Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"Woooo, Shama and the 515 crew, what a fantastic group of musicians and entertainers. Shama and the crew turned our Mehfil night into a storm. Every conversation about the party with our friends has started with comments about Shama and the band. The comments range from ‘…her voice is like an instrument…’, ‘…the band can play, man…’, ‘…I’m converted to Hindi music…’, ‘…the signers got the most amazing voices…’, ‘…these guys are craftsmen…’, ‘…the young guy on the left - so cute..’ and… From the first conversation when I was making enquiries about dates to the day after the event you are dealing with a warm, professional artists that brings clarity to all the big stuff and the fine details. We appreciated a whole bunch of free advice from Shama before the event and the odd email every so often to ensure everything was on track. On the day the best thing we did was relax and leave the music in the hands of the pros – this what they do. They controlled the tempo, the songs and had the guests captivated from the get go. Apart from playing the expected Bollywood and Punjabi tunes that got everyone swaying and dancing and they even squeezed a Bob Marley tune or two. It’s a pleasure to meet and hear folks like this."

"Caroline and Luke were absolutely outstanding on the day playing everything we requested. All our guests were complimentary of the string duo on our wedding day. Caroline was extremely responsive to communication. It was clear to see Caroline and Luke are really passionate about playing and love what they do. Thank you for playing for Rupal and I on our wedding day Caroline and Luke, you were both amazing and will always recommend you both. 3rd April 2018"

"I saw these guys at a public event, I must say it was good to see some real country licks and sounds! Really liked them, authentic and if you like the more traditional foot tapping stuff, you will love these! Although they did actually play some Post Malone and Morgan Wallen"

"Really nice bunch of old guys. Our guests loved Below the Border and I’m still getting texts from friends saying how much they enjoyed our party. The band played the soundtrack of our youth and they are so good. Wonderful to see everybody dancing to Born to be Wild like they were 16 again. Brilliant value for money. They certainly give you a lot of bang for your buck. We will be looking out for them in London and hope to see them again soon. Tom and Patty Harrison."

"What a fantastic night! This band absolutely smashed it! Great tunes, great musicians, great bunch of guys - so professional. Elevated the night from good to amazing, everyone was on the dance floor - we will be doing it all over again. Looking forward to booking them for our 30th anniversary at the end of the year. Thanks boys, you were magnificent!"

"A lovely summers night in Worcestershire saw the band play some super tunes. It was a great way to spend a Saturday night as they kept everyone glued to the dance-floor. Excellent stuff. Thank you for making it such a fun evening."

"Me and my friends had an amazing night with Vintage Voltage at Paper Dress vintage last week! From the room being designed to the setlist, everything seemed like we were back in the 70's! Old Tvs and everything! I would come back without any hesitation! Thanks again for that beautiful night! What a gig."

"Very many thanks to you and W4S. Absolutely everyone has said how good you are (in the most glowing of terms) – and we mean absolutely everyone. We expected everyone to be a bit jaded by the end of the night. Especially after going since 11 in the morning. But to have everyone up dancing all evening and still shouting for more when we had to close was brilliant. Please can you pass on our thanks to the rest of the band including your DJ. Best regards, Dawn and Bob, Bride and Groom, Marquee Wedding, Kingswood, July 2015."

"Wow! Katy and the rest of the Souls team are absolutely amazing! They played at our wedding back in April and blew the entire family away. It wasn't a massive wedding and my family are not all the type to get up and boogie, but the talent of the band had them up dancing. Katy was very helpful in the lead up and throughout the evening, I would definitely recommend them to anyone! We will be down to a gig in the future to come and have another dance with you guys. Thank you so much from both my husband and myself. "

"Pipe Major Patrick was great. He arrived early, was perfectly happy to get ready and practice until the published start time. His playing ideally formed a musical backdrop to our beacon ceremony and was clearly much enjoyed by the village audience. Patrick followed the instructions around interludes and fireworks without any problem at all. We feel a Burn's Night coming on."
