Review Centre: World Music Ensembles

"Our daughter got married last year, and we asked Sandeep to play Sitar, Sareengi, and Tabla for the reception party. We are very pleased with Sandeep and his team. They arrived at the venue on time and played traditional and contemporary music on their Sitar, Sareengi, and Tabla. All our guests, old and young, were mesmerized by their music. The whole team was very courteous, polite, and well-mannered. We are especially pleased as this wedding was originally planned for 2021 and we booked Sandeep for August 2021. But with the pandemic, we had to move the date and year from 2021 to 2022, and Sandeep kept the new date available for us. He kept in touch with us during the pandemic. We recommend Sandeep and his team for any function and wish them all success with their music."

"Absolutely perfect band for our tropical themed party! They created an amazing atmosphere where people could chat and dance (and even limbo). The guests were fascinated by the drums and Bethany was so good, taking the time to explain how they worked to my interested toddler (and uncle). Couldn't be happier with the band, they made the day so special! Highly recommended, thanks so much zzz"

Thank you all again"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Edina to create a very special marriage proposal to my now fiancee. I am from the United States and it was a bit daunting to find a professional musician that could carry out my vision and communicate with me from over the pond! Edina was great from the first email, courteous and timely in reponse. She learned 3 new songs to perform for us and the vocalist that worked with her (Hettie) was great too. She also took special requests for a recording of the songs and champagne for us to toast. Edina and Hettie sat in the cold and waited for us to arrive at the proposal spot! And the performance was lovely, made us laugh and cry, and made the greatest moment completely surreal. I recommend working with Edina, she is a pleasure. "

"Edina was a fantastic addition to our recent funeral and wake event. She had the sensitivity to play some really touching music during the funeral service but also played almost continuously at our wake event in our home, which made it really very special. Edina is very talented and even learnt a new song for us for the service in honor of our late Father. Obviously this was a sensitive event and we were keen to ensure complete integrity with our choice in musician and Edina didnt fail to impress. We had so many positive comments throughout the wake on Edina's guitar playing. She was a pleasant and talented addition to our event and I would highly recommend her for any type of event to be honest. Edina is the type of musician and person who could adapt to any situation for you. Good luck with your music career Edina! x"

"We booked MVS Steel Band Duo to play at our Notting Hill Carnival theme bank holiday at Revolucion de Cuba Derby. They were incredibly professional and punctual. Our customers and guests loved the band and it has definitely made our event extra special to have them. Next time we require a steel band we will not hesitate in booking them again. Thanks once more. "

"The band brought a very different and unusual style to our event. Hugely talented and an absolute delight to watch and listen to. His playing is mesmerising and I would highly recommend The Jonny Kerry Quartet."

"In addition, prior to the event, you gave me some amazing DJ music during the welcome cocktails and prior to the main music section after lunch. These little things make such a difference and show what a lovely and caring man you are, Rory, as well as being very professional."

"We had a fabulous evening being entertained by Gypsy Cabaret Collective, a group which my gorgeous cousin is part of. Fraser showed his comedic side and Piper showed a bit of love for the poi. Piper also loved taking part in the proceedings. The boys listened to their CD all the way home and even asked for it to be turned up and asked when can we see them again."
