Review Centre: Singers (Pop/Rock)

"EVERYBODY needs to have this Gospel Choir for their wedding/events. When I first saw them at a wedding fair I couldn’t leave the room I was that drawn to them. We booked them for our wedding day for welcoming, ceremony and drinks. Throughout the day numerous guests came up to us to say ‘wow they are good where did you find them!!’ and messages after to ask for their details to pass onto family and friends. They truly sound and look perfect. We can’t thank you all enough for your professionalism, ability to adapt and being the most special part of our day."

"After my initial enquiry about musicians for a surprise 50th birthday party I was contacted straight away with a suggested singer, Danny Blackmond. I had s quick look at his profile, watched the YouTube clips and booked him. All dealings with the agency and Danny himself were friendly and professional and the music Danny provided on the day was superb. Thank you."

"Jamboree James was amazing! Highly highly recommend, he learnt and performed our first dance music at short notice. Took on board all of our requests. We had a very small wedding of 25 including children so by the time the evening came there were less than 20 of us. I worried that the vibe would be off with such a small crowd but James brought the good vibes and we danced all night. He even played through his break as we were all having such a good time. Thoroughly recommend. Thanks for making our wedding evening so fun! "

"I couldn’t recommend Dan enough. He was phenomenal. He truly made our ceremony perfect and he also did a set after which he was so involved and it was such a personal touch. Truly, if you are contemplating using him. DO IT. You will not be disappointed. Absolutely incredible. We can’t thank you enough Dan, truly!"

"Huge thanks for all you did to make our evening a success. On the commercial side it was very successful for us, and you certainly played a part in making that happen. The atmosphere was perfect. We had so many lovely comments from customers about how much they'd enjoyed the evening, and it seems as it was our best ever. Your professional approach and attention to detail was impressive, and it was great to work with someone who cares about their work as much as we do. I'll definitely keep you in mind for future events, and thanks again Tony."

"We knew we wanted live music for our wedding, and found Alfie by chance via a google search - after watching his YouTube previews we were suitably impressed and got in touch with Alfie who was incredibly helpful. In the run up to the wedding he asked us to provide a list of our favourite tracks and bands for the DJ playlist in between live sets, including our choice of first dance. On the day he arrived in plenty of time, set up without fuss and got the evening well under way, worked with us to ensure the timing of our first dance was when we wanted and interacted well with the guests to ensure the dance floor was full all night. He remembered small details like Queen being my favourite band and included a track in his set which was a nice touch. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."

"We’ve had Roly perform for us several times now at The Gate in Sawbridgeworth and he has fast become one of our favourite acts! He literally sings everything and anything! So adaptable to the crowd in front of him, his ability to read the room is brilliant! I have no hesitation in recommending Roly for any occasion."

"Ben played at my sister’s hen party and was absolutely amazing. Everyone was up dancing all night. Ben arrived with plenty of time to set up, was flexible on set times and played exactly the music we’d requested, plus lots of requests from the hens on the night. Ben was really personable and sociable and fitted in to the party perfectly. Definitely recommend for any occasion! "

"IT WAS billed as A Night At The Musicals, and it was certainly a title which attracted a packed house to the Howden Park Centre last Friday evening when Darren Shaw and three dancers took the stage and sang and danced their hearts out. Two for the price of one took on a whole new meaning in this show in which we, the audience, were encouraged to join in with some of the well known songs. If you looked around, all you could see was a sea of smiling faces having a great time reminiscing and sharing some of their favourite moments from the musicals. This was courtesy of one very talented young man sporting a George Clooney haircut and diamond earring, some nifty costume changes, an incredible voice range and an endearing smile. Using a variety of spectacular, if sometimes dazzling lighting effects, and the obligatory dry ice creating an atmosphere that makes the singer appear suspended in clouds, the show began with a spotlight into which sauntered Mr Shaw in top hat and tails singing On The Street Where You Live, from My Fair Lady. Once again the excellent acoustics of the Brian Duguid Theatre played host to emotive, full orchestral music courtesy of impeccably timed tapes. Maybe it was just a shade loud in the first half which saw something very unusual and totally original. Everyone is familiar with The Sound of Music and the recent Connie Fisher version of The Hills are alive. Enter Darren Shaw looking splendid in lederhosen, like a denizen of Austria and straight from the Alps. To everyone's amazement and some barely concealed audience mirth, he became a soprano and made the hills come alive in his own special way. As the show progressed, the format of two songs by Mr Shaw interspersed with dance routines by the hardworking dancers began to win us over. For the first time ever, the famous duet from Grease, You're The One That I Want, was sung by Mr Shaw who performed the male and female parts. Using his falsetto voice – an attribute which was once taught in Italy in the middle ages resulting in the singers being known as castratto (please, don't ask) – Shaw sang the SuBo hit from Les Miserables as he duetted with himself in I Know Him So Well. In The Phantom of the Opera sequence he once again sang the famous duet which takes Christine, the soprano and The Phantom to perform, all by himself. As for the three dancers, two glamorous blondes and a bonny brunette, they proved their versatility by dancing a variety of styles from musical comedy to modern with a brave attempt at Irish River Dancing which drew cheers from the audience. The finale saw Shaw resplendent in a mint green sparkling shirt and matching flares with the dancers in glittering jump suits so there was no doubt that we would hear something from Mamma Mia and we certainly did. This night at the theatre was indeed a feast of tunes from the musicals which at first, thanks to Mr Shaw's dual voice, seemed a little hard to digest but soon became an acquired taste."
