"The Ceilidh was a great success and all our guests had such a good time. Your ‘caller’ was fantastic and really got everyone on their feet and joining in. Thank you again for coming down to Gloucestershire to help make our wedding a very special day." "

"We recently got hitched in the UK and a few of the attending guests and I play in band(s) together. We thought it would be nice to extend the wedding weekend and have a day of live music the day after the wedding. As most of the band live and work overseas, transporting our own PA equipment wasn't feasible so we looked into hiring some gear for the day. Grimshaw Audio was recommended by a friend who works in the music business so I contacted Chris through the website and he quickly replied to confirm he was available and offered some great advice on the equipment we required. He also offered to set up and manage all the technical stuff throughout the day so we didn't need to worry about levels, settings etc. The price seemed very reasonable so we progressed with the booking. Following a phone conversation to firm up the details, it was clear that Chris is extremely knowledgeable about about his work and service; Grimshaw Audio was obviously a passionate hobby as well as a professional business. We were scheduled to start the first set at around 3:00pm on the Sunday; Chris and his colleague arrived at 10:00am to set up! The kit they work with is amazing. The speakers are hand crafted by Chris so he literally knows them inside out. Backed up by a remote tablet mixer, he can stroll the venue and and adjust the levels accordingly via a Bluetooth connection (I guess?). We're an amateur band so having a sound engineer and a quality PA set up was a real novelty for us; despite all our rusty mistakes we've never sounded so clear and bright (in our opinion). All the vocals and instruments, (percussion, bass, keys, guitar) were fed through the same PA so Chris was also able to provide us with a full recording on a USB stick. All in all, I can't recommend this guy enough. A young business with a bright future for sure. I just wish he lived in the Middle East so we could hire him for every gig! "

"This dude is awesome! He added to an already amazing wedding day and even did a last minute request! Couldn't have wished for more. Chris, your recordings don't do you justice. A true judgement of an artist is how you perform live, and Chris nailed it! :-)"

"This quick note to thank you for recommending Mark. He was excellent and everyone appreciated the quality of his music plus the ability to recognise the songs from his repertoire that would get people up and dancing. It was an excellent evening thanks to Mark and I am very pleased to recommend him."

"Kip and his band are brilliant, this is the second time we have booked them and we certainly weren’t disappointed. Super easy to book, with clear communication. Kip and his band managed the combination of small children and tipsy adults extremely well. We loved the special dance for us the bride and groom! All dances were different and fun. Highly recommend 👍🏼 "
