"Hey just a quick line to say that the Pop Swings were awesome on Saturday and all of our guests remarked on how great they were. It’s a shame that you yourself were not there, but the deputy singer was class. Well done, Pop Swings, you do great work!"

"Just dropping by to say thanks a million for playing at our wedding at the gorgeous Trevenna Barns in Cornwall on the 8th July. The acoustic hour with Clare + Ollie during our wedding reception was incredible ? ????‍?? and the entire evening band were also so, SO brilliant ?? Honestly I just wish you could’ve sang for us forever. You guys are everything. I hope our paths cross again sometime in the future."

"We booked Party Sounds for our wedding reception and they were absolutely fantastic! The boys played a brilliant mix of music which had people of all ages up and dancing which made for a great party. The band learnt a new song for our first dance which meant a lot to us and they put their own great spin on it. Fantastic time had by all and just a really lovely bunch of guys! Thanks, Laura & Stu xx"

"We just wanted to say a massive thank you for being our wedding band! Everyone, and I mean everyone has commented on how amazing you were and how much of a good time they had dancing! Your band created such a fun atmosphere and it was great to see the dancefloor packed all night! Even family members who typically 'never dance' were up dancing! Even a month after the wedding people are still commenting on how good you were and how much they enjoyed the wedding! So thank you all very much for making it such a special night! We were both really impressed at how professional and organised you were, and were were really pleased to hear that the hotel have asked you to be their house band! We are so glad that we booked you and we will definately be recommending you! "

"Jonathan and Julian played beautifully during our wedding reception, and our guests were full of compliments! They were absolutely lovely through the whole planning process and were very accommodating to our last minute requests. I can't recommend them enough; we'll definitely keep their details for any future occasions."

"Hi, Bigtits Steel Band You were great - well received. Guests really loved the vibe you gave as they came from the church. Lots of positive comments. You got the party going. I'm waiting for photos to come back as hope to be able to send on some to you. This might be a few weeks. Very easy to work with. I liked the good communication before the event. Thanks again - but will hopefully send some photos later on. Keep on good work."

"We hired The Blue Suede Shoes for our wedding reception in May. We had already married abroad but wanted to have a larger gathering back in the UK where we could invite everyone. On the day we had about 150 people, from new-born's to a couple of ladies who were 90+. So the entertainment was quite important to get right. We didn't know what we were looking for at first, we knew we wanted live music, but we had to cater for all tastes and ages. The Blue Suede Shoes were the first band that both my (new) wife and I agreed on instantly. Thankfully they were available, even though they are Surrey based they were willing to travel deep into Kent. They have a generous play list to choose from, and even have a 'handbook' on their website with a few hints and tips about booking live music (not just restricted to weddings etc...). Importantly, they were willing to learn a couple of other tracks for us - one was our first dance and another was a Robbie Williams track which is one of my wife's favourites. From the start of the booking process Ben was very informative, clear and helpful at every stage. He was easily contacted and able to offer advice where needed. On the day of the reception the band turned up early and started to set-up without any fuss. We had a family friend DJ-ing in the same area in the evening and by the time I'd come over to greet them they'd already sorted everything out themselves. Our reception was in a marquee outside and the weather alternated between strong sunshine and torrential rain. Even though the band had a set-list, they seemed to be able to play appropriate songs for the moment. Playing 'Ain't no sunshine when she's gone' in the middle of torrential rain made everyone laugh and kept peoples spirits up. The band were also happy to ad-lib a bit for the bridal entrance which was very much appreciated. They were great musicians, willing to interact with the guests and very friendly indeed. We would recommend them without question, not just for a wedding but for any party or gathering that needed live music. They were loud enough to be heard, but not so loud that you had to shout over them. The music was perfect to sit and listen to, but energetic enough for many people to get up and dance or it and tap their feet to. Thanks for helping to make or reception so memorable. Matt & Kim"

"Motion Picture were outstanding at our wedding, they arrived on time and dealt with all the set up so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. They learned our first dance song for us and it was perfect. Both live sets were so good and had everybody dancing. They provided a great playlist between sets and after the last set. Even the venue commented on how full the dance floor was compared to other weddings. Loved them, would definitely recommend! "

"We saw this dynamic duo perform at a summer wedding and we were so wowed by their energy and talent that we booked them for our anniversary/birthday celebrations. Soul Messengers delivered a 2-hour set of classic songs with such fun, panache and sentimentality; we were dancing, singing and taking a trip down memory lane with the songs that marked the decades and our milestones. Azu's vocal range is amazing and Filippo is a master blaster on his guitar! They are polite, affable, very easy to communicate with and they truly put heart and soul into their fantabulous performances. Book this thrilling class act for your event if you enjoy their genre of songs. This accomplished duo will effortlessly jazz up celebrations in a cosy private setting or pull in the crowd for a big event. Whichever it is, they are guaranteed to make forever memories for you & your guests. We know because we've enjoyed their spectacular performances twice! The rapport with their audiences is heart-warmingly real. Thank you for everything. It was a totally stress-free booking and absolutely worth it."

"The band played at our wedding 3 years ago and I’m so pleased they did, they were great, I barely left the dance floor all night to go for a wee! They even accommodated one of our guests doing a bit of impromptu karaoke!"

"Thank you so much for playing the wedding, you guys were absolutely superb and the perfect addition to the day. A special thanks for learning the Nathaniel Rateliff song, I'd thought I was being a bit ambitious in requesting that!"
