"We loved having Jam Duo play on our wedding day! It was the perfect atmosphere for our wedding breakfast. We'd chosen songs that were the first dances of our family members and so many of them came up to us later in the day saying that they'd had a special moment hearing their song played so beautifully. They were also very flexible around timings when we had some last minute changes to the order of our day, which was really appreciated. Would highly recommend!"

"The emeralds were absolutely amazing. Having them there made the day that much special. Everyone loved the steel band and had people up and dancing. From the shirts to the song choices, everything was just so great. We want to say thank you from all of us and bringing so much fun to the wedding. I would highly recommend The Emeralds to anyone planning on having a steel band. Thank you again. Nathan"

"Mike played for my partners 50th Birthday Party in Chester in December 2022. We had a Marque in the garden - yes a Marquee in the middle of December - crazy I know, but it was fun! Leading up to the Party I listened to a number of artists but as soon as we went over to listen to Mike play 'live' in one of the bars in Liverpool we knew he was just what we were looking for. From the first point of contact with Mike he very much impressed us both with how polite he was with all his communication and he was also so flexible with our requests. He provided his own equipment on the night and played a range of music to suit all guests. Our guests were up and dancing straight away and all thoroughly enjoyed the evening. We would have no hesitation in highly recommending Mike."

"Kat performed at our wedding last year and was a beautiful addition to our reception. From our first contact, she was happy to accommodate with any songs we requested. I have always loved the way Kat puts her own bluesy style to any song she covers and her warmth shines through."

"The musician was really talented however did not play the music requested so killed the entire vibe of the party. It was a party and we requested upbeat music alongside DJ but she used her own speaker and mellowed tunes... everyone obviously left the dance floor at this point and had to remind her of the request. She struggled with our requirements despite us being very specific on booking and even noted specific times on contract booking, did not fulfil contract and waste of £550"

Dear Hayley Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent event. I take all reviews seriously, as they help me improve my services, and I appreciate the opportunity to address some inaccuracies in your comments. The full fee you paid was £459, I understand that you felt the music selection did not align with the upbeat atmosphere you envisioned. However, I want to clarify that I arrived well-prepared with a curated playlist that included the specific tracks you requested, such as "Rebel Music" and "Ibiza Classics." Additionally, during our initial conversation, I offered to incorporate lively pop songs like "Havana," "Rather Be," and "Cheerleader" to enhance the party vibe. I left out your request to play Andrew Lloyd Webber/Starlight Express as I felt it didn’t align with the style of your event. Regarding the DJ sound levels, these were extremely loud throughout. I strive to maintain an enjoyable volume throughout my performances. While you noted that the dance floor, it was empty upon my arrival and throughout the ibiza classics with DJ last 30 minute set. I appreciated the positive feedback from many guests which indicates we’re enjoying my performances. As the event progressed, I was attentive to your requests, including the unexpected addition of a dhol drummer for the second set. I performed the "Morni" provided the Bollywood track to the DJ and performed alongside the DJ and which successfully energised the dance floor. I also addressed the issue with my electric violin volume being turned down by DJ immediately after he received feedback from guest complaining he couldn’t hear it! The booking was to perform 3x 30 minute sets I stayed on the dance floor except two 15 minute breaks and performed throughout the 2 hour duration. I made repeated requests to the DJ to play "Ibiza Classics," in line with your preferences, and I took swift action to address all requests throughout the night. The DJ consistently played track’s that were impossible for a violinist to play over such as Milkshake by Kelis. My goal is always to create memorable experiences for my clients, and I have consistently received positive feedback for over 20 years !

"Thank you so much for playing at my mum’s burial a couple of weeks ago in Hethe. I hadn’t considered before the service how quiet it would have been without music, and your playing supported the ceremony beautifully. Thank you for beautiful playing, and for your great sensitivity to the occasion, it was much appreciated by all the family. We are so lucky to have wonderful friends in Thomas and Kristina who thought to support us in this way. "
