"Hi Vasili, I could not have wished for a better day on Sunday and have received lovely thank you cards making particular reference to your wonderful performance! I used to sing in and run the alto section of the Chelsea Opera Group in London,I believe it still goes strong.I had the privilege of singing in the chorus alongside Rita Hunter,Willard White and others, Our conductors included Simon Rattle (Porgy and Bess) Mark Elder,Paul Daniel, Roger Norrington and Colin Davis was the conductor for Peter Grimes. That was something else. My husband helped with stage management. So you can see that we appreciate the opera very much and I do hope that we are able to hear you sing again in the future. Once again special thanks, Veronica."

"I was listening to the Roberto Perrone show on the radio this evening, February 2ND, where three people and himself were talking about entertainment. I admit I was only semi-listening as my mind was on writing yet another letter about our government, then all of a sudden the speaking stopped and the beautiful voice of Maria Callas came on, with her mesmeric song, and I stopped writing, I could not carry on, I had to listen, listening intently where every word is pronounced so correctly, each level of tone so perfect, it was so gorgeous, again I was blown away, wishing I could sound like her, as I always have done, and I even said out loud “no one could be better than Maria Callas”. But how wrong could I can be, because this wasn’t Maria - it was JOANNE! I was so astounded, I called the radio station producer Uzman to doublecheck and take her name for sure, I’m also a little annoyed that I’m so jealous of somebody who can sing phenomenal opera like Maria Callas and who is still alive "

"On a dull and rainswept day in May 2017 Simon came strolling through the park to play a lament, at the war memorial, for great uncle Harry, who has no known grave and was an only son, who died almost a hundred years earlier. It was a very moving event carried off with great respect. Afterwards, at the British Legion, Simon entertained us with a series of more jolly tunes. A truly great day and one which all concerned will remember forever. Thank you Simon."

"The BEST saxophonist! ✨ And no, I’ve never actually heard another saxophonist live, but I wouldn’t want to. We hired Robert to play during the drinks reception of our wedding in August and it was just PERFECT! We didn’t want a wedding full of frills- ultimately, we just wanted to create a chilled vibe in an intimate venue, surrounded by our close friends and family, with maybe a little hint of sunshine. Oh my, is this what we got! 🤍 Robert, you are absolutely incredible at what you do! All of our guests, big and small (the children LOVED you and were absolutely fascinated!) complemented you and we would hire you again for future events in a heartbeat. You complemented our special day so perfectly, and the sound of your sax in the background of many of our videos is just beautiful! It’s a sound that will hold special memories for us for a lifetime 🤍 I highly recommend Robert to anybody who is getting married/planning another special event- it’s a decision you won’t regret! "

"‘We had a Christmas party like no other! Due to the pandemic, the whole event was streamed live to our guests. Holly jolly Christmas stepped in with seamless professionalism, despite the fact that this was rather out of the ordinary and probably not what they were used to - they entertained our guests just as energetically as if we were all together in person. We all had a fun time and hope we can get together in person for the next event and see/hear this band in the flesh!"

"We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Alan for playing at our wedding in August 2021. We booked with him back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding. With the pandemic we had to push our wedding to 2021, Alan forever the professional had no problems with moving to our new date which we really appreciated. Alan even took time to arrive early to rehearse with my niece who was singing at our wedding with Alan accompanying her. All of our guests were incredibly complimentary of Alan’s talent. We were grateful for the range of songs covered as there was something in there for everyone. We would not hesitate to recommend Alan for any event, he was a fantastic addition to our wedding and was a pleasure to deal with throughout. "
