Review Centre: Christmas Bands

"We just wanted to let you know how amazing Uptown Groove were at our wedding on Sunday. They got everyone up dancing and were perfect for the atmosphere we wanted - and so talented too. We've had so many positive comments about them and will definitely be recommending them to anyone who is looking for a band for an event"

"Thank you so much. We honestly had the best day despite the weather and running behind schedule... We absolutely loved the band. Rya and Rachel did the most amazing job. Both are super talented and I thank them so much for for entertaining our guests and singing the most beautiful first dance song for us. We wanted to apologise for being delayed. The weather impacted our photos outside being delayed and then food took some time between courses for 160 guests and it impacted when the band came on. Would you mind asking the band what time they came in at and ended at? We are trying to piece timings all together for our own reference as we would love to tell friends going towards ideas on how NOT to be so delayed. We would have loved more time with the band as they were just amazing but sadly with an outfit change we had to sneak off the last 20/30 min of their performance. I also wanted to check the food was okay for the band? We had good feedback for our food so I just wanted to check they were all looked after, and nobody was missed etc. Andrew and I are heading to the south of France this week and we will sit down hopefully on a beach with a cocktail and work through all of our reviews. We will absolutely be giving Indigo Charm 5*! Thank you again all so much ♥️. "

"What an incredible band, we had them play at our wedding and can I say they didn’t disappoint. With such a wide range of music and different genres there is something for everyone. Would use them again 100% amazing."

"I first encountered The Tuning Forks fairly recently, at a 200 capacity independent venue in the Strathbungo area of Glasgow. I was there as House Audio Tech and it was one of those nights where before the soundcheck had even commenced, I had a sense that something pretty special was about to happen. The individual tones they delivered during soundcheck were staggeringly rich and I knew that once the faders were at unity and the ensemble played as a unit that my initial instinct had to be correct. I was NOT prepared for the emotive, playful and dare I say, danceable set which we were treated to. Like an organism made of limbs that mostly supported each other without obstruction, ego or flashiness, but with occasional forays into wild and feral territories; always as a unit and simultaneously bubbling like a pot on the stage with sudden bursts of joyous phrase manipulation or flurries of individual hyper-expression that always teased and never outstayed their welcome. I was left shellshocked and almost lost for words immediately following their performance. Frivolity, lullabying, romance, questing, struggle, sadness, ecstasy and introspection seemed to come like waves from the stage but, the overall feeling was that the explorations I was witness to were a fun and gentle love letter to the magic of the life experience. In summation… There are very few artists that inspire me to lower my inhibitions enough to literally ASK to work with them again as soon as possible… but that’s exactly what was called for!"

"Very many thanks to you and W4S. Absolutely everyone has said how good you are (in the most glowing of terms) – and we mean absolutely everyone. We expected everyone to be a bit jaded by the end of the night. Especially after going since 11 in the morning. But to have everyone up dancing all evening and still shouting for more when we had to close was brilliant. Please can you pass on our thanks to the rest of the band including your DJ. Best regards, Dawn and Bob, Bride and Groom, Marquee Wedding, Kingswood, July 2015."

Thank you! We enjoyed our afternoon and you looked after us all with tea and cake which was much appreciated, as were the leftover cakes given to us at the end! Jane

"The quartet played beautifully throughout, adding so much to the day. We especially enjoyed listening to the gorgeous Dorchester string quartet while we waited for the bride and later while we drank champagne in the sun. Arriving in good time to make an early start and playing until we were ready to eat. True professionals. Thank you all so much. "

"Absolutely INCREDIBLE!! Would highly recommend to anyone booking a wedding or event. A group of amazingly talented women who kept the dance floor full ALL night!! They were beyond wonderful and the best band I’ve heard and seen perform for a very long time! 🙌🏼 xxx"

"What a great act! Several people really felt a fight had broken out and were worried – Luckily I knew better and of course not only were they relieved to hear the singing but people really loved it. It was right to choose the songs we did as quite a few people knew the operas and the young who often didn’t enjoyed hearing them as well. Several people told me they felt you all have lovely voices and asked how we found you so you never know it might led to more work. Hope so. But from both Stephen and me many many thanks for providing such a fun experience and a lovely reminder for Stephen [and others] of why they like opera so much."

"Ciro was the best entertainer I've seen in a long time. Everyone was up and dancing and it was the perfect addition to our party. He's a brilliant performer and all of the guests were talking about him after. Definitely recommended !! "
