"I booked ABBA Party Duo for my daughters birthday as a surprize for her. The whole booking process was conducted speedily and professionally. Both Gemma and Yue where extremely pleasant and accommodating, performing requests on the night without any prior notice! The music and singing was of such a high standard that all the quests where blown away by the duo, and each and everyone informed me that they had never had such a great time, especially my daughter! In conclusion I would thoroughly recommend ABBA Party Duo without any hesitation whatsoever. "

"In the balmy garden of the Parkhotel Laurin were Swiss duo Emily Lopez and Eliyah Reichen, playing Anastazja’s soulful original songs. Reichen colored in the chords, Herbie Hancock-like on Fender Rhodes. The soft bluesy vocal improvisations recalled Lauryn Hill, but higher and breathy, Björk-like. Reichen created spacey sounds with his iPad, while the bells of Bolzano and Anastazja’s warm guitar resonated dreamily through the electronica."

"Indigo Charm were a great hit with our guests and we received a lot of positive feedback on their performance. We selected a playlist for the band and the choices we made were just right for our audience, encouraging people to get up and dance. It is a little daunting booking a band you have never heard play live as you are never quite sure what you are going to get; I can honestly say that Shamyra and the band met our expectations (and they are quite high) and delivered a fantastic evening’s entertainment. Not only did they sound excellent but Shamyra also brought personality to her performance. We would recommend to anyone. "

"When tasked with the job to book a band for our Summer Ball on Weston-super-Mare pier, I knew Shakers Gold would be perfect and booked them without hesitation. They played at our Wedding last year & went down a storm. If you're looking for a great band who are professional & sound amazing then look no further! I'm sure we will see them again in the near future..... Thank you again to Chris & the band"

"I booked Lucinda for a surprise 60th wedding anniversary gift for two opera connoisseurs at their home. I didn’t know if it would work but I had faith in Lucinda from the outset. Not only does she have an impressive CV and extensive plaudits, she is so professional. Firstly, Lucinda is very passionate - it shows in her superlative organisation, she sought a clear brief and was extremely responsive with communication throughout the booking (which she accepted and confirmed within 2 hours. For Lucinda the ‘customer is king’ insofar as she is very client-focused, openly explained the logistics from her self-sufficiency with audio technology & choice of arias for the performance, and the right presentation and make up for the event. Everything with Lucinda was seamless, engendering my utter trust in her competence and ability. The recipients of this surprise were cagily forewarned by me of a ‘delivery’ which may cause a temporary noise disruption for neighbours. The rest (they say) is history - metaphorically Lucinda’s performance brought the house down! My friends loved their surprise gift, the neighbours enjoyed it too, and apparently a passer-by in a car was so mesmerised he ‘followed the music’ like a Homeric sailor following the song a siren, and invited to stay for the rest of Lucinda’s set. He too was very impressed. Nor did Lucinda dash away after performing, rather she stayed and swapped stories with the happy couple of the opera world. Thank you Lucinda for translating my moment of inspiration (and mischievousness 😉) to life for two very dear friends on their 60th wedding anniversary. 🙏🏽 As lifelong opera fans with experience on the global opera circuit they don’t hand out praise liberally when it comes to opera singers but said “Lucinda’s performance was great”, that she is “extremely talented” and that they and their neighbours were “utterly delighted” by her. It is an understatement to say this was a job well done. Lucinda has given my friends a personalised performance and a marvellous memory of a lifetime together, with her operatic songlist. In achieving the desired note, Lucinda delivered drama, hope, and passion - the stuff of their life together. In doing so she delivered a top quality performance that was well beyond good value - it is priceless. I cannot recommend Lucinda more highly - she has trained in the most prestigious academies, and it shows. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and anyone who does can be confident of an outstanding outcome. "

"I would like to say a huge Thank you to Groove Allstars for playing at The WECare charity ball at the Hilton Gateshead. What talented musicians you all are and you did an amazing job of getting everyone up and dancing all night. You played a great mix of songs and everyone commented how fabulous you were. You were professional to deal with in every respect and I will be recommending you to others organising weddings or events.

"The Fab 5 kicked off the Covers Band Stage in Kingsbury with a very impressive set, and their half hour slot didn’t seem long enough."
