"On behalf of myself and my wife Donna we would like to thank Partyzone for being absolutely perfect at our wedding at Vale Country Club in May! From initial communication to the set on the night everything was better than we could have imagined! When we booked the venue and then the band, the venue failed to inform us that they had a noise limiter, and on finding out about it and reading some reviews of the venue we were very worried the band would not be able to play, but for Partyzone is was no problem at all! Once set up they played a amazing set and any worries we had were forgotten about! Everyone loved the band and the dance floor was always full, our friends and family are still raving about the band now! The acoustic version of our first dance was just what we wanted! Also the DJ that Partyzone brought to play before and between sets was brilliant! We would definitely recommend Partyzone to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to use them again! Thank you so so much!"

"The 2023 Cosmetic Medicine Awards at the magnificent Culloden Estate in Holywood, Bangor, were graced with a spectacular musical showcase, headlined by the thrilling powerhouse that is jbmac live. Opening the esteemed event, jbmac live set the bar incredibly high with an indescribable energy that surged through the audience like an electric current. Infusing the evening with a blend of powerful vocals, impeccable instrumental synchronization, and an infectious stage presence, jbmac live demonstrated exactly why they were the chosen gatekeepers of the night's festivities. Their sound, a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of rock, pop, and soul, resonated perfectly in the grandeur of the Culloden Estate, ensuring that the ceremony commenced with the audience in high spirits. The synergy between jbmac live and the iconic bands Boyzlife and D-Ream further underscored the night's success. Not only did jbmac live support these legends with commendable finesse, but their unique flair also complemented the classic hits that had everyone reminiscing and celebrating in unison. It was a musical mosaic that painted the evening with strokes of nostalgia and contemporary verve."

"Finally getting round to saying an amazing thank you to The Funk House for their incredible set at our wedding! They were, as always, full of energy and had everyone dancing..... my heels came off by the second song! They even learnt our first dance song in less than 6 weeks and performed it perfectly with Sophie smashing the vocals. Thank you for helping to perfect our day ❤"

"I wanted to email you to let you know how fantastic the band were. The first dance was a magical moment and they were so upbeat, tight and fantastic. They judged the tone perfectly and made the whole evening. What a lovely group - we can't thank you enough. If I have any negative feedback for you, it is that the sample music/info that is available about this band does not do them justice, as we did not dream that they would be as brilliant as they were, which of course is the best sort of surprise you could hope for at your wedding."

