Review Centre: World Music Ensembles

"We booked Mozzle Brocha through the LMMwebsite, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was fantastic throughout, and Mariana was supportive, thoughtful, and generous with ideas, including advice around timings and how best to shape the event. The music itself was outstanding. These are extremely talented, high-end musicians with a real mastery of klezmer. They were not just any old klezmer band, although we would have been happy with that. This was not background music. Everything was irresistibly danceable, with rich, confident musicianship, fantastic sound quality, and a set that completely held the room. The lyrics and Yiddish were beautiful and authentic, adding real depth and meaning to the performance. They went the extra mile by learning an additional song especially for us, which meant a great deal and was hugely appreciated. What really stood out was how the music brought everyone together. Older people left genuinely happy, reminded of songs from their childhood. Teenagers, who we half-expected to hang back or drift outside, threw themselves in completely. They joined in, learned new dances as they were being shown, and then freestyled alongside everyone else. It became a joyful, intergenerational celebration. Mozzle Brocha handled all their own set-up, advised clearly on timings, and led the event with confidence and ease. Everything ran smoothly, with no issues at all. Our only regret was that the venue had a strict time limit because another event followed. Otherwise, we would have been calling for encores. The music was just that good. We had so many compliments afterwards, and they truly made our day. We cannot wait for another family occasion as an excuse to book them again. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it, and you would not regret booking them."

"Edina was so fantastic! Not only is her playing wonderful but she really helped us to decide what we wanted from her sets. As well as playing at our reception, Edina played a stirring flamenco set during dessert, which get everyone moving and kept the energy up. Friendly, responsive and good fun, Edina received so many wonderful compliments from our friends. Thank you, Edina! "

"The Oysland band and dance caller was an absolutely brilliant opening to our wedding party. They got nearly everyone on their feet twirling round the room and everyone else clapping and stamping their feet. It really helped build a feeling of community and warmth that lasted the whole night. I would highly recommend Oysland they were easy to work with, accommodating, reliable and great fun to have around. If you want accessible Klezmer with a modern twist Oysland are for you!"

"The Mellow Martinis were a delight to work with for our Great Gatsby Ball. You were all professional, talented and a joy to work with! All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the music and the atmosphere that you created was elegant, sophisticated and perfect for our event. I hope we can work together again in the future!"

"Jonny and his band played for us at our wedding in November 2018. From the first point of contacting him and booking he was very professional and friendly. When you're organizing a wedding you really appreciate bookings that are no-fuss and Jonny was definitely that. So many of our guests on the day gave compliments about the bands playing. They started playing when we left the ceremony room and it sounded fantastic. They played a mixture of genres but mostly French cafe style, mixed in with some old classics; it added to a great atmosphere. We would definitely recommend The Jonny Kerry Quartet! "

"The Blaggers were absolutely brilliant and exactly what we were after. This was a big corporate party for a young audience and they were fun and a modern take on a ceilidh band. I highly recommend them for any event as they would be great regardless of audience."

"A huge thank you to the band and Ollie for a brilliant night Saturday. Everyone loved it and had a blast. The feedback from folk has been amazing. Lots of laughter and fun had by all. I haven't danced or laughed so much in ages. A great success and would highly recommend F.O.B. Ceilidh Band for a celebration or event."
