"Brilliant band at our wedding - the song choices were perfect and Luke’s voice is unbelievable. So many guests commented on how good the band were and the dance floor was full all night. Especially loved Proud Mary and the Irish set to start us off. Wish we could do it all again - thank you!"

"The musician was really talented however did not play the music requested so killed the entire vibe of the party. It was a party and we requested upbeat music alongside DJ but she used her own speaker and mellowed tunes... everyone obviously left the dance floor at this point and had to remind her of the request. She struggled with our requirements despite us being very specific on booking and even noted specific times on contract booking, did not fulfil contract and waste of £550"

Dear Hayley Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent event. I take all reviews seriously, as they help me improve my services, and I appreciate the opportunity to address some inaccuracies in your comments. The full fee you paid was £459, I understand that you felt the music selection did not align with the upbeat atmosphere you envisioned. However, I want to clarify that I arrived well-prepared with a curated playlist that included the specific tracks you requested, such as "Rebel Music" and "Ibiza Classics." Additionally, during our initial conversation, I offered to incorporate lively pop songs like "Havana," "Rather Be," and "Cheerleader" to enhance the party vibe. I left out your request to play Andrew Lloyd Webber/Starlight Express as I felt it didn’t align with the style of your event. Regarding the DJ sound levels, these were extremely loud throughout. I strive to maintain an enjoyable volume throughout my performances. While you noted that the dance floor, it was empty upon my arrival and throughout the ibiza classics with DJ last 30 minute set. I appreciated the positive feedback from many guests which indicates we’re enjoying my performances. As the event progressed, I was attentive to your requests, including the unexpected addition of a dhol drummer for the second set. I performed the "Morni" provided the Bollywood track to the DJ and performed alongside the DJ and which successfully energised the dance floor. I also addressed the issue with my electric violin volume being turned down by DJ immediately after he received feedback from guest complaining he couldn’t hear it! The booking was to perform 3x 30 minute sets I stayed on the dance floor except two 15 minute breaks and performed throughout the 2 hour duration. I made repeated requests to the DJ to play "Ibiza Classics," in line with your preferences, and I took swift action to address all requests throughout the night. The DJ consistently played track’s that were impossible for a violinist to play over such as Milkshake by Kelis. My goal is always to create memorable experiences for my clients, and I have consistently received positive feedback for over 20 years !

"From start to finish, the Rag Tag Misfits were an absolute delight to deal with. They were fast to respond to our emails, super helpful and sweet and learned a very special song for us to play me down the aisle at our wedding. They make a wonderful team, the music is amazing and they are so down to earth and lovely! They played before and during our ceremony and then during our canape reception afterwards. Everyone loved the music and we couldn't have been happier! We can't recommend them enough. Thank you so much Helly and Andy!!! ~The Kellys xxxxxxxx"

"We ended up needing to find a musician on short notice. Luckily Steph was available and she was very understanding and friendly throughout the whole process. Steph is a great talent to have at any event and we would definitely book her again!"

"We booked The Pharaoh's for a Covers Night last month and they were brilliant. Really strong vocals. They played a great range of music from 70s disco classics and soul right through to Amy Winehouse and the Killers! Everyone was up on the floor dancing and people are still saying to me now what a good night it was. Would definitely book them again in the future. Thanks guys!"

"CANNOT RATE THIS BAND HIGH ENOUGH! ? ? ? ? ? Honestly we booked them years back when our wedding was due and they were so accommodating throughout our date change and using our very chaotic playlist! When I say this band will get your guests on your feet I mean it! Honestly would get married again just to use them …. Yes we do stalk them when they play at festivals!"
