"We booked this band for our wedding last Saturday after we saw them at another wedding last year. I must say they are the best band ever and James was amazing to deal with for everything. Nothing was to much for them and they even learnt both songs for our first dance. Will definitely recommend and will definitely use again. Thank you for keeping the dance floor alive and for a perfect evening x Mr and Mrs passmore"

"We booked The RockPins for our company party of 500 people. We were looking for a band who could play the right kind of songs to get people dancing and play those songs well. The band didn’t let us down, they were brilliant! The biggest compliment I can give is the dance floor was still packed when they finally finished their last song. They are a very professional band who can inject energy and fun into a party and come highly recommended. "

"Testimonials The 515 crew led by the talented Shama, brilliantly supported by the evergreen Chirag & great entertainer Nimesh were awesome on 5th May at City Pavilion. We had Shama & her crew for the Engagement party where we had the best trio in music industry - Shama, Chirag & Nimesh play some superb tracks. Whether it is a mehfil or dance settings the talented group always excel with superb sing-along melodies. We have seen Shama & her crew perform so many times & every time they raise the bar with brilliant performances. The amazing thing is that each show is unique & diverse with all songs suited to the audience. Shama’s great versatility in arranging shows & entertaining the audience all year round with her sought after group gives us all an opportunity to enjoy music at its best- no matter what the occasion. Keep it up Shama & 515 crew. Thank you for entertaining us all music lovers. Best wishes - Praful & Kalpna Lakhani, City Pavilion, May 2019 Lot of feedback we received and everyone enjoyed the music a lot on 2nd August at The Hive. So did the families and all close relatives and friends. Thanks a lot for great performance and superb time, to you and the band. - Pradip & Jayshree, The Hive, London, August 2018 Having met Shama and the 515 Crew at a couple of events I photographed over he last 2 years, it was without question that we would be using them whenever we had a family event. Last weekend, my brother and I threw our parents a surprise 65th birthday party and I was super excited to have secured a booking for this auspicious occasion with the 515 crew and they most certainly didn’t disappoint!!! They arrived promptly to setup and worked within the limited space we had at our venue without any complaints. I asked Shama if the group would be able to play a handful of my dads favourite songs from the 70’s and 80’s era including Santana, Wilson Picket and James Brown and although it was material that they hadn’t done before, they took time to rehearse in the week and surprised us with their amazing delivery on the main night. My dad and guests were over the moon! I’ve had nothing but positive comments from our guests on the 515 Crew’s super professional musical ability and singing. Their Indian songs took our guests back into time and found it refreshing to hear some of the old bollywood songs with a modern and current feel. I really cannot express how delighted myself, my parents and our guests are with the 515 Crew. I dealt with Shama from the initial phone call to check on the teams availability and she’s always been a pleasure to deal with including on the night itself. I most certainly will be using them when we have another event and will be recommending them to my clients too! I genuinly thank you from the bottom of my heart. - Kam Parmar (Kreative Klicks Photography), Unity Hall, Barton, July 2018 ​ We wanted to personally thank you for a wonderful evening on Saturday! Everyone enjoyed your songs and had a great time! Thank you also for getting Sanjay out of his shell and onto the dance floor! Best wishes - Dipika and Sanjay, Venue 260, Luton, April 2018 ' We write to say Thank You for the entertainment at our charity event. Professional, versatile and with an extremely diverse repetoire, the music was enjoyed by all. Your music embodies character, emotion and power. You started the event on a strong note and, critically, ended on an even stronger note. You were able to exceed our requirements with finesse. I will be booking you again in the near future and would not hesitate to recommend the band to anybody enquiring. It was impressive how professional, you, Chirag and all the band have been from start to finish. We thank you again and hope you enjoyed performing for us as much as we enjoyed dancing for you!' With all best wishes, - Ladva Family, Campion School, Hornchurch, November 2017 ​ We had an absolutely amazing time and all the credit goes to you and the crew for your fantastic performance. It was a pleasure to listen to all those golden oldies and even more enjoyable to dance to them. You all kept the dance floor rocking and engaged and made it all so personal too. After all these years you are still the best. Everyone still talking about the great time they had. Thank you so much! - Darshana Parekh, St. John's Hotel, Solihull, August 2017 Just wanted to thank you again for last night it was a phenomenal performance despite the technological issues with the hall, everyone had an amazing time and couldn't stop raving about you! Please pass on my thanks to the rest of your team. You all rock! - Krishna Radia, Ladywood Estate, August 2017 Thank you so much to you and 515 for providing such fantastic entertainment during my mendhi night on Fri 21 July at Sattavis Patidar in Wembley. Each and every guest was so complimentary of you. Everyone commented on how engaging the band was. They loved the part where you asked me to join you for a song (although I'm fairly sure it was you they enjoyed!). My family from Chicago and St Louis was so impressed, they literally could not stop praising you. Apparently the talent in the US is not the same! We made the right choice when we selected you and your band. You guys are worth every penny. I would recommend you without any hesitation whatsoever. Wish you all the best going forward. - Nisha Patel, Sattavis Patidar Wembley, July 2017 I just wanted to send you a quick email to say a very big "Thank You" for the performance at our Dinner & Music Night on 22nd October in Woking to celebrate my wedding to Nashita!! You and the band were brilliant, everyone had a great time and they all keep telling us that the night was so much fun. I personally also want to say that you guys were more entertaining than I could have imagined. The choice of song you picked out for our 'first dance' was excellent as it really is one of my favourite songs! :) Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the band. I hope that we can see you and the band perform again some time in the future. Once again, from myself, Mum and Nashita, thank you for making our night special. - Chandresh Pankhania, The Lord Roberts Centre, Woking, Oct 2016 ​ Just wanted to say an absolutely massive thank you to you, the band and the DJ for yesterday. You guys all nailed it! I want to just re-live the night again to hear you guys. You really were fantastic and every time we see you I'm sure you all just get better and better! Still can't believe how many people you got up dancing between starters and mains, no one wanted to eat! Haha. I've heard only good things already about you guys and especially how you catered for everyones different genres and generations! It was great, so truly a big thank you from the bottom of both of our hearts. - Sundeep & Shivani Kapur , Ditton Manor, Oct 2016 ​ Thank you so much to you and your 515 crew for the stellar performance yesterday ! You guys rocked the house down for the older and younger generation! I loved your style, versatility in music to meet the needs of the audience. Thank you so much! Everyone enjoyed the party and the positive comments are still streaming through! I hopefully will see you again at the Lohana party. Shama your personality is infectious! All- I highly recommend these musicians! Totally awesome! - Mayuri Gandesha"

