"Nice guys and great musicians. We wanted a 100% Italian style reception and so it was, they sang Italian songs that we all sang together. They had a station near us and every now and then they played, singing and walking between the tables with the guests. Very very funny and characteristic. We still sing Volare and O Sole mio thinking about that magical evening. Thanks so much guys!"

"The Pagliuca-Mena ensemble is incredible – and that is not a word I often use. I found it original, listenable and completely absorbing, not only for the musicians’ class but for the arrangements and the inclusion of so many different facets of music: It’s heavy on the jazz but also strong on the Latin, a little classical and even a touch of folk now and again. It is hard to put into words how struck I was listening to this so I am not going to try, but rather say if you want something very different but with enough familiarity to make it still comfortable, listen to this music. It takes a lot for me to get excited by a band on first hearing, but the Pagliuca-Mena Sextet instigated just that. They are one of the most exciting bands I have heard for a long time and the delivery of this music is truly exceptional. "

"WOW. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. If you are considering hiring Good Time SoulF for your wedding or event, you should book them immediately! I am so incredibly impressed with their talents, professionalism, communication, and overall performance. They were such a highlight of my wedding day and I couldn’t be more grateful that they were able to come and perform for us. They were so flexible with their playlists as well and let me customize the songs that I wanted to hear from their playlists as well as add a few more songs that they were able to learn for the wedding. I am overjoyed with their performance and the only thing I wish I would have done differently is to have asked them to stay longer. Truly amazing, kind, talented, and wonderful performers. I enjoyed every second as did my guests. THANK YOU!!! XXXX"

"Hi Lenny, I just wanted to e-mail to thank you for a fantastic evening on Thursday for Bexy’s party. You were great and played just the right mix of music to appeal to us oldies as well as the bright young 21 year olds. I apologise for the delay in starting – the caterers were a bit slow off the mark – but the 3 hours you played more than made up for it and everyone had a brilliant time. Thank you very much again and I hope you have a great summer. Best wishes Ginny x"

"NASO – Flamenco and Rumba, the rhythms of the party in honor of San Cono Abate It will be a great gypsy celebration that will be staged in Naso on the evening of September 1st, on the occasion of the traditional celebrations in honor of the Patron Saint "SAN CONO". The great guitarist Miguel Fernandez will perform on the stage set up in Piazza Roma starting from 9.30pm, accompanied by 2 other excellent masters of the Spanish guitar and the best Italian instrumentalist of "Cajon", i.e. the typical percussion of Flamenco which, together with the 6 extraordinary flamenco dancers, will give life to a great show that alternates mystical atmospheres (typical of Flamenco and Tango) with great moments of collective dance, such as those typical of Gitana and Catalan Rumba, which have been represented in the world by legendary bands, like that of the Gipsy Kings.

"Band super!!!! Cercavamo una band che creasse un'atmosfera, vintage, energica, divertente ma nello stesso tempo raffinata. I ragazzi sono da subito stati disponibilissimi e trasparenti su quello che la loro band ci avrebbe offerto: ogni promessa è stata mantenuta e le aspettative superate. La band propone un repertorio vintage ma anche moderno. Hanno un sound che spacca e l'atmosfera si scalda subito. Scegliendoli non animerete soltanto il vostro matrimonio, ma regalerete ai vostri ospiti un vero e proprio concerto! Due fiati, chitarra, basso e batteria, cosa chiedere di più! La simpatia ovviamente: i selfportrait sono uno spasso, con un'ironia veramente eccezionale! L'unico rammarico al nostro matrimonio è che saremmo andati avanti a sentirli suonare per ore, e invece il tempo è stato tiranno. Hanno fatto ballare tutti, compresa gente che di solito non muove un passo. Si sono prestati con simpatia alle sorprese preparate dai nostri ospiti e hanno saputo fare fronte a una serata complicata da ritardi e cambi di programma repentini dovuti al mal tempo. Ogni momento animato da loro dall'aperitivo al dopocena è stato fantastico. E anche la playlist passata in sottofondo durante la cena era azzeccatissima. Grazie davvero ragazzi. Senza di voi non sarebbe stato lo stesso."

"Memories for a lifetime David and the band were in a class of their own. In a post-pandemic summer where we have participated in 6 weddings, including our own, we couldn't have been more pleased than to have picked Bride n' Groove to help us celebrate the big day. The quality of the performance was matched only by the band's professionalism in the run-up to the big day. Having seen 5 other wedding bands this summer, this has been the standout band. The setlist and fluid running order provided a perfect soundtrack to get the party started and ensure we all kept it going to the wee hours. Unlike other bands which seemed limited in their repertoire, David's crew mastered everything from Dirty Old Town to Mr. Brightside, which ensured everyone from the oldest to the youngest danced all night long. Thanks again boys for an unforgettable night. "

"“Siete stati un portento!!! L’atmosfera era magica e speciale, all’insegna del divertimento! Unici e divertenti, un collante fra gli scherzi organizzati dagli amici e capaci di coinvolgere tutti senza mai essere invadenti! Vi sceglierei altre 100 volte! Onorata di avervi avuto al mio matrimonio!!!”"

"We got married in Italy (Lake Iseo) last July, after doing lot's of research for a band that would create a party atmosphere we came across Italy's Irish Wedding Band, after completing our details online I got a call from David and from that first call I knew that they were going to be the guys to make our evening reception the party that we had in our heads. Instantly David was easy to chat to and was all about what we wanted, he was keen to learn about the music we liked, gave good advise but the most important thing was the communication that followed leading up to our big day. We had regular phone calls, what's app messages, emails, we even ended up meeting a couple of months before on one of our trips to sort out wedding details. Being from Manchester we wanted to throw in some Indie music, the band hadn't heard of one of the grooms favourite bands (The Courteeners) we had one song in particular that we wanted them to play. The guys took the time to learn the song and kept us updated with videos of the rehearsals. They well and truly brought a Manchester vibe to Italy on the night. We even changed our first dance less than a week before the wedding but this was no trouble to the guys! All of our guest still speak about the band and how amazing they were! David and the rest of the band have now become friends and we still keep in touch through social media and little texts here and there.....we can't wait for an Italian Wedding Reunion, one thing is for sure, they will 100% be the band playing when we do! Don't hesitate....Get them booked before it's too late!!! Rachel & Tony Lever xx"
