"I'd just like to say a massive thank you to you and the band for playing at my birthday party, and I can’t thank you all enough for making the night so special! From start to finish, the band's performance was absolutely incredible — full of energy, talent, and great vibes. You guys had us up and dancing, and the atmosphere was unforgettable. Not only are you all amazing musicians, but the band's stage presence and connection with the crowd was outstanding. You guys knew exactly how to keep the party going and tailor the set to suit the mood perfectly. On top of that, the band's professionalism made everything so easy — great communication (especially with you Stu as band leader), punctual arrival, and a smooth setup. I’ve had so many guests tell me how much they loved the band, and I couldn’t agree more, great music, great party atmosphere and a great night for everyone. Thank you again for making my birthday celebration one I’ll never forget! X Sarah Clarke, Birthday Party at the Treebridge Hotel, Middlesbrough – 24th January 2026"

"Hi Rory. Just a short note from Richard and I to thank you for your contribution to last night’s party at Hartsbourne. You were fantastic! A real star. The music was everything we could have hoped for and more, we couldn't be happier. It was a great success and I’m sure you’ll get other bookings from it. We know that the Social Chairman is thinking of booking you for the Club nights during the summer. You were great! I have told and will continue to tell as many of our friends as possible about you. Can I take you home with me? With best wishes. Carol"

"We booked Carlo to play at our wedding and he was absolutely incredible! He set the perfect tone during our drinks reception, creating a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere that all our guests commented on. Later in the evening, he joined the DJ on the dance floor and completely transformed the party, the energy was amazing, and the mix of live sax with the DJ had everyone dancing all night. Carlo is not only a talented musician but also a true professional, easy to work with, flexible, and passionate about making the day special. We honestly couldn’t recommend him enough for anyone looking to add that extra spark to their event!"

"“Clearly very talented musicians, we can’t recommend Simon Ritchie Music enough. Simon and the band kept the atmosphere at our Summer Ball upbeat with a good mixture of old and new, leading to some anthemic tunes to round off which had the whole dancefloor going. With a vast setlist, Simon easily navigated the evening through dinner to later in the evening.” (Corporate, Hertfordshire Building Control)"

"Sheldon and Pure Tones performed at our wedding and I couldn't recommend them enough. We picked them after seeing them at another wedding where they kept the dancefloor packed the whole night and everyone had a blast. They are fun, entertaining and know what to play to keep the dancefloor going. Their upbeat energy and interaction with the audience makes it such a fun night. They are a great option to combine the best of having a DJ and live music. I would 100% pick them again. In addition to being awesome performers Sheldon was always prompt on communication and set up so we were never left doubting anything. Highly recommend!"

"Louise is a born performer. Her own songs draw on musical influences such as Billie Holiday, Etta James and Jill Scott and she can move crowds in stadium, so universal are her songs. But, when accompanied by her guitarist, in the intimate Glade bar at Sketch, she sings Pop, Soul, Jazz songs of singers she so admires, she never mimics: she has her own voice… Be prepared to be touched!"

"Party Sounds thoroughly entertained us at our wedding in September. Mark and the other band members read our audience really well and we don't think the dance floor was ever empty!! Highly recommended and we know that they would have picked up some future customers from our wedding guests. Extremely approachable, punctual and down to earth, if we could have our wedding day again they would be there without a doubt!! Thanks so much for a smooth fun filled evening guys, you really did make our night!! Love the Preston-Reeves, Little Silver Country Hotel, Tenterden. "

"Groove Allstars are phenomenal! The process from start to finish (booking, planning with Martyn, to performance) was seamless and the team made us feel so special throughout. Thank you so much for such an incredible evening - we are still reliving every single minute and having you & the band there to play our first dance and the sets throughout the evening helped make our special day unforgettable! We have had so many comments from our guests saying how amazing you all were, so thank you so much for getting the vibe so right, for catering for the extra Super Trouper surprise from Lene's family and for supporting to make sure it ran so smoothly. The band members and the singers did such an amazing performance so we cannot thank you enough for everything you did to make this our perfect evening! Would 10000% recommend!!! Chris and Lene, Wedding at Healey Barn – 4th May 2024"