"Testimonials The 515 crew led by the talented Shama, brilliantly supported by the evergreen Chirag & great entertainer Nimesh were awesome on 5th May at City Pavilion. We had Shama & her crew for the Engagement party where we had the best trio in music industry - Shama, Chirag & Nimesh play some superb tracks. Whether it is a mehfil or dance settings the talented group always excel with superb sing-along melodies. We have seen Shama & her crew perform so many times & every time they raise the bar with brilliant performances. The amazing thing is that each show is unique & diverse with all songs suited to the audience. Shama’s great versatility in arranging shows & entertaining the audience all year round with her sought after group gives us all an opportunity to enjoy music at its best- no matter what the occasion. Keep it up Shama & 515 crew. Thank you for entertaining us all music lovers. Best wishes - Praful & Kalpna Lakhani, City Pavilion, May 2019 Lot of feedback we received and everyone enjoyed the music a lot on 2nd August at The Hive. So did the families and all close relatives and friends. Thanks a lot for great performance and superb time, to you and the band. - Pradip & Jayshree, The Hive, London, August 2018 Having met Shama and the 515 Crew at a couple of events I photographed over he last 2 years, it was without question that we would be using them whenever we had a family event. Last weekend, my brother and I threw our parents a surprise 65th birthday party and I was super excited to have secured a booking for this auspicious occasion with the 515 crew and they most certainly didn’t disappoint!!! They arrived promptly to setup and worked within the limited space we had at our venue without any complaints. I asked Shama if the group would be able to play a handful of my dads favourite songs from the 70’s and 80’s era including Santana, Wilson Picket and James Brown and although it was material that they hadn’t done before, they took time to rehearse in the week and surprised us with their amazing delivery on the main night. My dad and guests were over the moon! I’ve had nothing but positive comments from our guests on the 515 Crew’s super professional musical ability and singing. Their Indian songs took our guests back into time and found it refreshing to hear some of the old bollywood songs with a modern and current feel. I really cannot express how delighted myself, my parents and our guests are with the 515 Crew. I dealt with Shama from the initial phone call to check on the teams availability and she’s always been a pleasure to deal with including on the night itself. I most certainly will be using them when we have another event and will be recommending them to my clients too! I genuinly thank you from the bottom of my heart. - Kam Parmar (Kreative Klicks Photography), Unity Hall, Barton, July 2018 ​ We wanted to personally thank you for a wonderful evening on Saturday! Everyone enjoyed your songs and had a great time! Thank you also for getting Sanjay out of his shell and onto the dance floor! Best wishes - Dipika and Sanjay, Venue 260, Luton, April 2018 ' We write to say Thank You for the entertainment at our charity event. Professional, versatile and with an extremely diverse repetoire, the music was enjoyed by all. Your music embodies character, emotion and power. You started the event on a strong note and, critically, ended on an even stronger note. You were able to exceed our requirements with finesse. I will be booking you again in the near future and would not hesitate to recommend the band to anybody enquiring. It was impressive how professional, you, Chirag and all the band have been from start to finish. We thank you again and hope you enjoyed performing for us as much as we enjoyed dancing for you!' With all best wishes, - Ladva Family, Campion School, Hornchurch, November 2017 ​ We had an absolutely amazing time and all the credit goes to you and the crew for your fantastic performance. It was a pleasure to listen to all those golden oldies and even more enjoyable to dance to them. You all kept the dance floor rocking and engaged and made it all so personal too. After all these years you are still the best. Everyone still talking about the great time they had. Thank you so much! - Darshana Parekh, St. John's Hotel, Solihull, August 2017 Just wanted to thank you again for last night it was a phenomenal performance despite the technological issues with the hall, everyone had an amazing time and couldn't stop raving about you! Please pass on my thanks to the rest of your team. You all rock! - Krishna Radia, Ladywood Estate, August 2017 Thank you so much to you and 515 for providing such fantastic entertainment during my mendhi night on Fri 21 July at Sattavis Patidar in Wembley. Each and every guest was so complimentary of you. Everyone commented on how engaging the band was. They loved the part where you asked me to join you for a song (although I'm fairly sure it was you they enjoyed!). My family from Chicago and St Louis was so impressed, they literally could not stop praising you. Apparently the talent in the US is not the same! We made the right choice when we selected you and your band. You guys are worth every penny. I would recommend you without any hesitation whatsoever. Wish you all the best going forward. - Nisha Patel, Sattavis Patidar Wembley, July 2017 I just wanted to send you a quick email to say a very big "Thank You" for the performance at our Dinner & Music Night on 22nd October in Woking to celebrate my wedding to Nashita!! You and the band were brilliant, everyone had a great time and they all keep telling us that the night was so much fun. I personally also want to say that you guys were more entertaining than I could have imagined. The choice of song you picked out for our 'first dance' was excellent as it really is one of my favourite songs! :) Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the band. I hope that we can see you and the band perform again some time in the future. Once again, from myself, Mum and Nashita, thank you for making our night special. - Chandresh Pankhania, The Lord Roberts Centre, Woking, Oct 2016 ​ Just wanted to say an absolutely massive thank you to you, the band and the DJ for yesterday. You guys all nailed it! I want to just re-live the night again to hear you guys. You really were fantastic and every time we see you I'm sure you all just get better and better! Still can't believe how many people you got up dancing between starters and mains, no one wanted to eat! Haha. I've heard only good things already about you guys and especially how you catered for everyones different genres and generations! It was great, so truly a big thank you from the bottom of both of our hearts. - Sundeep & Shivani Kapur , Ditton Manor, Oct 2016 ​ Thank you so much to you and your 515 crew for the stellar performance yesterday ! You guys rocked the house down for the older and younger generation! I loved your style, versatility in music to meet the needs of the audience. Thank you so much! Everyone enjoyed the party and the positive comments are still streaming through! I hopefully will see you again at the Lohana party. Shama your personality is infectious! All- I highly recommend these musicians! Totally awesome! - Mayuri Gandesha"

"We had an excellent Golden Wedding Anniversary celebration with Barn With Us. Everyone had an hilarious time dancing. Gordon our call master was so patient and friendly guiding us through the dances. It was lovely to have a lively professional band. Everyone said they would do it again - even the younger ones! Thank you to you all!"

"What can I say? If you are a fan of Irish music, instrumental or with vocals then Dermot and the rest of the amazing musicians are who you need to hire! They were an absolute joy and a pleasure to have play at my beloved father's wake. They are such lovely and friendly people as well as fantastic musicians with a vast array of instrumentation between them. They graciously accepted requests prior to the event and also from some of the guests. My dad would have absolutely loved it and it made a very sad day very joyful and comforting for everyone. Our guests commented on how wonderful they were and the pub staff as well. I highly recommend hiring Dermot and the gang for any event, not just a wake. Communication was excellent before hand and hiring Dermot and the band were the easiest part of the many arrangements that we had to make when organising our dad's funeral and a wake. We sincerely thank you and highly recommend you, The O'Brien family."
