Review Centre: Background Music Bands

"We booked a trio (piano, violin and cello) to play upbeat classical and some modern music at my mother's 80th birthday dinner/party in the local pub. Silja and the 2 other musicians were utterly professional from start to finish - both when organising the event and on the actual day. The violin and cello played outside as it was nice weather while guests enjoyed drinks and canapes, and then the piano was added to the mix when we moved indoors for the dinner. Nothing was too much trouble. Silja and co were very accommodating, fitting in with speeches and songs - and even composed and played a family birthday tune that we asked them to play! I would definitely recommend Rigaudon Music for this type of event and would have no hesitation in booking them again! Thank you for helping to make our event so special."

"We loved having Sarah perform here for our first 'Pride Night' since before Covid! She has a great voice and repertoire of songs to choose from, including the ability to request songs via Instagram message that works brilliantly! IF you're after someone to give a nice relaxed vibe whilst enjoying the moment then she's your gal! Certainly looking to book her in again soon!"

"What can I say a consummate professional, from start to finish. Catherine kept me in the loop, she was polite and friendly and knew what we wanted and needed. She engaged with the crowd and made you feel as much or as little involved as you wanted to be. Her voice and musicality was sublime, she played her guitar effortlessly and it sounded beautiful. I kept being asked where I had found my entertainment from all my guests. The dance floor was full and everyone was so happy, Catherine is an act I will keep for future events and I will be recommending her to anyone who needs a quality act."

"We were looking for a musician/singer for a birthday garden party and James P. Anno fit the bill perfectly. His extensive list of soul/jazz/current songs was great and we were able to choose 10-15 songs off his list to play along with others that he played. We also requested a song that was not on his list and James happily learnt the song which was really appreciated and well received. We had two 1 hour sessions with a relaxed feel for the first set and then a more uptempo second set, which is what we had asked for and worked really well for our afternoon/early evening party. James corresponded well, we had a zoom meeting to discuss what we wanted, the atmosphere we were trying to create and he took it all on board. James arrived early to set up, he was polite, friendly and professional throughout and was extremely flexible. James was a huge success with us and our guests, he is a great pianist and singer and there was lots of dancing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend James."

"Dear Anne, Huge thanks to you and the orchestra for last night's concert. My hope was to create something joyous and celebratory - Vivaldi and Handel definitely obliged. Thanks for all your care, support, attention to detail and translation of my expression markings for the players. I was so pleased - reaction and fire. Please would you pass on my best wishes and thanks to everyone for being so brilliant. Thank you, Tony"
