"We can't thank Mainstage enough for playing at our wedding at Hengrave Hall, this summer. They were brilliant. Their sound was amazing! We were truly lucky to find them. We loved their stage presence-loved how they got the crowd going, the inflatable musical instruments and even when they let my 2 year old nephew on stage! Brilliant touch. We wish the band all the best for the future and we hope to see them again soon!"

"I've worked with Rachel on a number of occasions and have never had the pleasure of working with a more talented cellist nor as consummate a professional. Rachel always delivers at the highest quality, both with regards her playing as well as her role booking musicians for gigs and recording sessions. Even at short notice, Rachel has always ensured delivery of top quality musicians. I never consider anybody else when it comes to booking strings for a studio session, and I would rarely recommend any other string group for music at weddings and other special events. Warwickshire Strings continue to impress me and I always look forward to future projects working with them. "

"I hired Blue Jewel Ceilidh band to play for my 60th birthday party at my local village hall. I had never heard them play before but going on previous recommendations I felt certain they would be okay. How right I was! Well, if fact they were more than okay - they were bandtastic! Their playing is brilliant and they created a fantastic atmosphere. Steve made sure he brought me and my husband and sons right into the swing of things, mentioning us by name whenever he could and he certainly made it feel like "my" party and not just any old party they might be playing at. There was quite a mix of ages, but everyone joined in with the dancing, (yes, even my non-dancing- unless-he's-had-a-few-pints, husband!!). Steve and his colleague were excellent callers and made the dances very easy and great fun. We are still laughing and talking about what a wonderful evening it was. I have no hesitation in recommending Blue Jewel. They will make your party go with a swing! "

"Hired JBMAC to play in my venue in Marlow, they were absolutely perfect for the venue and the atmosphere was electric, the energy was relentless and exactly what was needed for a bank holiday weekend! On top of this, they were a dream to work with and just all round good people Would recommend to anyone "

"Ginger and her band played my surprise 50th Party and were absolutely incredible. Ginger especially got to know the names of some of the guests and encouraged them onto the dance floor, even my 78 year old Mum! It was a brilliant evening and I would recommend them for any party where you want excellent music, funny one liners and a lead singer with more sass than is technically legal! Thank you for being amazing!"

"We booked Party Gangsters for a 70th Birthday and they went down an absolute treat. A well thought through range of 60s,70s,80s and 90s music really well delivered with great sounds and harmonies. They were so well received that the wedding in the other function room gate-crashed our dance floor. I will book them again without hesitation.  "

"I cannot say thank you enough to Ian and the whole band. We booked them for our wedding party after our elopement and from the very first communication, it has been a pleasure. We booked around a year before our party and I very much felt we were looked after from the beginning. On the day itself, Ian was a dream. He just took me under his wing and did everything he could to reassure us and also to make sure we had a lovely time! It was perfect. All of our guests complimented the band and have had a couple of people ask for details for their parties. We had guests as young as 2yrs old, up to 70s and there was something for everyone. Ian’s interaction with the kids was brilliant and the guests generally. It felt like we were partying with friends. Great selection of songs and the live sets were really good! Wish the night didn’t have to end. Now I need another excuse for a big party! Thank you The Fireflies!! X"

"Having already heard great reports about Jack we booked him for our wedding, he attended the whole day, singing in church, during the afternoon tea and at the evening reception. It made such a difference to have exactly what we wanted and with absolutely no fuss at all. Jack took time to work with us to tailor our perfect day - our guests were overwhelmed by his talent and how special he made it. If you want to take the worry out of the music for your event Jack is your perfect professional - nothing is too much trouble."

"Sarah has very kindly played at two of our fundraising events which we hold every other year. It’s a fun event which increases in size and popularity every time. She is so good at getting the set exactly right to the vibe of the event. An absolute pleasure to listen to!"

"We booked Hannah for our Masonic Ladies Night event, and we are so glad we did. From start to finish, Hannah was an absolute delight—her performance during our meal provided the perfect backdrop of elegant, beautifully played and sung music that set a wonderful tone for the evening. After the speeches, Hannah performed a second set that truly elevated the atmosphere. Her talent as both a vocalist and pianist shone through, bringing an extra touch of sophistication and fabulous entertainment to the night. If you're considering booking Hannah for your event, we wholeheartedly recommend her. She is a gifted performer who will add grace, charm, and top-class entertainment to any occasion. Thank you Hannah on behalf of Calum and I. It was a pleasure to meet you and hear your talents. "