"We wanted to say an enormous thank you for all your music on our wedding day. The acoustic trio created the perfect atmosphere for the drinks reception and the evening band made it a legendary party! Thank you for learning and performing our first dance Concrete & Clay, it really was a dream moment. The dance floor was never quiet and your fantastic set list ensured that everyone was on their feet all night. We heard so many compliments on the day and our guests have not stopped talking about Groove Bus since. We also really appreciated your extended encore. We had the best day ever and did want it to end; but what an ending: spinning around in the middle of a huge circle of our friends and family all belting out Oasis at the top of their lungs!"

"We wanted a brass band to lead our wedding procession on to the reception venue and the band were the perfect fit. They brought loads of great energy and good cheer, allowing us to kick the reception off. They were also able to perform at the drinks reception which went down super well with our guests. If you are after something a little different and want to bring the sunny festival vibes, then these guys are spot on. "

"More than just a wedding band; they provide a tailor made service that is of the highest, professional quality. We both work in the entertainment industry and were struggling to find a band that would meet our exacting standards but they completely blew us away and we had the best wedding party ever! The dance floor was FULL all night."

"The band was hired for a joint 70th surprise party for my mum and auntie. Despite the party's age demographic, the dance floor was always full. The band played a perfect selection of songs for both young and old. They were accommodating when it came to the limited space at the venue. The band sounded amazing and received many compliments. I will definitely hire them again."

"Golden Gospel sang at the Celebration of my husband’s life, attended by over 300 people. It was an emotional occasion, but one which I intended to be uplifting, and reflective of his huge vitality and vibrant spirit. A gospel choir had been Nick’s request, some months previously, and it was really important to me that I delivered on that. In fact, Golden Gospel delivered - they were fabulous. The afternoon was full of joy, laughter and tapping feet. Jules was great to work with when planning the music, responding to my (many) questions and sending me lots of clips of the choir in action; and the performance on the day was magical. Nick would have loved it. Thank you so much for making a difficult day so very wonderful."

"Just wanted to say how happy I was with MIB’s performance at Newham Under the Stars! The weather wasn’t exactly on our side and this showed in slightly lower audience figures than I would have liked, but those determined concert go-ers who came out despite the showers, chilly winds and muddy part thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I’m sure you could tell from the audience response just how much your performance was appreciated and I hope you enjoyed performing as much as the audience enjoyed watching you. Great music, great vocals and great energy! Considering that this is a free community event, the production was impressively slick and professional and this was in no small part due to MIB’s appearance. Watching video clips back you could quite easily be watching a televised event on the Beeb and I am so proud of it and so pleased that MIB was part of it."

"Richard and Soul 75 provided the entertainment for our wedding in July. We cannot put into words how brilliant they were for our wedding - and neither can our guests! From the moment we were contacted by Richard we were impressed by this thoughts on music for the wedding, how approachable he was and how efficient he was with responses. My husband and I knew exactly the vibe we were looking for, knew we wanted everyone on the dancefloor and not a dull moment - we were not let down! We were originally only looking for an evening band to play following dinner but Richard let us know of the drinks reception opportunity and couldn't turn it down. The performance gave the perfect background music to our afternoon while family were busy with photos. This was highly complimented on as a beautiful touch to the day by almost everybody there. The evening music was perfect. As soon as the band were playing we couldn't get our guests off the dancefloor. Every song perfectly matched the vibe that we had discussed with Richard. Every guest that we have spoken to or seen since the wedding have said that Soul75 were perfect and they couldn't believe how many people were dancing for so long on the night. So many people have told us it's the best wedding they've been to and a lot of that goes down to the amazing singing and entertainment that Richard and his band provided. We can't thank Soul75 enough for their effort on the night and making it the party of our lives. We will 100% be in contact for future events! Thank you so much again for making our night perfect, it was exactly what we wished for!"

"The guys were brilliant. They effortlessly arrived, got everything set up, queued up the playlists, started no problems, rocked the joint, played a few extra numbers, allowed some of the gang rap on their equipment (!) and were a huge hit with the guests. We were really impressed with how tight the band was, the breath of the repertoire and the real energy they put into it. Thanks again for all your work in the run up and for helping making it a great night."
