"Really enjoy having Love For Sale play! We're a lively local pub, and we thought a weekly jazz night would be a great idea to get people in on a Thursday! Love for Sale have been back a couple of times and are really supportive of our new venture! Our locals love them as do we, easy to communicate with, great music lovely people. Thanks Love For Sale!

"We are so happy we chose Astri Strings to play during our wedding ceremony. Not only were they friendly, flexible, and professional from the outset - with an extensive repertoire and willingness to learn new pieces - but they are such a talented duo and really set the scene for our special day"

"How fortunate we were to have Caroline and the delightful ladies from Ariana String Quartet play at our wedding, each one of them possessing impressive musical prowess and with distinguished classical careers in highly reputed orchestras. The planning and coordination of pieces beforehand and on the day was seamless. So during the actual wedding, each previously chosen song was played as an accompaniment to significant moments: such as the entrance of the bride, the signing of the register, the bride and groom walking into the wedding breakfast room. Everything was timed perfectly. Ariana had also learnt a few of the pieces especially for our wedding. In fact their renditions of the contemporary music we had asked for were not only flawless, but fantastic musical pieces in their own right, as diverse as Arctic Monkeys ‘Mardy Bum’, ‘Concerning Hobbits’ from the Lord of the Rings and Bowie’s ‘Life on Mars’. Furthermore, they were easy to recognise and yet the original was transformed into a beautiful string version. Indeed everything they performed for us was unquestionably beautiful, dare-I-say-it, even better than the string renditions on Bridgerton! Classical musical connoisseurs present were mesmerised and intoxicated by every note. As I looked around the room, I witnessed every generation at the wedding enjoying Ariana’s performance. I heard so many positive comments from guests about them too. They delivered a simply captivating soundtrack to a joyous day for us. We cannot recommend them highly enough."

"Massive thank you to Fabrizio who travelled up to Shropshire on Saturday with Cover Web for our Wedfest. You absolutely smashed it! What a set! Cannot thank you enough for stepping into the breach with just one week to go. Lovely guys and superb musicians! Hope to see you play again soon."

"He literally had audience members jaws dropping...transmits an energy to the audience that really connects with everyone. It doesn’t really matter what particular style of music you are into, when you feel the energy of this style of playing you can’t help but be drawn in."

"Wow, what a singer! Lucy was an absolute star, travelling up from London with her guitarist to my party in the Midlands to help me out at short notice, as I was struggling to find an act I liked and was available for my birthday party. What I didn't realise was, not only is she absolutely lovely but she has an amazing voice, great range, a huge variety of songs and she even did me an Elvis number by special request. Her guitarist was a quality act too. I know there are lots of 10/10 ratings on here, but seriously I don't think you could give Lucy any less, if you hire her, she will make your event a special one."

"Gary Trotman of Steelosophical was really excellent. Our charity event was brought to life with the amazing tropical sound that he produced. Everyone there was dancing to the music. Gary made the night!"

"I have listened to Jonathan Vinten with real pleasure over a number of years, playing solo, with his trio and recently with the full six piece band. Whatever the venue, ranging from the humble surroundings of the Tunbridge Wells Jazz Club to Leeds Castle, the Savoy Hotel London or the Grand at Brighton, his sheer quality as a musician stands out, as does the range of his repertoire. You need no telling that he has played with the very best in the business, yet, unlike some jazz musicians who seem to play for their own pleasure, Jonathan always sets out to entertain his audience. The standard of the trio is impressive. I have heard the “big” band only once so far but it was a joy, with a fine balance and extended solos you just had to listen to. I don’t get to hear him and the band often enough and, with my partner and friends, make a New Year resolution to put that right. "

"Thank you so much for everything last week. I would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone. From organising things before (easy to communicate with, quick responses, accommodating) to the main event. We loved it, (which we knew we would) but it was wonderful to have so many guests remark how brilliant Phat 32 were. Overall it was a pleasure to have all the band there, which is important considering you guys were such a massive part of the evening. Then the performance - music and energy perfect for keeping wedding guests of all ages on the dance floor all night!"
