"Totally Blown Away……. We had arranged a small celebration in a local village hall for our friends and family and the venue itself was tiny. We looked around to try and find a band to entertain our guests, the majority of which were at the older end of the spectrum. We spent weeks and weeks searching without success and almost changed our plans but eventually came across Kelly & Graham. Having looked at their videos we were amazed how versatile they were but given the fact they were based over 200 miles away we were resigned to the fact they probably wouldn’t travel so far for a one off event. We needn’t have worried, Kelly put us at ease straight away and accepted the booking. She is a great communicator and kept us totally up to speed throughout the process. We were pretty stressed out with co-ordinating the whole event but she promised that we did not have to worry about the music and she was right. They arrived early and set up their equipment and mingled with our guests. We had selected the music to perform from their vast songbook and also added a couple of songs that meant a lot to us. They were brilliant. The night went with a bang. Everyone who came that evening has spoken to us to say how good they were. Kelly’s voice is amazing and Grahams guitar playing is fantastic. If you need a band to entertain your guests no matter how big or small the party, then you need to book these two, you will not be disappointed "

"We had our wedding reception early September and had a 3 piece band with a guitar, saxophone and singer. Gloria and band were amazing. They set the tone so well and our first dance was a success. Gloria was more than happy to provide just a rough guitar track for the song we were going to dance to and that really helped with our practices. The dinner part of our wedding went on a bit late but the band was patient in waiting for us. The music was top notch, the mood and everything was just perfect. All our guests loved them. Had a good time dancing and talking. Would highly recommend them to anyone who's interested! Thanks so much Gloria!"

"Wow! We booked Unwritten Duo for my dad's 80th Birthday party and they were absolutely incredible from start to finish. We requested several songs which they learned for my dad as a surprise. They spoke with us beforehand to make sure their set lists and the DJ music would be to everyone's taste and were happy to take requests on the night from guests. They were both highly professional, mega talented and a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be booking them for future family gatherings. 10/10"

"From the initial message onwards he was helpful, upfront and professional and managed to work with me to provide a service within my budget. The communication was always timely and helpful and he made sure he had all the information to provide a performance that fit in with what I was looking for. They showed up on time and set up with no distraction to the rest of the party then put on an incredible performance. The playing and singing was spot on and they were clearly in tune with each other as a band. The setlist was absolutely spot on with what I was hoping for, with a good mix of older rock classics, some alternative, some modern pop and plenty of indie rock which was exactly what I was hoping for. Sonic Landslide even played a Tom Petty song for me at my request despite it being only 3 days before the event. Their lively and engaging playing style meant they got everyone up on their feet dancing and they ensured music was playing even between sets so the guests were never not entertained. Mike and the band were more than happy to chat with guests between sets and were all polite and friendly but weren't intrusive to the party. Overall, I could not recommend Sonic Landslide enough. They are timely, professional and reliable and will put on a performance that will blow your socks off!"

"Vintage Voltage are such a joy to watch, putting on engaging and fun events, playing the hits and deep cuts forgotten about in the back of your head, getting everyone dancing. They’re simply great performers and it’s great to see young people giving new life to old tunes!"

"Soiree fitted the bill in every sense. For our event we wanted to create a setting where our guests could enjoy the music without it being too overpowering. The combination of the live Trumpet and DJ incorporated all tastes and genres, resulting in an ambient atmosphere that made the event very special. Their performance throughout the evening ranged from more chilled styles to more groovy songs and this flexibility was something many guests commented on. As well as multiple genres James and Jake were more than willing to take requests on demand, with no request being too much hassle. Overall, we would highly recommend Soiree and can’t wait for our next event!"

"Wraggle Taggle were an awesome band - we had excellent feedback from all the guests and thoroughly enjoyed their playing. (26th October 2019 Saturday The Loft Studio, Siobhan Davies Studios, 85 St George's Rd, London SE1 6ER) The Scottish songs they played during the breaks in our ceilidh dancing were such a nice touch.

"I cannot thank you enough for your professionalism in both the time leading up to the event as well as everything that took place on the day of the performance. I still cannot believe you were able to get so many people up dancing. Your performance was outstanding from start to finish and is the main reason this event will be talked about for years to come. You set the bar so high, I have no idea how we’re going to top this next year."

"My legs are still aching because I danced so much! The band arrived on time and were very friendly and helpful and the music was delightful. It was a mixed crowd, many of whom had never met each other before but with one thing in common – they had never done ceilidh dancing before! The caller was absolutely brilliant – it didn’t matter that most people had no idea how to dance the reels! Everyone joined in and thoroughly enjoyed themselves."
