"We booked The Ragtag Misfits to entertain guests at our daughter’s Christening party during the summer. We were looking for something different to the usual “disco dj” and also needed to keep both adults and children happy. This eclectic duo brought an almost “festival vibe” to the party and were truly amazing, playing recognisable tunes in their own (I guess you could call it “bohemian”) Rag Tag style. What’s more, they provided a guitar case full of percussion instruments so the little ones could join in, such a wonderful touch. It got too hot on the day of the party and the Rag Tag Misfits moved outdoors for the last hour, something a DJ wouldn’t have been able to do so easily with all the setting up needed. Helly and Andy are professional, reliable and friendly as well as fabulous entertainers. Thank you so much – everyone loved you"

"The Ukes of Hazzard performed at our wedding ceremony and reception, and absolutely set the tone for a night to remember. Everything was smooth and professional and we loved the selection of songs. Guests constantly commented on how special they made the occasion, and what a unique and fun band they were. Would highly recommend booking the Ukes of Hazzard for your event if you’re looking something a bit different that guests and attendees will absolutely love!"

"Excellent band. All our guests loved them and lots of people asked for their details. They let us pick songs we wanted from their extensive list so we were able to tailor the music to our friends. There were sparklers, limbo and one of our friends got dragged up to perform with them. Lots of great memories. Really wonderful and talented performers that made the party. We always knew we wanted a live band and they were worth every penny!"

"From initial booking to the end of their performance this band were professional and friendly, and we knew they had everything under control! Everyone was so impressed by the band, and the singers voice was amazing! They played two 45 minute sets, one during the dinner to create atmosphere and then the second to get everyone up dancing! The singers ability to read the atmosphere and to choose songs accordingly meant I felt at ease throughout the night with such a professional singer."

"I would highly recommend The Verge if you're considering a band. From the start the band have been amazing. They played our first song which made the awkward first dance so much easier. The sets were incredible and had everyone dancing. There's not many bands that will invite your 7 year old onto the stage to play the tambourine for a song, something he'll always remember."

"Solid Gold were the band I chose for my 70th birthday party. They responded immediately to my initial requests and communication was excellent throughout the process. In the day they arrived early despite quite a long journey to get to our corner of Kent, and began setting up immediately. They are a talented and amiable bunch of excellent professional musicians who provided us with two brilliant one hour sets of music we’d agreed in advance, ranging from 50’s classics through to up to date popular bangers. This is their true strength; an ability to cover any kind of music to match the occasion. I cannot recommend Solid Gold highly enough, they’re a pleasure to deal with and provided a superb musical backdrop to my special evening. Thanks again guys!"

"We booked Funk With Us for our wedding in October and wow, it was the best decision ever!! The music and dancing part of the wedding was so important for us and SWU absolutely smashed it - so much energy from start to finish - we (and our guests) never left the dancefloor. It exactly what we'd hoped for and dreamed of... especially after 2 postponements! We loved being able to choose our favourite music from the SWU repertoire - which Lilac then transformed into the perfect setlist for our party. After the wedding, so many of our guests commented on how amazing the band was - and its the music makes the party!! Huge thank you to Lilac and Remko for everything."

"Dear James You were all fantastic! Thank you for playing at our wedding reception. You made no fuss that we were running late, coped with all the requests we gave you in the run up with the french and Belgian music and are a brilliant band. We had a great time dancing, as did all our guests. If you are able to send the photos to us that would be lovely (I m in the post facebook era now…). We may book you again for a future event! All the best with your music - carry on playing! Helen & Pascal"

"I just wanted to write to thank you for the amazing music yourself and the band played on Saturday for our wedding. I can’t tell you how many compliments we’ve had on how great you were. I’m sorry about the slight delay to starting (I promise that wasn’t all our fault - there were a few delays from the venue side ?), but we were just so grateful for the incredible atmosphere you and the band gave to the evening reception. The dance floor was packed the whole time and we’re just so thankful! You’re all super talented and thanks for being so great with all the communication leading up to the wedding. We had an absolute blast! Thank you again. Best wishes, Liv and Will "
