"Lewis and I just wanted to extend a huge thank you to you and the sound guy for such a great evening's entertainment. So many of our guests remarked on how well you interacted with the audience - wandering around the room and out on to the terrace when the dance floor was quiet... very unusual and worked wonderfully well. Also can you apologise to your sound guy as I believe my dad asked if he could stay on past 1 thinking he was a friend of ours as opposed to a supplier so sorry about that as I'm sure he'd had just about enough by 1am! Thanks again Paul, Tiffany"

"I am finally back at home in the US after lots of delays due to snow and ice. I received lots of positive feedback about your performance at my Dad's birthday party and people who did not even come said that they were sorry that they missed the band. I heard people singing along and that was a positive as I was not able to sit and listen to you. Deciding to have a Steel Band perform was very adventurous for this group, but it worked out well and a good time was had by all. Good Luck for the New Year. Ann"

"Hi Guys, thank you so much for playing our wedding! Literally everybody has said how fantastic you guys were, and Frankie and I are over the moon with everything. The set was perfect 😊 Another huge thank you for learning Cissy Strut and I'm Only Sleeping, that was amazing! Thanks again for everything, we'll definitely be recommending you guys for other gigs"

"What can I say? DIVINE! Lovely vocals and keyboard accompaniment. Terrific variety of songs. Worked and interacted with the crowd in a terrific way. Could have listened to them for hours. Wherever they play, *DO* go see them. You will not be disappointed!"

Thank you very much Claudia, we appreciate the kind words! We look forward to playing for you again, real, real soon. If there are any songs you'd like us to tackle in our repertoire, feel free to let us know as well! Cheers: Allan and David

"We had the trio for our wedding breakfast and their full band later with multiple singers. So professional and absolutely stunning vocals."

"Alfie and the "Hot Hats" were amazing! They absolutely made our wedding celebration. They were very professional, flexible, reassuring and calm in the run-up to the big day - no dramas, everything was easy, and we knew we were in good hands. They turned up early and brought great sound and light kit with them (easily big enough for our festival-feel outdoors event). They played all the tunes we'd requested beforehand for the DJ set, then proceeded to wow everyone with upbeat live playing and singing from their extensive set list that got everyone to their feet. We won't forget everyone sitting down to James's "Sit Down" in a hurry! Alfie was great with the crowd and he and Owen were not only extremely good musicians (we had some professionals in the audience who also commented on how good they were) but also really nice chaps to have around - they just made the whole thing happier and more fun. What more could you ask for from a wedding band? We're so very pleased we found Hot Hats and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Alfie!"

"Hot Rock Brass Band were simply amazing and really lifted our wedding into party mode when they started playing. They were incredibly flexible and even did their first set outside whilst the tables were being cleared indoors, which led to a rather romantic dance under a setting sun. Once indoors the dance floor instantly filled with people swirling and stomping - it was a tremendous atmosphere."

"We hired 21c for our wedding in Bristol after seeing them play a friend’s birthday party in London. They are a band that can play a wide variety of songs - classic rock, indie and even a Proclaimers song…. well it was a half Scottish Wedding after all!!! Combined that with their music talent, enthusiasm, energy and song choices they got everyone up and dancing. 21c also accommodated friends joining in and learnt a few extra songs requested by us. After the wedding the guests were feeding back how good the band were. It was a pleasure dealing with the management team and 21c everything was organised and planned to perfection. If you are looking for a brilliant band for any occasion look no further than 21c they are highly recommended."

"Thank you so, so much for playing at our wedding. It was such a fantastic day and everybody (including my "rather difficult to please at times" in-laws) has said how brilliant you were and how much you added to the day! In fact, I have passed on your details to a friend who attended!"

"Groove Allstars Band performed for us at our wedding at Burtonfields Hall and they were absolutely perfect! We had a keyboard and saxophone duo for our drinks reception which set just the right tone while guests were mingling and having cocktails, followed by a 9 piece band later in the evening who got everyone on the dancefloor. All the music they played was fabulous, our guests couldn’t stop saying how good ‘the band’ were! Thank you so much for making our day/night - you were all amazing! 100% recommend. Emily & Christian, Wedding at Burtonfields Hall – 7th June 2025"

"We had an absolute amazing day it just seemed to be over so fast. You and the other guys in the band put on a fantastic and professional show for us despite all the restrictions from the venue you had to deal with which certainly didn't seem to matter on the night ! We have had so many excellent comments about you already which is awesome! You guys were exactly what we were looking for when it came to a band . As it is quite a cool modern venue we needed a cool slick band who could cater musically for all the age groups at the reception which you did outstandingly so thank you. From what I can remember there were people up and dancing most of the night which is what Amy & I really wanted and I think that talks for itself when I say everyone was having a good time!! I'm so glad that the venue look after you guys and you also enjoyed it also. Amy and myself would be more than happy to recommend the Embassy to anyone who were looking for the perfect band to play at their wedding or function!! My only hope now is that I can think of an excuse to book you again for something else one day! . Thanks again to you and the rest of the guys and we wish you all the best for the future. Mike & Amy Laughton, wedding at The Crazy Bear, Oxfordshire – 29th September 2012 "

"A massive thank you to Thomas for making our wedding day so special. Mark and I got married on 25th May 2019 and hired Thomas to play the steel pan after the ceremony to entertain our guests whilst we had our photographs taken. Everyone absolutely loved the music and were thoroughly entertained. Highly recommend! Lots of love from the new Mr and Mrs Feeney x"

"The jazz band proved to be a huge hit at the event. A number of our guests came up to us at the end of the evening and commented on how great the music was. Thanks for the fabulous work guys! We will definately be using you again in the future!!"
