"The VIP Formula are brilliant! We hired them for a birthday party at our house, communication was excellent from the moment of booking. A most professional outfit who made our event a spectacular success. Arriving in good time, they set up without disruption to the proceedings. They are all talented musicians who played a wonderful mix of latin music and popular tunes cleverly adapted into a Cuban style which got everybody dancing. A highly polished yet personalised performance that impressed everyone and we would definitely recommend them."

Dear Duncan, All memories I have from your wife's Birthday Party are fantastic. She played a great African Percussion solo! Hahahaha... That was really fun. Thank you very much again for having us. Best regards, Michael. VIP Formula

"VIP Formula was a pleasure to work with. The communication in the lead-up to our event was great to ensure VIP Formula t met our brief exactly. On the day the band arrived promptly and set up with no fuss ready for the party to start. The delegates loved the Latin music and audience participation and it really made the party. I would recommend this band to anyone."

"The 515 crew led by the talented Shama, brilliantly supported by the evergreen Chirag & great entertainer Nimesh were awesome on 5th May at City Pavilion. We had Shama & her crew for the Engagement party where we had the best trio in music industry - Shama, Chirag & Nimesh play some superb tracks. Whether it is a mehfil or dance settings the talented group always excel with superb sing-along melodies. We have seen Shama & her crew perform so many times & every time they raise the bar with brilliant performances. The amazing thing is that each show is unique & diverse with all songs suited to the audience. Shama’s great versatility in arranging shows & entertaining the audience all year round with her sought after group gives us all an opportunity to enjoy music at its best- no matter what the occasion. Keep it up Shama & 515 crew. Thank you for entertaining us all music lovers. Best wishes - Praful & Kalpna Lakhani"

"Shama what an amazing evening we all had and the music, live singing, lighting and Dj all were excellent. Even our guests and the venue manager could not recognise their own hall. It looked like a banquet hall,  amazing and thank you Shama for organising me such a beautiful package for us."

"I just wanted to send an email to say thank you so much to you and Eleanor for being at our event on Sunday. It really made the evening to have you there, I have been flooded with messages from people since to say how much they enjoyed hearing your music. I’m a music grad (clarinettist) myself and it was important to me to have live music there and it was honestly just perfect. Thank you. We are following you on social media because we want to come to a concert so are keeping an eye on your upcoming concert dates! Best wishes Sophie "

"The mother of the bride, who has worked tirelessly for months to prepare the house and the wedding day, said the salsa band was the highlight of the whole day. That is the highest praise anyone can hope to achieve! I personally loved them and the dedications of certain Spanish songs we had requested to our family members, thank you so much! "

"I would give ten stars out of five if I could! Gospel & Soul Choir surprised our guests at our wedding reception on Sat 15th Sept. They were not only incredible singers, but also lit the room up with their smiles and infectious love for music. I organised this with Gail at Gospel & Soul Choir and she was professional from beginning to end, and also willing to incorporate my ideas and gave great advice throughout. Absolutely wonderful choir, don’t miss out!!!"

"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."

"The Extonions played at our wedding in Somerset at the end of October and we cannot recommend them highly enough! They got everyone up on their feet and all our guests enjoyed dancing, clapping and tapping along! A very talented group of musicians and a must see! Thank you all so much."
