"Booking Simcha Sounds for our son’s Bar Mitzvah was truly the highlight of our planning. They created the perfect balance of tradition and celebration — beginning with soulful, heartfelt melodies that gave the ceremony such meaning, and then transforming the atmosphere with a dancefloor set that had every generation dancing together. The energy was infectious, the vocals phenomenal, and the entire band exuded both professionalism and joy. We were especially impressed by how seamlessly they coordinated with the venue, caterer, and planner, ensuring the whole evening flowed effortlessly. It felt polished and world-class, yet still warm and personal. Our son told us it was ‘the best night ever,’ and we know Simcha Sounds played a huge part in making it so."

"We hired the magical mystery four as a surprise for my Dads 60th Birthday party. They were fantastic. Everyone was up dancing and singing along, they played for 2 hours, lovely guys and great to communicate with the whole way through. Would 100% recommend to any Beatles fans! Thank you for making my Dads party a night to remember!"

"By far the best live band Iv seen to date. Apart from the music being outstanding, the band members are truly passionate in what they do and make you feel part of their music. I would 100% rememend The Leathernecks for an amazing night for any type of event. "

"Bessie’s life in blues brought back to life. Some performers deserve to be known by more than their work. Bessie Smith won fame as Empress of the Blues in the 1020’s, but there was more to her life than money and fame. She died in 1937, but 80 years on a good sized crowd were held rapt at the Thunderbolt as Dave Merrick narrated her life story, from a ragged upbringing in the American South, with the help of original recordings. Bessie shot to fame because her unique vocal style could cut through the limitations of 1920s recording technology. But it was the live performances the Totterdown audience were waiting for, and Natalie Davis on vocals, with Dave on guitar and Brenan Whitmore on saxophone did not disappoint. Renditions of I Need A Little Sugar in my Bowl, and ‘Taint Nobodies Business If I Do made the magic of Bessie shine, from the slow paced blues of the 1920s to the syncopated swing of the 1930. . the show had the audience rapt. - Paul Breeden, South Bristol Voice (May 01, 2017)"

"Laura Moon played at our wedding on the 8th January this year. I chose her because I had seen her performing at another wedding I attended last year. I knew we would not be disappointed at our choice. I can honestly not praise Jade highly enough and would not ever choose anyone else if I ever needed a singer again. She is an amazingly beautiful artist, her voice is unique and gives me goosebumps. On the day, she arrived early and set up without any fuss. I had asked for songs she had not played before and wow, she could not be faulted. She played and song them brilliantly. She played when I walked down the aisle, during the signing and when we exited. Then throughout the meal. Everyone said how wonderful she was and talented. On one hand, I hope she gets spotted but on the other hand, we would all miss out. I cannot shout out enough on how exceptionally amazing and gifted she is. If you want a truly spectacular artist, who goes the extra mile to make your day, choose Jade. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Laura Moon, you made our day and I wish you all the very best for your bright future."

"We booked The Vintage Tennessee Belles as our entertainment at a Royal British Legion anniversary dinner. From the off the Belles were on it. We’d requested two set from them the first was to be 40’s and the second we left up to them to get the party going. The Belles didn’t disappoint. The first set they did was really appropriate for the Royal British celebration. The second set was amazing. They created a real party atmosphere and had the dance floor packed. Nobody wanted them to finish and they were asked for an encore, they were happy to oblige. I can’t recommend The Vintage Tennessee Belles highly enough. My advice…….. book them!"
