"When my husband and I celebrated our 50th birthdays we wanted a cool and sophisticated party, so we planned a summer party in a marquee in the garden. Joel and Ben created the perfect atmosphere playing their soulful jazz. Everyone thought they were amazing! I would thoroughly recommend them"

"Carousel were incredible – our guests are still commenting on them now – two weeks after the event. They were energetic and fun and they really made the evening do. BOOK THIS BAND – they are amazing, very friendly and professional, and a group of very talented musicians."

"Sometimes it’s difficult to know what band to hire for a specific event. Fortunately I had good reports from a close friend and went ahead and booked the Krakens. That was a great decoy. What I really appreciated was that the band listened to what I wanted and not only did they do that, they provided a completely set list possibilities together with the fact they could add or change at any time. The band on arrival were totally professional and friendly. We had a few timing issues on the night. They were completely flexible and they provided an excellent evening of live music. I have had many of my friends comment how the variety and sound was excellent. Certainly would highly recommend them for any function that requires a live music."

"If you do anything today, book Sounds of Brazil!!! We had them play at our wedding and they were out of this world. They got everyone dancing and are so so talented, we still have people who were at the wedding complimenting how amazing they are. We feel blessed to have come across them on last minute musicians. Just perfect. "

"I hired Blue Jewel Ceilidh band to play for my 60th birthday party at my local village hall. I had never heard them play before but going on previous recommendations I felt certain they would be okay. How right I was! Well, if fact they were more than okay - they were bandtastic! Their playing is brilliant and they created a fantastic atmosphere. Steve made sure he brought me and my husband and sons right into the swing of things, mentioning us by name whenever he could and he certainly made it feel like "my" party and not just any old party they might be playing at. There was quite a mix of ages, but everyone joined in with the dancing, (yes, even my non-dancing- unless-he's-had-a-few-pints, husband!!). Steve and his colleague were excellent callers and made the dances very easy and great fun. We are still laughing and talking about what a wonderful evening it was. I have no hesitation in recommending Blue Jewel. They will make your party go with a swing! "

"I approached The Grange Quartet to play at my fathers funeral playing for guests as they entered the church, they were absolutely perfect. True masters of their profession I have nothing but praise, it made such a solemn occasion truly beautiful. They also improvised when the organist missed a cue so really went above and beyond. I cannot recommend them highly enough."

"My hubby and I booked The Spectrum for our wedding this year. We originally booked another band around 9 months ago but they cancelled on us two months before our wedding. We nearly just booked a DJ and played it safe because we hadn't heard them live but once we listened to their demo's and saw the list of songs they choose from I knew they were the ones! Also speaking to James, one who sings, reassured us both and he was really helpful. It's clear that they have played for lots of weddings and understand how important it is to get things right! They played our first dance and from then on our reception was amazing! Everyone I spoke to commented on the band and how much fun it was. Plus some of my guests liked dancing with the guitarist on the dance floor when he was playing a solo! I would thoroughly recommend them and hope to see them at another wedding soon!"

"When we were looking for a band for our special day, we wanted something a bit different. We didn't want a run of the mill, middle of the road, pop and rock covers band, we wanted a real band with a great live sound. When we found The StereoBeats we were delighted. Their extensive & diverse repertoire gave our guests familiar songs they could dance to without sounding like a standard wedding band. They didn't just play a set of songs - they performed to our crowd and were a huge part of the success of our evening. They had everyone up dancing from the first note to the last and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Soul with a bit of an edge, great vocals and a tight rhythm section: very entertaining with a big selection of classic songs and plenty of modern gems. A great band if you want a party."

"Hi Marcus, It’s been a bit hectic since the wedding, so apologies for not getting in touch sooner. I just wanted to say a big thank you to you & the band for putting on such a great show at Northbrook Park for us. We thought you were absolutely amazing, and we can honestly say our night would not have been the same without you. It was fantastic… . We had so many comments regarding how good you guys were. Thank you once again. "

"These guys played at our wedding in early November this year, we saw them play at another wedding in London and booked them the next day and they did not disappoint for our day! Steve was great throughout the process and the band hands down made the night for us and so many people the feedback from our guests was unbelievable. We could not fault these guys, 5*, 100% if you need a band get these guys booked!!! Thank you for making our day one to remember!"
