"Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Mr P played at our wedding. Communicative throughout the process. In the night he was fantastic. Our guests loved it and we’ve had so many positive comments. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. "

"Fresh Duo recently played at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception. They were absolutely amazing, our guests are still talking about them! Stephen and Milka were such a delight to deal with, so friendly and professional. They put us at ease throughout the entire process and played our selection of pieces beautifully. We had to change our plans multiple times due to lockdown restrictions and Stephen and Milka were incredibly understanding and accommodating throughout. The music played by Fresh Duo was absolutely fantastic, we loved it. It was an honour to have such talented musicians at our wedding! Thank you!"

"Cello Magic was the perfect addition to our ceremony, adding sophistication and a personal touch to the day. Not only were we pleased, but many of our guests also commented as to how great it was to have live music. [Stockport Town Hall 29th March 2024)"

"Dear Anne, Thank you so much for your beautiful playing and for leading the orchestra for our rehearsal and concert on Saturday. Thanks too for being so helpful during the preparation process over the past few months and for all your emails and messages to players - it makes a real difference. It's such a treat for the choir to sing with orchestra and the singers seem to have really enjoyed themselves. A number of people (choir, soloists, audience) commented afterwards on how moving the 'Prayer for Ukraine' was. Looking forward to seeing you in December for the Vaughan Williams programme. Meanwhile, have a wonderful summer. With best wishes, Nicola "

"Great band and such lovely people. Had them at a recent house warming party, their retro music got everyone up on the dance floor! Reasonably priced too. Would recommend them."

"Just wanted to say huge thanks to you, Harriet and the band for making the event last night such a huge success. What is clear is my team never get tired of your band as the act – just brilliant! (We have booked the band six times since 2006!) "

"Five stars is not enough to give Richard. He delighted three generations of our family for hours, playing and singing a huge range of songs from across the decades, encompassing every genre of music. It became a game of 'Pick a song this guy can't play.' We lost. I can't recommend Richard highly enough, and would be hugely envious of his talent were he not such a nice guy. Already planning parties to book his services again. Thanks Richard."

"I would like to say that I feel privileged to have had Melisma performing at our retirement party. Everything about Melisma Jazz band was wonderful, they all looked very smart and professional and their performance was absolutley fantastic. Many asked where I had found them and others just thought I knew Sarah-Jane personally as she was so friendly! I cannot thank Melisma Jazz enough for making our event such a wounderful success, we will have lovely memories of the afternoon which seemed to end too soon - I just wanted them to play on and on! Thank you all so very, very much."

"This 5 star rated musical set up was incredible. I chose them deliberately as Josh and Nora were contemporary. They are flexible and will meet client needs. They were exceptional from booking to the event itself. Put simply, ordinary, yet incredibly talented lovely professional humans with the same wish as you. They will guarantee you a good time. In fact it’s better than good, it’s awesome. They will work with you. They will liaise with you and they will show you talent, musical mixology and DJ styling, producing floorfiller after floorfiller. The vocals are second to none from Nora, the energy she evokes, the same. Daisy, the saxophonist, is totally brilliant. My 50th party guests were incredibly complimentary about their energy, their drive and willingness to give you the time of your life. I was overwhelmed. If you don't believe me, book them to witness an incredible evening of dancing, partying and the feeling of - wow- what just happened! Highly recommend. Thank you Josh, Nora and Daisy for incredible sounds, vibes and an atmosphere like no other. I cannot wait for another event to secure you again. All the best, Nigel. (A very happy customer)"

"We were absolutely blown away with iain's talent - he made my friend's 40th birthday so much that she cries with happiness. Iain was personable and professional and a pleasure to have as a birthday surprise. We all had the best time! "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our night and the icing on the cake were the band. There was not a single song where guests weren't dancing. Just when you wanted to sit down and catch your breath another classic started up and you felt you couldnt miss out! The band set up without any fuss - we hadn't even noticed they had arrived - pretty seamless! We had so many friends say to us how fantastic W4S were. I don't think we could have picked a better wedding band. Thank you so much for making our big day extra special! Alexa and Gavin Step Wedding, Dillington House, Ilminster "

"Gareth did the live music for an annual bash that we organise at our home in Sykehouse, England. We saw him perform at The local restaurant in town prior (The Old George) and decided that his extensive repertoire and personable nature would be perfect us. Despite the rain during the outdoor event, Gareth delivered a great show to a very high standard and was patient enough to wait for the rain to stop so that we could have a great night. He is highly recommended for any type of private event that someone would be looking to organise. You will not be disappointed."
