"Kevin, Booke and the band were engaging, energetic and excellently executed every song performed. As a couple, our music taste is relatively contemporary and we felt through Funk Royale, we could have crowd pleasers to involve our family and friends, performed in wonderfully unique ways! They really delivered! We had so many positive comments about how unique the band was! To top it off, they created a musical medley for our first dance! Outstanding. "

"Motown Memories and Ione performed at our wedding in June 2022 and they were absolutely fantastic. Ione is a great singer and the band are superb musicians - there were great guitar solos. At the end of the evening and following the wedding, so many of our guests told us that they thought they were a great wedding band, and the dancefloor was full for the whole evening. They responded and reacted to the crowd expertly. The set list was a great selection of genres and decades, enjoyed by 3 generations. Rhona, the band manager, was great to deal with before the wedding - she asked us questions, she shared an example set list, and she arranged for the first dance to be played."

"Twelve tone were amazing! Such talented musicians, clearly committed to their craft. The lead singer Millie not only sounded fantastic (every note pitch perfect) she kept the crowd going, great stage presence (beyond her years) they cater for all genres of music. We also went to see them at a Jazz night in a bar in town… and wow they were sensational! They are super talented and have a very successful life ahead of them in the music industry!"

"Iris was absolutely fantastic! We had the pleasure of booking her services for Valentine’s Day at our restaurant, and everything turned out to be perfect. From her warm and inviting presence to her attention to detail, she made the evening unforgettable. The ambiance she created was magical, and every moment felt special. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to elevate their experience!"

"Fantastic performance by Murray Clarke, great variety of songs to suit all and to get our retired employees up singing and dancing. Lovely guy, brilliant singer. Would highly recommend."

"Hi Will, I have been meaning to do this for ages, but honeymoon, moving house and Christmas have all been crazy. Jen and I just wanted to say thank you so much for your performance at our wedding a couple of months ago. You guys were absolutely fantastic, and one of only two things that every single person I have spoken to since the wedding has commented favourably upon (the other being the bride!). Neither of us are dancers, so we were always going to do a lot more sitting than dancing, but I know our friends and family (including even my parents!) had an awesome time on the dancefloor. Is there anything we can do to help you guys? Anywhere we can leave a positive review or provide a quote for you to use in your advertising? Your set was immense and went down a storm with everyone! Alex and Jen"

"We recently had Ophelia perform at our ‘Day of the Dead’ party, and she was absolutely fantastic. Her combination of live vocals and trumpet created a brilliant atmosphere that everyone enjoyed. She brought great energy, engaged naturally with the guests, and delivered a performance that felt both professional and personal. We received so many compliments from our guests and would be delighted to book her again for a future event—especially a summer party if she’s available!"

"Absolutely amazing! Ione’s voice is incredible and they all bring so much energy and enthusiasm. On the lead up you want to be as stress-free as possible and Motown Memories took it all off our hands and delivered exactly what they promised & kept us all on the dance floor to the very end. Raving reviews from our guests. Must have band!!!"

"We hired Count Down To Swing for our summer wedding, and couldn't have been happier with them. They are super efficient and easy to communicate with, making the whole process of booking them really straightforward and stress-free. The band itself is just brilliant: all our guests said so and the dance floor was full throughout their set. They really made the event. Down for the Count are so friendly, accommodating, talented and professional that we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone! "
