"Having booked these guys watching their videos online due to COVID they exceeded all my expectations and were truly outstanding - their videos don’t do them justice to how good they are live! We enjoyed them so much we paid them to stay on as we didn’t want them to leave! Having spent many years watching small bands in pubs I can honestly say they are up there with the best I’ve seen. If your looking for a small band to fill any room and interact brilliantly with the crowd these are the guys. Genuinely really nice guys with a huge passion and brilliant to work with. If I don’t see you before see you at the 70th in 10 years!!"

Hi Rich, many thanks for your review and for the very kind words. It was great working with you too - you guys had clearly put a lot of time and effort into making the event happen - and we had a thoroughly enjoyable time playing for you and all the other guests. We hope to work with you again in the near future! All the best, Martin and Stuart

"Adele and Andy were absolutely fantastic! We booked very last minute and they were still able to accommodate us and tailor their song list to fit our guests! We were celebrating a 50th in a bar, with a crowd of about 40 guests! Adele and Andy read the room perfectly starting off very much as background music but had the whole group on the dance floor by the end! Both are very talented musicians and lovely people to deal with! I would recommend and use them again in a heartbeat."

"Very professional act. We had the 4 piece with live sax and trumpet. Sounded great. Excellent night, and they even waited until the Rugby had finished before they started so we could watch the game! Dance floor packed, everyone danced their feet off. Couldn't ask for more."

"A huge thank you for playing at our wedding on Saturday! Loads of our guests told us how beautiful your music was, and it made me well up as I was walking down the aisle. We appreciated you so much!"

"I can't thank Kelly and Graham enough for making our party such a fabulous event. Everyone was talking about it the next day and saying what a great time they had. We even threw some song requests in last minute and they did a tremendous job. We can't recommend them highly enough. Grahams guitar playing is just WOW! First choice for any future events. Thanks again."

"Casado played for our 25th Wedding Anniversary garden party in July 2022. They were great and knew exactly what to play to suit the event. We would highly recommend them. "

"Maple Moon Duo were the perfect surprise soundtrack to my wedding proposal I have never asked anyone to marry me before, so I wanted to create an extra special moment. As I took the knee my future wife was unexpectedly serenaded by the wonderful Maple Moon Duo. She was overwhelmed; there were tears and most importantly she said ‘yes’. I’m so incredibly grateful to the guys for listening to my every request and providing the perfect surprise musical backdrop to the perfect day. We loved their blend of beautiful, soulful romantic styles and we will never forget them. I’m thinking we have also got the perfect musical solution for the big day. I look forward to booking them again!"

"I was fortunate enough to hear Dionne sing at a party I was catering for. She was engaging, friendly and lovely and when she started singing, we were massively impressed. A beautiful voice and a wonderful presence. I would most certainly recommend her for any event."

"If you’re looking for a band who can come onstage to a marquee full of people quietly chatting and drinking and within minutes turn them into full-scale dance Machine with everybody in the place laughing and enjoying themselves, Then I think The Blaggers might be the act for you. Guests at our event (held to raise funds to prevent the destruction of a greenbelt zone) ranged from 20s to 60s, But all were captivated by the humour professionalism and generally good time emanating from rom the band. I am a professional filmmaker and have shot an l lot of promo videos for bands, from Euorope (yep, “the final countdown”) to Paul Young to AC/DC, and The Blaggers have that same charismatic quality that you see in all these massively successful bands. For a 3 piece they also a pack a monster sound, and over the course of three sets in one evening they played not only the Gay Gordons and other traditional stuff but also sex and drugs and rock’n’ roll and people are strange by the doors – not something you hear from average ceilidh band. I would highly recommend them if you’re having any kind of function we want to get the whole crowd involved. Oh and did I mention they’re very nice guys as well?"

"Martin, Natalee, and Laura from Flux Ensemble played as a string trio for our wedding at The Old Mill, Aldermaston, and they were exceptional. Their performance brought a beautiful and romantic atmosphere to both our ceremony and reception, blending everything from Paramore to Chopin to Howl’s Moving Castle seamlessly. Communication was excellent throughout, and we were able to choose all our tracks from their list along with one special request that they arranged beautifully. Highly recommended."

"Everyone was very impressed with the music at the George '100' party. I wanted to personally thank you for being so easy to work with; I thought the whole event went very smoothly. I even received complements from the hotel manager and staff! It was a real pleasure working with you."

"The perfect band for our wedding. Your music is breathtaking and your cover for our first dance song was beyond perfect! We hope you do a recorded version and share it to sound cloud as we would love to save it, was truly beautiful. We hope to book you again, perhaps for a bbq baby shower next year, would absolutely love to hire you guys again and will always recommend you to all our friends and family. Truly phenomenal voices and acoustics, you both make a great team. Thank you for making our day that extra bit special."

Hi Steve Thanks so much for inviting me down to play at your party, it was truly an honour and a pleasure, and I really enjoyed your company and the company of all your friends and family. I’ve just got back from Clapham where I’ve been telling Jo how well it went and she is thrilled too and I’m sure shell relay it back to our agent so all in all it was a great success and glad to be a part of it. I really appreciate your kind testimonial too - many thanks! I hope you enjoyed the rest of the afternoon and evening!! I sincerely hope to come back and play for you guys again! Best wishes Rory
