"Hi Kirsty, Sorry for the late reply. Last Monday was a mad dash of packing and ferrying people to the airport before going on holiday that evening ourselves so we didn't get a chance to write all our thank you's!! We had a brilliant day and a big thank you, you were great!! Everyone commented on how good you were! Big thanks again!"

"We booked the Astro Jazz Project to play at our garden wedding reception, and we are both so thrilled that we did. The band members were so lovely and accommodating, and the music they played paired perfectly with the chilled atmosphere we were trying to create. We appreciate Ronnie coming by the week of the wedding to show him where they would be performing and general logistics, and when we needed to move their location the day before the wedding this was no problem for them. We have had so many wonderful comments from our wedding guests raving about the trio and how well they played, saying that it brought a real element of class to our event. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the trio for any future events, and will definitely be keeping them in mind for any future events of our own. Thanks again! "

"A big thank you to you and your fellow musicians in the It's No' Reel Scottish Ceilidh Band for making our retirement ceilidh a really memorable night. We were so pleased that we chose you, thanks really to your excellent website. You were thoroughly professional in your approach and from our first e-mail communications we got a sense of reassurance - even although we had never heard you play live. We were also pleased that we chose to have a second fiddle - that gave such a wonderful sound. A friend & I were putting finishing touches to things in the foyer while you were tuning up. You then started to play, we looked at each other, both gave a spontaneous 'thumbs up' and big smiles - we knew then that it was going to be a great night! We know from our friends and family that they all did have a great night and you were the most talked about part of the whole evening. I just wish we could do it all again so we could get more time to sit and listen to your music - it all went by in a bit of a blur for Greg & I. Apart from comments on your professionalism, the quality of your playing and the fact that you got the sound level just right - many people told us how much they enjoyed listening to what you played between the dance tunes. We did not need the disco playlist after all! I just hope that we are able to hear you play live again! Thanks once more to you all, you made our special night even more special. We would recommend you to anyone looking for a band for a special event - we could not have asked for more. Thank goodness you were free on the 27th!!"

"After a postponed 2020 wedding due to Covid, Tim and his team did a fab job in accommodating our constantly-changing plans, and in the end we had the pleasure to have have Kitty Galactic’s acoustic duo, with Kat the lead singer, play at our low-key garden wedding. The singing and acoustic guitar combo was perfect for our guests during reception drinks. Highly recommend and we hope to have the full band play at a full blown anniversary party with dancing in the future. "

"Thank you so much for coming to play at Brimmington Festival. I really enjoyed all the songs - I'll have to come along to one of your gigs soon with my dancing partner this time! We got lots of feedback from people who loved your music - and it made it a really special way to finish off the day to have such a brilliant band playing."

""We really enjoyed Jo’s performance – it was amazing. Everybody enjoyed it immensely. Time passed very quickly and Jo contributed hugely to a successful party! Jo comes across somehow understated but the power of her music talks loudly! We can recommend Jo whole-heartily and would love to see her back when we have a similar occasion ourselves at some point in the future” – Maya Popovic"

"Oh my god , they are amazing. No one left the dance floor and we wanted more. No one wanted the party to end which exactly what we wanted for our special day. Rya the singer was insane and so lovely. I can’t recommend Urban Knights enough. "

"We booked The Ragtag Misfits to entertain guests at our daughter’s Christening party during the summer. We were looking for something different to the usual “disco dj” and also needed to keep both adults and children happy. This eclectic duo brought an almost “festival vibe” to the party and were truly amazing, playing recognisable tunes in their own (I guess you could call it “bohemian”) Rag Tag style. What’s more, they provided a guitar case full of percussion instruments so the little ones could join in, such a wonderful touch. It got too hot on the day of the party and the Rag Tag Misfits moved outdoors for the last hour, something a DJ wouldn’t have been able to do so easily with all the setting up needed. Helly and Andy are professional, reliable and friendly as well as fabulous entertainers. Thank you so much – everyone loved you"

"Over the Christmas period we hired Elliot for a special dinner party we were hosting at our home. It's an annual event and each year we try to do something a little different. Our evening with Elliot proved to be the best we had ever done. Elliot is a very talented singer and piano player. So first and foremost he is great to listen to and to have live music in your home is a real treat. However the thing that made this evening so special was his personality, my guests really liked him. He was able to take request after request, on the night and just play whatever we asked for. So the evening turned into a big sing along , with favourites for our guests and lots of special moments re-lived. I can't recommend Elliot enough as an all round entertainer. We have booked him again. "

"Rob was a really good musician. He played a range of songs as requested and my guests commented how good he was. Communication prior to the event was also great. "

Thank you Lindsay. Your party was amazing in such a great venue. Perfect for the occasion. I’m glad you and your guests enjoyed the night and you had a great birthday.

"We chose Starbound to perform at our wedding because of their wide-ranging repertoire and we were not disappointed. The band were amazing. They arrived on time and set up without any problems and no-one knew that they were setting up on the stage. From beginning to end there were people on the dancefloor. Lots of the guests were asking where we found the Starbound and commented on how great they were. Cant thank you guys enough, such a great performance and a great time had by all. You Can Call Me Al was the biggest crowd-pleaser! "
