"We booked Celtic Duo through Sarah-Jane and the service was faultless from start to finish. Communications in booking were great. The Celtic Duo themselves were great - fantastic musicians and we couldn't have asked for more! David was great at ensuring we got what we wanted from them. Our guests thought they were great and set the atmosphere perfectly."

"The Tzigauners played at our 2016 fundraising ball and were just fabulous. They are very talented and accomplished musicians who added more than a touch of class to our event. I certainly recommend them for adding refinement to any event and expect I will use them again myself. Being such well mannered and considerate musicians I think they are particularly well suited to corporate or formal events during arrival drinks and dinner or day time lunches as they are great at softening the mood."

"Dave played at my 30th birthday party and he genuinely made the night. He was so organised before the party and on the day was a dream! He’s not only talented but so lovely too and even let me use his speakers! My friend even wanted to hire him for her wedding, but he’s unavailable (no surprise as he’s amazing). The only thing I wanted for my birthday was a sax player and Dave really gave me the best birthday present by playing. Thank you so so much, can’t wait to organise another event just so you can play again!"

"John was very punctual, he turned up early to set up. He is a very talented singer & everyone commented on that. His song choices were brilliant & he even allowed requests from guests. He was just a singer but also an entertainer, he made people laugh & was so professional throughout. The feedback I got from the guests was amazing- John was the true professional & an excellent performer. I would definitely recommend to everyone."

"Monica was outstanding and very professional. From speaking with us prior to the event to learn the kind of music we wanted to arriving in plenty of time knowing that we would be busy as the event started. In terms of performance, this was also brilliant. She engaged with the crowd and got them up and dancing which was the first time this had happened in our bar since the Covid pandemic. We would highly recommend her and will be welcoming her back to The Bar very soon thats for sure "

"I booked the quartet to play at my nan's 80th birthday party and they were perfect! They were incredibly communicative and accommodating in the planning of the event, arrived promptly and waited patiently whilst we herded the guests. The repertoire was exactly what we were looking for - jazz and swing classics that my nan and our family enjoyed dancing to. A most excellent time was had by all! The standard of musicianship was of an excellent quality - the demo clips on the site are truly representative of the performance you can expect. Five stars all round "

"As 1st time attendees, we had a super fun time! The caller gave clear instructions and several of the club members (gentlemen in kilts) provided hands-on guidance. Music was great!!! Thanks for a memorable evening. "

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the amazing service you provided at our wedding on Saturday. The standard was superb and the dance floor was packed all night! From the youngest to the oldest guest, they all loved the band and we had so many positive comments about how great you were. You worked around the fact that our timings were also slightly later than anticipated! You created the perfect party atmosphere. "

"The Kindred Collective are one of the best bands to grace my stage in the last 5 years. Fact. Cath, as with most great, 'small' singers has a power that belies her size and blows your socks of when you first hear her, combined with a control and vocal range that are truly impressive and a joy to listen to. Her effortlessly cool voice sits perfectly balanced on top of Ben and Joe's backing, and what a sound they make. In 20 odd years in the music industry, I've rarely seen 2 people connect more on stage and be so creative with their instrumentation and arrangements. They make stripped back drums and acoustic guitar feel like you're listening to a 5 piece band, through some of the smoothest, funkiest, most head bobbing-est playing I've seen in a long time. Hugely engaging to watch on stage, they put a smile on every face in the audience without fail. I could watch 'em all night."

"Our wedding was perfect and my wife and I owe a huge thank you to Shakers Gold for playing a big part in this. The rendition of the first dance was excellent, as was the whole set. Kept people dancing while not being overpowering and adjusted to late timing changes without difficulty. True pros and superstars.Thank you"
