"Mira & Adam provided the perfect backdrop for my 40th party - such an eclectic age range of guests and they kept everyone happy! Amazing tunes and vocals & wish we could have kept on dancing all night - thank you guys for the music and memories! Mira was so helpful and responsive throughout the booking process - couldn’t recommend highly enough."

"Fire & Rain are the most versatile performers I have had the privilege of working with. I have been working for Carnival Cruise Lines for many years and have yet to enjoy a duo as much as Fire & Rain. I love how they can take a song and make it their own. They would be amazing at weddings, corporate events and even the Superbowl. I hope to work with them again in the future and would love to see them make it big."

"The Mystery Machine were brilliant at our big Street Party in Chelsea Road. They provided stage management and sound mixing services for all the bands throughout the day and then played the headline slot in the evening. They were easy to work with, very professional, and the crowd loved them. "

Hi Steve thank you so much for such wonderful feedback! I’d be delighted to consider a residency. Do let me know when would be a suitable time to meet and discuss. Have a wonderful weekend and send my best wishes to Jules for Mother’s Day.

"You were, as always, amazing. Being a party for a 40th and 80th, with such varying ages, it could have been very difficult to get the music right but you did it perfectly ! I think that everyone had a dance at some point and I have had so many people say to me since the night how good you were. You certainly went the extra mile to make the evening feel special so thank you very much. We certainly will be recommending you at every opportunity! "

"As a wedding venue we get to listen to a huge range of bands with prices varying from £500-£5,000. Sadly price has nothing to do -or so it seems- with professionalism, personality and ability! Jolly Polly and the Pirates is very much at the bottom end of this price spectrum, but very, very much at the top of the performance ratings! To sum them up? They are musicians with really nice personalities who have great technical ability and understanding of sound, mixing and the audience. On bass guitar and vocals is Polly, who is probably one of the most energetic singers we have come across, with great variations, presence and depth. On lead guitar (and keys) Jon has great technical skills and enthusiasm for his role in the band, and on drums (and occasionally keys at the same time!!) a drummer who actually loves his drums - at last someone who realises drums are an instrument, not an object to take out your aggression on, perhaps that is down to his experience and talent. Individually they are great - as a band they are awesome! - Certainly at the top of our list and always hoped for! Alpheton Hall Barns - Historic Suffolk Wedding Venue "

"Always loved the Blues Brothers, so hired 106 Miles to Chicago for my 40th. They were amazing, great vocals, dance routines and audience involvement, they got everyone going and up on the dance floor. My Dad even shook his tailfeather :) Andy and Chris DJ'd the party too, so worked out cheaper than if I'd hired a DJ as well, which I was planning on doing. Andy was great to deal with, easygoing and very professional (obviously knows his stuff). Very happy customer. Very happy to recommend 106 Miles to Chicago. "

"It's No' Reel performed at our wedding at the Albert Halls in Stirling in November. After hearing such great things about them, we actually changed the date of our wedding to ensure they would be free to play! They didn't disappoint on the day. With a mixture of Scottish, English and international guests we thought we would have some ceilidh followed by a disco, but in the end everyone was having such a good time that we just kept on with the ceilidh. From my seven year old nephew to an octogenarian great-aunt, everyone was up dancing all the time. And once the day was over we had a really fun Go Pro video to watch back. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend It's No' Reel to anyone wanting a memorable evening."

"Our Gala evening consisted of a Black Tie Dinner & Dance for an audience of ages 30 to 80. We spent hours researching bands for the event and Delta Band was well worth the effort. They were flexible on timings, appropriately dressed for the occasion and fully engaged with their audience. From the first song to the last note, the dance floor was full with smiling faces. Delta Band hit all the right notes (literally) they played a wide selection of music and songs that kept us all buzzing. The music was brilliant and the girls complemented each other perfectly in song to bring together a truly memorable event. Absolutely the perfect choice."

"The band were very genial and friendly, totally professional and well organised. There were no hiccups, they arrived and straight away started setting up with no fuss. Brass bands are such a good way to enjoy outdoor spaces easily, no need for cables and power etc. so this was perfect for us. The crowd loved it! Their music isn’t exactly traditional brass band tunes, which I was nervous would not be a crowd pleaser. However, their song choices were brilliant, and familiar enough that there was lots of humming, singing along, and dancing. Several of the children danced for the whole two hours, they absolutely loved it! The families were so happy. It was really a brilliant occasion. Exactly what we needed for our business after these lock downs. "

"We booked Absolute Company for a special event we were hosting at a cinema- they were superb. Despite giving them a lot of information at the last minute, they were flexible and forthcoming and really had our audience dancing and cheering. I'd highly recommend them to anyone!"

"The Cheers were amazing, I hired them for my wedding and I cannot recommend them enough. From start to finish there communication was excellent. They spoke with the venue directly and created a stress free experience for me. They answered any question I had, and had a very handy guide to use for timings and common questions from their previous experience. They were brilliant. The band itself is awesome, everyone at the wedding came and asked me where I found the band, they got everyone up and dancing. We had a male and female singer, both were excellent. The song choice they made, had everyone laughing, and bouncing around. You know there brilliant when the venue asked for their details to recommend them to other couples :D I have nothing bad to say, professional throughout, great communication and the music was just perfect. They also learnt our 1st dance song and smashed it out the park. Thanks Ben and the whole band, It was magical Roxanne & Matthew Langley."
