"George was absolutely the star of the show, keeping things going smoothly in the background. He put in a lot of work and we couldn’t have had the musical night we did without him. Shout out to Cam too for helping! Will definitely be in touch again and I highly recommend. Cheers southside sounds."

"This was my first time using Chris and it was for a musical theatre production of 'Godspell' at the Hasland Theatre. Chris came recommended by a friend of mine (Adam Parrish) after he did the sound engineering for a concert Adam had recently done with Gordon Giltrap. Well what can I say - Chris did an amazing job! He came along for a preliminary meeting with me where we looked around the venue, talked about the requirements for the show which included a live 4 piece band and 10 wireless headset radio mics. Chris then gave a full explanation of what equipment he thought was required to make a great sound within the venue, how much time he would have to dedicate to the project and from that came up with a quote for us. We confirmed it all over email and then it was just a matter of waiting for show week to roll around. This came at the end of March and Chris arrived with all the equipment he needed and got set up ready to go. It was great that the equipment he had was all digital and took up a very small amount of space and that he was able to control it all from his iPad at the back of the theatre, since there was literally no room for him to be anywhere else. Several of the band members commented on how great it was that Chris asked them before every show about their individual monitor mixes, if anything needed changing, if Chris needed to be aware of any issues from previous nights etc and are still talking about it now as something like that which seems really obvious and simple makes a huge difference to those playing and performing. Nothing was too much trouble for Chris even when I had to ask for some additional monitors to be placed on the stage as the actors were struggling to hear the musicians he just turned up with speaker stands and monitors and got them plugged in and ready for the following nights performance. Amazing! It is also important to note Chris's attitude throughout the entire process. Putting on a musical is an exceedingly stressful thing to do and I was having to think about a lot of things throughout the run, but Chris remained calm, level-headed and had a very calming presence which was commented on by several cast members and others within the creative team, which is just what you want in a high stress environment. He was great to work with and lots of laughs were had throughout the week amongst the whole team who he worked well with. A very quick and speedy break down and get out on the Saturday night wrapped everything up nicely. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into making our show sound amazing and we really cannot wait to be working with you again hopefully in the very near future."

"Just want to say a huge thank you from both Taha and me. You truly made our wedding magical and gave it such an elegant touch. Everybody absolutely loved both the harp and violin during the Nikkah ceremony. I am so glad that we were able to have it outdoors and you made it a dream! Thank you once again for everything over the past couple of months and for being very accommodating. I am so glad that I booked both the string quartet and harp and violin duet for the wedding. I will definitely be in touch for my siblings’ weddings in the future. Wishing you all the success in the world! You truly deserve it."

"I had the pleasure of working with Hugh and Nathan for a 50th Birthday celebration in Chester recently, I cannot express enough how impressed I was with their talent and professionalism. From the moment they stepped into the venue, it was clear that they were committed to creating an incredible atmosphere and ensuring that everyone had a fantastic time. First and foremost, their music selection was absolutely on point. They seamlessly mixed various genres and eras, keeping the dance floor packed and energized throughout the night. Their ability to read the crowd and adjust the music accordingly was truly remarkable. It felt like they had an intuitive sense of what would get everyone moving and grooving, and they delivered it flawlessly. Not only was the music outstanding, but the DJ's technical skills were also top-notch. The transitions between songs were smooth and seamless, creating a continuous flow of energy that kept the party going. Their mastery of beatmatching and mixing was evident, and it elevated the entire experience to a whole new level. The sound quality was fantastic, and they had a great understanding of how to adjust the volume and EQ to suit the venue and the crowd. Beyond their musical talents, Hugh and Nathan are true professionals. They arrived early to set up their equipment and made sure everything was in perfect order. Throughout the event, they maintained a positive and friendly attitude, interacting with the guests and taking requests with enthusiasm. Their ability to connect with the crowd and create a fun and engaging atmosphere was remarkable. If you're looking for a DJ’s who can truly transform your event into an unforgettable experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Hugh and Nathan. They are an absolute gem in the industry and will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on you and your guests"

"Amazing DJ, Singers and Sax. What a night! It kept our guests on the dance floor and there was something for everyone with two sets. James listened to everything we asked for and nailed the timings for our first dance and getting everyone to the dance floor right on que. He had prepared all the playlists for our night and switched things up whenever we wanted anything different. They were all so professional but at the same time it felt like we just had some awesome friends singing, dancing and jamming the sax and DJ with us. I think some of our guests were a little curious when we said we weren't having a typical wedding band but all the amazing comments we got at the end of the night made clear we made the right decision. We are planning when we can book them next. Thanks so much guys. You were amazing! "

"David - First, we just wanted to thank you for the incredible job you did at our wedding last weekend. The dance floor was packed and electric - that was all due to you. Hopefully, we/our guests brought enough energy to make it fun for you.  I also want to personally thank you for following the direction we gave you. I've heard so many stories of people telling DJs what they want, only to have them do their own thing. You followed exactly what we wanted and executed at an unbelievable level. You made our wedding both special and memorable!"

"Hadn't used a sound engineer before and found Chris offered a great service. I chose him because he was local, had excellent references and was reasonably priced. He responded quickly to my initial enquiry and confirmed the booking, contacted me to confirm details a couple of days before and arrived well in advance of the event to set up and test his equipment. The event was a corporate lunch in a restaurant which involved pre-recorded music for a dance troupe and microphone facilities for the guest speaker. The room was an unusual shape with low ceilings and large support pillars. Despite a fairly noisy audience of about 140 people, the equipment did its job without any hitches and Chris was on hand throughout the afternoon. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again."

"Hands down one of the best DJ’s as well as the nicest guy! DJ Kyle has it all and we couldn’t have been happier with his set at our wedding - it topped off the day in absolute style! From our first communication DJ Kyle understood exactly what we needed, and worked with us to deliver a set that was everything we wanted and more. All while having the nicest and warmest attitude, he’s easy to work with and a joy to be around. Would highly recommend for any occasion, stop what you’re doing and book DJ Kyle now!"

"We booked Phil for our wedding as we didn't want a full band and oh my goodness - it was bloody spectacular! From start to finish, Phil was nothing short of exceptional. He listened to the type of music we wanted and curated a playlist just for us. We had a "dramatic entrance" to our wedding breakfast, which Phil led us into whilst playing sax, and it was SO FUN, all the guests commented on how cool and different it was. Phil ensured to play a variety of different music to entice people onto the dance floor, which allowed people of all ages to enjoy the party. We would absolutely recommend Phil to anyone looking to book something a bit different - you won't be disappointed!"
