"During the planning stages of my birthday party, Rosie & The Rockets were keen to discuss arrangements and specific song choices, so that the evening was a success for all my guests. Their flexible, reassuring approach left me feeling confident beforehand. On the night, they played all my song choices as well as a great mix of other songs which led to a packed dance floor throughout both sets. Many guests commented on their skill and professionalism. During the party, they also helped to organise proceedings. It was a brilliant night and we all enjoyed it. I would highly recommend Rosie & The Rockets to anyone planning an event. "

"To Soul Train, just had to thank you for playing at my surprise 50th birthday party. Absolutely superb! The whole thing, music, lights, everything! A few of us have your business cards for future reference!"

"We hired Fresh Grooves for our wedding recently, thanks to the fantastic music and atmosphere they created, everyone had an absolute blast! Booking, selecting playlists and communication has been excellent, quick and easy throughout. They are certainly crowd pleasers and kept everyone singing and dancing all night. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent live music from a genuinely enthusiastic team."

" Somerset Soul and Rebecca performed at our wedding in December 2021 and they were absolutely fantastic. Rebecca is a great singer and the band are superb musicians - there were great guitar solos. At the end of the evening and following the wedding, so many of our guests told us that they thought they were a great wedding band, and the dancefloor was full for the whole evening. They responded and reacted to the crowd expertly. The set list was a great selection of genres and decades, enjoyed by 3 generations. Rhona, their manager, was great to deal with before the wedding - she asked us questions, she shared an example set list, and she arranged for the first dance to be played."

"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for organising our band for our party on Saturday! Please pass on our thanks, they were all absolutely fabulous and our guests loved them! They created a fantastic atmosphere whilst sticking to quite a strict noise limiter. Highly recommend! "

"We booked Soul Factor for our wedding in April and they were absolutely incredible. Not only we’re they extremely organised and accommodating in the lead up, but their performance on the night was incredible. We were so thrilled and have had so many people ask for their details! Hugely recommend! Izzy & Tom, Wedding at Family Home in Surrey – 22nd April 2023 "

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you for Saturday. You were unbelievable and i have had so many complimentary comments from guests that i wish i could record them somehow to send to you! There were lots of ladies (and i expect a few gents!) moved to tears in the church. The afternoon music was also wonderful and set the mood perfectly."

"After spending weeks looking for a wedding band who could play more than the standard fare, we were intrigued on seeing their repertoire; finally a band who could satisfy all the guests with a mixture of classy soul, RnB and pop. Once we listened to their demo we were sold; it was clear that Rebecca has the voice of an angel. However, this didn’t prepare us for the performance on the day, which exceeded all expectations. Love songs delivered with heartbreaking beauty and pop that had everyone off their seats until the last note of the evening. Rebecca and the Somerset Soul are a wedding band for the discerning listener who gave us the perfect end to a perfect day."

"Elouise is a fantastic vocalist to have at any occasion. Her choice of music and personal style really added a vintage tone to my wedding. The guests still rave about how fantastic she was every time I see them! Highly recommended professional and a lovely lady. "

"Great gig, thank you so much. I chose well! Your energy was soaked up by us all at my 50th party and culminated in a fantastic feel good finale on the dance floor. ‘One more song’ was the call from my nephew and all of us would have savoured more time, but we ended on a high and that’s all I could ask for. I’ve had great feedback on you, and obviously will see if you are available for any future family events! "

"Hi Marcus, Thank you so much for everything on Saturday! To say that you and the band were awesome would be an understatement; you absolutely made our wedding. Although you were a personal recommendation and we had high expectations, you even managed to exceed those! We could not have been any happier. If anyone we know is looking for a band in future, then we’ll be sure to point them in your direction. Thank you so much to all of you again! All the best. "

"Thank you to Disco Infernos for helping to make my wedding the incredible day it was. One of my only individual responsibilities for the wedding was organising the music, so I felt a good deal of pressure to make sure it was right. Disco Infernos was impressive due to its range of quality artists to choose from, but while I cannot comment on other acts, I cannot speak highly enough of Disco Infernos. They were friendly and professional in the build up, but most importantly performed amazingly on the night. My major concern was keeping the dance floor full and having the energy high throughout the last few hours of the night. I think it would be fair to say the marquee was bursting with energy throughout, and I don't think I've ever seen a fuller dance floor at a wedding. I am so pleased that I booked the extra sax and trumpet, and that the band played mainly the soul/motown and disco/funk parts of their repertoire. It meant that everyone was up dancing from 20 year olds to the bride's 91 year old Grandma. They even let a friend of mine butcher 'Wonderful Tonight' during their break! Really couldn't have been better in any way, other than an extra 3 hours dancing! 5 stars. "

"I asked Sally to sing at my wedding reception in July 2005 having known her for some years prior to that, and knowing that she would be trustworthy and not let me down for my big day. I was not disappointed. Sally provided a superb performance with her high end backing tracks and my guests were blown away by her voice and brilliantly friendly and professional demeanour. To this day (17 years later), my friends/wedding guests still say what an awesome singer entertained us all on that day and I would not hesitate to recommend Sally for any event, small or large as she definitely has the presence and amazing personality to carry off a superb performance anywhere."
