"Lara was simply amazing. I had asked her to sing at my mother's funeral. She helped me navigate the process of landing on the right songs and found herself having to learn two new songs from scratch. She was sensitive to the process and helpful in ensuring that she was in contact with just the right people to make the timing just right. Above everything else she sung both songs beautifully. She contributed heavily to a beautiful send off for Mum. I look forward to working with her in the future on happier events."

"Sonia and her band have performed at our Jazz Lunches for some time and have always been very popular. Their music is very mellow and easy to listen to, with Sonia’s velvet tones bringing a warmth and depth to the melody. This year, they played for us on New Year’s Eve and guests, as well as staff, really enjoyed their performance. "

"We booked the Magenta string duet for our wedding at quite short notice. Very professional from start to finish! Added a real touch of class to proceedings! Beautiful music played throughout. Several wedding guests have given positive feedback on the live music. Highly recommended!!"

"Utterly fantastic - got everyone dancing from the start and created great atmosphere at my daughter and new son-in-law's wedding celebrations. Lots of guests praising their musicianship and asking where we found them! Accommodated all the couple's requests including learning a special request for for first dance which went down a storm. Thank you Big Skies!"

Thank you so much for the great review Cheryl! It was an absolute pleasure to perform at your daughter and son in law's wedding celebrations. We loved every minute of it and we are so pleased that everyone enjoyed the performance. You guys were an amazing crowd to play for; it was fantastic to see everyone up on their feet, dancing and enjoying themselves. Thanks for booking us x

"They were very friendly and approachable. They communicated well before the event, turned up at the right place and on time. They were absolutely excellent. Very accomplished musicians, they made the night a great success. They will be my first choice for the next big family party. I am very grateful to them: thanks lads."

"Thanks SaxSmith - You really helped to set the atmosphere in the drinks reception as you suggested. All of our guests commented on how great you and tom were, we can't thank you enough! We really loved your rendition of jubel! I'm sure you'll get more enquiries, everyone was asking where they could see you again. "

"Thank you The Haystacks Band for making our Halloween/Fireworks party a great night! Everyone thought the band was excellent and you helped create an amazing atmosphere!! Also Sue mentioned that you were all absolutely brilliant! – She overheard loads of compliments from our campers and the local residents whilst selling tombola tickets! Look forward to booking the Haystacks at our next event! Would highly recommend to others - I have nothing but good to say about The Haystacks!"

"Amazing, brilliant, fantastic, wonderful.......some of the words I have heard about your performance on Saturday evening. And I agree with every single sentiment. Thank you so so much for helping to make our evening such great fun, the music was amazing, and you made such a good choice of songs. Finally your accompanying of our Choir with 'Sweet Caroline' was brilliant, and a great experience for us, hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. My mind is already thinking about another celebration, maybe not quite as big as this time! So expect another invitation sometime soon!!"

"Rachel Mercer sings beautifully, not just the nostalgic tunes of the 1940s, 50s and 60s, but more modern contemporary hits also. She livens up the evening entertainment and puts a smile on your face. Paul Davies Aviation Historian. "

"Just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you for Friday night. You were absolutely amazing, and better than we imagined. The staff have all said how brilliant you were. Thank you for being part of our Works party. We really enjoyed having you there and the music you played was just what we wanted and hoped for. We are all still talking about the night and I have party blues. Wish it hadn’t happened yet so I could do it all again. Your details will definitely come in use for future events I’m sure."

"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding! We feel so lucky that we found you guys. From the moment we found your website and heard your clips, we had a good feeling about you and we weren't disappointed. The music was fantastic, you are both so talented and Lucy, your voice is just stunning! We had loads of great comments from our guests and Laura and I were particularly impressed with your version of Wings by Birdie which you learnt just for us! Thank you! Best of luck to you both. You deserve it! "
