"I highly recommend Revolve, they were absolutely fantastic at our wedding last weekend! The music was brilliant and singing fantastic. Tori sang our first dance perfectly. Everyone had a fantastic time. It’s been a long wait (booked and cancelled 3 times due to covid), but they have been brilliant throughout, and it was definitely worth the wait! So many memorable songs Thank you so much x"

"Ruth is simply extraordinary. From the moment we first met her she was warm, kind and professional - and on our wedding day she exceeded every expectation. Her performance of our all time favourite song, La Vie En Rose, as we entered was nothing short of magical, a moment we'll cherish forever. Throughout the reception, Ruth kept the guests entertained with her incredible voice, effortless style and captivating presence. She bought joy, sophistication and sparkle to the day, making the atmosphere unforgettable. Ruth has a natural elegance and a true gift for music that instantly elevates any occasion. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had her with us on our special day and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to add timeless charm and genuine magic to their wedding or occasion"

"It was wonderful to have John play at our wedding. All the guests said how great it was to have the music playing as they relaxed next to the lake drinking Pimms in the sun, John and his music added to the whole ambience of the occasion and we would highly recommend him."

"We booked London Two Cellos for a short performance at our wedding, and they were amazing. The music was beautiful, elegant, and created such a romantic atmosphere. Even with a shorter set, they made a big impact and our guests loved it. Professional, talented, and a pleasure to work with — highly recommended!"

"I am so pleased that I booked Kirsty to DJ at our wedding. She understood that music was super important for us and really took the time to understand what we wanted! Every song was brilliant and she also knew how to read the room shifting things last minute to keep everyone on the dance floor. Kirsty made the whole experience stress-free and magical!! We hope we can book Kirsty again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others looking for a DJ. "

"The Kate's Duo were brilliant at our party. Several guests thought it was a CD playing when they arrived and were amazed and delighted with the quality of the music. Kate's singing is a delight and her partner played guitar to the awe of the musicians in our lunch party! Kate gauged the pace really well and we would highly recommend her to anyone. "

"Rating 5/6 : Very Enjoyable Absolute Mayhem The Horse & Chains, Bushey on Saturday 30 September 2023 It's a rare thing to go into a local pub and hear a keyboard player who has been described as a musical "genius" by none other than David Bowie. This is no tall story either. The musician Billy Ritchie was the first player in rock music to give keyboards a prominent role -- and that was before Keith Emerson (ELP) and Rick Wakeman came on the scene. Billy told me that he remained good friends with the Thin White Duke until his death in 2016. Lanark-born Mr Ritchie now provides the skilful and fancy keyboards and records backing tracks for his latest incarnation Mayhem with talented female singer Carol Leslie. Carol is a really strong vocalist with a gutsy style. This dynamic duo started their first set at the cosy Sebright Arms with Elvis's late sixties' classic Suspicious Minds. The second song was a surprise -- Kirsty MacColl's comedy number There's A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears His Elvis. It was a perfect choice after the first song. Carol and Billy select their material wisely and give their audience something very different from the predictable Mustang Sally, Brown Eyed Girl and I Saw Her Standing There, churned out by so many pub bands. So it was great to hear Georgio Moroder and Phil Oakey's electro smash Together In Electric Dreams, Matchbox's catchy rocker Rockabilly Rebel, Starship's uplifting We Built This City (on which Billy demonstrated his keyboard dexterity) and Solomon Burke's gospel-ish Cry To Me. And that was just the first half. Carol is happy to tackle songs usually associated with male vocalists and she started part two with a raucous version of Bryan Adams' rocker Summer Of 69. If you have never seen Mayhem, ask Billy to perform Light My Fire, the Doors rock classic from 1967. This was a sheer musical masterclass as he re-created both vocally and instrumentally this great song. Billy has a rich, tuneful voice and this was a stunning performance. Other highlights in the second half included Journey's rock anthem Don't Stop Believing, Carol's gritty interpretation if Shania Twain's Man I Feel Like A Woman and a fine performance of Bon Jovi's Living On A Prayer A total of 24 songs and I cannot wait to see this duo again. My only concern is their name. I think many club and pubgoers might think Mayhem are a heavy metal band rather than an all-round, top class duo.
