"Edina played at my wife's 60th birthday garden party 6th September Edina was amazing not only was her playing brilliant but her presentation and choice of music, much of which was composed by her, created a relaxed and jovial atmosphere very much appreciated by all our guests. We were also further entertained when she played several very intricate and superb guitar duet pieces with Marcos. We thoroughly recommend her."

"Edina was so fantastic! Not only is her playing wonderful but she really helped us to decide what we wanted from her sets. As well as playing at our reception, Edina played a stirring flamenco set during dessert, which get everyone moving and kept the energy up. Friendly, responsive and good fun, Edina received so many wonderful compliments from our friends. Thank you, Edina! "

"I just wanted to send you a quick email to say a very big "Thank You" for the performance at our Dinner & Music Night on 22nd October in Woking to celebrate my wedding to Nashita!! You and the band were brilliant, everyone had a great time and they all keep telling us that the night was so much fun. I personally also want to say that you guys were more entertaining than I could have imagined. The choice of song you picked out for our 'first dance' was excellent as it really is one of my favourite songs! :) Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the band. I hope that we can see you and the band perform again some time in the future. Once again, from myself, Mum and Nashita, thank you for making our night special. - Chandresh Pankhania"

"I met Kiki through a friend who spoke very highly about her. I needed to organise an event for my daughters special 15th birthday (a 15th birthday is the main celebration For a girl in South American culture and its a big family and friends event). Kiki And her band were an essential part at the event and it was a total delightful feeling to listen to her rather than listening to the chaos than the DJ we also hired for the occasion was having. Thanks to Kiki, my daughters party was saved. Not only her captivating voice and her band kept my guests happy but most important, my daughter was fascinated with her and her band. I am only grateful with the whole band specially to Kiki as for her humbleness and charisma able to cheer up anyone that is going through tough times. Kiki, and her band, are part of the greatest vocals I have heard so far. My guests were totally captivated by this band, specially with Kiki."

"Last night at Whighams we had a world music night which was one of the best nights we have ever had. First up Bossa Nova & MPB. For the last few months I have been lucky enough to work with Sergio and Kevin in this trio playing Brazilian music. We met at a jam session organised by Ash Gupta and are playing regularly. For me it is a welcome change and an opportunity to play a different style. Next up we had a fantastic band from Latvia playing a highly melodic jazz funk set which went down really well and was appreciated by the audience. Finally the evening was closed off with a fantastic flamenco set which was just terrific, I knew what Danielo Olivera and his group would do and was sure the Whighams crew would love it and they did! An excellent and very memorable night that I was delighted to be involved with and a highlight of the music program that Kevin and Graeme Knox put together. "

"Tijuca Taxi added a wonderful, tasteful musical presence to our staff summer party. Their musicianship was top notch, they were professional all the way through and I would gladly book them again for a future event."

"Jonny played at our Junior Lawyer Parisian themed ball. Everyone was delighted with Jonny's music and he really made it a special evening. I would highly recommend this talented musician to anyone looking to add a touch of class to an evening or for adding a different touch to an event."

"It was an absolute prvilege to have Caribbean Regals Steelband playing at my 30th birthday party. The music played gave the exact feel and mood at the correct times; laid back and chilled while the meal took place then upbeat for dancing and games afterwards. I also asked for a mini workshop so my guests and myself could experience the steel drums. They are definitely not as easy as I thought. Sofia and Rujaun were so patient with everyone even when we kept getting all the notes wrong. Sofia and her son Rujaun are extremely talented professionals who are incredibly friendly and easy to get along with and have a laugh. Sofia’s communication was fantastic and the booking process was so swift and easy making for a stress-free time. I would recommend Sofia and Rujaun to anyone looking for a truly enjoyable, unforgettable performance and experience. Any time I need a steel band this is the first place I’d go. Absolutely Amazing worth every penny and more. Thank you for making my 30th birthday one to remember always."
