"If you need your event to go with a swing then Tim and Bella are the best! They played at a recent Open Garden event at my home and were completely professional, great fun and knew their audience, tailoring the music to ensure that everyone who came to the garden really enjoyed themselves. "

"Simply the best evening ever with two amazing and accomplished musicians who made the evening. Kelly and Graham were outstanding in their delivery of my chosen songs and the two hours passed in what seemed like the blink of an eye. Their engagement with the audience of 70 guests from far and wide was spot on and the quality of sound was just brilliant! Would not hesitate to have them here again! Thank you so much for making my night special."

"Everyone thought their musicianship was excellent and the caller was very good at helping get people dancing. From young to old everyone had a great evening."

"We first saw The Mardy Johnny Depps about 6yrs ago at Charlies Bar, Es Cana, Ibiza. They started their set taking requests from the audience, we were amazed how they were able to perform and put their own twist on the songs that were randomly thrown at them. We've seen them most years since at the same venue, we would recommend them for any occasion. "

"What a ceilidh and what a band! By far the best ceilidh we have ever experienced. Over half of the guests had never been to a ceilidh before, but the walk-throughs were incredibly clear and ensured that everyone picked up the steps really quickly. The band managed to get so many guests up and dancing that we had to expand the size of our dance-floor, twice! The ceilidh was the highlight of the evening. We received a large number of compliments from the guests about the quality of the music. We would thoroughly recommend It's No' Reel to anyone!"

"I would 100% recommend the Ebor quartet. They played at our wedding at sledmere house and made special moments even more memorable with renditions of our favourite songs. They are very talented musicians and all the guests loved them. Conor is very professional and quick with email responses. Thank you for being part of our wedding day!"

"Dear Anne Thank you so much for leading and playing marvellously for yesterday's rehearsals and concert. It was a real privilege to bring this music to life with you all and, particularly for the choir, a really significant shared experience after many months of getting to grips with the challenges of Dona Nobis Pacem. Thanks too for all your time and effort with fixing, communications and logistics over the past year or so... the ratio of admin to minutes of live music continues to astound me! "

"Thank you so so much! That was simply incredible - it is hard to put into words just how special it was to hear live music of such calibrate, enthusiasm and skill. It was incredible to be a part of the songs, dancing along and - as an aside - simply amazing to have you as a familiar face. Really brought back the happiest of memories. We’ve been receiving messages in capital letters from friends saying ‘THE BAND WAS AMAZING’. We’re all quite a musical bunch and lots of us have all attended quite a few weddings now so that’s a huge compliment. Please thank the band for learning the Lianne le havas song. We had to keep double checking the band hadn’t been replaced by Lianne le havas herself - such a magical way to start the evening. Now just have to dream up some other excuse to hire you guys… a 33rd birthday party?!"

"Wow! Rich and the band were incredible! These guys played at my dads 60th on Saturday 16th August 2025 and absolutely blew us away with their talent. They were all incredibly talented and a great bunch to chat to as well; they fully embraced our event and helped to make it that little bit more special. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a band for a big celebration. "

"Part-B made our wedding a night to never forget! They learned our first dance request and played all of our requests - even the Ska tunes. They were great at working with the DJ to make sure songs weren’t duplicated and coordinated brilliantly with the venue to make sure the evening went as smoothly as possible. Thank you so much."

"W!RED were absolutely fantastic at our wedding. So many of our guests commented on how brilliant they were. A great mix of songs, all performed to perfection. Good communication in the build up to the event and they worked to the timings we needed for our day without any issues. Such a great sound, we had so much fun - thank you W!RED!"

"Daniel and the band played at our wedding and did a phenomenal job, covering klezmer, Sri Lankan dancing, soul, disco, and much more. Our guests kept saying how fantastic the music was, and we cannot recommend them highly enough! "

"I just wanted to thank you very much for the most enjoyable and entertaining afternoon. Our members loved you and your music and it will give them something to talk about for weeks to come. Friendly Finches really appreciate the effort you made to come to our little village and play such fantastic music. THANK YOU."
