"Amazing party band Our band unfortunately had to cancel just two weeks before our wedding. A friend pointed us towards Big Day Revolution and we were put in touch with James who runs the music. He informed us that most of the musicians he deals with were already booked. However, he offered to put together a custom band by combining other musicians he knows. We told him our requirements, and he was able to assemble a band that matched our needs perfectly - both in terms of the type of music and the instruments played. He showed us some demos and assured us that the the band would be equally good. We trusted him, and they exceeded our expectations. We were able to choose all the songs we wanted, and on the night of the Wedding, one of my bridesmaids surprised me by singing a Tina Turner song with the band. They were a pleasure to have there, very polite and professional. The dance floor was never empty. James put my worried mind at ease with fast responses. Clearly, he cares about his clients, gives attention to detail and goes the extra mile to deliver what is needed to create a successful wedding. Katie and Andrew"

"Ryan from JR Entertainments was amazing as he performed magic and DJ 'd at my 21st brithday party. He is very affordable and was so friendly and polite. His magic is mind blowing and every guest enjoyed it. The music was exactly my taste and everyone had a bit of a boogie. He was quick at setting everything up and was very accomdating when I needed to make a speech or when I asked him to put announcements out for food. I would recommend to anyone and are already planning on booking him again for my 30th birthday in 9 years time. Thank you so much!!!"

"I hired Chris on a recommendation by a friend. It was quite a task I set him but he rose to the challenge with aplomb..The concert required constantly changing sound requirements for a series of artists playing throughout the evening, ranging from solo singer/guitarist to 7 piece bands..Seamless changeovers!The venue was no picnic( acoustically speaking )but he got a great sound without blowing anyone’s ears out..Very attentive throughout the evening as well.In short I would recommend this outfit to anyone.Well done."

Super efficient set up and departure too - for the information for others booking you - this is a class act! xx Highly recommended!! M Sutton Director "

"This was my first time using Chris and it was for a musical theatre production of 'Godspell' at the Hasland Theatre. Chris came recommended by a friend of mine (Adam Parrish) after he did the sound engineering for a concert Adam had recently done with Gordon Giltrap. Well what can I say - Chris did an amazing job! He came along for a preliminary meeting with me where we looked around the venue, talked about the requirements for the show which included a live 4 piece band and 10 wireless headset radio mics. Chris then gave a full explanation of what equipment he thought was required to make a great sound within the venue, how much time he would have to dedicate to the project and from that came up with a quote for us. We confirmed it all over email and then it was just a matter of waiting for show week to roll around. This came at the end of March and Chris arrived with all the equipment he needed and got set up ready to go. It was great that the equipment he had was all digital and took up a very small amount of space and that he was able to control it all from his iPad at the back of the theatre, since there was literally no room for him to be anywhere else. Several of the band members commented on how great it was that Chris asked them before every show about their individual monitor mixes, if anything needed changing, if Chris needed to be aware of any issues from previous nights etc and are still talking about it now as something like that which seems really obvious and simple makes a huge difference to those playing and performing. Nothing was too much trouble for Chris even when I had to ask for some additional monitors to be placed on the stage as the actors were struggling to hear the musicians he just turned up with speaker stands and monitors and got them plugged in and ready for the following nights performance. Amazing! It is also important to note Chris's attitude throughout the entire process. Putting on a musical is an exceedingly stressful thing to do and I was having to think about a lot of things throughout the run, but Chris remained calm, level-headed and had a very calming presence which was commented on by several cast members and others within the creative team, which is just what you want in a high stress environment. He was great to work with and lots of laughs were had throughout the week amongst the whole team who he worked well with. A very quick and speedy break down and get out on the Saturday night wrapped everything up nicely. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into making our show sound amazing and we really cannot wait to be working with you again hopefully in the very near future."
