Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"We wanted to have a special night at the club for our Golf Professional sponsored Jubilee day & Back2Skool did not disappoint. It was the best dinner dance we have had at the club since I can remember & the band had everyone off their seats & dancing. The big band sound was just right & the repertoire of classic songs really hit the mark."

"Myself & My Wife couldn’t recommend Mitch anymore if we tried. From first booking with Mitch, the most friendly and helpful individual you could ask for. Very easy to contact and speak with regarding any requests, questions or potential issues regarding our wedding party and timings of set up etc. We supplied him with requests from our guests and of course our own request for later in the night. He delivered beyond our expectations with the music and percussion performances. Also collaborated superbly with the Saxophonist we hired for the party as well. Our guests absolutely loved him, especially when he allowed them to have ago on the drums themselves. Would definitely recommend Groove Craft Duo to anyone looking for a DJ who has a love for house/dance music, knows how to keep the dance floor busy and happy. Thank you once again Mitch for a fantastic performance at our wedding!"

"We found ‘The Upbeats musical duo’ online and contacted them. They were quick to get back to us and communicating with them via email was easy throughout the preparations for our wedding reception. Peter and Rachel recommended the music for us, which was perfect, but were more than happy for us to give them a list of other music if we had so wanted. From the moment they began singing, everyone was up dancing. We did ask for a particular song for our first dance and Peter and Rachel were only too happy to accommodate. We had the most amazing night, as did our guests. We highly recommend Peter and Rachel and will definitely be calling upon them for future parties. "

"The new line-up has bedded in very well. There is expert musicianship and great arrangements resulting in a much tighter sounding group. Highly recommended."

"We just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you so much for playing at our celebration last week - we thought you and the band were fantastic and loved dancing to your dulcet tones. Thank you for making our wedding celebration that extra bit special (it also made Sophie and James' entire evening and they've talked of nothing else since!)"

"Mr P is the 1st Saxophonist that actually understood what type of music we wanted. We have gone through many and until i've heard him. I almost lost hope. Mr P will always be my 1st choice for any future bookings."

"We had such a brilliant night, Louise and the whole band were absolutely fantastic. From start to finish they were professional, friendly, and so easy to work with. Communication was spot on in the lead-up, and they even came to meet us at the venue beforehand which made everything run so smoothly. The performance itself was incredible, great energy, amazing vocals, and they had everyone up and dancing. Some people hearing the performance live from outside couldn't believe it wasn't a recording! We've had so many compliments from guests since. Would highly recommend and hope to catch them live again soon!"

"Gary was a fantastic steel drummer with such a great talent. After searching high and low for a valuable artist to play at my partners 30th surprise carribean themed birthday party, I most definitely made the right choice in booking Gary! He looked and sounded fabulous and was he high light of the night. Great thanks and will deffo book again!"

"The guys did a great job playing at my dad's funeral wake. He was big fan of jazz and having his favourite songs played meant a great deal. Thank you both."

"We were delighted to have a special secret act turn up for our daughters wedding at The Woolacombe Bay Hotel. Our future son-in-law mentioned about two days before the wedding that he would love a “Blues Brothers” tribute band for the wedding music, but knew he’d left it too late to book. We decided to try our hardest to accommodate this request. After contacting Chris from "Those Singing Waiters and 106 Miles to Chicago", we were delighted to find they could travel down to us for the day, and surprise the happy couple. They came into the afray, just as the desserts were being served, and everyone thought it was a couple of the hotel staff trying to entertain the wedding party off the cuff. But it soon became apparent that these two were very professional, and were extremely funny. The event got livelier later when in the second set, they took to the stage as the “Blues Brothers”, and our daughters were invited to do a turn, with “Shout” and “Rescue Me”. We have had a long association within the singing entertainment circuit, with two of our daughters doing solo performing, one of our son-in-laws playing guitar in a band and one of our relatives and a guest at the function is Benny Gallagher of “Gallagher and Lyle” fame. He agreed the afternoon and evening was a total success. We wouldn’t hesitate to re-book this act in the future, when we’ve got over the shock of this years wedding!! "
