebooked them for Hogfest 4 - 2018."

"I can't thank you both enough for making my party so special. I loved the way you both got the audience involved with the percussion instruments and put everyone at ease. Everyone told me how amazing you were and I agree. My sister in law told me she wants to adopt you so you can perform at every party she goes to. "

"On a recommendation from a good friend, I booked the band Soul Occupants for my 50th birthday party in Chelmsford. I must say from the point of contact with Jez everything seemed so simple. They kept in contact on a regular basis leading up to the event and I was filled with confidence. My party was a Peaky Blinders theme but due to my age I wanted a good variety of songs etc, I was not disappointed. The female lead singer blew us away with her strong vocals and the band were in true harmony all evening. The last hour of my celebration the roof was truly lifted and 130 guests were all on the dance floor and the band quite deservedly received 3 encores . Thank you guys cannot say thank you enough. A BIG THANK YOU me and my guests have not stopped talking about you guys. I’m sure you will be in high demand, you made my 50th an event to treasure!"

"H&S perform a uniquely stripped back style of retro hits leaving you feeling uplifted and relaxed. They played for our wedding ceremony having learnt one of our favourite songs before entertaining our guests for the reception. Would definitely recommend, they’ll add a touch of class to any event."
