"What a fantastic band. Mark and his group were brilliant - everything we had hoped for. Mark did a solo acoustic set at the beginning, which was the perfect backdrop to people arriving and chatting. Then he and the band played 2 brilliant sets, getting everyone on the dancefloor. Mark was a brilliant communicator - listened to our requests and took them into account for the sets. He was also brilliant at engaging with the party. Top marks - would 100% recommend!"

"Straight Up were absolutely phenomenal! We knew they'd be great, but they blew us away. All the guests were in absolute awe. Jeremy was a delight and brought such a electricity to the stage, so amazing. "

"Just wanted to say a big 'thank you' to you all for Saturday night. You guys never fail to deliver and are a sure fix to keep a dance floor jumpin'. I wanted to dance all night as I knew many others would, and that we did. I've had loads of calls and messages of thanks since Saturday and everyone has commented on what a great band you are and how they thoroughly enjoyed it. Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the guys. I'm sure I'll continue to see you all around 'the hood! Thank you... Again!"

"Soul Generations were absolutely fantastic at our wedding. Their repertoire was interesting and varied, so it was easy to select a really good set list together. Rhona, their manager, got in touch about a month before and asked if we wanted the band to learn something new for the first dance, which we thought was incredibly thoughtful. On the day, the band absolutely smashed it - from beginning to end. Their versions of each song was original, cool and on point. Nearly everyone asked where we had found the band, and said they were absolutely the best they'd heard. We loved every minute. Thank you!! X"

"Ione and her band were brilliant musicians. Sometimes I had to take a look at them to see if it was them playing or the d j playlist equipment as they sounded just like the real artists whose tracks there were singing. Their repertoire catered for all our guests age range from 6 to 84 years. We can’t wait to have an excuse to have another party to invite them to perform for us again."

"Adam has been a member of my band since 2014. Together we were sampled by Jay Z on '4.44', a Grammy nominated Platinum record. In August we recorded our 3rd Album together for 'Hannah Williams & the Affirmations' at Rockfield Stuidos in Monmouthshire. We have toured the world together and played hundreds of festival and club shows internationally. He is an excellent guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and bassist and is great fun to work with. This band will bring energy and style to any event and entertain you and your guests!"

"The Spinettes were booked by the residents at Harleston House for a musical event that they had planned for Dementia Awareness Week. The girls were very warm and friendly with their performance but remained professional performers throughout. The music and the selection of songs for our client group was spot on, its not easy to keep people with Dementia engaged but they managed very well. It was lovely that when they finished their show the girls took the time in going round chatting to the residents and their relatives this was a lovely thing to do. The residents are still talking about it and they all said what a lovely time they had together. I have been requested to book them again and I have no problem with recommending this group and their manager for any event that requires this style of entertainment."

"Have booked this band a couple of times now, good music and some fun props. Ideally suit an older audience due to genre of music played. Nice bunch of friendly guys."

Many thanks for your kind words Sue. We have always had fun when playing for you at the Flying Pig. Your creative bar dancing to our version of “Wipeout” is define a very special memory for all of us ? Hopefully we can recreate this at some time in the future as this is a showpiece number for Kevin our amazing new drummer!
