"The Band played at the reception for our daughter's wedding in the unusual setting of Boggle Hole Youth Hostel - well done for making it down the hill! They were perfect for the occasion, with a great choice of lively and well-known tunes, and never dominated the proceedings by being too loud. They are all extremely talented musicians. The vast majority of the wedding party are singers and performers, so are hard to impress, but everyone enjoyed the music and commented on the lovely atmosphere the band created. Very highly recommended to help your event go with a swing! Thank you."

"We booked Soul Of The Party for our camping clubs 60th birthday party. Right from our first contact with the band they were totally professional. Every question was answered, they made suggestions to help the party go with a swing. Right through to packing up at the end of the night the band were amazing. These musicians performed to an very high standard, interacted with the audience and kept the energy going to ensure a full dancefloor all night long. Not one member of the audience did not enjoy the evening and you could tell that the band enjoyed performing as much as we enjoyed listening. Cannot recommend this band highly enough. You won’t be disappointed! "

"The Dog & Fox in Wimbledon Village hosted Latina Festivale on the evening of 6th September as part of our Havana Club promotion. The band were reliable, arrived on time prepared and started as agreed. The guests enjoyed the new tropical vibe the band brought. Many thanks and best wishes, Marta, Sales & Marketing Manager."

"Well, we had never booked anything quite like a Caribbean steel band previously, but we fancied a change to our normal style of drab Christmas entertainment. The guys calypsofied Christmas carols, and played a good mixture of songs that we all knew. All in all we are definitely happy that we booked Francis and his troops, and I would certainly recommend them for any occasion."

"Sophie and I just wanted to thank you guys so much for keeping everyone entertained during our wedding day back in August, you managed to do exactly what we had wanted and did with such high spirits.Thanks also for being so accommodating all my little surprises like learning the music so that Samantha could sing the first song, and sorry for not having time to sing Kiss From A Rose. I'm sure you would have nailed that too though. Wishing The Shooglers all the best for the future, I'll always happily recommend you to friends. "

"What a lovely bunch of chaps. We were worried when we were told that frontman Jeremy had been taken ill a few days before our wedding day. But thankfully Sam stepped in to save the day. All band members arrived on time, were super friendly and chatty, and put on a terrific show despite the frankly insane 30 degree heat of our wedding day. Sam even took the time to quickly learn a very special, unusual request that we'd asked the band to play, and he totally pulled it out of the bag. Thank you so much for trekking all the way to Surrey to play for us. "

"It's No Reel were absolutely fantastic! Tom made all of the pre-wedding arrangements very easy and he was very accommodating with our timings and choice of first dance. They were absolute pros from the start, the set up was seamless and they really had an amazing sense of the room and how to engage everyone. The music itself was fantastic and really filled the room creating such a wonderful ambience for the rest of the evening. We had guests that had never been to a ceilidh dance before and they loved it and found the instructions really easy to follow. We really enjoyed the little quirky Michael Jackson tribute in one of the dances and some of the interesting variations of the dances we had never done before. The mini disco at the end was also brilliant and completely on point with the music I had suggested. We would highly recommend It's No Reel!"

"Wanted something a bit cool for my 30th. Andy was recommended, but I was a bit put off by the Dinner suite/Vegas theme in his promo stuff. "No problem, of course - happy to do a bit of 'scruffy swing' if that's what you'd like! :) - Regular suit or jeans and a T Shirt?" Andy is very accommodating, professional, has an amazing voice and gave my transition from my twenties the coolest send off I could have hoped for. He even did swing versions of more contemporary stuff, like Wonderwall and Crazy little thing called love. Guests loved him and so did I. Awesome job mate. Thanks."

"Cannot recommend the good citizens enough! They played at our wedding last weekend and really got the crowd going! They ensured they played a mix of songs for all different music tastes, the energy was brilliant and so many guests approached us asking where we found them! We had a great dance and the crowd absolutely loved them, thankyou again from Mary & Vikram you were class!"
