"Valtie and the team were amazing, they turned up on time, setup and performed very professionally. They listened to my brief for the type of songs and played the perfect set. I would definitely use them again."

"Crimson Sky were a brilliant band for our wedding, they were so friendly and professional to deal with before and during the wedding. They made everything run smoothly and any requests were carried out with no fuss. They really got the party going with a mixture of classics and newer songs that were a hit with all our guests. We loved them and would recommend booking them for any occasion! Great band x "

"The velvet of Deitrich, the silk of Diana Ross, the exposed nerve of Bessie Smith, the gravel of Billie Holiday, the lungs of Grace Slick and the soul of her own very special sound!"

"For a surprise big birthday, Alice Black and her Jazz trio were fabulous! Great communication beforehand, and at the event, she has such an amazing voice, and a warm, professional and encouraging style, we filled the dance floor. She even persuaded my teenage son to join in with his sax, a magical memory for all of us."

"I first encountered The Tuning Forks fairly recently, at a 200 capacity independent venue in the Strathbungo area of Glasgow. I was there as House Audio Tech and it was one of those nights where before the soundcheck had even commenced, I had a sense that something pretty special was about to happen. The individual tones they delivered during soundcheck were staggeringly rich and I knew that once the faders were at unity and the ensemble played as a unit that my initial instinct had to be correct. I was NOT prepared for the emotive, playful and dare I say, danceable set which we were treated to. Like an organism made of limbs that mostly supported each other without obstruction, ego or flashiness, but with occasional forays into wild and feral territories; always as a unit and simultaneously bubbling like a pot on the stage with sudden bursts of joyous phrase manipulation or flurries of individual hyper-expression that always teased and never outstayed their welcome. I was left shellshocked and almost lost for words immediately following their performance. Frivolity, lullabying, romance, questing, struggle, sadness, ecstasy and introspection seemed to come like waves from the stage but, the overall feeling was that the explorations I was witness to were a fun and gentle love letter to the magic of the life experience. In summation… There are very few artists that inspire me to lower my inhibitions enough to literally ASK to work with them again as soon as possible… but that’s exactly what was called for!"

"What a band! Thank you so much Karen and team for your professionalism and superb performance. We loved dancing to your great range of material with slick song transitions and epic belters - Proud Mary was just too good! So glad we opted for the full 8-piece lineup, having that extra touch of brass made it for us. Hope we can party with you again soon!"

"Louise is rapidly becoming an institution within the Booking Office at the St Pancras Renaissance hotel. The soulful songstress captivates the bustling crowd from the first note of her totally unique voice. Louise brings soulful classics to the modern arena with a respect that clearly demonstrates the love for her craft. Her bubbly nature off stage makes her a wonderful weekly addition."

"I recently had Absolute Company play at my wedding, what a wonderful experience. The floor didn't empty from the start of the night to the finish. No request was too big, we had asked they join in part way through our first dance song, which they agreed to do and it made the occasion all that more special, the floor was filled within moments. As with most weddings our schedule was over running, the band fit in with us every step of the way, they were polite, professional and friendly, it was an absolute pleasure to have them part of our special day. All of our guests commented on how great it was to have a live band. If you are thinking of a live band for your next event I can highly recommend Absolute Company."

"We hired Unwritten Duo to perform at a Private house/Garden Party for my parents wedding anniversary. She turned up on time with all her own gear, set up without fuss, and was really professional. She did 2 sets, interacted with guests and reacted to the audience, mood well and really made the party. Excellent singer and vocals with a brilliant personality. Definitely recommend her and will consider using her again. Andy Moore "

"I just wanted to say thank you for all being so breathtakingly fantastic! I was so happy when I saw you all and all my nerves disappeared. You made my evening. I’ve always loved that sound and to finally hear it at my party really took my breath away. Thank you for making such a happy memory for me. I’ll never forget it. "
