"Unknown to me before the performance, John and his instrumental companions produced a wonderful prelude to the well known band, T'Pau. John has a very melodic voice and performs his songs with great feeling and passion. I think that it is fair to say that he was a great surprise to the audience and very enthusiastically appreciated. How lucky we are in Britain to have such a wealth of talent and how lucky for Bewdley and Worcestershire that we have such a depth of people with musical connections who can bring such acts to this small town. Not forgetting the army of volunteers who enthusiastically assist in the organisation and smooth running of events. Well done Bewdley!"

"We had Viewpoint come and play for our wedding all day, including the service and the reception, and they were exceptional. With both of us having deeply engrained musical backgrounds, we wanted only the best for our day. The boys are so entertaining, joyful and passionate. We wouldn’t hesitate to have them play for us again, and recommend them at every opportunity. Thanks so much guys for all you did for us on our day!"

"Nev’n’Russ played last night at our village barbecue and kept us entertained with some lively music which was pleasing to all age groups. They have previously played in our small Village Room and toned it down to suit the venue, and have ramped it up for the garden of our local pub. Would thoroughly recommend "

"We had an absolute amazing day it just seemed to be over so fast. You and the other guys in the band put on a fantastic and professional show for us despite all the restrictions from the venue you had to deal with which certainly didn't seem to matter on the night ! We have had so many excellent comments about you already which is awesome! You guys were exactly what we were looking for when it came to a band . As it is quite a cool modern venue we needed a cool slick band who could cater musically for all the age groups at the reception which you did outstandingly so thank you. From what I can remember there were people up and dancing most of the night which is what Amy & I really wanted and I think that talks for itself when I say everyone was having a good time!! I'm so glad that the venue look after you guys and you also enjoyed it also. Amy and myself would be more than happy to recommend the Embassy to anyone who were looking for the perfect band to play at their wedding or function!! My only hope now is that I can think of an excuse to book you again for something else one day! . Thanks again to you and the rest of the guys and we wish you all the best for the future. Mike & Amy Laughton, wedding at The Crazy Bear, Oxfordshire – 29th September 2012 "

"Just wanted to say thank you for Saturday. It was really awesome and everyone loved the band so much. The first dance song was incredible and it was just a really fun and awesome night! You kept us dancing all night and that was what we wanted so we are so grateful for that! And all the song choices were great! Thank you for fitting around our delays to timings when everything started running behind! It was incredible."

"Hi Will, Now that we are back from Honeymoon, we really wanted to send you an email, just to say a big thank you to you and the band for being such an enjoyable and big part of our wedding day. We loved the music, it was exactly what we were looking for and have had great feedback from other guests. During the party there was a nice mix of songs to suit all ages that you get at a wedding. The quality of the music was excellent throughout (well except for those drunk idiots destroying Delilah at the end) and most of all it helped to create the good fun atmosphere that we were looking for. A special mention also for the first dance......we have not seen the video of it yet, but I remember thinking in the moment how wonderful it sounded and how good it was to have a quality live band playing for the first dance! A special mention to you for the wonderful Piano on this and of course to the female singer (sorry we did not get her name) who was delightful. We also wanted to mention your solo spot during dinner. Again, a great selection of songs that helped to support the ambience of the occasion and what else can I say, but just top quality. Thanks also for letting us use your mics for the speeches....sorry they overran so much. So in summary, it is just a massive thank you to you and your band, we are delighted that we had you all performing at the wedding......its amazing what you can find on a night out in Bristol!! :) "

"The dance floor was full all night. The band were amazing and all our guests commented how good they were. We wanted a cover song for our first dance but wanted it changed for it to fit in with another track, and slowed down they managed this no problem. They called to let us hear it in advance and steadied any worries we had before the wedding. Even at the end of the night I was offered a go on the drums and was given a wee lesson. Great fun would definitely recommend them. A lovely bunch of people and very warm and welcoming. Thanks guys for the sharing our special night with you. A night definitely to remember. Xx"

"Thanks so much Chris and the rest of the band - always very quick to respond and alleviate my bridezilla concerns!! The duo, full band and silent disco were fabulous, The dance floor was never empty and I think that's the highest compliment you can give! You also have encouraged our 7 year old nephew even more into becoming a musician!!!! We have had so many comments on how great the band was, so thank you so much! Just need an excuse for another party so we can get you to play for us again!!!! Xx"

"We booked Overdrive for our Wedding in May this year and wow we have nothing but amazing things to say about them and every aspect of their performance!! In the build up to the wedding Overdrive was incredibly helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. After a couple of exchanges of messages, Nora recommended that we saw them at one of their residency evenings in Henley which was so exciting. Nora made such an effort to make us feel welcome and get to know us personally! Overdrive were so supportive, offering us great advice on what the best flow for the day would be, really demonstrating their knowledge and expertise. On the day we didn't have to worry about any logistics and they were set up and ready to go as soon as we got to the reception venue. Overdrive started off with their Ibiza Chills set for the drinks reception, providing the perfect background music to a glass of fizz and some canapes. The evening followed with their 4-piece band, setting off the dance floor with a bang after the first dance! The performance was incredible and they had everyone on the dancefloor for every second possible. They brought such great energy and it was so nice to have them getting involved with the guests. All of our guests have been so complimentary of Overdrive, saying what a fantastic vibe they brought to the night, how incredible the music was, and how much fun they had. Moreover, our photographer was in absolute awe of their tunes and proceeded to stay for the rest of their set! It was so fantastic seeing how our vendors worked together with such professionalism to promote each others businesses, all whilst bringing together such a beautiful day for us. If you're planning an event then we cannot recommend them enough, and we are already looking for any excuse to have another party so we can book them again!! If you still don't believe us - We highly recommend checking out their socials. You can really get a flavour for their incredible sound, vibe, and party atmosphere!"

"Sophie’s connection to music is deep and undeniable. Her music and words range from deep and powerful to fun and light, with warm and inviting folky tones. I find her a joy to listen to and feel that her accomplished musicianship reflects her spirit- heartfelt, skilful, passionate and free."
