Review Centre: World Music Ensembles

"We come here with the same group of friends a couple of times a year, from as far as Penkridge. The reason we come is mainly Iroel, the Cuban singer /entertainer who makes every visit memorable. ¡Muchísimas gracias por el espectáculo estupendo qué lo haces cada vez!"

"I first encountered The Tuning Forks fairly recently, at a 200 capacity independent venue in the Strathbungo area of Glasgow. I was there as House Audio Tech and it was one of those nights where before the soundcheck had even commenced, I had a sense that something pretty special was about to happen. The individual tones they delivered during soundcheck were staggeringly rich and I knew that once the faders were at unity and the ensemble played as a unit that my initial instinct had to be correct. I was NOT prepared for the emotive, playful and dare I say, danceable set which we were treated to. Like an organism made of limbs that mostly supported each other without obstruction, ego or flashiness, but with occasional forays into wild and feral territories; always as a unit and simultaneously bubbling like a pot on the stage with sudden bursts of joyous phrase manipulation or flurries of individual hyper-expression that always teased and never outstayed their welcome. I was left shellshocked and almost lost for words immediately following their performance. Frivolity, lullabying, romance, questing, struggle, sadness, ecstasy and introspection seemed to come like waves from the stage but, the overall feeling was that the explorations I was witness to were a fun and gentle love letter to the magic of the life experience. In summation… There are very few artists that inspire me to lower my inhibitions enough to literally ASK to work with them again as soon as possible… but that’s exactly what was called for!"

"Hi Paul, Please could you pass on my thanks to the whole band who were absolutely superb on Saturday. For many it was the highlight of the evening and brought back memories of their service in the Caribbean.My only regret is that I couldn't spend more time listening and dancing but I'm sure there will be plenty of other opportunities. I hope you enjoyed yourselves too and that you'll come back next time to entertain us. Once again, thank you for making the evening one to remember for all our guests. Regards,"

"We had The Emeralds play at our wedding reception in September, and they were outstanding. It was raining in the morning on our day and we didn’t know if we’d be able to have them play outside but they did. They brought warmth, energy and laughter to our cocktail reception and we’re so grateful. We were whisked off for pictures so we never got to say thank you in person. But we loved the music they played and our guest were very impressed. So a big thank you to The Emeralds!"

"We really enjoyed your show last night in Carnaby Street. My wife loved your Facebook song. You got everyone involved in your performance, and that’s great. I’m a Dj and I know that’s not easy. But you got the crowd on fire!"

"The Northern Oompah Band were 10/10. Could not recommend any more. Will be the first thing we arrange for net years event. Kept the crowd going, had only outstanding reviews from guests. Fantastic and lovely people also, all credit to the band and frontman. Brilliant."

"Edina gave a superb performance accompanied by her guitar duo De Fuego, for a private party my family was hosting in a bar in Central London. Together they created a stupendous upbeat atmosphere which worked very well in contributing to the mood of the Spanish bar where the party was hosted. Both artists were unrelentingly smiley and engaging with their audience. I would definitely recommend Edina as a performer for any occasion or event. "

"Of all the bands that performed that day at our event, Ciro and his band was definitely the one we were looking forward to seeing. What can I say, we were already impressed with his voice and energy in the demo videos we watched but we certainly didn't expect to be in front of a real showman! We had a lot of fun and didn't stop dancing for the duration of both sets. What a voice, guys! Highly recommended "

"First time I'd been to a Jazz concert. It was what I expected and more. An outside charity event at Gallery House near Marykirk in Aberdeenshire. It was a cold evening for June but the band kept us warm ? Hoping this event happens every year and they come back??"

"We really enjoyed it and so did all our guests -the band was great. The set was perhaps a little shorter than we had anticipated but there was a bit of delay with dinner so this may have had something to do with it. The communication from you and the band was excellent throughout and we were generally very pleased with the service and would be glad to recommend your company and the band. "

"The VIP Formula performed for us last Saturday and were absolutely amazing!! They arrived in good time to set up before the guests arrived and looked great in their suits and hats, which worked well with the glitz and glam theme of the evening. The band were fantastic in creating a rapport with the guests, which got them dancing during the whole of their performance. Everyone loved them. The band even got the guests singing, clapping and doing a conga dance. We have certainly found our go-to band for a great celebratory event and would definitely hire them again. They were fabulous!"

"We booked Edina to play for the drinks immediately after our wedding service, on 9th July 2016. We had heard and enjoyed her YouTube videos, and went to see her play in a bar in Brixton. She has an excellent range of styles of music, and was able to include some film music we love, and some Spanish tunes for Marta's Spanish relatives to enjoy. After the wedding, many friends commented they'd enjoyed her playing - excellent soundtrack for a beautiful summer day, both enjoyable for those who wanted to listen, but also unobtrusive for those who were chatting to friends. We'd also add that she's very organised and efficient, making the booking process simple, and she contacted us a few days before the wedding to reassure us that everything was in order and confirming her arrival time (which of course she kept to!) We'd happily encourage anyone looking for great music and no hassle to book her for their event!"

"The Latin Inquisition were amazing, they were the highlight of the evening! People were up dancing from start to finish and didn’t want the band to finish. If you are looking for something unique and for already well loved songs to be given a twist and to sound even better these are your guys! Best wedding band ever!"
