Review Centre: Bands & Ensembles

"Wraggle Taggle were fantastic for my birthday party at Alexandra Park School. Mick was a great communicator leading up to the event and made me feel reassured that everything was well-planned. The music was excellent and the caller made sure that we all had a great time joining in although most of us were unfamiliar with the dances beforehand. Some of the comments I received from friends were "it made me feel young again!" and "I haven't had so much fun for a long time!" Thank you to Mick and the band for a wonderful evening! "

"I can whole heartily recommend Jade for any performance position. Her performance is always first class. Her tone and interpretation of the music is just breath taking and she’s incredibly easy to deal with when organising her involvement in an event or show. She’s incredibly organised and always 100% prepared. I’ve booked many musicians who present themselves as ‘professional’ to a booking client - only to be largely disappointed by most of them. Whether it’s their performance, readiness or their communication, very few I would consider to be true professionals. Jade is the perfect musical colleague and I would be chasing her for a resident position in any show I manage before all others. Book Jade - you will not be disappointed."

"Reverie added a vibrant energy to our awards night. They played a fantastic setlist that appealed to all ages and were incredibly professional. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a top-tier band."

"The Element String Trio were absolutely amazing. I had them for my wedding and they can not be faulted. My wedding ran late due to traffic but they were more than happy to stay on later and were just so lovely. Everyone commented on how beautiful they sounded. They got in extra songs that I requested (even if I did leave it till last minute) thank you so much guys, you were truly amazing. I recommend to everyone to use The Element string quartet and trio."

"Hi, Our day was made even better with the addition of Mark. He played during our ceremony and then again in the evening. We were able to choose songs that my partner and I loved - it made a great and memorable day. "

"W!RED are absolutely brilliant! From the initial booking through to arrival at the venue at the agreed time, the whole process was seamless. Phil was amazing, confirming details and chatting to us. They took on board some of our favourite songs and their playlist and sound quality on the evening was excellent. Sue is lovely and quick to connect with you and the guests ?They truly made our evening incredibly special and we would recommend them anytime. Thank you so so much guys, you are a truly class act.

"Well, we went along to the Clutha benefit gig in The Classic Grand, there were such a choice of great bands to choose from on 2 floors, The Mrs & myself were downstairs as it was mostly rock bands and we had a seat, so the bands changed again & again until I heard the next band was a Ceilidh band, quite a few were looking around sort of laughing as if how’s this gonna fit in with the night, so there's now quite a few people sitting down waiting, so on comes as expected the usual accordion,fiddle,drummer & guitarist set up, and then it began, the accordion started then in came the fiddle then this electric rock guitar and ass kicking rock drum beat, and low and behold before you know it everybody's on their feet standing poking their heads up and down to see who the hell was making this amazingly blended sound of rock & Scottish folk, the accordion player’s fingers were impossible to track as they rolled up and down the board, and the fiddle was just about glowing to match, topped off with a great guitar and drums, with bits of Pink Floyd through to Miley Cyrus flung in, hard to believe but true, and all served up for your ears to savour at 100 mph, the whole place became electric, it was amazing to listen to and stunning to watch, I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed this band, We got talking to David (the accordion player) and his family afterwards and found him such a laugh & such a nice family, highlight of the night, so thanks to The Shooglers your time & talent is very well spent and it shows, cheers.

"We used Ebor String Quartet for the first time this year for our annual student awards ceremony and wow, they made such an impact! They really brought such an amazing atmosphere to our event and our guests were so impressed. As well as being talented musicians, they are also really lovely people to work with. Their communication throughout was second to none and we would thoroughly recommend. Thank you!"

"What can I say. This man is such a kind, friendly and helpful gentleman. We spoke to him a few times, nothing was too much trouble. He said he was here to help and we could ask him anything, thats what he was here for. Everyone at the funeral commented and said how lovely he played the bagpipes. Thank you Patrick we really appreciated all your help on the day. It was a pleasure to have met you. If ever we need the bagpipes again we know who to contact. Thankyou again Maureen"
