"To anyone who wants their party to go with a bang! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Funk N’ Soul excelled themselves at my birthday party last Saturday – they really made the evening for me. What was really brilliant about this band was that they had learned some of my old favourite songs specially for the evening and they brought the house down! They are all full time professional and very accomplished singers and musicians and really lovely, friendly folk too! It would seem that nothing is too much for them – they even played along with my youngest daughter who played Happy Birthday on her trumpet for me! They also looked like they were all having fun performing and the vibe in the marquee was so upbeat that no-one cared about the torrential rain outside! I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have a fantastic time! Thanks again guys for making my day! Love Sally"

"The band were excellent, with a good mix of sounds. Our party particularly enjoyed the reggae tribute set. I would recommend Global Grooves for parties of all ages."

"Dave and Rich were an amazing addition to our wedding. They were easy to communicate with from the start and little fuss in setting up. Their set was fantastic, getting the crowd going at all points, and even learning a song to cater to the Bride's side of the family. I would 100% hire them to play at an event again. 10/10 thank you for making our day special. James and Alex."

"I write this with different hats on. Firstly, as a venue owner who books live artists. Phil is a joy to deal with. Very responsive to emails. Phil and Pete are punctual and professional always but personable and interact well with the audience. Their catalogue of songs is extensive. I’ve also had the pleasure of going to see them on a night out in Hull. They are brilliant! Well rehearsed. Their voices compliment each other perfectly and they have fun. They’ll also take requests and they aren’t afraid to give something a go even if it’s not yet perfected. “Proud Mary” was pure genius last night 10/10"

"The band were a huge hit at our wedding and fit into our rustic theme perfectly! They played Ed Sheeran "Thinking Out Loud" for our first dance and absolutely nailed it, everyone thought it was awesome and we loved every second. All of the band members were so lovely and chilled, it was one less thing to have to organise on the day as they just got on with setting up and sorting themselves out. I can't thank them enough for putting the perfect end to a perfect day!"

"Summer Samba exceeded all of our expectations! They entertained our 70 guests with enthusiasm, talent and even dressed the part! (1920's theme). They were a delight to co-ordinate with, and engaging with our guests throughout. They performed four 45 minute sets, with short breaks between. Swing, Jazz, Samba and Salsa throughout. I couldn't recommend them more! An absolute bargain if considering entertainment for a private bash or a work do! "

"Lara appeared at my daughter's candlelit wedding blessing over Christmas in a beautiful barn in the Cotswolds. I wanted to organize a surprise performance at the ceremony for the happy couple and with Lara's help we pulled it off. My daughter and her husband had no idea that they were being treated to their chosen songs live. Lara learned one of the songs specially for the event. It made for a very special, and personal ceremony. Lara went on to perform a set at the drinks reception, showing incredible versatility, from Motown to Taylor Swift. We had accomplished musicians amongst our guests and they all remarked about - and some connected with - Lara. She set the unique tone for the day in the ceremony and got the party started in the drinks reception. The fact that she is a talented artist is unquestionable, but what makes her so pleasant to deal with is that she takes the time to understand the audience and what the client wants from the day. We live overseas and had to organize the event at arm's length. Lara went out of her way to put our minds at rest and to ensure that we were comfortable. Thank you so much, Lara. You made the day extra special. We would book you again in a heartbeat. PS I wish we'd booked you for a set in the evening too! "

"I can't speak highly enough of these guys. They played our wedding day with both an acoustic day set and a very lively evening set. Their playlist was excellent, with a very varied choice of music, all of which fit the atmosphere of the day perfectly. We had requested a specific first dance, which the band had offered to learn from scratch and it turned out to be perfect. Throughout the day just about everyone one of our guests had approached either my wife or I to enquire as to where these guys had come from - even more so in the evening when the drinks were flowing and the dance floor was overflowing!! All I can really say is that if you are considering booking The Johnhouse Duo for any occasion and are slightly undecided at this point, I can honestly say you will not be disappointed. Awesome Band"

"Gemini Duo arrived early (which we had discussed over the phone) and set up with plenty of time to spare. They were very professional and well organised. They were fantastic, friendly, polite & well presented and more! "
