"We’ve had a good few bands at Bearwood Lakes events over the years, and when it came to my Captain’s Day it was my turn to make the booking! I picked Hopwood 5 and have to say they absolutely smashed it, comfortably the best band we’ve had there!! Great musicians, an up-beat playlist, and a fantastic way to round off a memorable day for me! I have no doubt they’ll be back at some point! Book them, you won’t regret it!"

"I would just like to say that Indigo Charm are the best band ever for a wedding or a party. You couldn't ask for a better band. Shamyra’s voice is amazing. Our first dance was At Last by Etta James and it was simply beautiful. She has a very powerful and emotive voice and is such an amazing performer. She came onto the dance floor a lot and sang to people including my 6-year-old godson who was so excited. The other musicians were quite frankly the best I and my guests (as many came to tell me) had ever seen at a wedding. The guitarist in particular was outstanding. All the band really knew how to get a party going as the energy they poured out into us got everyone, and I do mean everyone including my 94-year-old grandmother who was doing the jive, on the dance floor. We had been worried as half of the guests were French and that they would stay on the sidelines and watch instead of dance. However, I have never seen them go for it on the dancing front and it's all thanks to Indigo Charm! "

"Hi Rory. Just a short note from Richard and I to thank you for your contribution to last night’s party at Hartsbourne. You were fantastic! A real star. The music was everything we could have hoped for and more, we couldn't be happier. It was a great success and I’m sure you’ll get other bookings from it. We know that the Social Chairman is thinking of booking you for the Club nights during the summer. You were great! I have told and will continue to tell as many of our friends as possible about you. Can I take you home with me? With best wishes. Carol."

"We were lucky enough to have Radio Dukes play our wedding reception. We hired the 5 piece band, and can confidently and overwhelmingly recommend them! They were fantastic. Us and our guests were up and dancing straight away, and their great mix of funk, rock and indie was a real crowd pleaser. They were really talented, professional, quick to respond to messages and flexible to our timings. Brilliant!"

"The band - turned up on time but the room wasn't ready for them and so had some time restraints to get set up and ready. They were very professional and pleasant. We had some great feedback from our guests on their set list as well as overall sound and look. We would highly recommend them to anyone for any occasion (I'm getting married in October and if I hadn't already booked a band After Dark would be my first choice!"

"We just want to say a massive thank you to the band. You guys were brilliant and everyone said how amazing you were. We certainly hope to have the opportunity to use you guys again, maybe my 40th in a couple of years!"

"We recently had The Fortes perform at our Wedding. WOW, what an amazing band! Although certain restrictions were in place, James and the band made it so special. On the night we decided we wanted the band to just do one long set rather than two which was no trouble for them, thank you for accommodating our wishes. They played a whole mix of amazing songs that everyone loved from start to finish, from Queen to The Killers. Guests were entertained and commenting so positively on our choice of band. The DJ hand all requests asked and kept the "dance floor" (thanks covid) moving all night with some amazing mixing. To conclude, we really couldn't have asked for a nicer set of people to be part of our Wedding, the service from start to finish was second to none and we had nothing to worry about, James even kept our spirits high throughout all the uncertainty Covid brought to our Wedding. 100% recommended you won't be in the slightest bit disappointed."

"Hired the band for my 60th Birthday party in March 2023 and they didn't disappoint! Their song list is great, they're all super talented and they had the dance floor full all night!"

"Honestly Brad and Simon were amazing. They played absolute bangers and every single person had a proper boogie. They were friendly, professional and took all my song requests on board. Both super talented and we are so grateful. Every single guest commented on how great the music was. Thank you again Brad and Simon!"

"A great band and great music for my 90th birthday. Party guests commented how good they were, great music and a lovely singer. During a two hour session, it was a pleasure listening to them."
