"Super tight, super funky, super professional. Fantastic performance from beginning to the end of their performance. Singer was fantastic, he performed the numbers superbly, with some very witty crowd interaction. Drummer was fantastic, guitarist played some superb solo work. The horn section really wowed me, fantastic synchronised dance moves from all three. The bass locked in fantastically with the drums, and the keyboard player definitely added the cool factor to the group. Great chemistry between all of them one stage. All of these factors culminated in a really authentic soul sound. A definite recommendation! If you want to dance, feel good and have a truly fantastic time, this is the band for you."

"Oscar on violin and Barney his brother on accordion where pure class for my mums 80th. They played a mixed set of gypsy jazz, Irish jiggs and more contemporary pieces. Beautiful timbre to both instruments, everyone was asking how to book them. Great day, great lads and suitable for all ages, well done boys, magical memories made. "

"I have listened to Jonathan Vinten with real pleasure over a number of years, playing solo, with his trio and recently with the full six piece band. Whatever the venue, ranging from the humble surroundings of the Tunbridge Wells Jazz Club to Leeds Castle, the Savoy Hotel London or the Grand at Brighton, his sheer quality as a musician stands out, as does the range of his repertoire. You need no telling that he has played with the very best in the business, yet, unlike some jazz musicians who seem to play for their own pleasure, Jonathan always sets out to entertain his audience. The standard of the trio is impressive. I have heard the “big” band only once so far but it was a joy, with a fine balance and extended solos you just had to listen to. I don’t get to hear him and the band often enough and, with my partner and friends, make a New Year resolution to put that right. "

"Dear Fiddlestix, Please could you pass on our thanks to the band that played at our wedding. The music was excellent and our guests had a fantastic time. It was lovely to see our friends and family having so much fun on the dance floor! A special thank you to Simon for teaching me the first dance over the phone. It worked perfectly and was a very special moment. Best wishes, Emma (and Tom)"

"Just wanted to drop you a massive thank you for your huge part in making our reception so special last month! You smashed it - we absolutely partied our hearts out on the dancefloor and we know so many of our guests did too (one even told us it was one of the best nights of his life!) You created a brilliant atmosphere from the very first song. Special shout-outs for a) performing our first dance song even though it wasn't on your standard repertoire b) your own dance moves as you were setting down (they didn't go unnoticed!) and c) just being really friendly, down-to-earth guys in the lead-up and on the night itself. Would definitely recommend you so feel free to share the above wherever you like! Cheers, Prash and Sophie"

"Me and my friends had an amazing night with Vintage Voltage at Paper Dress vintage last week! From the room being designed to the setlist, everything seemed like we were back in the 70's! Old Tvs and everything! I would come back without any hesitation! Thanks again for that beautiful night! What a gig."

"From the first contact, Warwickshire Strings were great. I loved listening to the selections they had of the pieces they played on their website and the amount of songs they were able to play was incredible. Rachel was always at hand for advice. In the emotion of the day I can't actually remember walking down the aisle, but thankfully I have been able to watch a video of it. The quartet were fabulous and looking back I can see all the guests admiring the music too. I have had numerous comments from guests about how good the music was during the ceremony and the drinks reception. Thank you so much for being part of my day! "

"We were lucky enough to have Jack sing at our wedding. He sang our chosen song as I walked down the aisle and it was honestly perfect. Obviously his talent goes without saying but he learnt a version of the song that we had chosen without any problems and delivered it so beautifully. We felt very lucky that he was available to perform for us at the most special moment of our day."

"These guys did all the music at Douglas and Helen’s wedding on Saturday - any band who can convincingly slip a Pink Floyd cover into a round of the dashing white sergeant definitely get my vote - please check them out folks! "

"We booked The Ebor Quartet for our original wedding date- June 6 2020. Due to the pandemic, we had to postpone four times. With each change, our contact, Conor, could not have been more understanding, accommodating and was always so quick to respond which, when you are trying to rearrange a wedding in a day, was hugely appreciated! He always had kind words and said nothing was a problem although we know it took a lot of rearranging on his part. Their playlist is excellent- a great mix of classic and modern to choose from. I asked for some from the list and also for some specific songs that weren’t from the list. They took the time to produce the arrangements (some very complicated) and sent them through to make sure we were happy with everything- and they exceeded all expectations. On the day everyone said how amazing the music was, it really made the service and created a lovely atmosphere for the ceremony. It was very special. When looking for all suppliers, it is important to consider the fact that they will become a part of your wedding. Not only are The Ebor Quartet incredibly talented but they were a great support, fun, enthusiastic, they took on all of our requests and I honestly couldn’t be happier that they were a part of our wedding day"
