"We had the pleasure of having Vernon perform at our workplace's Black History Month Jazz Night. During the event planning process, Vernon was really prompt in his communications with us, very accommodating and flexible. He also had a great selection of songs including ones that paid homage to the rich history of jazz music and the contributions of Black artists. During his performance, he was very good at getting the audience engaged and also had a great sense of humour to bring laughter too. Overall, Vernon's performance was a brilliant celebration of Black history through the lens of jazz music. It was a night filled with appreciation for the cultural heritage of the genre. "

"Last night at Whighams we had a world music night which was one of the best nights we have ever had. First up Bossa Nova & MPB. For the last few months I have been lucky enough to work with Sergio and Kevin in this trio playing Brazilian music. We met at a jam session organised by Ash Gupta and are playing regularly. For me it is a welcome change and an opportunity to play a different style. Next up we had a fantastic band from Latvia playing a highly melodic jazz funk set which went down really well and was appreciated by the audience. Finally the evening was closed off with a fantastic flamenco set which was just terrific, I knew what Danielo Olivera and his group would do and was sure the Whighams crew would love it and they did! An excellent and very memorable night that I was delighted to be involved with and a highlight of the music program that Kevin and Graeme Knox put together. "

"I meant to e-mail last week and say you and your band are bloody awesome! That was a total American thing to say, but honestly, I am not just saying that you guys are great! My husband loved it too – he loves Pink Floyd so when you were singing The Wall through the ceilidh music it was brilliant. I totally love ceilidhs they’re great fun, and the current music at the end was really good too! I took a few of your cards so will defo be recommending you!! "

"The quartet played beautifully throughout, adding so much to the day. We especially enjoyed listening to the gorgeous Dorchester string quartet while we waited for the bride and later while we drank champagne in the sun. Arriving in good time to make an early start and playing until we were ready to eat. True professionals. Thank you all so much. "

"Flux Ensemble performed at a family celebration and were flawless - our guests thoroughly enjoyed a wide range of modern pieces for the younger guests and some classics for the older ones, and Flux were even able to tailor some pieces for the different ethnicities of the guests. I have no hesitation in recommending them and will definitely use them again. Apart from anything else, they are solid value for money."

"The guests thoroughly enjoyed having Mr P play throughout the reception drinks. Sadly, venue rules prevented him from mingling, but we were aware they were strict!! Choice of music was good and put everyone in the celebrating mood. Weather was perfect."

"The thing I love about Kitty Galactic is their lust for for life. They play with passion and love. It was delightful to be out and bouncing around after such a long lockdown. Kat is an astute front woman with the innate ability to read a room, seamlessly switching up from Rage Against The Machine to Britney Spears. Tim communicated with me throughout and was extremely helpful with venue suggestions. Kitty Galactic may be packaged as a Wedding Band , but the party is hearty and my birthday was made exceptionally special by having them play. The 90’s mega mix encore had everyone on their feet. Make the booking, reader, I promise you won’t regret it. "
