"Having booked these guys watching their videos online due to COVID they exceeded all my expectations and were truly outstanding - their videos don’t do them justice to how good they are live! We enjoyed them so much we paid them to stay on as we didn’t want them to leave! Having spent many years watching small bands in pubs I can honestly say they are up there with the best I’ve seen. If your looking for a small band to fill any room and interact brilliantly with the crowd these are the guys. Genuinely really nice guys with a huge passion and brilliant to work with. If I don’t see you before see you at the 70th in 10 years!!"

Hi Rich, many thanks for your review and for the very kind words. It was great working with you too - you guys had clearly put a lot of time and effort into making the event happen - and we had a thoroughly enjoyable time playing for you and all the other guests. We hope to work with you again in the near future! All the best, Martin and Stuart

"Hi Mark, Just a quick note of thanks for a great evening on Saturday. All guests have said how great you were and I hope you will get some repeat business (especially if we get invites to the parties) as we thought you really made the evening. Many thanks again, David and Kim "

"Banish Misfortune were an absolutely fabulous band that had our customers dancing around the garden from start to finish during our St Patrick’s Day celebrations. They were a pleasure to work with and we would love to have them back!"

"Pop Life added a great deal to our wedding. They were easy to deal with, taking away any hassle or stress we felt in the lead up to the big day, they had a good variety of songs from which we were able to choose exactly what we wanted. They did not need any hand holding at all on the day which allowed us to enjoy our reception without having to worry about them. They are highly professional. Their performance was excellent, as mentioned by a number of the guests. They brought energy and a sense of fun to the whole thing. The highest praise I can give them is that the dance floor was packed throughout, which is exactly what we had wanted. I would highly recommend them."

"We booked Straight Up for our wedding in April 2024, and they were absolutely amazing! We were slightly hesitant as we only had the promo video on the website to go off, but the band were even better in person. We loved that they had an extensive list of songs on their repertoire, and they happily played all 32 songs that we requested from that list! Communication prior to the wedding was clear, and the booking process was really easy. The band ensured that the dancefloor was full throughout the night, and we had such great feedback from all of our guests. They even learnt a 'last song' for us rather than a first dance, which was an amazing way to end the night. "

"Southwest Band are a recommended supplier at Lake Henry wedding venue and we love having them. They create such a great atmosphere for your wedding and have your guests dancing from start to finish. The full service and all day package they provide is excellent. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to party."

"Dear Caroline & Alter Ego, Firstly, our apologies for the delay in writing to you. Thank you for your message on 23rd August, it was very sweet of you. We want to say a big thank you for playing at our wedding celebrations. We thought the band was amazing and so did all our family and friends. We have had an abundance of positive feedback for the band and one person said “if you closed your eyes, you could be listening to the original band” We really hope the band gets more bookings as we have shared their details and they deserve it. We had a lot of fun dancing to the great tunes played and it took me nearly a week to walk around without hurting but was definitely worth it! Thank you once again for making our celebrations so special. We wish you all the best and will definitely come back to you if we have any other celebrations in the future. Kind regards and best wishes to you all. Ashifa and Julian"

"Thank you Blue Jewel for making our barn dance such an enjoyable and memorable occasion. It was great to see so many happy smiling faces on the dance floor. The caller,Kip, was excellent at engaging with the dancers and gave very clear instructions to follow and they are good musicians. Steve was very helpful when organising the event and quick to respond to any communication. They are a very professional group and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you Blue Jewel"

"Hi Kelly-Ann & Graham , On behalf of Swansea 41 Club, I would like to thank you both for your performance last night. I have had numerous calls already from members and guests , remarking on how good and more importantly, how flexible you were in relation to the trying conditions of the weather. I am sure that either myself or future organisers will be in touch with more bookings. I did note that towards the end of the evening, we could have done with a larger dance floor. But we were a bit slow starting. Thanks again and I hope we see you both again , soon. Best regards Roger."

"Highly recommend these guys - punctual, easy to work with, and the music wonderful (just the right volume). They played 2 sets and went down a storm. Will certainly have them back sometime!"

"We first heard the Songbird String Quartet at a Wedding Fayre and it did not take us long to know that they were perfect for our big day. They gave us some short examples of different styles of music which had a real quality. In the build up to the wedding the quartet were always happy to take any requests for them to arrange, of course they need lead time for this. On the day the quartet arrived and, knowing our intent, set off with playing our programme of music. So taken with them, we booked them for a lot of the day and they were fantastic throughout our ceremony, during the photographs and during the wedding breakfast. Not only did the Songbird String Quartet bring a touch of class to our wedding, they were so supportive of the music we wanted and the occasion - they have a true sense of timing and mood. The quality of their music is stunning - you really can not go wrong booking them for your big day."
