"I first encountered The Tuning Forks fairly recently, at a 200 capacity independent venue in the Strathbungo area of Glasgow. I was there as House Audio Tech and it was one of those nights where before the soundcheck had even commenced, I had a sense that something pretty special was about to happen. The individual tones they delivered during soundcheck were staggeringly rich and I knew that once the faders were at unity and the ensemble played as a unit that my initial instinct had to be correct. I was NOT prepared for the emotive, playful and dare I say, danceable set which we were treated to. Like an organism made of limbs that mostly supported each other without obstruction, ego or flashiness, but with occasional forays into wild and feral territories; always as a unit and simultaneously bubbling like a pot on the stage with sudden bursts of joyous phrase manipulation or flurries of individual hyper-expression that always teased and never outstayed their welcome. I was left shellshocked and almost lost for words immediately following their performance. Frivolity, lullabying, romance, questing, struggle, sadness, ecstasy and introspection seemed to come like waves from the stage but, the overall feeling was that the explorations I was witness to were a fun and gentle love letter to the magic of the life experience. In summation… There are very few artists that inspire me to lower my inhibitions enough to literally ASK to work with them again as soon as possible… but that’s exactly what was called for!"

"We just wanted to drop you a note to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding on Saturday! (And sorry we didn't get a chance to say it on the day) Having a live band was one of our must haves and you guys were exactly what we wanted. Plus, I thought you'd like to know that we've had a number of guests let us know how good they thought the band were!"

"We booked Morgan and Melville duo for our canapés and for during our sit down meal. All we can say is WOWEE. It was magical. Even our grandparents approved. Charlotte has one of the best voices we’ve ever heard. ? "

"This very talented lady sang our first dance at our wedding and rearranged the song we wanted which made for a beautiful version of 'i'm gonna be (500 Miles)' by the Proclaimers. Awesome!"

"Hi Tony, We just wanted to say thank you so much for entertaining us and our guests on our wedding day. You were absolutely perfect for us! We are still hearing about how amazing you were from all of our guests who were very impressed and had a great night. My dear Grandpa was a successful jazz singer back in his day and said it was just like seeing Frank Sinatra in his youth, he was very impressed with you indeed! Thank you so much for making the evening perfect for us, we couldn't have hoped for a better singer to celebrate our big day with! We will tell everyone about you!! Thanks again, Claire & Stu xxx"

"We were lucky enough to have Sunny play at our event last week. His music, coupled with the brilliant Autumnal heatwave, created a wonderful summery feel. He was a real crowd pleaser and we'd love to have him back next year!"
