Review Centre: Background Music Bands

"The music was marvellous, just my kind of evocative tunes (memories of dancing round the kitchen with Grandpa). Which I think summarises how lovely everyone found the music! Thank you very much for coming. You did a brilliant job."

"Squarewaves arrived quietly and set up without a fuss, and just got on with it while the last minute preparations carried on around them. They started bang on time, and when I wanted to bring their second set forward a few minutes they were happy to. They were great, one of the band members (Chris) introduced himself when they arrived, and asked a couple of questions before setting up. They all looked smart and great on the stage, and were all friendly and chatty. Thought they were brilliant, and I can’t fault them, what talented chaps. I, along with the rest of the guests, was incredibly impressed with their performance. Squarewaves were excellent, uber talented and enthusiastic. I would use them again at the drop of a hat, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them."

"We just want to say a massive thank you to Martyn and Sharon for playing at our wedding on 9th August 2021 at the Moat House. From start to finish they were professional and friendly, they are both incredibly talented musicians and all our guests absolutely loved the music. We would not hesitate to recommend you both and would book you again in a heartbeat. Thank you for being part of our special day, you really were the highlight of the evening. Many thanks again, Mr and Mrs Lawlor"

"The multimdeia presentation by Dave Merrick on the Origins of Jazz attracted an audience of more than sixty, with an encouraging number of young people. The recordings of New Orleans parade bands and others were used to illustrate the evening with Brendan Whitmore and Natalie Davis adding the live experience. Dave (Guitar) Natalie and Brendan had previously presented a Billie Holiday show at Bath's American Museum, which was a sell out with the demand for tickets exceeding the capacity by quite a margin. This is a welcome development to raise awareness to a new and younger audience of the music that has been so much of Just Jazz readers' lives especially as it is by musicians from the jazz world. - Robert Coles, Just Jazz (The Traditional Jazz Magazine) (Aug 10, 2016)"

"Gordon has a superb gritty, bluesy, soul voice that really hits the spot when he lets rip…….. his arrangements really good and he has great vocals. I particularly like it when he opens up those chords and gives out with that really gravelly, soulful voice."

"Donaghue Quartet were a fantastic addition to our company's festive event in Birmingham. Prior to the event, we were able to indicate the songs we wanted and the running order of these. On the day, they arrived early for set-up and completed their 2 sets. Our event attendees loved them and they were able to reach all corners of the room with their voices only. I've now passed on their details to other teams in our company and hope to use them again for a future event. Would definitely recommend booking them!"

"The trio were amazing and helped us bring the atmosphere to our wedding that we hoped for! Our guests were also super pleased with them and told us to pass on the name of the band for possible future events! Could not have booked a better trio for sure. Well done guys. I will see if any family took photos of the evening "

"The RaGa Music Factory was engaged by us for celebrating our 30th anniversary. The entire show was themed and designed by them as a Bollywood Journey, featuring songs from 60's to current hits. They also engaged some of our guests into their show and provided wholesome entertainment to our party size of over 300. "
