"We can’t thank Dan & Mari enough for playing at our wedding. They were absolutely brilliant! From the first message to the big day, they were both super helpful and easy to communicate with. They created a fantastic playlist, which suited our wedding perfectly and they read the room so well to keep everyone entertained all day. If you’re looking for a duo for your big occasion, these are definitely the people for you! Thank you again!"

"Where to even start?! WOW! We’re honestly all still buzzing! What a night we all had on Saturday! Honestly, it was so, so special for us and you guys were the biggest part of that. I knew you were going to be amazing but you were amazing AND THEN SOME! It’s so lovely to hear that you were all loving life too – that means a lot! I just can’t thank you enough personally for all of your help and advice in the lead up to the party – you’ve been so helpful, accommodating and reassuring the whole time and just been so nice to be in touch with! It’s been such a pleasure! And again on the day you were a complete star and took so much work away from us as we literally didn’t have to worry about you guys – you had it all in hand, even the clearing up – naughty! Haha! Please pass on our sincere thanks to Dale and the whole band who are all so super talented, and so super fun! They absolutely made our night! I had high expectations and they smashed them! I have to give a shout out to our singers, I mean how incredible were they?! So much charisma and sass- I think I’m actually obsessed with them haha! Not forgetting the Swing Singer and Quartet you also provided. Amazing! Thanks for making it such a special night for us and our guests – you knocked all of our socks off! We will absolutely be recommending you to anyone and everyone and wouldn’t hesitate to book you guys again for any future event that we’re having. You should all be so proud of the overall package you provide as a band – it’s unique and it’s special. THANK YOU for everything. I’m so sad this is all over so let’s just say, until the next time…! ? All the very best, xx "

"Ryan and Jenny played our festival wedding in July 2023. They stepped in at the last minute when a band we had booked previously cancelled. They were brilliant from the start. Jenny was responsive to all communication and immediately put us at ease. They took into account the type of music we said we liked and reflected this in our set list. They let us use their microphone for speeches during the interval. Can’t say enough good things about the Canny Sound. They really helped make our wedding and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again."

"What a fantastic evening, this was our second French night at Loch & Quay . This one well and truly topped it and left every single customer happy with the food and all the entertainment . Muriele's voice was one of the best we've had at our venue and we can't wait to have her back here to sing for us and all our customers. Very talented performance and we wish you the very best with all your future gigs. Best wishes and thank you From Loch & Quay ( Kemal)"

"I just want to say Thank you for your playing on Saturday your were excellent, everyone loved you playing. I really appreciated you staying as well. It was lovely meeting you. Thank you once again." "I hired Rory The Saxophonist for my 60th Birthday garden party. Right from the start I knew I’d got the right person. I was very impressed by his quick response to my e-mails, his attention to detail, he put everything we had discussed in a show advance agenda, so immediately I was aware of the itinerary. He provided his repertoire and I chose a list of tunes I wanted him to play. His choice of songs was very eclectic. On the day of the party, Rory arrived by public transport, in plenty time to set up, he had asked me if there was a dress code and dressed accordingly. He brought, a mic, saxophone, shakers, whistles, and DJ set for between sets. Rory made myself and my guests very relaxed, the day was chilled out, fun and uplifting. Rory dazzled us with his skills on the saxophone. Rory also mingled with the guests in between sets. I would definitely recommend Rory for any function. We will definitely book him again. What a fantastic day, made all the better having Rory play. Party date 10th August 2024. Thank you Gwen" Gwen, Private Party, Rory @ Private House, Rawtenstall, Lancashire, August, 2024"

Hi Gwen, Thank you very much for this! It’s perfect. I would like to once again thank you for the opportunity. I loved playing at Zara’s house and meeting you all. It really was fabulous. I send you my warmest wishes, and I look forward to hopefully being in touch about New Year’s Eve, or indeed any other special events and occasions! 🎶 All the best, Rory

"Really good experience with Eccentric Pony playing at our wedding party. Jimmy liaised closely with me throughout the process about the timings, song list, first dance etc. Very reassuring about the first dance, which we were quite nervous about! On the day they turned up on time and were ready to go at the time we planned for, we actually kept them waiting, sorry! They are excellent musicians and the 3 sets couldn't have gone better. The dancefloor was full whenever they played and they really got the atmosphere going. They kept the party going with DJ sets between and after their band sets. We would highly recommend them and would definitely consider them for future parties. Thanks guys for making our wedding such a good party! Karthi and Rachel."

"Mark was excellent; we left him to decide what to play and when and he judged it perfectly, keeping a low profile to begin with while people mingled and chatted then gradually stepping up the pace. When he was in full swing the everyone was up dancing and singing and it was an absolute riot. Most of our guests came to us and asked how we found him and said how the thoroughly enjoyed the music. Some said best party ever - we were absolutely thrilled and enjoyed ourselves tremendously."

"Thank you to the Fiddlestix Band for an awesome evening of entertainment. The band joined us for a big birthday with 100 guests from ages 2 to 80 years. The music was infectious and they really set the tone for an evening of joy and laughter. The caller was great and the music in between sets was lovely (boy that lady has a voice!). Highly recommend xx Kim"
