"Shay Shay is an amazing artist. Her creativity transforms old ballads into rythmic contemporary hits, and her authenticity makes popular tunes seem like philharmonic masterpieces. She is that artist you can hire to play for the most discriminating audience who has seen and heard the likes of everybody famous. Seriously; she is that good. I confidently recommend her not just for her exhilarating entertaining capabilities, but also for her professionalism and high music business acumen. She understands the mission and delivers dynamic performances across varying genres ever so cleverly. Book her for your next gig. Thank me later. Simone C Manager Sandy Island Enterprises "

"We were so impressed with the band. They were patient with us as we struggled to follow instructions. We had around 30 children. They were adaptable to the situation in front of them. They had everyone up and dancing. Really enjoyed them and yes we'd book them again."

"The boys set the perfect tone to get the day started, easy listening jazz and funk music. All out guests commented how great they were and how they hit the tone of the party perfectly. Very easy to deal with and professional. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. Ben "

"Absolutely amazing!! We hired Mariachi Las Valentinas for a Mexican Day of the Dead party and were totally blown away by the quality of the music and the talent of the musicians. They really made the party go with a swing, and played a really good mixture of fast songs that had the audience up and dancing, and some slower songs that gave people a chance to catch their breath. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, they brought so much joy to our party - more than happy to personally recommend if there's anyone out there in two minds about whether to book them, just contact us via thephoenixgarden.org and we'll give you any extra details you need. Totally brilliant and we just can't thank this wonderful band enough - we had so many comments from local families who attended the event and told us how much they enjoyed the music. It almost felt as though we'd got some old friends to come and perform for us. If you're thinking of music for your party we'd wholeheartedly recommend Mariachi Las Valentinas - just please don't book them for any Day of the Dead events, because well be needing them again!!"

"A fantastic band indeed who have worked hard and over many years to achieve the level of technical sophistication which deserves their international reputation and many awards! Guaranteed to get people doing the rock steady on the dance floor! They are amazing to watch at St. Paul’s Carnival in Bristol and also where they practice in Bath – even their rehearsals are wonderful occasions where you can witness true professionals hard at work and loving every minute of it!"

"I hired these lovely musicians for my son's first birthday party in May. It was a great choice! They arrived ahead of scheduled, set up and played wonderfully! Everyone loved the music (which turned out to be a great choice for the little children as they were not scared and quite enjoyed the soft tunes) my son loved the steel drums and we all had a great time."

"Booked Naomi to perform over zoom for my wife's 26th birthday. With it being lockdown in Scotland and not having many options, I thought it would be a lovely surprise for her to have a talented musician play a few of her favourite songs. I gave Naomi a list of a few special songs that she could play for us and without complaint or hesitation she was more than happy to play them for us. From the moment I made contact to the day of the performance everything was just perfection. My wife loved it as did I, she is still buzzing that Naomi played all her favourite songs on violin. Cannot recommend Naomi highly enough. She played beautifully. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Utterly splendid. Perfection. "

"We saw the band as part of the Crystal Palace Overground Festival. The band lit the space up which considering considerable contingent who were only in pub for the soccer was no mean achievement. The set was party friendly and resulted in some very pissed elegant dancing and boisterous enjoyment. The musicianship was of a very high standard and this combined with an obvious love for their material and a familiarity with each other and said material made it a stimulating, life affirming and emotional experience. The music is traditional Klezmer and includes references to balkan music and is lively picking you up and laying you low with melancholy and vigorous celebration."
