"I’ve seen Bad Obsession twice now having travelled from one side of the country to the other to see them perform. They’re excellent. They’re fine musicians with a hugely enjoyable set list, some older tracks, some newer, all performed to an exceptional level of professionalism and musicianship. They’re a pleasure to listen to and seem to be having a really enjoyable time performing. If you’re looking for an exceptional cover-band who will bring your event to life you wouldn’t go far wrong with asking Bad Obsession to perform - you won’t be disappointed."

"Bessie’s life in blues brought back to life. Some performers deserve to be known by more than their work. Bessie Smith won fame as Empress of the Blues in the 1020’s, but there was more to her life than money and fame. She died in 1937, but 80 years on a good sized crowd were held rapt at the Thunderbolt as Dave Merrick narrated her life story, from a ragged upbringing in the American South, with the help of original recordings. Bessie shot to fame because her unique vocal style could cut through the limitations of 1920s recording technology. But it was the live performances the Totterdown audience were waiting for, and Natalie Davis on vocals, with Dave on guitar and Brenan Whitmore on saxophone did not disappoint. Renditions of I Need A Little Sugar in my Bowl, and ‘Taint Nobodies Business If I Do made the magic of Bessie shine, from the slow paced blues of the 1920s to the syncopated swing of the 1930. . the show had the audience rapt. - Paul Breeden, South Bristol Voice (May 01, 2017)"

"Eccentric pony were absolutely amazing, performing at our wedding reception. They provided so much energy and made sure the dance floor was filled the entire time! Their repertoire is really varied and played songs we requested, as well as classic sing-alongs to end the night. The guys were really friendly and helpful during the wedding planning, keeping us reassured and taking away any hassle and minimising any wedding nerves. They were the perfect wedding band for us and We would hire again in an instant for any future event - definitely recommend!"

"We’re so glad we booked Acousticity, they were just what we were after for our wedding! We had a sound limiter at our venue, so were looking for something a bit quieter and they certainly delivered even with the volume limit. They hit all of the right notes for us and we would definitely recommend them. Thanks again! "

"We hired Emily & Tom to play two sets during our drinks reception. They were absolutely amazing- unbelievably talented and such a lovely couple. We asked for more upbeat song choices and they did just that! Guests commented how special it was to have live music in the background and it was a perfect addition to our day! I would recommend Emily and Tom to anyone who appreciates good music! 🥰"

"River Rhythms absolutely smashed it and read the crowd perfectly. The afternoon "acoustic" set was classy and great drinks accompaniment, while the two evening sets were amazing fun. The chaps were chilled out but professional. So many people commented on how good they were and the dance floor was full from start to finish."
