"Absolutely fantastic. Naomi played beautifully at our wedding, she travelled to our venue, and played perfectly with a pianist she’d never even met, it sounded amazing, our guests all loved it and commented on how polite and friendly she was. Really would recommend her. Thank-you so much from Mr & Mrs Knight"

"From start to finish it was amazing to work with Ruth. Communication was so simple and she always replied and answered all my questions and I felt positive to the lead up to the wedding that I had chosen the right person. On the day it was like meeting an old friend and she did the most amazing job with our first dance. Ruth and Steph are friendly and fantastic musicians and i’m So pleased they agreed to play at our wedding they made the night entertainment perfect thanks again I highly recommend them."

"Preview: Allan Stewart’s Big Big Variety Show at the King’s Theatre, Edinburgh. It certainly is a small world. Quite extraordinary whom one can meet by chance, when travelling far from home. Ken Scott and I are currently enjoying an epic adventure on board the Silver Shadow cruise ship, circumnavigating South America. On this two month Grand Voyage from Fort Lauderdale,Florida, we sailed via Key West through the Panama Canal south to Ecuador, Peru, Chile, to the other British isles – the Falkland Islands – and north again to Uruguay and then the Parisian-inspired, tango dancing city of Buenos Aires. Joining the ship here as we set sail towards Brazil was a guest entertainer, Sarah Chandler, a charming young British Saxophonist. Her stylish, sassy, show attracted a large audience for her repertoire of jazz classics such as Sway and Stranger on the Shore. While in Rio during the Carnaval weekend, we met Sarah for a chat over cool cocktails on the Pool Deck. 92F in the shade! Her internationally renowned professional career on board cruise ships began around seven years ago. While appearing in a production of Calamity Jane in Margate, she heard by sheer chance that P & O cruises were urgently requiring a Sax player to replace an injured musician. Sarah was soon jetting off from the south of England to Barbados to embark on the Arcadia for a Caribbean voyage. This was the start of a successful career both on land (Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall) and at sea across the globe. (Silversea, P&O, Cunard, Carnival and Holland America). She studied the saxophone, piano, cello, flute and clarinet, graduating from Canterbury University with a Masters in composition and BA in music performance. Performing the alto and soprano sax is her true passion, blending a repertoire of jazz, classical, pop and funk. An exciting and innovative venture has been Sarah’s recent creation of a female Sax band, Saxation. This quirky quartet presents a lively, tightly choreographed show. Although established in 2014, they have already performed on board Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth. The good news is that you don’t have to board a ship to see Saxation on stage. Sarah together with her super sax players, Claire McGarahan, Stacy Docherty and Sophie Burk are appearing in Allan Stewart’s Big Big Variety Show at the King’s Theatre, Edinburgh from 8-11 April. Allan Stewart is perhaps best known to Edinburgh audiences for his brilliant portrayal as Dame in the annual Pantomime over the Festive season. The Variety show will also feature his fellow panto stars, Grant Stott and Andy Gray, comedians, Kev Orkian and Jo Caulfield, the McRoberts Brothers and a classic Big Band. You may wonder why and how Saxation are invited to take part in Allan Stewart’s Variety show. Flash back to 2007 when “little Sarah” was experiencing her debut on the Arcadia; a certain Allan Stewart was on board performing his comedy and music cabaret, in which Sarah was a backing singer. Another serendipitous moment, and they have worked together many times since. Sarah disembarked on the third day in Rio to fly off to Peru to join another cruise ship. But in six weeks or so, she will be heading to Edinburgh with the three other Saxation girls to strut their stuff on the King’s Theatre stage. Having seen Sarah’s solo show on the Silver Shadow, and also the You Tube video of Saxation quartet, this is sure to be a glamorous, sexy, super-Saxy performance. Catch them if you can!"

"We really love our music and Sophia absolutely made our wedding for me and my wife - it was exactly what we were looking for but way more special than we could have imagined hearing her play along with all the dance classics that we love! Every time we speak to someone about the wedding - now even weeks later - the first thing out of their mouth is ‘what about that sax player!!’ It made our Wedding so memorable to us and our friends - something we will never forget! We can’t thank Sophia enough "

"I just wanted to thank you for making our Christmas party go so smoothly. You were professional from the initial booking right through to the evening itself. The music was fantastic and created just the right atmosphere. Should we require something similar in the future I will not hesitate to be in touch."

"Lucinda came last night to our local residents’ association summer street party. She was so friendly and organised. Went straight to the venue, had her own mic etc all set up. She sang a great mixture of pop, musical classics and old favourites. Perfect for a balmy summer’s evening. Everyone loved her and we’d definitely have her back next year. She asked me about the dress code and got it bang on. Highly recommend! Also very good about being in touch re details which is so reassuring when you’re planning a huge event. "

"Dear Valeria, Thank you so much for performing so wonderfully last night. I really meant it when I said that it was beyond perfect and I can’t tell you how very grateful I am to you for helping to make the event so incredibly special and memorable for our guests. It really was such a joy to listen to such a fabulous and professional performance, which was beyond anything I could have hoped for. It was so obvious how much the guests enjoyed listening to you, and I’m so pleased they all wanted to thank you personally afterwards! We run so many events here and they can sometimes all start to blend into one, but last night will always really stand out for be as one of the most special I’ve had the pleasure of working on"

"We attended an Abba night at our local club and have to say it was a fantastic night. People were up dancing from start to finish and chanting for an encore. Highly recommended. Lovely people to talk to and made time at the end to speak to everyone and have photos."

I have booked Vernon and his band (via my agency) and he has not only delighted his audiences, but left lasting impact that guests talk about for years to come. Hard working, talented and assiduous, if you book Vernon and his band today you're in for for a real treat!"
