"Above and beyond expectations. I gave them a clear brief and they performed superbly to 44 of my 80th birthday party lunch guests. Ready to start well before the allotted time. Excellent group and everyone enjoyed their eclectic mix of jazz. We would certainly recommend them and would use them again willingly. "

"Radio Dukes played at our wedding on 23rd October helping us out of a huge whole when our chosen band had to pull out due to covid two days before. We did not know what to expect other than the videos online. They were beyond our expectations nothing was too much trouble & the dance floor was packed from start to finish. All the musicians were superb & we have had so many comments from guests of how great the band were. Do not hesitate to book these guys they will not disappoint. Highly recommend!"

"We recently hired Oliver to play at our wedding and from start to finish he was absolutely fantastic. We had some very specific requests for our day which Oliver catered to perfectly offering over and above the service I expected. He has an amazing voice and is a joy to watch and listen to! We even asked him to put on an extra set after he had finished playing due to how much our guests were enjoying him perform. Thankyou so much Oliver; you helped make our day perfect :)"

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you, every single one of our guests have commented on how brilliant you guys were at the wedding! I didn't think that you were going to perform the first dance song (Elbow) so it was a big surprise and incredibly touching and made it extra special. Thank you so much. "

"Free Spirit are just amazing!! They played at my party and I couldn’t have asked for better. From day one of booking right through to the event, they made it all so easy. They were happy to play my playlists in between sets and were so helpful. The band played great music and got the dance floor filled. Highly recommend them!!"

Hi Clare, Many thanks for your kind words. We really enjoyed playing at your party and loved the enthusiasm from some of the dancers (yourself included). That enthusiasm feeds the band. Thank you for booking us. If you attend any of our local gigs, say hello, you're an official FreeSpiritee 😀 So glad we helped make your night a night to remember. Many happy returns, you look good on it. Rob.

"East Yorkshire Harpist was an absolute highlight for us on our wedding day back in December 2019. From the first time we spoke, she was extremely professional and helpful, offering song ideas and giving advice on timings. Although neither Mark nor myself had the chance to speak to East Yorkshire Harpist on the day, we were both so impressed with the beautiful music she played and received many a positive comment from our guests. It was a truly magical experience to have East Yorkshire Harpist play me down the aisle, and I would highly recommend her. Thank you once again for playing your part in making our day perfect. Lisa and Mark x"

"Our daughter got married last year, and we asked Sandeep to play Sitar, Sareengi, and Tabla for the reception party. We are very pleased with Sandeep and his team. They arrived at the venue on time and played traditional and contemporary music on their Sitar, Sareengi, and Tabla. All our guests, old and young, were mesmerized by their music. The whole team was very courteous, polite, and well-mannered. We are especially pleased as this wedding was originally planned for 2021 and we booked Sandeep for August 2021. But with the pandemic, we had to move the date and year from 2021 to 2022, and Sandeep kept the new date available for us. He kept in touch with us during the pandemic. We recommend Sandeep and his team for any function and wish them all success with their music."

"I cannot recommend Bowfiddle Strings highly enough. Their trio performed during our church ceremony and our garden reception, and it was stunningly beautiful. Their wide repertoire from classical to modern created such a magical atmosphere that really made the day. They were incredibly professional and a dream to deal with - a huge thank you for making our day so special."
