"Lilac, Remko and all of the band are simply brilliant!! Wholeheartedly recommended! We hired Funk With Us to play at our wedding party. From the very first enquiry Lilac was super friendly, very considerate of what we wanted, flexible and always there to answer our questions and offer good suggestions on the song lists, set-up, etc. And the performance on the night was amazing!! High quality sound and musicianship, but more importantly the whole band did a fantastic job in creating a fun party vibe which got everyone dancing for hours. All of our guests commented for days afterwards how great they were! Thank you Funk With Us, you guys rock!!! ?"

"Rachel Mercer is a well-established and versatile entertainer with great charm and charisma. Her extensive repertoire will appeal to all audiences. Her range includes Classical and Stage Musical songs as well as current popular numbers. As a regular producer of professional theatre and variety shows I have no hesitation in recommending Rachel who has headlined such shows for me with great success. Rachel is one of the most popular vocal entertainers in the show business. Des Day. "

"We booked The Latin Inquisition as a two piece band to perform at our wedding reception. From the time of enquiry, the band were friendly, professional and efficient to communicate with. They provided us with a varied and extensive repertoire for us to select the songs we wanted them to play and even said they could learn and play a special request - they can now add 'Despacito' to their catalogue! Their song list is a mixture of well known popular English and Spanish songs adapted in their own unique style, along with a number of lesser known mainly instrumental tracks from Latin musicians - a nice balance. The band come fully equipped with their own PA system which they can fit in around whatever sound equipment is already there. They performed 2x45 mins sets and were absolutely brilliant! Musically the lads are extremely talented guitarists and excellent entertainers - and put out a big sound for a duo! The skill and talent required to play and sing in such a manner should not be underestimated - absolute professionals! They sounded amazing, very unique and we loved every minute of the performance and had a good old dance! Feedback from our guests was all positive - they're amazing musicians, and a very entertaining and original act to highly recommend. "

"What can we say?! You guys were fantastic, we had so much fun as did our guests who have not stopped with the compliments since. It was our first ceilidh dance like many of our guests but it mattered not at all, Kip was brilliant at calling the moves and getting everyone up on their feet having a go and managing to get us holding it together which is no mean feat when it comes to rhythmically challenged mates!! And for those of my guests who have been to many a ceilidh dance, they too couldn't praise the band highly enough and all said it was the best they have been to. One very happy bride :-) I'd recommend Blue Jewel to anybody wanting to inject some fun into any party - the perfect ice breaking, crowd pleasing entertainment, everyone can join in and have a blast, no rhythm required!!

"Well what can we say! Lucy was absolutely fantastic arrived on time with her equipment set up ready for the evening. Lucy sang lots of different songs from old to new keeping the ears of our guests entertained ready for more. Lucy was absolutely amazing such a talented lady would love to have Lucy at another event. The only down side was that the evening seemed to go to fast but as the saying goes time flys when your having fun. Would so love to see Lucy again in the future absolutely fantastic performance what an amazing Lady."

"Latina Festivale delivered a lively and energetic set at the King's Head. Blending laid back Bossa Nova with upbeat salsa and popular songs, perfect for a seasonal summer's day barbecue, their music was enjoyed by all of our customers.”"

"I can’t even begin to express how incredible this band was at our wedding. From the very first song to the final encore, they were truly amazing to watch. They weren’t just playing music; they were engaging the entire room, dancing with guests, getting people involved, and creating an atmosphere that felt completely electric. Their talent is unreal. Every song was spot-on, vocals were flawless, and the energy never dropped. Hands down, they were the highlight of the entire day. We’ve had so many guests tell us they were the best wedding band they’ve ever seen — and we couldn’t agree more. If you’re even thinking about booking them, do it. You will not regret it!"

"The RockPins performed at our wedding in July at Cooling Castle Barn. They performed brilliantly, were wonderfully enthusiastic and cooperative on the day and the run up to it. Their song selection is varied and they really did play something for everyone. They performed our first dance song, our father daughter dance and were our main evening entertainment. It suited our day down to the ground and really had our guests moving by the end of the night. They were exactly what we wanted for our evening and were a complete dream to work with. A real change from your typical 'wedding music'! Thank you RockPins! :)"
