"Sorry it's taken soooooo long to get in touch - we've just got back from our honeymoon. Just reporting in to say a massive big fat thank you to Partydown - Oh My Lord, they were absolutely sensational, everybody and I mean EVERYBODY has said how totally fantastic they were. The boys are brilliant and I wouldn't hesitate in booking them again, total quality, there was no-one sat down! "

"Just WOW🤩 Super star! Kiki brought the party to my charity fundraiser ‘Share to Care’ held at the beautiful Tipis at Riley Green Last Night! Nothing was too much for her, absolutely fantastic acoustics and vocals, excellent musician, could not recommend enough! From a nice tranquil beautiful acoustic entrance to a lively up beat dance floor later on(that was never empty may i add), what a fab night we all had! All for great causes and everyone left the event feeling electric ❤️🫶🏼🍾💃🏼 Thankyou soo much! Xx"

"Absolutely incredible, Starlet Beat made the best day of our lives even better! Since our wedding a month ago we have continued to receive comments from guests about how brilliant the band were. Everyone was dancing for the whole night! Karen was great at communicating before the event, taking onboard all our suggestions and including them in either the band's set or DJ sets in-between. She offered to perform our first dance song and the band learnt and played it brilliantly. We were an hour late getting to the dancing from some overrunning speeches but the band were not only remarkably good natured about this they were also really accommodating, fitting the full sets in a shorter time so we still got the full amount, even though we expected to be cut short as it was us running late. We cannot thank you enough! The music was so well arranged and performed with brilliant back-to-back medleys and something for everyone; we didn't leave the dance floor while they were on! So glad we had the full 8-piece lineup too because it was so good. I can't gush enough about how brilliant they were and the wedding card we found when we got back from honeymoon was also such a sweet touch. Book them! You won't regret it. We are already trying to work out whether we can afford an anniversary party as an excuse to have them back...Thank you, thank you, thank you! xxx"

"We chose southwest band because they where a brilliant array of collective music choices and we especially loved the rock music choices. They had presence and the front man was brilliant at getting everyone up on the dance floor and getting the crowd going. They were brilliant just wish we could get married again so we could have them again at our wedding but we shall have to go and see them instead. Thank you from Rachel and David Burridge x"

"The Jam Beats performance was excellent and all feedback received from guests has been very positive. An enjoyable day that ended with a live performance from 4 very talented people. Arrived at the time they stated and were well organised, no fuss or bother especially as there were people in and around the room from the day’s events. Very friendly at all times and professional, sound was great and not too loud, great for dancing to. Definitely worth the money! The quality of their performance and the enthusiasm as they played was great!"

"Hello James On the 28th December 2012 you attended our civil partnership ceremony for Kate and I at the Woodside in Kenilworth. These are the words that I would echo regarding the ceremony, which you were part of. When we set about choosing our nighttime entertainment for our ceremony we wanted a band that would appeal to all, would have a sense of fun and get people up and dancing. We watched you on YouTube and read your reviews, which impressed us. We were always confident that we had chosen well. We would like you to know that we were very impressed by your professionalism throughout the booking process and on the night itself. Judging by the numbers on the dance floor, it was obvious that you entertained us all very well. Kate and I would like to thank you very much for making it all effortless but above all making our celebrations perfect. We cannot recommend you highly enough. Kind regards. Louise and Kate Civil Partnership, Kenilworth, December 2012."

"We were delighted with Soulcentric performance at our wedding in May 2016. Cool, contemporary and very talented, the band were central to making the evening one big party, which is exactly what we wanted. The band were full of energy and appeared to be enjoying themselves as well, even performing a second encore completely off the cuff, as our demanding guests were loath to let them leave. One of our guests enjoyed it so much they were considering cancelling their own wedding band and booking Soulcentric instead. The band were very accommodating with requests, going out of their way to play a first dance song that isn’t part of their usual set list. The band were easily contactable ahead of the date to answer queries and were punctual and professional on the day itself. Our only regret is that we don’t have another event we can book them for. Highly highly recommend."

"100% recommended! Do not hesitate to book this band - stop searching now as you have found the band for your wedding! Southwest Band recently played at our wedding in Suffolk and they were fantastic. Everyone was blown away by their talent, song selection and rapport with the crowd. The communication on the run up to the booking date was excellent. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Thank you guys! 5*"

"Absolutely fantastic! The Back Beat Buskers were amazing from start to finish . Tom, lead singer and musician and James on lead guitar were fabulous musicians who entertained our party all night. The band was a surprise for our son who was absolutely delighted with them . Our guests loved the set list which was spot on for the age range and which suited all music tastes . Tom and James were professional, talented, friendly and eager to please the crowd . I would not hesitate in booking them again in the future and I will be recommending them to my friends and work colleagues . Nothing was too much trouble ! Thank you so much for making our celebration a night to remember! "

"Thank you so very much for playing such a storming set at our wedding reception. The band were all great and the DJ set kept people dancing and the mood buoyant between sets - superb. All the photos of the night show a full dance floor which is what we wanted - excellent. Everyone had a great time. Goo Goo Dolls: Iris - Not an easy opener I know but you did us proud! I have been a fan of the Dolls since 1999, been to see them twice and its been a special song for Ceri and I for many years. You did a cracking cover for us. You made our night so special and I cannot count how many positive comments we have had about the set you played. You really made our reception so special to us. Two of our friends are getting married over the next year/18 months, they were there and all asked about you - your details have been passed on. Thank you once again."

"What a amazing evening last night with Modern Vintage playing at the village pub for my 70th! A truly fantastic band that had everyone rocking. Even the reluctant dancers made it onto the dance floor! Great musicians with great voices but one of the best things for us was being able to select the playlist from their repertoire so enjoyed every single track. We chose a range of songs from the 50s to the present day. Can thoroughly recommend this band which should be much better known across the South West! Thankyou for a wonderful evening. "

"Fantastic set. The flute beat boxing pulled me in from way over the other side of the camp site. Couldn't quite believe it was live until close up. Greg Pattilo eat your heart out! Made my day, thanks for coming!"
