"I was a bit apprehensive as I had not seen them play live before but I needn’t have worried as they were brilliant and the range of songs they played suited everyone from the young to the old. It was a fantastic night and having the band play made it that extra bit special! I would not hesitate in recommending House of Chords for an event."

"Firstly we, Kestrel, would like to thank you for the part you both played in ensuring that our celebration of achieving three Queens Awards for International Trade at the House of Commons was such a huge success. We appreciate that it is no mean feat to tackle the large amount of process, forms and general red tape required to gain access to the Houses of Parliament, have yourselves and your equipment approved, and set up within an extremely short time frame. You also managed all of their decibel and internal requirements without any one from Kestrel needing to have any involvement – which is very much appreciated on such a busy occasion. Leaving me free to manage all other aspects of the event, without needing to be involved in the music and entertainment. When we heard you play at the Hoste Arms in Burnham Market, we were extremely impressed especially with the combination saxophone music and really feel that the variety of music you can provide makes you flexible enough to attend a wide range of events. That along with your organisational skills and professional attitude is hugely to be commended. We would not hesitate to use you again, with or without the saxophone, and equally to recommend you to other high profile events within both the corporate and the private entertainment sector. Another massive plus for us was the feedback we received from our guests, who absolutely loved the evening and many were to be found just enjoying listening to your music and we received comments on the night and also feedback to say that it really made the evening. Once again thank you to you both, and please don’t hesitate to contact us should you ever require more formal references for other engagements."

"We saw Electro 90s play in Preston and loved them. It was 31 Jan (the last day of dry January), so we were dancing & singing all night long!"

"The Confidential made our day and night! The duo came and set up without a fuss and the band were very professional and interacted with the crowd, they were great fun. I organised our wedding from Australia and it was clear to see on their website that the band would be great. We didn't want an average wedding band and The Confidential exceeded our expectations. I would definitely recommend booking this band!"

"Just a short note to say thank you to The Night Hours for playing at my daughters wedding evening on 7th September. Everyone commented on what a smashing evening it was and a grand finale to a very succesful day. Thank you once again."

"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.

"We have had the delight of working with Party Club Brass on two occasions and on both occasions, they have provided us with first-class entertainment. They have the perfect music for a variety of occasions. Thanks to the guys for bringing so much to our hospitality and events and we can't wait to work with them again! "

""Thank you so much for playing at our wedding! It was amazing. I loved the way you split the sets into 2 genres and it worked perfectly I think. Also thank you so much for putting so much time and effort into our request songs. As you could probably tell they went down a treat with everyone there...not only those within our band who knew and loved them but also our friends and family who had never heard anything like loved it too! You guys are truly talented and from start to finish complete professionals. Thank you so much for bringing the rhythms and feel of Latin America and Brazil to our wedding. It was absolutely perfect. If you need me to write any more as a recommendation then please just let me know as I could go on forever! Thank you once again and hopefully our paths will cross in the future somewhere somehow!""

"I stumbled across the band through a google search. We were looking for a band for our leaving do. I loved the hip hop melody on their website...they were even better live! Everyone of the 150 guests at our party raved about how great they were! Even my husband, who does not dance, was on the dance floor by the end of the night! I honestly can’t rave about them enough! Fabulous. Thanks guys for making our night so special"
