Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"Lauren sings with poise, swing, impeccable time and recognises humour and irony in a lyric... She is the natural successor to Blossom Dearie, Anita O'Day, Etta Jones, Ella and Carmen... and is the best export from Canada since Diana Krall, Joni Mitchell and pure mountain air."

"What a great night, I’ve been following ska bands in Kent for years. I’ve seen Madness, the Specials, the Selector and UB40 all live. But you guys were up with the best, great night."

"The Shooglers showed up and showed out for our wedding!! Everyone was raving about how fun the ceilidh was and my father in law is still talking about how the band was his favorite part of the day. Thank you to all the members of The Shooglers for an epic ceilidh party and being so patient with a bunch of Americans who couldn’t understand your accents. "

"Mark and I can’t thank you enough, everyone said how great the band was. It was great because you got everyone up and dancing, it made the evening of the wedding. Communication throughout was great and any questions and queries were answered. Would definitely recommend or if we were to have another function/party we would definitely rebook. Thanks again for everything Stacey and Mark, wedding at The Red Barn in Surrey – 22nd February 2019 "

"We booked the Wigornia String Quartet after seeing them at the NEC Wedding Show, 2 years before our wedding! Communication was great and the price was excellent. They were happy to play outside for our wedding ceremony & were able to move inside for the drinks reception, we really appreciated their flexibility! The music was incredible, absolute perfection. Their repertoire was vast & up to date. Our guests of all ages enjoyed music they recognised! Could not recommend them enough, thank you for adding such a special touch to our big day! Alice & Sam Pendrell Hall, July 2025 "

"Thursday night was a blast. Couldn’t have gone any better! On Thursday the 25th of January, the Exeter Caledonian Society hosted a Burns Night Ball accompanied by the Black Velvet Band. The band was brilliant. Their musical prowess, stamina and all round musicianship was a joy to work with - and to listen to - making the night ever better. I am so thankful for what they did. The band is easy to work with, knowledgeable about timings and can cater to any requirements. "

"We want to start off by saying a huge thank you to VWGC for singing at our wedding. It made our ceremony even more memorable. The singing was beautiful and every one of our guests mentioned how fantastic and professional you were. You helped make our day joyful and a day to truly remember. As a result you now have more followers as a number of our guests have already looked into your next gig. Thank you so much again for the perfect way to start our married life."

"I booked Station 2 Station for my wife's surprise birthday party in Cardiff. She loves good live music and they were excellent. They were easy to deal with, quick at responding and listened to what I wanted. On the night they were great. The music was at a good volume for the room size, not too loud as many bands seem to do. The singing and playing sounded great and they interacted with the audience and mixed up popular songs in a fun way that got lots of people up dancing. It was a fairly small party of around 40 people and they really made the atmosphere. Nice guys, great music, good option."
