"We had an amazing evening and you guys were fantastic! The band really delivered - you did an amazing job at rallying the crowd and played some belters to keep the dancefloor busy the whole night! We especially appreciated you taking requests from the guests and got some really positive feedback from them afterwards about you all. A few highlights included The Killers - Mr. Brightside which we reminisced with grins on our faces whilst on our honeymoon at a dive bar in Las Vegas where pictures of the band adorned the walls and the song came over the speakers; James - Sit Down which really got the guests involved; and finishing with Neil Diamond - one of my all-time favourites! You were brilliant too in the build up - with great communication and going above and beyond to make the process as stress free as possible. Thank you again for being a part of, and making what was an amazing day! Ben & Georgia "

"I cannot say thank you enough to Ian and the whole band. We booked them for our wedding party after our elopement and from the very first communication, it has been a pleasure. We booked around a year before our party and I very much felt we were looked after from the beginning. On the day itself, Ian was a dream. He just took me under his wing and did everything he could to reassure us and also to make sure we had a lovely time! It was perfect. All of our guests complimented the band and have had a couple of people ask for details for their parties. We had guests as young as 2yrs old, up to 70s and there was something for everyone. Ian’s interaction with the kids was brilliant and the guests generally. It felt like we were partying with friends. Great selection of songs and the live sets were really good! Wish the night didn’t have to end. Now I need another excuse for a big party! Thank you The Fireflies!! X"

"We had a joint 50th & 80th birthday party. Black Velvet were fantastic. Great musicians and made the Barn dance run smoothly. We had ages from 5 to 80 and they tailored everything perfectly. Made it a birthday to remember."

"What a fantastic way to celebrate New Years Eve and welcome our guests into 2017!! The band exceeded our expectations on all levels, they were a delight to have for the evening and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had to adjust the timings of their sets on the evening and they did this with complete ease and worked around us. The variation of music was great and covered all avenues pleasing a real selection of guests we had in house. Grace, the singer, has a beautiful, strong, unique voice which was complemented by the talented musicians in the rest of the band. We will certainly be using them again in the future. Thank you The Fused!! We will most certainly be in touch again if another event comes up this year!"

"We recently had Phat 32 play at our wedding. It literally made the day! We saw them perform a few times before booking them and knew we had to have them. We have had soooo many comments on how fantastic they are as well as being the highlight of our wedding. They also rehearsed and performed a song for us that we requested to have as our first dance which was the coolest thing ever. They will literally have you up on your feet dancing all night long. Amazing!"

"I just wanted to say a big thank you for yesterday. Everyone said how lovely the music was, it was a lovely addition to the day. I appreciate you had very little input from us in terms of what music to play but we thought you got the tone of the day absolutely right."

"We booked Amplified based on a recommendation from a friend - and they were one of the highlights of our wedding weekend! Rhona and the band were very easy to work with during the planning process, which included organising the band's travel and equipment hire in France, and setup of several locations. Our guests were entertained throughout the day and night with several different styles and a large repertoire. Amplified were friendly, professional and we would highly recommend them to everyone!!

"Polina plumbs energy from the same archetypical sources that make blues and flamenco singing so powerful."

"The band were super professional organising everything, replying to any questions incredibly quickly and making sure it was a stress free experience. We'd certainly recommend The Speakeasy Jazz Band for anyone seeking the full vintage experience."

"Your stamina was astounding and you won the crowd over within the first couple songs. The band’s playful spirit and riotous tunes were too much for even the most reserved punters to resist and before long the whole room was a kaleidoscope of joyous dancing movement."

"I have been to a number of events and fundraising nights with The Shakesters and have always had a fantastic night. Therefore, when we started to arrange a fundraising night for our school it was an easy choice. That was in 2015, and last Friday we had our second annual fundraising evening with The Shakesters. What a brilliant night, the band are fantastic. Friendly, fun, professional and absolutely brilliant at what they do best. Yep, getting lots and lots of people up on the dancefloor all night and giving everyone a brilliant night. The songs were all real crowd pleasers and the band helped to create such a great atmosphere. I cannot recommend them highly enough and we are arranging next years event already!! Very much looking forward to having The Shakesters there to rock the night away. So, many thanks!"

"Many thanks to you and your fellow band members for providing, yet again, another great evening of live music. The dance floor was always filled from the first number as always. Many thanks for supporting the ball over several years! "
