Review Centre: Duos / Small Groups

"Think prohibition, speakeasy , stripped back raw blues , soul searching sadness counter balanced with hope and optimism. Ma Bessie and her Blues Troupe exceeded all expectations with a great narrative and music show at Bridgwater Art Center . Close your eyes and listen to Julia Titus a powerful voice packed with emotion and expression and you were back in the 1920's and 1930's. From performing in tents, speakeasies to Vaudeville to becoming the blues singer of the era . Bessie Smith was a legend . Ma Bessie and the Blues Troupe supported by The Rag and Moan Men are not to be missed!!"

"When my mum passed away I knew I'd need live Irish music at the church and later at the wake. I came across Kindred Spirit duo on this site . They could not have been more perfect. Elaine on vocals and guitar was excellent and Martin on fiddle was outstanding, too. Their music was acoustic in the church when they played Lord of the Dance. It was exactly what I'd hoped for. At the venue they played a great variety of songs, including traditional and more modern, for example, The Corrs. The guests enjoyed their music and many guests took their details to book them for future events. They definitely made my mum's wake extra special - and memorable. Kindred Spirit Duo are friendly, eminently professional and very talented. In addition, they were very sensitive to the occasion. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Elaine and Martin!"

"Well, all I can say is WOW! The talented musicians that came and performed at our wedding at Selby Abbey yesterday left us all speechless with their talent and music. Every piece sounded fantastic and made my day so special. Please would you pass on our thanks to each musician for their stunning performance. I'm only sorry I didn't get to express my thanks personally but was whisked from pillar to post yesterday. Thank you again, it made my day."

"After seeing martin a few times at local pub I knew I had to get him for my sons christening. The past gigs I have attended have been amazing. Not only is martin a talented musician but he also interacts with his audience. Not only is he professional he gives the audience the opportunity to have input into his set giving a good balance. I had asked for a specific song and he did it. He made it his own but didnt hinder the original. Ultimately a top performer an all-rounder entertainer. Thank you again for being awesome look forward to seeing you again. "

"What a superb evening. Good food, wine and friends. Made all the more enjoyable by an extremely talented and professional group. Without exception everyone, as they left, said how great the band was."

"Excellent - we and all our guest thoroughly enjoyed the Black Marc’s, the 2 sets they played was great and they provided music between the sets, we choose this type of entertainment as not a fan of DJ/Disco type entertainment at this type of event. They were very accommodating and even checked what time we wanted them to stay and provide the music up to, thank you both we had a wonderful day. We would recommend the Black Marc’s to anyone young and old??"

"I was looking for a band that would entertain all ages at my 'significant' birthday party and The Full Trunk Trio did just that. They played many old favourites as well as more contemporary numbers and changed the mood and tempo accordingly. The guys were really friendly and engaged the party goers throughout making sure we had the best of times. Many people complimented me on their performance and they can expect some more bookings soon. 5 stars!"
