"Just a quick note to say how AMAZING you guys were on Saturday. I feel very lucky to have found such an awesome band that totally made our wedding a party. I am also so grateful to you for learning my request of ‘You’re so cool’. It sounded amazing & added to the whole experience of having the most perfect ceremony. Also thanks for learning my very last minute request of ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered’ I heard a few laughs as we were signing the register. You guys are so talented especially to play the Fresh Prince of Bel Air with no warning. If we’re having a party in the future I’ll be sure to contact you!"

"Mark performed at our wedding and was excellent. Really nice to deal with. The music was perfect and all our guests were very impressed. We would have no hesitation at all in recommending him and would certainly have him again for any future functions."

"Thank you, guys, for finding time beforehand to rehearse with Amy, the bridegroom’s sister, who sang Elton John’s “Your Song” for the bride and groom’s 1st dance. It was beautiful and very special to have her sing their first song with accompaniment from the band. I think everyone was very moved by it (we are hoping someone filmed it but are not sure!). The dance floor was packed all evening for the ceilidh and we all had great fun - which was the intention. It was an amazing day, evening and whole weekend - we carried on the celebrations on Sunday! Thank you to Black Velvet Band for helping to make the wedding so memorable. "

"Basically. The only reason you wouldn't like Dance All Night, is because you are boring and hate amazing music! What a band. The amount of songs they know, means you can really tailor the music to how you want it. It's a given they sound amazing, but with the added benefit of personality and lots of it. The fact the band were interacting with the wedding party, rather than just standing at the front meant our wedding felt more involved. Everyone raved about the band, and personally, as the groom. I could not have wish for anything better I thank you all personally from making our wedding, the most fun, amazing wedding, EVER. "

"What can I say these guys are simply GLORIOUS! Definitely not your average wedding band. We booked them after I saw them do Disneys King of the singers at Golden Acre Park (A personal guilty pleasure of mine) and asked them if they do weddings. Which thankfully they do! After starting with some more mellow swing outdoors as a duo, we had the pleasure of the full band in the evening. They played two full sets of upbeat swing as well as quirky covers of popular songs such as Moloko's Bring it back and Britney Spears Toxic, creating an electric atmosphere. What's more they gave it their all and you could tell they enjoyed themselves too. We couldn't have wished for more. Oly is a showman and got everyone dancing up a storm, but the whole band went above and beyond in our opinion to entertain and delight, they even co-ordinated the first dance and did our Dj set. They were very accommodating and flexible, and gave us all the reassurance we needed as our date came closer. This is important especially if like us you are arranging every detail by yourself (and therefore have no grounds for comparison). To have confidence in your suppliers is priceless. Big thank you to the The Dixie Rhythm Busters. You ROCKED our wedding!!!"

"Woooo, Shama and the 515 crew, what a fantastic group of musicians and entertainers. Shama and the crew turned our Mehfil night into a storm. Every conversation about the party with our friends has started with comments about Shama and the band. The comments range from ‘…her voice is like an instrument…’, ‘…the band can play, man…’, ‘…I’m converted to Hindi music…’, ‘…the signers got the most amazing voices…’, ‘…these guys are craftsmen…’, ‘…the young guy on the left - so cute..’ and… From the first conversation when I was making enquiries about dates to the day after the event you are dealing with a warm, professional artists that brings clarity to all the big stuff and the fine details. We appreciated a whole bunch of free advice from Shama before the event and the odd email every so often to ensure everything was on track. On the day the best thing we did was relax and leave the music in the hands of the pros – this what they do. They controlled the tempo, the songs and had the guests captivated from the get go. Apart from playing the expected Bollywood and Punjabi tunes that got everyone swaying and dancing and they even squeezed a Bob Marley tune or two. It’s a pleasure to meet and hear folks like this."

"We booked Vinyl & Velvet for our awards night, with a mixed audience of male and females all over the age of 40 as we thought the motown/soul would suit the audience. Vinyl & Velvet was fantastic, on time, very friendly , and is a wonderful person and singer. Everyone enjoyed the two sets put on by LVinyl & Velvet , got people up dancing and singing. Would highly recommend and book again."

"Oscar and Dom played for our ceremony and drinks reception at our wedding and were absolutely wonderful! It was easy to arrange everything with them, they were always quick to respond to emails and proactive with logistics. They were happy to take our requests for aisle entrance and exit songs. We had inside and outside areas for our drinks reception and they were happy to move between the two half way through the set, we really appreciated the flexibility of this! They play beautifully and it was so lovely hearing the music play across the gardens. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other people, they really enhanced our day!"

"A big thanks to Mike and the rest of the band for a brilliant evening. Everyone has said how much they thoroughly enjoyed it. A special thank you to Alan, the dance caller. He did a great job - quite a comedian! Finally a big thanks to the band for welcoming our fiddle-playing friend Richard into their ranks for the evening. He said he had a fantastic time. What a great party band the guys make! I'm very happy to recommend them to anyone having a bash. "
