"We had an absolutely rocking time! The band had really great energy and didn't seem to miss even a note the whole evening. They played all the songs we asked for and even did a few extras to keep all our friends and family out on the dance floor and hopping. We would not hesitate to recommend the band to anyone for a function or to book them again if we had the chance. "

"We engaged Sarah to play at our wedding breakfast and she provided just the right ambiance for the day with a variety of classical, modern and pop classics. It was a wonderful day for us which was topped off by Sarah. Highly recommended!"

"Martin played at our wedding on the 3/8/24. He played for the ceremony and for the drinks afterwards which were lucky enough to have outside in the glorious sunshine.  I asked him if could learn a song that was special to me and my family that my late uncle played on repeat when we were all growing up (dire straits walk of life) which he played and made us all smile. I would absolutely recommend Martin.  He definitely helped make our day perfect."

"An absolute delight to deal with from beginning to end! For a couple who lacked a strong musical vocabulary, Sonia turned what could have been an arduous experience into a seamless one. After every phone call or meeting the first words out of our mouths were ‘I love Sonia.’ Sonia and her band played evocatively in our Cornish National Trust barn setting, got our guests on their feet and provided an elegant, sophisticated and mesmerising backdrop to our wedding. The icing on the cake: Sonia’s voice is spellbinding."

"For our private party, we booked a D.J. and Davide to play congas and bongos alongside him. He really made the evening so much more fun! He is very professional and reliable. We will definitely book Davide again next time."

"Absolutely thrilled and previaliged Jonny was able to come all the way to the Midlands to play at my Aunts funeral. Jonny played beautifully at my Aunts committal then again at the wake. We wanted traditional upbeat accordion music played to celebrate my Aunts life due to the amount of children attending in the family, and it being their first funeral. Everyone commented how lovely the funeral was, it wasn't somber at all, and how fitting Jonny's music was. Thank you from all family and wish you all the best and success for the future xxx "

"Thanks to South West Band who were brilliant at our wedding, we had Henry doing the PA system during the reception and the 3 piece band and they created such a great atmosphere on the dance floor which was packed all night. Henry had great song suggestions and was great to work with both during the day and prior to the wedding getting everything organised. He was so relaxed with timings which was great on the day. The band played great music, the classics, some mash ups and some requests on the night. Thank you!"

He is also an excellent communicator with our guests who all commented on the wonderful singing voice. Highly recommended- thank you Graham!"

"These guys were amazing, made me feel centre of attention all night long. Ian really made my night special, his high energy, his interaction with the audience, they were an amazing group of fellas. I highly recommend them and will be booking them again! Thank you for making my 50th birthday so special, you guys were amazing! You sang a bit of Dolly, just for me. All your songs were my favorites. You didn’t just turn up do a job and leave you really interacted with us, you came into the dance floor and sang to the audience. Multiple shout outs to me. You made me feel special. I highly recommend you guys. And great communication since the day I booked you."

"Hands-down, Simon is possibly the finest piper I have ever booked for a funeral service. Not only is he an excellent piper, he is also reliable, immaculately turned out and a pleasure to deal with and he is our first choice for a funeral piper in Herefordshire. "
