"Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you, Lois and the band for the fabulous music last night. The organisers were thrilled with how you were received (my name was on the line here) and obviously grateful that you kept the crowd pleasers coming! Awesome! "

"We booked the Black Velvet Band Gypsy Duo (accordion and fiddle) to play at our wedding celebration garden party in August. Mike and Jase played exactly the music we wanted, a lovely mix of traditional, modern, jazz, Irish and were happy to play requests. We live on a farm and when the duo started up, all our cows came running up the field and stayed close to enjoy the lovely sounds coming from the garden. I have to say, the two were perfect for our garden party and the sound of the fiddle and accordion ringing out into the evening was absolutely lovely and was thoroughly enjoyed by our guests whose ages ranged from six to ninety! Mike and Jase are lovely, affable chaps and we should have no hesitation in booking them again if we have another “do”! I highly recommend them. "

"It is difficult to capture just how fabulous Lisa was before as well as on the day. She is such a lovely, fun and friendly woman. We really enjoyed working with her in planning the day and her singing down the phone to us as she explored various song suggestions will be a fond memory for us both... leaving us very excited for the day itself. We both love music, as do our families and put a lot of effort to line up some fantastic musical acts in addition to Lisa, including a 6 piece band and a solo guitarist we flew in from abroad. We also had a number of first class entertainers and performers....however despite this, the number one comment we had from every guest during the day and since has been the dramatic and hugely positive impression Lisa had on everyone. We almost felt bad our guests were giving her so much attention and trying to book her for their own events, including a lot of people who had already booked their musicians and were now having second thoughts!! We wanted the wow factor and Lisa certainly provides that. We can’t think of anyone we’ve ever seen musically who is so versatile and yet consistently high quality, indeed... top class. From classical church performances (she is very knowledgable and comfortable in working with you and your ceremony) ... she also learnt a particular piece for us that we’ve never heard covered and yet she delivered it as if it was her favourite song while also very much making it her own. Switching to a top class contemporary set during the drinks reception took everyone by surprise....and her true personality really came out when she switched into a medley of her own hip hop / original numbers blended with a traditional Irish music session, a sing off and an Irish dance combo. There is little to add to what others more qualified have already said in terms of her pure and incredible voice. Beyond this... to give you a sense of her capability... she was able to jam with another musician she only met on the day... to pick up, tune and play a new instrument (family heirloom banjo) as a special request.... to captivate 150 guests of all age ranges and from across the globe, and was able to keep our guests enthralled and enchanted with her for over 6 hours. We’ve met someone who we will enjoy following and listening to for the rest of our lives and who we will always feel lucky we were able to have share our special day. I suspect we will be going to see her gig and perform again very soon (if our guests don’t beat us to it first!). "

"Thank you so much! I wish I could have been in the room while the guests were waiting to hear more ! I did receive feedback that our guests recognized some of the Indian songs and they were all complimentary. I thought you and your team were wonderful! Would love to do it all over again! "

"Thank you so much for playing for our wedding – the music you played for us signing the register was just perfect, and several of the guests have been commenting on how much they enjoyed your playing before the ceremony. It means a lot to us that you agreed to play, and we are really grateful."

"Thank you all for your coming down and performing for us, I thought you played beautifully and for me it really made the day special. I just wished I could have stood and listened to you a bit more instead of having to chat and have my picture taken! A lot of people commented on how good you were, and there are a least a few people (including my mum and me) that will be looking out for events to book you for again. All the best and thanks again Toby Burns (groom, Burgh House, Hampstead - 2/5/15 - Bowfiddle Trio)"

"The band was fantastic. It created exactly the right atmosphere for the party and the repertoire went down very well with the guest. The band was very organised and professional, and all the arrangements went very smoothly. Highly recommended. "

"Many thanks for helping making it such a wonderful evening. You were fantastic and everyone has been asking where we found you! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. It was great seeing so many people up and dancing and all your songs including "we are family" went down really well. Great choices for the evening. Hope to see you again soon."

"The Rogues are an amazing band!!! As they promised, they had everyone up and dancing within minutes, and did a great performance for our party with a diverse range of songs. Our venue commented they were one of the best bands they'd seen there, and our guests all said they made the night. Thanks a lot guys for a great night!!!"
