"The band were fantastic and everyone had a great time dancing all night. Two people have said when they need a band for birthdays or parties they will be booking The Hot Hats. Alfie was great in planning the playlist for the DJ option and the songs he played live were just great! Thank you for a great night."

"Just wanted to say thank you for your help with arranging the booking for Rebecca at our event on Friday and thank you to Rebecca for the wonderful music. Everyone including my MD was super impress with Rebecca singing and playing. It was a lovely addition to our event, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music. I would highly recommend Rebecca and she was very professional and accommodating. Thanks again and hope to work with you in the future."

"BEST BAND EVER!! Lilac and her 6pc funk band played at our wedding in Summer 2021, and Rem DJ'd. Both sets were absolutely fantastic! In the build up to the wedding, Lilac and Rem were incredibly helpful in guiding us through our playlist, identifying crowd pleasers and song collections which worked incredibly well together. They were both full of ideas and suggestions and left no stone unturned in their preparations! Planning our evening set with them was a real giggle! They were very clear in outlining their requirements on the day, and recommending what timings would work well. They were also incredibly understanding, cooperative, and willing to be flexible as we waited to plan our wedding around COVID. On the day, Lilac and the team were full of energy and this reverberated around the room, creating a truly special atmosphere! Lilac has an amazing, soulful voice and so much stage presence! The saxophonist was also outstanding!! They kept the dance floor filled all evening and full of noise as we all sang along. Lilac and the team's set was incredible, and they kept going beyond the two 45 min slots to all of our delight! Rem's DJ set to conclude the evening was incredible! He struck a really great balance between old school classics and more modern, higher tempo tunes. We'll remember excitedly dancing along to Avici and Craig David, and finishing off with a sing along to Wonderwall, Sweet Caroline and Angels, with all our best friends surrounding us, for the rest of our lives! Thank you so much for a massive contribution towards making our wedding the best day of our lives! "

"After having had an awful 2022 Matt and I decided to throw a party, we had about 45 people in mind to invite but we wanted a band. I’m always put off by huge ones that you can never really hear the voices and your head and ears ache from the constant boom boom. Finding Alfie on a google search was exciting, they sounded exactly what we were looking for, for our intimate gathering. No problem at all to deal with prior to booking, which was simple and clear, we didn’t know at that time we were in for a treat, wow, the evening was absolutely superb. Alfie and Owens sound is brilliant, you can clearly hear the songs and the music, great vocals, no ear ache, just super super sounds coming from them. The choice of music suited our evening, and the requested songs to play were no problem. They integrated with our guests, some ‘hot’ to handle, and everyone had a fantastic evening, a massive thanks to you guys, it felt like we had friends with us, not a hired in band - and yes, we will see you again! (If you’ll come back that is!)"

"Jazz by numbers, all the Blue Note classics delivered by hand. An inter-changeable line up without any loss of quality. Close your eyes and u will hear the smooth grooves of Burrell, Hubbard, Higgins and Carter (with a sprinkle of Grover for good measure). Discover the delicate vibes of Love For Sale, best heard live with a delightful cocktail."

"I couldn't be happier with the Capriccio Quartet. The pre-wedding communication was brilliant, and on the day they were just amazing. A lot of guests have said how much they enjoyed listening to the music, and it made our wedding service and drinks reception absolutely perfect. Thanks so much chaps!! "

"Kellys Heroes, I cannot thank you enough for the most fantastic night I think I might have had in all my fifty years! I have not stopped smiling since. A dream come true for me to have Kellys playing in my garden and as the song goes- You couldn't have come at a better time!!"

"Dealing with Lynette ahead of the event was a pleasure, she was very easy to talk to and make all of the arrangements with. It was a shame I didn't get to meet her on the day, however this was down to her and the team just getting on with the job, by following the information she had been given to get to the venue and where she needed to be, which on a busy event day is just what you need. Fantastically low maintenance! Reports from our guests were really positive, the music was perfect and was pitched at just the right volume to provide a lovely ambience for our lunch, without being intrusive."

"J.A.R created the perfect vibe for my son's 21st. Music for all ages. Sunshine On Leith was superb and the Dua Lipa numbers went down a storm. They even let James get up and sing 😀 A great sound for any occasion."
