Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"Elephants in the Room are a sensational, exciting, versatile band that will make any small or large venue rock. The music suits all tastes, ranging from the sixties to current popular anthems and includes slow, soulful ballads and energetic heavy rock. This isn’t just a good live band but a mesmerising performance totally engaging the audience. We hired Elephants in the Room for a private party and they delivered on every count – kept 100 people dancing and singing all evening. This is the ultimate live party band. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough"

"Amazing night with joyous music from the band from start to finish. Very accommodating for our age span of 8 years to 80 years! Plenty of caller participation to get us all going in fun dances which everyone said made them ache the next day! I heartily recommend them. Very friendly too! "

"We just wanted to say thank you for your helping us find and hire Andrew. He did a great job and sounded great. Please let him know how great we (and all our wedding guests) thought he was as I didn’t have a chance to say hello on the day. "

"Iris was an absolute pleasure to work with. Very professional, she had completely understood my clients' wishes for their party and delivered a top quality experience for them. We are very satisfied with her skills and performance and we look forward to booking her again!"

"The early part of the day was covered by your HARPIST, she was extremely accomodating moving her position (and heavy harp) 3 times at our request including onto the balcony whilst photographs were being taken outside. Her flexibility and willingness to do this was well above and beyond the call of duty and I would be grateful if you would pass on our very sincere thanks for her support as I missed her departure on the day. And of course the music, a mixture of East and West, was superb and enjoyed and commented on by all. The Wedding Breakfast was accompanied by music from your STRING QUARTET who were similarly flexible when we moved their position. Music was again a mixture of Bollywood and classical/jazz/film music and, once again, enjoyed by all. Finally my thanks to you, your response to my very late request for musicians was both friendly and professional and your ability to provide to the specifications I supplied (a mixture of Indian and western music) was unique and certainly saved the day for me. In closing I would have no hesitation in recommending your organisation to others and would be happy for you to publish this note in part or full as you desire. Regards Nigel"

"Mr Love was truly fantastic - His happiness and party mode was contagious - He brought several instruments for the guests to play with - He had a full sound system and ability to play Aux music from iPhone - He stayed for over 7 hours even though we only agreed 3 hours I would highly recommend him for a fun party!"

"Dear Tony and The Band.A very belated but heartfelt thank you for providing the music for our Civil Partnership. We and our guests thought you were fantastic and you really got people dancing. It made for a great evening. We also really appreciated you going the extra mile by learning a new song for our First Dance - but glad we have introduced you to Pink Martini. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others and we will come and see you again if we spot you playing locally.With Best Wishes, Sarah and Sarah - Civil Partnership, Coombe Lodge - April 2012"

"What a magical time we had! Vicky and the Devon Strings were a treat to listen to and a treat to interact with. We had a wonderful gathering of people to celebrate the retirement of a very dear friend, and many of the people there were knowledgeable about music. The Devon String quartet fulfilled all of our expectations and beyond. What a delight to hear such professional and sensitive playing, performed with such kind hearts and obvious joy. Thank you so much Devon Strings for a splendid evening that was made so very memorable by your presence and delightful music across a broad and beautiful repertoire!"

"I recently booked House of Chords to play a gig at my wedding reception party at relatively short notice. The party was held on a Thames river boat cruise in London. I liaised directly with Mike from the outset, and was pleasantly greeted by an exceptionally professional service. Attentive to every detail, Mike addressed all of my concerns promptly ensuring total peace of mind. On the evening of the gig, House of Chords were ready and eager to please when all our guests arrived and delivered the goods musically. They are exceptionally talented musicians with a great, friendly demeanour. The evening was enjoyed immensely by everyone and I would have no reservations whatsoever in recommending House of Chords to anyone to play any gig large or small with minimum of fuss and maximum impact!"
