"Claudio is an outstanding accordionist and a wonderfully warm person. He was punctual and immediately fitted into our family. His set list was inspired by our atmosphere and his choice included the range that I had selected from our pre-event discussion. We were all absolutely thrilled and felt he helped make our 2021 family party simply perfect!"

"Travessia were the perfect sound to our reception, and they were even able to play one of my favourite songs by Djavan. They were able to respond really well to the crowd too, I can’t wait to have another reason to hire them! We all had a great time dancing to them and the whole evening went perfectly."

"To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Shay, for any musical opportunities she may be pursuing. I had the pleasure of working with Shay in the hospitality industry, where her exceptional talents as a musician truly shone for my events. Whenever she was contracted to perform for my clients, she demonstrated a level of professionalism that is rare in the industry. She approached every performance with a commitment to excellence, ensuring that her setlists were not only well-rehearsed but also tailored to fit the atmosphere and preferences of our guests. Her experience in various musical genres allowed her to engage with a diverse audience, and she consistently received enthusiastic feedback from our clients. What truly sets Shay apart is her passion for her craft. It is evident that she loves what she does, and this passion translates into her performances. She has an innate ability to connect with the audience, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that enhances the overall client experience. Time and again, guests would express their delight after her performances, often requesting encores and sharing how her music had elevated their event. In summary, I can confidently say that Shay would be a tremendous asset to any musical endeavor. Her professionalism, extensive experience, and genuine passion for music make her stand out in her field. I wholeheartedly recommend her without reservation. "

"Crimson Sky provided a fantastic service. The organisation and communication with Rhona was outstanding; something which is so appreciated when planning a wedding. Rhona made great suggestions and really understood our requirements. We had Crimson Sky perform at our wedding; the voice of the frontman was brilliant and the band really added to the atmosphere that we were trying to create. The huge variety Cobalt Sky’s repertoire made it exciting to choose all our favourites; which were all hits with our guests. The fact that the band were open to learning new stuff was also a great addition. Thank you so much for being a part of our day, it really made it the best day ever and I will definitely be recommending both the band and business. "

"Davie, I just wanted to contact you to say, ‘thank you VERY much, indeed’ to you and your band members for performing last Friday evening at the annual Grange Dyvours Tennis Club ‘Snow Ball’ and making it the tremendous success that it was. I have been to many weddings, ceilidhs and parties over the years and danced to many bands and I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that ‘The Big Shoogle’ stands head and shoulders above the rest. Who would have thought that weaving in Pink Floyd and Deep Purple tracks in the middle of a Dashing White Sergeant would have worked but it did! You were an absolute pleasure to deal with, before our event; you all drove a considerable distance to arrive, at exactly the time requested, to set up all your equipment then, after our dinner, you returned to put on the most amazing performance. Some of our (non-Scottish) members had never danced some of the dances before but you made sure to talk everyone through what was expected, as a warm up, before the mayhem began. My face was sore laughing, at the end of some of those dances. Just brilliant. Our ‘Snow Ball’ on Friday evening was an astounding success and we have you to thank for that. Absolutely first class. P.s. Also, thanks for taking our booking for our ball, next Christmas. I wanted to get in quick to secure you as I know how much in demand you are! "

"We booked Amplified based on a recommendation from a friend - and they were one of the highlights of our wedding weekend! Rhona and the band were very easy to work with during the planning process, which included organising the band's travel and equipment hire in France, and setup of several locations. Our guests were entertained throughout the day and night with several different styles and a large repertoire. Amplified were friendly, professional and we would highly recommend them to everyone!!
