"I first stumbled across Dave one afternoon while walking through Dean Village in Edinburgh. I heard music drifting from under the Dean Bridge and was instantly drawn to it. There he was, playing and singing with such warmth and soul that I stood in awe for quite some time. I took his card that day, never knowing how beautifully our paths would cross again. When my now-husband proposed and we began planning our wedding in Loch Lomond, we knew we wanted Dave to be part of it. He played during our champagne reception, joined by a saxophonist, and created the most magical atmosphere. His infectious smile and genuine warmth shone through his music, captivating not only us but all of our guests. Everyone loved him as much as we did! We’ll treasure those memories forever and know we’ll be inviting him again for future celebrations. Thank you, Dave, for sharing your incredible gift with us."

"Had the pleasure of having this VIP band at our summer party and, seriously, they were the heartbeat of the Soiree! They had an amazing talent for reading the room and tailored the tunes perfectly, taking us all on a trip to Latin America without leaving our backyard. Super professional, too, from setup to the last note. Their song selection? Spot-on and memorable. This band is the real deal, and we're definitely bringing them back for an encore. If you want to amp up your party, they're a gem you'll want to book! Thank you Michael and the rest of you band for making our party so memorable, fun and inspiring!"

"We would like to give big thanks to Rory and the band for their performance at our wedding reception in Cheshire on May 21st this year. The jazz trio were great and enjoyed by everyone, they helped make our evening special - just what we hoped for! Rory was very professional and helpful and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. Please pass our thanks on to Rory. Best regards, Liam and Rachel."

"Mary V & The Party Grooves performed at our wedding at the Beach House, Jersey Island in August and she brought a magical and personal touch to the songs they played. Her smooth, sexy, but unique voice is truly inspirational. Mary is highly professional and very talented."

"Our wedding was perfect and my wife and I owe a huge thank you to Shakers Gold for playing a big part in this. The rendition of the first dance was excellent, as was the whole set. Kept people dancing while not being overpowering and adjusted to late timing changes without difficulty. True pros and superstars.Thank you"

"We hired Rachel to perform at a country themed hen party and she was fab. Everyone enjoyed singing and learning to line dance, Rachel even got the bride up to sing a duet. Rachel is very talented and was super easy to book, with clear information provided beforehand. Will definitely be booking Rachel for the next country themed party that we have! "

"Joanne sang at our wedding reception... with me on guitar. It was a surprise for my wife, and involved much "secret" practice during the preceding weeks! Jo was incredibly accommodating and patient. Her voice is something special, and really brought a new dimension to the songs we played. My new wife, and our families, were blown away. A perfect performance... highly recommended!"

"The Shooglers played at our wedding in May and they were great! They were brilliant at calling the ceilidh dances and Davie (the caller) certainly has the gift of the gab! He encouraged everyone to get up and dance and had people laughing in the process with lines like, 'the next dance is a prize dance... Prise yourselves off your seats and get up to dance! All our guests commented on how good the band was and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them - a great find!"

"Well what can we say! Whiskey & Ginger were absolutely fantastic arrived on time with equipment set up ready for the evening. They sang lots of different songs from old to new keeping the ears of our guests entertained ready for more. was absolutely amazing such a talented band would love to have thwmat another event. The only down side was that the evening seemed to go to fast but as the saying goes time flys when your having fun. Would so love to see them again in the future absolutely fantastic performance what an amazing band."
