"Finally, much respect to Leo for his particularly accomplished playing and ability to repeat such an energetic performance so many times over the course of two days. I think George owes you the beers instead. If I manage to see you in TV on my side of the planet, I’ll buy you one, too."

"What a wonderful evening you gave us all last night. There were many compliments about how engaging you all were and how committed you were to giving a high energy and quality performance. It was a perfect evening enjoyed by everyone there. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone for a very lively and fun filled evening of excellent entertainment. The DJ did a fantastic job too and kept the dancing going right to the end. We also appreciate your support and flexibility in providing the PA system for the speeches."

"What an excellent band! Made New Year's Eve twice as enjoyable. Wonderfully funky disco sound. Magic vocals. How come they know all my favourite songs? Great to dance to and very entertaining!"

"What a lovely surprise! The music is authentic, and the guys really understand clave. I've been collecting Latin music (from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Colombia) for a long time now and am very rarely surprised..."

"We booked this band for a corporate event to celebrate the achievements of our customers. From the initial booking The VIP Formula communicated well and kept us updated. They arrived early to set up and test the equipment, meaning they were relaxed and composed and ready to start at the appropriate time.The band were very accommodating considering our time scales did not go to plan. Once the band started to play, the guests relaxed and really enjoyed the music, many guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music and singing and dancing. The Band made me as the organiser feel comfortable, communication was great, really accommodating gentleman. I would certainly have no hesitation in booking them for future events. Thank you for helping to make the day a great success."

"From the moment we met Francis of Band One Steel Band we knew we had to have the band a part of a wedding! I can say that the bad were amazing! They played during our cocktail hour and really brought the energy to the day! They made the occasion memorable! Our family and friends loved them and we loved them! They have great range of songs and they also can performance new pieces of music that you may request. Please do not hesitate to book this wonderful band to be a party of your special occasion! Thank you Steel Band One for everything! "

His performance absolutely made the evening. My guests have not stopped messaging and mentioning him and how amazing it was. He worked so hard and is exceptionally talented. Thank you so much Rory for going above and beyond. Thank you again."

"Rory was so easy to work with - a great professional. He even helped us out with last minute requests such as lending us extra microphones for speeches and bringing a music stand for our celebrant. As soon as he started playing the room came alive - from saxophone to piano he added a special, sophisticated, musical magic to the evening. You can't beat live music and Rory is a very talented musician. Thanks again Rory! It was a pleasure to have you perform."

"Tijuca Taxi entertained at my 50th birthday in our large garden. He brought all his equipment and was ready to start straight away. He was a multi-instrumentalist, and I couldn’t believe it when he got out both saxophone and flute. He played beautiful music with a professional, original backing track, I noted, and it was wonderful to have that live element. He also changed costumes half way through which we were quite surprised and amused at; I thought that this really added to the high standard of his professionalism and the variety of what he offered. He was very easy to talk to and I would definitely book him again. Even the neighbours next door asked if the music was live as it sounded so special and they wanted to come and listen."

"Latina Festivale delivered a lively and energetic set at the King's Head. Blending laid back Bossa Nova with upbeat salsa and popular songs, perfect for a seasonal summer's day barbecue, their music was enjoyed by all of our customers."

"Rory hit the mark perfectly with his choice of music for our garden marquee wedding reception. Many people came up to us and said how much they had enjoyed listening to him and that he was the perfect link between the speeches and leading into the BBQ. Rory is a very talented musician and he wowed us with his sax and flute playing. We even had two professed ‘non-lovers’ of saxophone totally converted to his style and choice of music! The younger ones amongst the guests also made a point of coming up and saying how good he was and that they really enjoyed listening to him. So thank you once again to Rory, a lovely guy who really made our wedding reception special – a fabulous find."

"We would just like to say a big thank you to Pretige. The music they played was great and I must say they were one of the best bands I’ve heard for a while."
