"“Clearly very talented musicians, we can’t recommend Simon Ritchie Music enough. Simon and the band kept the atmosphere at our Summer Ball upbeat with a good mixture of old and new, leading to some anthemic tunes to round off which had the whole dancefloor going. With a vast setlist, Simon easily navigated the evening through dinner to later in the evening.” (Corporate, Hertfordshire Building Control)"

"I just wanted to say a big thank you for playing at our wedding at Lulworth Castle, you guys were absolutely brilliant and were everything we had hoped for. You perfectly captured the mood of the day and everyone said how much they enjoyed the music and dancing along. I only wish Luke and I could have stayed longer to dance more! Luke and I are still so thrilled about our day and how perfect it was for us and your music at the reception drinks and in the evening played a huge part in making it just as we had imagined. I think two of your biggest fans are my grandparents who amazed me by not only lasting the whole night but also dancing on several occasions – my grandma called me up on Saturday to sing Chattanooga Choo Choo down the phone at me because she said she has been singing it every day since the wedding!

"Ivan is a really nice Guy and a great drummer. I have known Ivan since he was a young boy and know his skills well and would recommend him and his band the Runaways in a heartbeat they are reliable friendly and get the crowd going a must for your party or venue. July 9, 2013, Andy studied with Ivan at Swanley Comprehensive, Andy became a DJ. "

"We absolutely loved Stargazers. We booked the acoustic duo for the afternoon drinks reception at our wedding and then the rest of the band for the evening. They were fantastic and the dance floor was full all night. We have had lots of positive feedback from our guests with lots of people asking where we found them. Thank you so much for making our first dance and wedding so special. We would definitely recommend Stargazers and book again!"

"Saw Whisky & Ginger at our local golf club last weekend and they were amazing! The voice! The songs! They had us oldies up dancing long after we'd normally be heading for bed! Would thoroughly recommend anybody to book and can't wait to have you back at the club!"

"Your look is spot on and your harmonies mellifluous and perfect for the music of the 40s. It was a joy to hear your rendition of We’ll Meet Again – thank you for sharing it with me."

"What a fantastic way to celebrate my wife's 60th! Dave brought his guitar and created a totally unique atmosphere through his impressive jazz and swing sets, which made the day that extra bit special. A pleasure to deal with, and to have at any party or event. Personable and friendly. I would highly recommend Dave, with or without his band, if you are looking for a 'swinging' time. "

"The Back Beat Buskers played and entertained at my friends 50th birthday party. They are a very talented band with a great repertoire of songs and they really understand how to entertain both during dinner and when the party needs to get going. As an added bonus they are all very easy on the eye which gave great delight among the female guests at our party."
