Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"“The Hot Hats have provided entertainment at two of our company BBQs. They first played live entertainment for us at the very grand Clevedon Hall in 2015 and we did not hesitate to ask them to play at this year’s event. This year they performed for us at the equally grand Leigh Court near Bristol, to help us celebrate our recent Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation. Both events were fairly intimate with around 50 guests attending and they provided the perfect background music to both. They played three 40 minute sets with an intermittent playlist to keep the atmosphere lively. Their chilled yet professional approach and happy song selection was perfect for a sunny afternoon. Thank you both for bringing the party, everyone had a great time!”"

"A huge thank you to The Bants for making our wedding extra special. The band played some cracking tunes throughout the evening, all guests where on the dance floor. Really professional, great communication, everyone had a fantastic time. The new Mr and Mrs Stephens "

"I supplied a mobile disco at a 40th Birthday Party today. Motion Picture did a 5pm - 7pm set and I provided music before and after. I can honestly say that they were one of the best bands I've seen live. Instrumentally and vocaly they were AMAZING. They didn't miss a note and the vocal range of the lead singer was unbelievably good. Keeping in mind this was a performance where they had set up in someone's house, and had speakers positioned in the garden. So to produce live music in that situation to that higher quality again shows their professionalism and talent. In a theatre or similar setting they must be UNBELIEVABLE. Really can't say enough good things, personally loved the performance and was extremely lucky to see them!"

"On behalf of all the Playwork Team at The Spinney Adventure Playground, thank you for giving your time on Wednesday to making our annual event for national Playday such a great success. It was wonderful to see so many children, young people and their families enjoying all the activities on offer and how as local partner organisations we worked together to make this happen for the people of Wisbech. It was a great day and a great event and we thank you for all your help. If possible, we would like to book you in for next year’s Play Day? Best wishes Rachel Milsome Playworker Wisbech Adventure Playground"

"Radio Dukes played at our wedding two weeks ago. They were fab from the first point of communication. Really helpful and flexible to any requests. From doing our first dance through to the amazing last song, the dance floor never emptied! The energy was infectious and all our guests commented on how great they were. Thank you for some wonderful memories. Would 100% recommend."

"We had the pleasure of having Danny play at our intimate Ceremony and Wedding Reception this August and we can’t recommend him highly enough. Danny is very accommodating and was wonderful to work with from the start. We were after instrumental improvisation so Danny recorded and sent over some extra samples for us before we even made our booking. We also had a special request for the processional that couldn’t have been easy to transcribe - Danny arranged a version that involved playing both a harp accompaniment and vocal melody on the guitar - and it worked beautifully! Even if you have something a little bit different in mind for your event or wedding then you would be in safe hands with Danny - he is a wonderfully talented and clearly very skilled guitarist. We have had so many of our guests approach us to ask about him since, including those who now want to book him for their upcoming weddings! Danny is also incredibly charming and a really lovely presence to have around - we had a very small, intimate ceremony and his easygoing and friendly nature meant he blended right in. All in all, Danny exceeded our already high expectations. He was a major part of what made the atmosphere of our Ceremony exactly what we had wanted. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone. Thank you Danny :) "

"The Blue Suede Shoes were amazing. With their professional and clear communication leading up to the day we knew we would be in safe hands. On the night they came in and set up without fuss and when the time came to play they really got our guests up and dancing. Their playlist is extensive and was enjoyed by all our guests. With their friendly and fun attitude we're so glad we had them to create the perfect soundtrack to our wedding reception."

"We had Rachel sing at our wedding ceremony at St John's Church in Heysham on Saturday 27th June 2015. Throughout the whole planning process nothing was too much trouble and Rachel made us feel at ease and relaxed about everything. We were both blown away when hearing our song choices being sung it was moving and fitting for the day. All of the congregation said how fantastic she was and a couple were almost moved to tears. It made our day extra special and was a pleasure to have Rachel as part of our wedding. "

"It all went extremely well, from booking, organising and set up and the set was excellent. I would highly recommend both Red & Black and Rory and his band. It was excellent, and I will definitely be booking again."
