"We had Emily perform alongside us on the West End Bhangra Musical Tour 2019. Emily learned all the songs expected of her to the highest standard and it was an absolute pleasure working with her and we will most definitely be working with Emily in the future."

"Hi Shama I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to you and the band. Having you guys at our Diwali event last week made it extra special and the students thought you guys were fantastic. I have received lots of positive feedback and I would recommend you guys without reservations. Thank you once again."

"For reasons outside of our control, the wedding ceremony began a bit later than scheduled! Richard did an amazing job of filling in the time and keeping everyone entertained with splendid renditions of famous classical pieces. Everyone was throughly impressed with his playing."

"Alina is a young musician well placed to keep the flame burning by dint with a considerable skill and sensitivity as a player of the harp, a beautiful yet ungainly instrument still sorely under-represented in jazz."

"Rachael was absolutely fantastic, she wore colours that matched our colour scheme which I thought was a lovely little touch but she is so talented and we would recommend her to anybody. It was all organised very well and so had no concerns in that area. :-) we were so happy with all aspects of the service provided by yourselves and Rachael."

"We had our hindu wedding ceremony on August 13th, 2021, I was looking for a modern take on traditional Indian instrumental music as I didn't want the typical shehnai recorded sound playing on repeat in the background. I found Sandeep and his team through an agency online. The agency was helpful and put me in contact with Sandeep when I had questions regarding the music. Once speaking to Sandeep, I found him to be really helpful, knowledgeable, and highly professional. I had a few questions about the music as I had a song I wanted for my bridal entrance that was not on their playlist. Sandeep kindly reassured me that the song I had wanted would not be a problem for them to learn and they would be able to play it on the day, at this point I think there was 2 weeks before our wedding. Our wedding morning was bit of a shambles due to unforeseen circumstances, so we were running very behind with the timings of the day, the band continued to play and helped create a relaxed and intimate atmosphere and kept our guests distracted. They even stayed a little longer than planned as they could see how stressed we were, we are very grateful for this as we got the traditional music in the background of our ceremony. I am, to this day, really happy that we booked with Sandeep. They played beautifully, and we are still receiving compliments for the music. We have had friends reach out and ask for the band details. I'm just sad that I didn't get to personally enjoy the music more on our big day (due to wedding chaos), but we did get to hear them play again last year at a friend's wedding were we sat back and took in the atmosphere they created with their amazing music. I highly recommend booking with Sandeep they bring a beautiful modern twist to classical Indian music, which can be enjoyed by everyone. "

"The musician was really talented however did not play the music requested so killed the entire vibe of the party. It was a party and we requested upbeat music alongside DJ but she used her own speaker and mellowed tunes... everyone obviously left the dance floor at this point and had to remind her of the request. She struggled with our requirements despite us being very specific on booking and even noted specific times on contract booking, did not fulfil contract and waste of £550"

Dear Hayley Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent event. I take all reviews seriously, as they help me improve my services, and I appreciate the opportunity to address some inaccuracies in your comments. The full fee you paid was £459, I understand that you felt the music selection did not align with the upbeat atmosphere you envisioned. However, I want to clarify that I arrived well-prepared with a curated playlist that included the specific tracks you requested, such as "Rebel Music" and "Ibiza Classics." Additionally, during our initial conversation, I offered to incorporate lively pop songs like "Havana," "Rather Be," and "Cheerleader" to enhance the party vibe. I left out your request to play Andrew Lloyd Webber/Starlight Express as I felt it didn’t align with the style of your event. Regarding the DJ sound levels, these were extremely loud throughout. I strive to maintain an enjoyable volume throughout my performances. While you noted that the dance floor, it was empty upon my arrival and throughout the ibiza classics with DJ last 30 minute set. I appreciated the positive feedback from many guests which indicates we’re enjoying my performances. As the event progressed, I was attentive to your requests, including the unexpected addition of a dhol drummer for the second set. I performed the "Morni" provided the Bollywood track to the DJ and performed alongside the DJ and which successfully energised the dance floor. I also addressed the issue with my electric violin volume being turned down by DJ immediately after he received feedback from guest complaining he couldn’t hear it! The booking was to perform 3x 30 minute sets I stayed on the dance floor except two 15 minute breaks and performed throughout the 2 hour duration. I made repeated requests to the DJ to play "Ibiza Classics," in line with your preferences, and I took swift action to address all requests throughout the night. The DJ consistently played track’s that were impossible for a violinist to play over such as Milkshake by Kelis. My goal is always to create memorable experiences for my clients, and I have consistently received positive feedback for over 20 years !
