"We had the pleasure of seeing 21c a while ago, and as soon as we booked our wedding, we knew we had to have you! From the first point of contact, until the very last moment of our wedding reception, you were all so supportive, helpful and professional. Your sound and timing was perfect and the dance floor was packed all night, with all our friends and family absolutely loving the music. I can't tell you how many people complimented you all, the song choices, the timing, the depth of sound. We had the most amazing evening thanks to you all, and I would recommend you to anyone looking for a top class band for any event. We also booked your DJ to play in breaks and before and after the band's sets, and he was faultless, ending our night with people dancing until the speakers went silent. My only insistence for our wedding plans, had been to have a live band, specifically 21c, and you helped us achieve the wedding day we longed for. I can't thank you all enough. We wish you every success and prosperity!"

"Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! A real jewel of a Ceilidh Band. Magnificent musicians and fantastic calling that got just about every one one their feet. You will not be disappointed, do not hesitate to book, they are the best. "

"I booked the 6 piece band and DJ for my fathers 60th, I looked at many bands and struggled for choice. It just so happened a friend of mine had seen The Marvellous Motown Souls at a wedding. This prompted me to book and im so glad we did. Liz was professional from the start and not a detail was missed. On the evening Liz basically coordinated the evening. Making announcements and making the party flow smoothly. Our son and daughter wanted a go on the drums which was no problem and they played the tambourine too, having loads of fun. The DJ (James) was always happy for requests and made sure nothing was missed. We met beforehand and James asked if there is any music we like, we requested older music and then more dance songs to end the evening. We were handed glow sticks and the band finished with their 90s medley, then the DJ took over and carried on with a dance set which was brilliant. This band goes far beyond just playing some music. What a great set of people to have as part of your party. 110% recommended, you will not be disappointed."

"I've seen Mike play a couple of times and he never disappoints. Love his spontaneity and the way he interacts with his audience playing anything requested. "

"Thank you for making our wedding day perfect. The duo performed amazing unplugged versions of our favorite party tunes and everyone was singing along at the wedding breakfast. I wish we’d have booked them for the rest of the evening too. Absolute class entertainment and musicianship. "

"We booked The Hot Hats for my husband’s 50th garden party and they were absolutely fantastic. The music was perfect for the occasion, and the last set in the kitchen with us all was so much fun. It created such a brilliant atmosphere and so many memories. Thank you both for making the celebration truly special."

"Brilliant gig at Live Lounge tonight guys. Thanks for letting me join you on stage to take some fantastic photos! I'm thankful you were happy for me to be there along side you and I appreciate that massively, as you gave me the opportunity to practice my craft, whilst having the pleasure of watching you perform live.

"Hi Juan Carlos. Thank you so very much for the wonderful music you played at my party on Saturday. We had lots of comments from people saying how much they enjoyed listening to it and loved the rhythms of the music. It was all so in keeping with my 'Spanish/Latin' theme and it was exactly what I had hoped for for my party. I really enjoyed dancing and so did my little grandson...he always puts on a good show!! I really appreciated your flexibility, as I had to change things to accommodate taking photographs during your break, which I hadn't thought about until someone suggested it on the day, so that we then had the cake and bubbly after you finished. It is such a rarity to get all the family together like that that we couldn't let the opportunity for some group photos pass by! We very much enjoyed meeting you....you are three lovely guys and you made everything so easy for me which was much appreciated as it is stressful organising such an event. I would be very happy to recommend you to anyone thinking of using you as I know they would as delighted as I was. Please give my regards to your band mates and I wish all of you all the very best. Linda "

"How can I praise Tom high enough. We booked him for our daughter Jessicas wedding and she asked him to do a special mix for her first dance with Calum, which was unique and very appropriate to the happy couple. From that moment onwards he had everyone on the dance floor, from young to old. What a great evening. He is an extremely talented singer and I would recommend him highly for any special occasion. "

"The band was so great, and loads of our guests commented how awesome they were too. All through the booking process, Martin kept in touch and listened to everything we were asking for and the band absolutely delivered! We were so happy and can't recommend then highly enough! "

"The Sessions are brilliant! From the initial booking, to the pre-wedding correspondence regarding our set list preferences, to their friendliness and then finally through to their actual performance at our wedding….they were AMAZING!!! Booking a band based on a couple of studio demos on a website was a daunting experience for us but we needn’t have been worried at all. The Sessions are absolutely fantastic! Totally overwhelmed with how great they were and had a packed dance floor for our entire evening reception. Our guests all commented on how great the band was! Despite being quite a late booking, the band members learnt a song for me, not our first dance but a song my Dad loves….he was truly stoked, as was I! Thanks so much for a brilliant performance. Five very big stars for you!"

"We hired Fraser and The Cheers to play at our wedding in Dorking at the end of April. They were absolutely fantastic right the way through from the communication and preparation during the run up of the wedding to their actual performance on the day, we couldn't have been more impressed. Their professionalism was second to none and they were so helpful in devising playlists, which they then played in three sets throughout the night. The music was brilliant and meant that even the most reluctant dancers were boogieing away all night! The Cheers even learnt and played our first dance song for us, which was lovely! We can't thank them enough for making the evening of our wedding so memorable! Becky and Matt Kiernan"

"We can’t thank Groove Allstars enough for their professional approach and outstanding performance at our wedding in the Wylam Brewery. We booked the 8 piece band (male and female singers plus brass) and they literally had the whole wedding dancing all night. They were very accommodating with learning our first dance and also let us select a load of songs off their repertoire to work into their current set list. Can’t recommend these guys enough!! "
