"The sax player was amazing! He got so involved with the crowd, I’m so glad we booked him for Easy Jet. Really made our end of year party special. Will definitely be booking him again for next years event. "

"I had Signal Glow at my partner's 40th Birthday party. They exceeded any expectations I may have had from previous bands at events and really brought the party to life. The track list got people up and dancing without any hint of cheese.... perfect. This is a band I would use for any future events and would recommend others to do the same. Brilliant guys, thanks so much."

"Soul Delight were amazing!!! They performed for us at our wedding and they really got the crowd on their feet every time, even though it was a long evening everyone was dancing. Andy was a great communicator with the music selection and sorting everything out. They were upbeat and lots of fun. Layla is an amazing singer and even when some of our guests got carried away with their dance"

"Rating 5/6 : Very Enjoyable Absolute Mayhem The Horse & Chains, Bushey on Saturday 30 September 2023 It's a rare thing to go into a local pub and hear a keyboard player who has been described as a musical "genius" by none other than David Bowie. This is no tall story either. The musician Billy Ritchie was the first player in rock music to give keyboards a prominent role -- and that was before Keith Emerson (ELP) and Rick Wakeman came on the scene. Billy told me that he remained good friends with the Thin White Duke until his death in 2016. Lanark-born Mr Ritchie now provides the skilful and fancy keyboards and records backing tracks for his latest incarnation Mayhem with talented female singer Carol Leslie. Carol is a really strong vocalist with a gutsy style. This dynamic duo started their first set at the cosy Sebright Arms with Elvis's late sixties' classic Suspicious Minds. The second song was a surprise -- Kirsty MacColl's comedy number There's A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears His Elvis. It was a perfect choice after the first song. Carol and Billy select their material wisely and give their audience something very different from the predictable Mustang Sally, Brown Eyed Girl and I Saw Her Standing There, churned out by so many pub bands. So it was great to hear Georgio Moroder and Phil Oakey's electro smash Together In Electric Dreams, Matchbox's catchy rocker Rockabilly Rebel, Starship's uplifting We Built This City (on which Billy demonstrated his keyboard dexterity) and Solomon Burke's gospel-ish Cry To Me. And that was just the first half. Carol is happy to tackle songs usually associated with male vocalists and she started part two with a raucous version of Bryan Adams' rocker Summer Of 69. If you have never seen Mayhem, ask Billy to perform Light My Fire, the Doors rock classic from 1967. This was a sheer musical masterclass as he re-created both vocally and instrumentally this great song. Billy has a rich, tuneful voice and this was a stunning performance. Other highlights in the second half included Journey's rock anthem Don't Stop Believing, Carol's gritty interpretation if Shania Twain's Man I Feel Like A Woman and a fine performance of Bon Jovi's Living On A Prayer A total of 24 songs and I cannot wait to see this duo again. My only concern is their name. I think many club and pubgoers might think Mayhem are a heavy metal band rather than an all-round, top class duo.

"Very happy with the overall communication before the event – easy to liaise with you and confirm requirements, timings etc. You arrived early which was great to help get everything set up in time for the evening. The music itself was great and we had plenty of comments from people to say how much they enjoyed it – you played exactly the kind of music we were after and really felt the vibe of the room. You adapted to when we needed specific breaks during the meal for awards and was always a really smooth transition. Overall we were extremely happy with the service you offered and the performance in general. Would definitely repeat book if we had another similar need/event!"
