"The VIP Formula are brilliant! We hired them for a birthday party at our house, communication was excellent from the moment of booking. A most professional outfit who made our event a spectacular success. Arriving in good time, they set up without disruption to the proceedings. They are all talented musicians who played a wonderful mix of latin music and popular tunes cleverly adapted into a Cuban style which got everybody dancing. A highly polished yet personalised performance that impressed everyone and we would definitely recommend them."

Dear Duncan, All memories I have from your wife's Birthday Party are fantastic. She played a great African Percussion solo! Hahahaha... That was really fun. Thank you very much again for having us. Best regards, Michael. VIP Formula

"So I’m a little behind in thanking everyone for the most perfect day... especially these amazing humans! Going back 2 years ago when I first saw them; my maid of honour and myself couldn’t stop dancing ! To the day of the wedding when they play “here comes the Diversion” to walk/dance down the aisle too! Everybody at the wedding absolutely loved them! And said how incredibly talented and amazing they were! Plus they are both so charming and really get involved in the party! I even got upset when they said it was time for them to go! Absolutely incredible & amazing guys! And I couldn’t highly recommend you enough! You made our wedding day!!! So thank you!!!"

"We hired Latina Festivale to play at our Summer Ball. They were to play at the beginning of the evening to create the atmosphere and to get everyone in the mood. Fiesta Latina turned up in plenty of time and were nothing but professional. They went above and beyond what they needed to do and were very much appreciated. The music that they played was perfect. It was just the right blend of upbeat and chilled to allowed all party goings to mingle and be heard but also enjoy the music. I would have no issues recommending this band to anyone and using them for future events. Many thanks for all your assistance and please pass on my thanks to the band."

"B & The Hornets band are a vibrant crew of experienced and charismatic musicians with a background ranging from R’n’B to Funk, Latin Jazz and Pop classics. They were exceptionally engaging with the crowd for all their performance; from the early dinner set where it was required to play at a conversational volume level throughout the second part of the night where everyone was feeling the more energetic grooves and melodies while singing along some classic rearranged in a modern and sophisticated style. "

"B & The Hornets played at our wedding. They were excellent. They had a great sound and the lead singer had a lovely voice. They were very flexible with a very wide range of music they were able to play. The band arrived in very good time to make sure they were there well ahead of time and checked out with us beforehand. I would strongly recommend this band. "

"South West Funk were fantastic - they absolutely got the mood and vibe of our wedding, and the dance floor was so busy when they played. They absolutely surpassed our expectations. We are delighted we booked then, and will happily look to rebook for any events."
