"Gary was a fantastic steel drummer with such a great talent. After searching high and low for a valuable artist to play at my partners 30th surprise carribean themed birthday party, I most definitely made the right choice in booking Gary! He looked and sounded fabulous and was he high light of the night. Great thanks and will deffo book again!"

"After a long search for a Jazz & Swing band for my partner's 50th, I contacted What's New. They were in contact with me immediately and we quickly and easily made the booking. Sam was great with communication and we were able to discuss repertoire etc. They were the perfect band for a birthday party and immensely talented at what they do. If you're looking for an effortlessly cool, contemporary jazz and swing band to entertain and perform beautiful arrangements, this is the band for you."

"Brian played for us and our guests in the evening of our small wedding last month in Callendar and he was just incredible! Very down to earth, professional and arrived early to set everything up which was of course followed by a wee delay from us getting photos done so we where very thankful for his patience waiting about and for still covering the agreed amount of time booked! He covered a great variety of songs old & new and the dance floor was never empty. He even picked up on my daughter’s favourite song and covered this too which made it more personal! Everything was perfect and guests where buzzing! We where that impressed we have him coming back to do our reception party next week 🤣 Thankyou again Brian, looking forward to having you hype us all up again and to help celebrate!"

"We absolutely loved the SW Funk Collective (or Solar Funky Music - not sure what you’re actually called as your website has a different band name to LMM!) at our wedding. Not only did they do all the simple stuff perfectly (i.e. turning up on time and setting up efficiently with minimal invasion) but their performance was also fantastic. A truly cohesive group of talented musicians who not only do the Motown and funk classics of the 70s proud, but also curated a set list based on our preferences and learnt a song not normally in their repertoire because it mean’t something to us. Their performance was energetic and tight, and no effort was spared (including bringing and playing a slide whistle for just one song). I have already recommended them to several friends for their upcoming weddings. "

"We just wanted to say a massive thank you to yourself and the band for Saturday. The band were excellent, got all the guests involved with the music and made the night really special. They were also very friendly and happy to be flexible with the time delays. Thanks again, it was a pleasure working with you throughout and we will be sure to recommend The Elites to anyone who needs a good band."

"After seeing Tim performing at a pub we thought he would be perfect for our wedding day. We contacted him and we were very impressed by the vast repoitour of songs he can offer, we have eclectic tastes and he offered something for everyone. Tim was easy to deal with, set up on the day discreetly and played a great set, we had many compliments on our choice of singer. We highly recommend Tim for any event."

"Myself and Jennie booked Alfie's Hot Hats for our wedding and are we glad that we did! Alfie was exceptionally helpful in the run up, helping to guide us through choosing set lists, arranging DJ sets in between live performances, offering advice as to what would work and what wouldn't and answering a barrage of emails and questions with constructive help and advice. On the day both guys were flexible enough to change plans at very short notice due to inclement weather and arrived in good time to sound check and perform despite confusion over the venue caused by myself. The guys brought full lighting and PA equipment and both they and the room looked fantastic for our guests to arrive. The music itself was superbly performed with both Alfie and Russ interacting with the guests and getting everyone up on the dance floor for the whole evening with a great mix of old and new classics. I'll particularly never forget their Somerset version of 'Mr Brightside'! The guys went the extra mile even cutting breaks short to ensure we got our money's worth due to a late start caused by us. Overall the guys are thoroughly professional, entertaining and generate the sort of atmosphere you would expect from a much larger group. Our guests without exception have commented how good the band was and how much they enjoyed the evening and that was due in a large part to the Hot Hats."

"David performed wonderfully at our black tie dinner at the beginning of October. There was good communication prior to the event and the arrangements all went smoothly. David played a good mix of music and provided us with a great performance to suit the needs and requirements of the event. "
