"We were truly amazed by the wonderful performance Laura and her fantastic pianist put on for our private event. Booking was super easy - we had a call to discuss some must-haves which Laura kindly included, and Laura also very kindly noted all the anecdotal detail I shared and built this into the performance, making it feel so special and thoughtful. They arrived perfectly on time to set up, were super professional yet approachable, and thankfully were able to extend the booking because we were not ready for them to leave! Laura’s voice is truly captivating and magical, and I am certain that we will have her singing at one of our events in the future. Thank you for setting the tone for our evening, and providing the most delightful and inspiring backdrop to the event."

"Black Velvet Band Ceilidh Trio – Judy and Jenny’s 80th Birthday Party – February 2026 We found Black Velvet friendly, professional and very talented musicians. Communication ahead of time was prompt and helpful, and on the day they arrived on time and set up discreetly. The music was enjoyed by everyone, a room full of smiles and laughter. Just what we wanted. Thank you for making our 80th birthday celebration so memorable. Would heartily recommend."

"The Wigornia String Quartet added a touch of impeccable class to our country wedding! They are truly exceptional musicians, they were extremely good value for money, and they were very accommodating in playing arrangements of some bespoke pieces which we requested. They are beautiful musicians and very low maintenance, perfectly understanding the requirements of a traditional wedding ceremony and reception. Very highly recommended! Thank you so much for being a central part of our special day!"

"Where do we even begin? It's always a daunting prospect hiring a band for an event as its the one thing that people remember. Well let me tell you the amount of praise I have received or comments asking who is this band is has been through the roof. Any little query I have had they answered, I had phone calls to make sure everything ran smoothly and it meant I didn't have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day! Including changing our first dance song which they sang live 4 days before. We had Kiki as a Duo for our day reception and the 5 piece band on the night. I can't rave about them enough - song choices made everyone from young and old feel included! They also took song requests mid singing?! Thank you to every single one of you that made our day so special to us and kept our dance floor full all night! The band was incredible and Kiki your voice is beautiful and wish all of you the most successful future. Special thanks to the mumager for sending us all your videos and images of the day so we can cherish behind the scenes footage forever."

"We booked Carlo to play at our wedding and he was absolutely incredible! He set the perfect tone during our drinks reception, creating a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere that all our guests commented on. Later in the evening, he joined the DJ on the dance floor and completely transformed the party, the energy was amazing, and the mix of live sax with the DJ had everyone dancing all night. Carlo is not only a talented musician but also a true professional, easy to work with, flexible, and passionate about making the day special. We honestly couldn’t recommend him enough for anyone looking to add that extra spark to their event!"

"We booked Simon for a gig at The Chieftain, and we’re so glad we did! He is a very talented musician with a fantastic voice, and a fun, friendly personality to go with it. He’s an overall crowd pleaser and we’ll definitely be booking him again soon. In short, if you want a night of great acoustic entertainment… Book Simon!"
