Review Centre: Acoustic Bands

"This is an exceptional band. I'm really glad I found them for our wedding reception. They sounded good, were very professional, but most of all they had the whole venue alive! Not just my thoughts but the thoughts of everyone in the room. If you want a great band ... Look no further. "

"Molly and her quartet played for our Town Twinning Welcome Reception and we were delighted with the performance, as were our French guests. I would have no hesitation in recommending Molly's string quartet. The booking and music selection process was very easy - quickly and efficiently dealt with. They were on time and professional."

"I had always wanted live music at my Hen Do and boy did my Bridesmaids deliver! I had no idea what I was doing for my hen do and on the Friday night we had a knock at the door of our big house in Derbyshire and Lunar Acoustic arrived. They absolutely made my night, perhaps even my whole weekend. They set up in the kitchen and played their set and they were absolutely incredible! Christina has a stunning voice and with Harry's wonderful guitar playing they make the dream team. They played some great songs to get us all singing along and even learnt some songs my friends asked them to play as they were favourites of mine which really gave it the personal touch. I could not recommend them enough for any event, wedding, party or even hen do - they're a very personable pair who know exactly what they're doing. Thank you again, you were excellent."

"Dear Kellys Heroes, Thank you very much for playing the ceilidh at our wedding. We and our guests had an absolutely fantastic time. We have had so many positive comments from both first time ceilidhiers and more hardened veterans about the band and the calling. We hope you enjoyed the evening as much as us!"

"The BV's were brilliant, just what we wanted! They provided the music for our Roaring Twenties Christmas party, they played the perfect selection of songs to keep the dance floor jumping!"

"What a brilliant band. We had them lead our guests from the wedding party from the church to the wedding reception which was a huge success."

"I like everything!! You dealt with our arrangements professionally and promptly, you did a fab job of the song composed of our choice and the music throughout the day was wonderful (I'm just sad I was off having photos and missed some of it!). "

"Wow. What a performance. Sunny played at Cabra Bar in Cheddar Gorge and thrilled the crowd from beginning to end. Young and old were on the dance floor, singing along to his own songs, a hand full of covers and some brilliant mash ups. Sunny will leave you happy, smiling and humming away all night. I highly recommend same for public or private events, you will not be disappointed. Sunny.... We Got Love!!!!!"

I'm so sorry for the ridiculously slow response to your lovely review! I didn't receive any notificiation and have just stumbled across it. You must think me very ungrateful. Thanks so much for going to the trouble of writing this, we really appreciate it. I hope you're well. Very best wishes Alison x

"The Swing Zippers were the perfect band for our wedding drinks reception. Their mix of gypsy jazz and pop classics set the right mood for our outdoor event - it entertained people and complemented socialising rather than distracting from it. They're also a friendly, professional duo that are easy to deal with. Ten out of ten :) "

"I hired Sunny Steel Band to come and perform on a popular children's show and I'm so glad we did. The music was superb, the children were thrilled and the band were fabulous, really professional. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them for a TV shoot again."

"So many of our guests commented on how good Sheldon and his band were on the day. They played at my brothers wake which we knew would be a difficult occasion but they were so professional. Sheldon was very accommodating in fitting in all the songs we requested. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sheldon and his band. Thank you again for your excellent performance on such a difficult occasion"

"I booked Kellys Heroes to play at my 60th birthday party. You were amazing and everyone loved you. Everybody there was talking about how good you were, and they are still talking about it, even now. You were the main feature of the party which people remember! Of course, your excellent local reputation preceded you and that took some living up to - you did so admirably. I was worried that, with such a diverse group of guests, there would be awkward silences but Tony did a sterling job at getting people up on the dance floor and, once they started, they couldn’t stop. Quite a few of my friends commented that they forgot we were all hitting 60 and were dancing like young ‘uns. It says much for your music, though, that the real young ‘uns also joined in and it was a treat to see that younger Irish generation (because about 2/3 of the party were Irish) showing off their traditional dance skills to your music. Your song and tune selection was really excellent. Just the right balance, and lovely to have some songs which were favourites (Billy was completely made up with Carrickfergus) and others which were original compositions. Of course, the standard was – well – absolutely professional. It must be great to have such universal appeal. I can honestly say that your music hit the mark with both young and old; English and Irish – and even the small Greek contingent got up and learned a few dance moves! Your CD is being well-played on Corfu and in Athens now! I noticed a good few of the staff from the bar downstairs snuck in for a sneaky look too. You really made the evening for me and do, please, feel free to use this if you need a testimonial. Looking forward to seeing you soon at one of your gigs. With my very best wishes and thanks again. Linda"
