"We booked Mozzle Brocha through the LMMwebsite, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was fantastic throughout, and Mariana was supportive, thoughtful, and generous with ideas, including advice around timings and how best to shape the event. The music itself was outstanding. These are extremely talented, high-end musicians with a real mastery of klezmer. They were not just any old klezmer band, although we would have been happy with that. This was not background music. Everything was irresistibly danceable, with rich, confident musicianship, fantastic sound quality, and a set that completely held the room. The lyrics and Yiddish were beautiful and authentic, adding real depth and meaning to the performance. They went the extra mile by learning an additional song especially for us, which meant a great deal and was hugely appreciated. What really stood out was how the music brought everyone together. Older people left genuinely happy, reminded of songs from their childhood. Teenagers, who we half-expected to hang back or drift outside, threw themselves in completely. They joined in, learned new dances as they were being shown, and then freestyled alongside everyone else. It became a joyful, intergenerational celebration. Mozzle Brocha handled all their own set-up, advised clearly on timings, and led the event with confidence and ease. Everything ran smoothly, with no issues at all. Our only regret was that the venue had a strict time limit because another event followed. Otherwise, we would have been calling for encores. The music was just that good. We had so many compliments afterwards, and they truly made our day. We cannot wait for another family occasion as an excuse to book them again. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it, and you would not regret booking them."

"I would 100% recommend Royal Bollywood Fusion Strings. They are great musically, their service is fantastic and they are genuine people. They really take the time to understand and learn their customer, they are great at checking in and at sharing ideas. Covid has caused a lot of disruptions, but Sandeep has been exceptionally professional and understanding, his values really do shine through. Such a pleasure to know you guys. Can’t wait to experience the music again ♡"

"A fantastically talented and professional duo who seem to enjoy an encyclopaedic knowledge of music from Central and Eastern Europe. Although they are only two musicians they produce the sound of a small orchestra. Igor possesses a very fine voice and his renditions of Moscow Nights, Ochi Chornie and Those Were the Days (among a huge list of songs) are second to none. Sarah is a brilliant violinist and domra player. They enhanced our evening and made it quite unforgettable. "

"Shama and The 515 Crew deliver more than just a show – the clarity of vocals and passion in their performance left both us and the audience wanting more. The stand out highlight of Bollywood Fever 2015 was having Shama and The 515 Crew 'wow' those present, set against the perfect backdrop of Bargehouse, Oxo Tower Wharf in the heartland of London's cultural district South Bank. Polite professionalism, whilst being able to perform to an expectant audience is a rare commodity in the entertainment industry, however Shama and The 515 Crew achieve this in abundance. Comfy seats are not needed since by the end of the jam everyone will be on their feet shaking a leg!' - May 2015"
