"Fabulous from start to finish! Amazing band and singer. So pleased we booked The Groove Ambassadors for our Jewish wedding. They played a Jewish medley at the start and then I was able to tweak some music from their set list to make it more personal to us. A mixture of soul and more current music to work with an age range of guests. We ended the night on ‘We are Family’ as we have brought our two families together. The singer interacted with our guests as did the musicians by coming into the crowd. It was all pitched perfectly and our guests loved the music so much we all danced the night away and the dance floor was full for the majority of the night. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this band. Mark was contactable via email or phone calls to arrange everything in advance for our day. The band arrived and sorted the sound check before the guests arrived and all went smoothly on the day. Can’t thank you enough for making our wedding so special! Best of luck for all future gigs!"

"Radio Dukes played at our wedding and they were fabulous, all of our guests commented on how brilliant they were. I literally danced all night, they packed the dance floor full all night and were just brilliant. I would definitely recommend them for any occasion. All correspondence was professional and quick and they were super flexible. Ive never hired a band before but they made the whole experience stress free! "

"Best decision I made was hiring Chris for my son's 18th Party (at the last minute). Everyone was up dancing and we all had a great time. Chris is a great singer/musician and very professional, I would book him again no question! "

"A HUGE thank you to Mark and the band for playing at our wedding. Mark played saxophone during the post-ceremony drinks which everyone loved - especially my Nan! The band played at the evening reception and they were absolutely fantastic and had everyone up on their feet dancing - the dance floor was never empty while they were playing ! I’ve had many guests say to me how genuinely amazing the band were and that it was the best band they’d seen at a wedding! They made our wedding evening so much fun and I would definitely recommend this band for any large event. Thank you so much. "

"Our music evening at Novotel Manchester Centre was elevated by the Rory Duffy Trio. Their talent and skill made for an entirely lovely evening for all of our guests, many of whom commented on how much they enjoyed the performance. I would highly recommend this group again as they were not only talented and played wonderful music but also displayed a high level of professionalism throughout the evening.” - Novotel, Manchester, June 2011"

"Thank you so much for a fantastic night. You all worked so hard to ensure that EVERYBODY joined in the dancing and had a great evening. I think there must have been some sore feet the next day! Your voices are incredible and it was well worth the extra for the horn section! We're keen to book you for next year’s event so fingers crossed that you are all free!"

"Our wedding was perfect and my wife and I owe a huge thank you to Shakers Gold for playing a big part in this. The rendition of the first dance was excellent, as was the whole set. Kept people dancing while not being overpowering and adjusted to late timing changes without difficulty. True pros and superstars.Thank you"

"Wow, what a singer! Lucy was an absolute star, travelling up from London with her guitarist to my party in the Midlands to help me out at short notice, as I was struggling to find an act I liked and was available for my birthday party. What I didn't realise was, not only is she absolutely lovely but she has an amazing voice, great range, a huge variety of songs and she even did me an Elvis number by special request. Her guitarist was a quality act too. I know there are lots of 10/10 ratings on here, but seriously I don't think you could give Lucy any less, if you hire her, she will make your event a special one."

"We had the absolute pleasure of having Dizzy Brasscals play two fantastic sets at our wedding on 22/06/2024, and we couldn't be happier! During our wedding breakfast, their first set was a hit creating the perfect atmosphere for our guests with most clapping and dancing along. The highlight of the evening was their second set alongside our DJ, where they performed as a roaming brass band, energizing the dancefloor and making the night unforgettable. If you're looking for a top-notch wedding band and something a little different, we highly recommend Dizzy Brasscals for their incredible talent and engaging performance."
