Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"I'm so impressed with Glo! We had a mini 'festival' for my 40th birthday, with some friends' bands playing, and then Glo as the 'headliner'. They were friendly and professional, and flexible with timings and set lengths (since timings didn't go to plan!). They made great song choices that everyone enjoyed, including some really interesting medleys and smooth transitions between songs. And they are very skilled and sound great! I can't recommend them highly enough :)"

Hi Ben. Thanks so much for your fantastic review. Your 40th birthday was such a brilliant idea with you and your friends’ bands playing. It was a really fun atmosphere . We loved being part of your special celebration and are so pleased you all enjoyed it. Thanks again for booking us! Angus, Bruce and Nick.

"The Charm Offensive have played for Hull Red many times, and every time they bring fun, energy, talent and professionalism. Our customers love them! It’s all about their ability to engage with the crowd and make everyone in the audience feel seen and appreciated. And as organisers we love them too, because they make the audience happy but also because they’re a dream to work with. They’re organised and good at communicating. What more could you want!"

"I’m just back from honeymoon and at the earliest opportunity wanted to contact you regarding Primed who performed at our wedding. Its fair to say that our expectations were high (having seen the demo's!) - and that Primed exceeded them in every way! they were truly fantastic, very professional, yet relaxed and fun - the music was outstanding. They definitely got the party started and at numerous points in the evening I looked around to see EVERYONE on the dance floor! Their music and energy, and excellent song list, kept the party going well into the night (no easy feat when you're dealing with people who arrived at a wedding ceremony at 10.30 am and have been on their feet for 12 hours already!)  I would not hesitate to recommend primed - and would happily provided any reference you need - and am happy for you to use my comments above should you wish. Best Regards, Victoria and Mike"

"Kirsty was a breath of fresh air from her review page. We were looking for an informal and flexible DJ that would play ‘our tunes’, and Kirsty put us straight at ease with “one persons’s cheese is another person’s gold” – and really got to know our music tastes. She was incredibly laid back, accepting random additions to our playlist thought (and was clear that was for a sample, not the entire playlist as she’d curate similar songs and link it all together). She turned up promptly, got herself set up with no fuss, and managed to keep the dancefloor full throughout the entire evening. I loved her choices, she worked magic. Wonderful DJ, would recommend. (August 2023)"

"We were so impressed with the Gospel Choir from start to finish. It was really important to us to have live music throughout our entire day, particularly the ceremony, and what drew us to CGC was not only their beautiful voices but also the unique set up that they will learn and perform any song of your choosing for your Ceremony instead of providing a rigid setlist - something you don’t see very often. In the run up to the wedding, communication with Laura was so quick and easy and they even accommodated having my brother play saxophone alongside them - a special surprise for all of the family. The guests absolutely loved the choir, they sounded amazing, and it made our ceremony, drinks reception and first dance so special. Thank you."

"We enjoyed a simply superb Evening with Rod at Burhill on Friday where we met the delightful Paul backstage. Paul helped our little boy, who became an instant fan, with his request for the pre-show music. After dinner Paul transformed into Rod and played a superb set that had the whole place rocking. Brilliant night, thanks to Paul and Strangey Promotions. "

"The trio played at a reception for our son's barmitzvah (but it could have been any party/reception) - they were brilliant. Lovely to deal with beforehand and they created a great sound that really helped the atmosphere. Would definitely use them again! "

"We have had Nev and Russ play at the Boat Inn Penallt on several occasions. They play a great selection of music from the 60s onwards. The duo are favourites with our locals so we would very much recommend them for music nights and special occasions"
