"Vernon performed at our new John Lewis store in York as part of our 150 anniversary celebration weekend. Vernon was an absolute pleasure to have performing in the store; his friendly manner and excellent musical talent made our 150 year celebrations extraordinary, and our partners and customers commented how brilliant he was. We will most certainly be contacting Vernon in the future for other events that we hold- he never once stopped smiling, and his music was fantastic! Thank- you Vernon! "

"What’s the Story were the perfect headliners for our music event and I honestly couldn’t recommend them more. From start to finish they were friendly, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. They performed two fantastic 45-minute sets with a really well thought out set list that kept the crowd singing and dancing all night. The atmosphere was brilliant and the audience stayed right until the end thanks to the band’s energy and talent. We would book them again in a heartbeat – truly an outstanding tribute act."

"Hi Fiddlestix, Thanks again for the wonderful ceilidh you and your band put on for us last Saturday. I have written a review for you to use below. Warm regards Julie Fiddlestix played a mix of English, Irish and Scottish music at our wedding breakfast in December. Both the musicians and the caller were excellent and we all thoroughly enjoyed the ceilidh. Many of our guests took to the floor, some of whom had never participated in a dance before. When numbers dwindled at the end of the evening, the band switched to performing Elvis Presley songs which got some of our remaining guests up and dancing. People have told us how much they enjoyed the music. Thank you, Fiddlestix, for providing us with such fun. Julie"

"Kirsty is absolutely fantastic! As well as being a super easygoing, lovely person, she built a custom setlist based on our music choices, kindly created a special mix for our first dance, and even threw in some vinyl versions of special songs (yes, a vinyl DJ!), which was incredibly special. The lighting setup was also fantastic and exceeded all expectation, and the sound system was high quality and faultless. Kirsty brought so much passion and everyone had an amazing night (some even pleaded for more when it came to an end because they'd enjoyed the set so much...!) Kirsty was generous with her time ahead of the day, super accommodating of special requests, was lovely to work with and has buckets of talent. We can’t fault her or recommend her highly enough! "

"Thank you so much. You were just fabulous on Saturday night and you definitely left the dance floor wanting more. You really made the party one to remember and would have no hesitation in booking you again. Sorry we didn’t get to say thank you on the night - like true professionals you left us to party on"

"Suns Up were such an amazing choice for our day. They had everyone on the dancefloor from start to finish and all our guests talked about how great they were. Communication was great beforehand, and they were also really friendly on the day. They were really flexible on timings, which we really appreciated!"

"Ok…It has taken me far too long to write this. I confess I’m forgetful. However, one thing I haven’t and won’t forget is how incredible these guys are. House of Chords are fantastic. Honestly. We booked them at quite late notice (far later than I was comfortable with because my hubby to be was being very picky about the sound he wanted). We loved that they have an eclectic repertoire and weren’t afraid to ditch the “really popular songs” from their set list in order to accommodate our tastes (there are a few songs we feel are way overplayed at weddings). On the day, they set up smoothly and were quick to introduce themselves to us in person. We had a decidedly uncommon first song choice (Walking on the Waves by Skippinish) and unfazed they found it for us. After this from a recording they kicked into a live set for which I don’t remember there ever being an empty dance floor. From the moment they picked up their instruments to the moment they put them down people were up and dancing, singing along and having fun. You can tell the band love what they do and their enthusiasm is infectious. As the live set wrapped up and we moved into the DJ-ing section of the night, the party songs came out and I distinctly remember a group of our guests teaching the band the cheesy dance routine for “Saturday Night”. I honestly cannot recommend these guys enough. Incredible band, great readers of group mood, infectious energy. Book them – you won’t regret it."

"Thank you for Saturday night, it was amazing! Everyone loved Dr Jazz and it was a great way to welcome guests. The music was brilliant, along with the service you have provided throughout. We would definitely recommend you and it helped make the night so special."
