Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"We hired Emily and Tom to sing 2x45 minute sets at our wedding (April 2024) and our first dance song ‘Won’t Let you go, James Morrison’ that wasn’t on their playlist. From the moment we booked them, they were nothing short of amazing. They are genuinely lovely people who clearly love what they do and make your event perfect, our only regret is not hiring them to sing at the ceremony! We have just had our wedding videos back and listing to the talent of Emily and Tom all over again is magical. Thank you both so much for being such a huge part of our day, we can’t thank you enough!

"I just wanted to say such a huge thank you for the amazing performance that you gave. You were so friendly and willing to help in any way that any nervousness about getting up to dance was immediately dismissed. I was extremely apprehensive prior to the night about how the dancing would go down, especially with my two left feet! However my worrying was in vain, what a fantastic night of dancing it was, so inclusive that any and all can get up and get involved, aged 5 or 105. You need no experience or talent, just listen to the brilliant calling, it’s all simple moves but when it comes together with all your friends and family on the night, prepare to be amazed. I can not thank the band enough for making our Wedding such a fantastic night, I have never seen so many people thoroughly enjoying themselves all at once. I can sincerely recommend the Black Velvet Band for any social occasion, your expectations will be exceeded."

"Dinner Jazz were absolutely fantastic. They created a wonderful vibe for our outdoor summer birthday party. One of the guests is a jazz singer at Uni and they encouraged her to sing a couple of numbers with them, which made for a wonderful moment. They are great musicians and conducted themselves very professionally throughout. Would highly recommend."

"Thanks very much. Although the weather affected the attendance on Saturday it didn’t dampen the spirits of those who came and who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thanks to you and the band for being a part of that. I will have no hesitation in recommending you in the future and we had a great time."

"The Brass Strollers came to play for our Christmas market and they were brilliant. Great repertoire, really got the crowd involved, and just generally lovely to work with as well. Will book again as soon as the next event comes up!"

"The Woolers didn't just play our wedding - they MADE our wedding! They're fantastic musicians and put together a setlist that played perfectly to the crowd, followed by 2x 45 minute bandeoke sets to close out the night. They brought so much energy and fun to the night that we completely lost track of time, with our guests jumping up to sing with them until we got kicked out of the venue. Music played a huge role in our wedding and these guys delivered. What's more, they helped me surprise my wife by learning an original song that I'd written and playing this with me, going so far as to set up my equipment to keep things under wraps. This involved a substantial amount of planning and I couldn't have pulled it off without their professionalism and excellent communication in the run up to the big day. They went above and beyond at every stage and I can't recommend them enough."

"We first heard Edina at my a family wedding a few years ago and loved her! So it was an easy choice to have her play at ours and she was fantastic. Loved some of the pop culture (e.g. Game of Thrones) cover songs and she's a really friendly and lovely person. Thanks again Edina. "

"Awesome night! You guys rock. If anyone hasn't seen them, go see La Runidera! Very original sound. Great breaks, tight, hard-hitting rhythm section, excellent vocals and mesmerising Puerto Rican cuatro!"

"We saw Mozzle Brocha last Wednesday at the Landsdown and had a fabulous night. Wonderful music to bring joy to any day. Marianna is a charismatic lead singer, beautiful to listen to. Looking forward to seeing them again and if I have a party at any point I will definitely be booking them."

"I would just like to say that Patrick played the bagpipes at our wedding on 04/08/19 and he was absolutely amazing. Everyone commented how good he was, he made our wedding perfect. I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough 5* for pipes , 5* outfit and 5* for personality. Thank you so very very much "
