"Olly’s communicative skills and enthusiasm lead me to book him for Arkadin's Annual Award Ceremony 2019 out in Portugal. When in Portugal he did not disappoint, providing an organised, articulate and positive manor in which he carried out his work. This attitude reflected during his performance, as he managed to keep a room of 400-500 people excited and dancing into the early hours. Great Job Olly!"

"We hired the trio to play at our wedding ceremony. All of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music before, during the after the ceremony. There was even some improvisation requires when the bride was 10 minutes late but the guys handled this wonderfully. They dealt so well and professionally with the celebrant and the staff at the venue and it was genuinely a pleasure to have them play at our wedding. Would highly recommend to anyone."

"Regarding 21C, our feedback is all very positive. The band were fantastic live- whilst the video on-line was good, it doesn't really do them justice. The quality of the sound & their performance was excellent. Their choice of songs was also just right, as was their interaction with our (occasionally slightly mad & inebriated) guests! They got everyone dancing and created a great atmosphere. Probably the best sign is that many people (including the discerning music lovers amongst the guests) told me later how much they had enjoyed the music & asked me who the band was/ how I had found them. The DJ was also great at maintaining the tempo & atmosphere. She did a great job of finding the spanish language tracks & mixing them into the night. But at the same time she adapted in order to keep everyone on the dance floor. Everyone was very flexible considering that the music started an hour later than planned & that they were interrupted for a few unexpected hiccups. We really appreciated therefore that everyone stayed until 1am and were still there packing up when we left. They were also great at checking with me if we wanted to stick to the original plan given the delay, how we wanted the music for the bouquet/ garter throwing etc. All in all, everyone was excellent & topped off a great day. I would happily recommend the band & the DJ for anyone's event."

"Thank you to The Northern Reel Collective who played at our mum's 60th birthday ceilidh last weekend. It was a fantastic evening and everyone had a great time! The music was excellent and the caller did a great job of keeping everyone in check. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others."

"We hired Rory at very short notice to perform at my mother's birthday breakfast. The team were incredibly efficient and had our booking secure within a day. Rory arrived perfectly on time and set up quickly and independently. He played the saxophone beautifully and took note of our requests which really made the moment very special for us. Rory was incredibly professional and we look forward to hearing him play for us again soon."
