"A rather large portion of our guest list was made up of professional musicians and West End musical theatre performers. So, trying to find a band that could make an impression on such a crowd was always going to be a challenge. After trawling through endless sound clips on the internet, we had not found a band that even came close. Then one click later, the voice of Cherie Gears somehow managed to fill the room, even through the tiny speakers of our laptop. The next day, we had our band booked. And what a band! This is a band that's so good they had the dance floor full on their sound check! Turns out we had nothing to worry about, every one of our guests loved the music and they were not shy in telling us so. You guys really did over deliver and we couldn't recommend you highly enough. Cannot wait for the opportunity to book you guys again!"

"I would highly recommend this band. I hired them for my 50th birthday party, watched a video clip and thought they sounded great. I was not disappointed! From the moment they played the first song, they had my family and friends dancing, the dance floor was full all night, everyone said the band made the night! They were punctual, friendly and they sounded fantastic. I’m so pleased I hired them and would definitely hire them again. Thanks all, you made my birthday, can’t thank you enough! "

"I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for everything you guys did for our big day!! The band were absolutely incredible and had everyone up dancing the whole night!! The whole day was everything we hoped for and more and everyone we spoke to commented on how brilliant the band were - both as a 3piece in the day and as a 5piece at night! I just wanted to dance all day!! :) By far the best decision we made for the wedding and we can't thank you enough! You have been fantastic throughout - from our initial enquiry to the big day and we would definitely recommend you to anyone! So thank you, thank you, thank you!! I just need to find another reason now for a big party so we can book you guys again!!"

" Brilliant Birthday Band Private Function, St Albans on Saturday 20 April 2024 Wow, what a night ! Absolutely brilliant band, what a stand out evening we had! Everyone commented on how fantastic the band was and the venue - just perfect. All were excellent musicians and three ladies on lead vocals ensured everyone "got down" to the music. Also, loved they way they entered into the spirit of the party with the guitarist and vocalist coming into the crowd at one stage and playing/singing with the crowd whilst we were dancing. So thank you Uptown Funk for making sure we all had an absolutely awesome birthday event. PS organising and discussing the plans for the evening was a breeze thanks to Keith's advise and experience - couldn't have been easier. Duncan, Monday 29 April 2024"

"I wanted to say a BIG thank you for playing at our wedding drinks reception on Friday, you were amazing and all of our guests loved you as much as Billy and I did. I could hear your renditions from the other side of the bar and I knew instantly you were a huge hit! I even have my guests asking how they can book you. Thank you again, you were the perfect addition to our big day! "

"Hired The Black Marcs as a surprise for my sister and her husband’s 25th wedding anniversary. We were looking for something special but small enough to accommodate an intimate garden party of 30 and they exceeded our expectations. They were friendly and professional from start to finish. Their song list was perfect for our party with people aged 15-83 and had everyone singing along and up dancing. My sister’s only criticism was that they had to leave. ?It made a special occasion one we will never forget. Would recommend them to anyone and would definitely hire them again. Great value for money too. Thanks again ☺️"

"I booked Moon River for a medical conference dinner to play during the drinks reception and a formal three-course dinner. They were extremely professional to deal with at every level, as well as being flexible and reliable. The sets they played were varied, some songs being very modern adaptations and others traditional, and were delivered to a very high musical standard. I received many compliments about the occasion and would definitely recommend Moon River to others."
