Review Centre: Duos / Small Groups

"We saw this dynamic duo perform at a summer wedding and we were so wowed by their energy and talent that we booked them for our anniversary/birthday celebrations. Soul Messengers delivered a 2-hour set of classic songs with such fun, panache and sentimentality; we were dancing, singing and taking a trip down memory lane with the songs that marked the decades and our milestones. Azu's vocal range is amazing and Filippo is a master blaster on his guitar! They are polite, affable, very easy to communicate with and they truly put heart and soul into their fantabulous performances. Book this thrilling class act for your event if you enjoy their genre of songs. This accomplished duo will effortlessly jazz up celebrations in a cosy private setting or pull in the crowd for a big event. Whichever it is, they are guaranteed to make forever memories for you & your guests. We know because we've enjoyed their spectacular performances twice! The rapport with their audiences is heart-warmingly real. Thank you for everything. It was a totally stress-free booking and absolutely worth it."

"Saw this duo play on Thursday in High Wycombe. Great Irish set for St Patrick's Day. The whole crowd were singing and banging the tables, and there was even some Irish dancing. Excellent guitarist and lovely singing. Danny boy brought a tear to my eye. Let us know when you are up this way next."

"Just a note to say thank you all for treating us to an evening of wonderful music and entertainment. It was just what we had hoped for and more, we could not have been more delighted. In essence the two brilliant sets of music it hit all the right notes catering for a very wide age-range. We had many enquiries after the event as to how we found the band so I have been very happily referring them. We have been to many events recently and none of the live bands have come anywhere close to your standard, so thanks so much for saying 'Yes' to our initial enquiry. When looking at bands on the internet, (I listened to what seemed to be hundreds), I drew up a short list, then listened to all the demo tracks and videos and put my top four in order of priority. This I then asked my husband to listen to (as it was his birthday), and his top four were pretty much the same with 21C being number 1 on both lists! My only concern, once we had decided, was that you might say 'No sorry we don't travel to Shropshire', so I was very relieved and happy when you said 'Yes'! Also, the fact that the band were early and happy to set up themselves meant no hassle for us on the night. The only downside is that it was over too quickly and I am trying to rack my brains to think of an excuse to do it all over again. Our youngest son does have a 21st to sort out, so you never know, you might be hearing from us again. Just by way of thanks for your help Helen, and to Jay and the boys for driving all the way to Shropshire to play for us, a separate gift is winging it's way to you."

"Fantastic! We booked the oxymorons for our wedding and they were just brilliant. Excellent communication prior to the day and then on the day our guests loved them and didn’t stop dancing! We would highly recommend them. Thanks again for a fantastic evening of love music."

"Can't recommend this duo highly enough. After our wedding was cancelled in March 2020, they were completely understanding and patient with us as we rescheduled for 2 years later. Their performance throughout the day completely justified the wait in helping to create the perfect day that we had always planned rather than to have a covid wedding. They even accommodated a fairly intricate request for the bride's entrance and completely nailed it!"

"It was superb and far exceeded my expectations.So many people commented on the excellence of the band and also on how they looked as if they were enjoying the evening as much as the guests. Gary's help in planning the evening was invaluable and immediately took the stress off my shoulders. I would sincerely recommend Eleventh Hour to anyone looking for a band to enhance their party experience."
