"Seen this band quite a few times now over the years when they've played in public in Kent. Fantastic band! Go see them at O'Neill's in Bromley if you get a chance."

"Jimmy really made our wedding a day to remember. They got everyone up and dancing and we've had so many comments from friends and family after the event saying how much they enjoyed their set!"

"We booked Radio Dukes for our wedding back in June, and it was so refreshing to deal directly with a band! Mitch was really friendly, helpful and responsive from the beginning. We booked quite late in the day (our engagement to wedding process was only 5 months long!) but Radio Dukes certainly delivered on the night, playing a number of songs we’d specially requested, Reef: Place Your Hands, complete with a couple of lyrics changes so it became first dance material :) Red hot chilli peppers: Can’t Stop, which everybody loved. And not forgetting B52s: Love Shack which our friend and female vocalist got involved with, thank you! The dance floor was full all night, with something for everyone, from grandparents to work colleagues, to friends on space hoppers. We’ve had so many compliments since, so thank you Radio Dukes for your fantastic music! May you have a joyful, gig-filled 2019! X"

"Well what can we say, they have kept our dancefloor full for the past 6 years at our xmas party (if not longer!), they even changed event location with us! Every year the set gets better and better, hence why we haven’t changed the band…. and they are excellent value for money! James and team always ensure that everyone is having a great time and often keep the sets running for longer as there is so much dancing going on. The band are accommodating for the songs that we want playing and ensure there is a good mixture for all attending the evening. They are ever so flexible with the range of DJs we have worked with. They are punctual for set up and sound testing to make sure the night runs smoothly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for any occasion where you want to have a full dance floor. Super!! 10/10!!!"

"Thank you for the excellent music on Saturday. The band were fantastic. I’ve received rave reviews from everyone and the turnout on the dance floor from the outset speaks for itself. Thank you also for the disco, which also went brilliantly. You were a joy to work with throughout. You ensured everything went smoothly and my wishes were catered for, and were totally trustworthy throughout the process from the initial enquiry stage onwards. Thanks a million. Arguably the best night of my life."

"I am happy to confirm that you and your colleagues on the sax, bass and piano indubitably added greatly to the atmosphere of the evening. Lots of the guests commented very enthusiastically on how much they had enjoyed the music. My feeling is that you added warmth, sparkle, and a sense of celebration to the evening, and the range and style of play was perfect to modulate between grabbing people’s attention and providing harmonious background, as appropriate for the stage in the proceedings. I was also appreciative of how flexible you were about the times of taking a break so that there was always music except during the brief interlude for speeches. I was delighted to have found you through [Last Minute Musicians] and would definitely recommend not only you and your colleagues but [Last Minute Musicians] too."

Hi Gillian, Thank you so much for your e-mail, and lovely, kind words of feedback for Rory @ Burgh House, London (Hampstead) on 09/07/2023 It means so much to us that you and your guests both enjoyed the music and were happy with arrangements for the event. I will definitely pass on your kind feedback to the musicians and Ben at [agency] who, I am sure, will be delighted. Ben mentioned Robin Weil’s dad, Stephen, was at the event, so it was wonderful to hear that as well. I sincerely appreciate you getting in touch, and I would like to once again thank you for the opportunity of having us perform in July. I send you my warmest wishes to you and your colleagues and friends, for the year ahead. Gratefully, 🎷 Rory

"I can not thank you enough! The whole process of booking a musician was so easy. Any questions I had were answered immediately and in a very friendly manner. I can not recommend this service enough. I have no idea where to start with feedback on our musician Claudio. He was absolutely amazing! He was such a lovely man from our communications before the wedding and on the wedding day. He was so friendly and approachable. All of the guests have said how lovely he was. Having an accordion player at the wedding is one of the best decisions we made. The music was so happy and fitted the theme of the day perfectly. Claudio played anything that was requested. He was truly amazing with his skill on the accordion. I can not recommend him enough. If I can find any reason at all to book Claudio again, I will be doing it in a heartbeat!"

"We wanted a 1940’s themed group to sing at our 90th anniversary party. The Dulcet Tones were the perfect singing duo. Made the evening perfect and were so friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them for your celebration or event. Absolutely fabulous "

"Hi Micki, I cannot thank you and the band enough. You are all absolutely amazing and you made our wedding day even more perfect. So many of our guests (and even some staff at the venue) said that you are the best band they’ve ever heard at a wedding. I also had so many compliments about how incredible a singer you are. Thank you so much! "

"This band is amazing!!! We hired Radio Dukes for our wedding and they just made the evening reception rock. Their cover of "Happy" by Bruce Springsteen for our first dance was so magical and a perfect moment for myself and my husband. They went on to do two sets which had loads of people up dancing. All through the night our guests would come and tell us how brilliant the band were and ask where we found them as they were that good! At the end of the night they not only did one encore but two! I cannot praise the band enough, from their choice of music to the way they interacted with the guests and performed.They certainly added to our amazing day and made it even more special . Thank you so much for making our wedding day so memorable."

"‘Hi Helen, we just wanted to feedback how amazing we thought the band were when they played at our Post Wedding Party last night. Their version of Elbow’s 'One Day Like This' for our first dance was so special, totally brilliant and we loved it. The rest of the songs throughout the evening were just as great and we loved them all, a great mix of oldies and newbies. We have had so much positive feedback from our guests, from young to old everyone has commented on how great the band was, even the hotel bar staff said how good they were and that they were one of the best bands they had seen. The evening flew by and we just wish they could have played all night too and we would definitely book them again if we get an excuse. Many thanks to all of the band members and to yourself for making the whole process, from start to finish, go so smoothly and for being so helpful and flexible, really nice bunch of guys :)"
