The residents of Norton Place were delighted to welcome Fifi and Olly to perform at our summer soirée on 16 August. Their performance was uplifting and wowed the audience over three sets with their fabulous range of familiar and not so familiar french music.

It was a great great pleasure to meet you, to have you with us. Your presence and your music gave a magical and so French festive air! What a joy to see you play and create such a beautiful atmosphere under the grey sky!
My dad was in heaven listening to you, thank you for making him sing.

Thank you both.

Absolutely super, thank you to Fifi and Olly. They were fun, tres chic, and pitched their participation in our Joie De Vivre event perfectly. Highly recommend, and thank you both so much. The Worshipful Company of Butchers will hopefully be able to have you along again in the future.

Thank you so much for playing our party – the feedback was really good (easily the best we have had in the eight years I have been doing the parties). You really set the tone for the evening and engaged the volunteers. We were all delighted. You were a joy to book and communicate with and I could honestly say that anyone looking for a little ‘je ne sais quoi’ to sprinkle on their evening would definitely be really please to have you.
Hope to catch you again soon. One of our graveowners, whose husband, Frank, was a jazz piano player, was most impressed when I was talking about you both.

Thank you once again for making my father’s birthday party such a great success. Having the party on a boat made for slightly more difficult logistics but your professional yet flexible and enthusiastic approach to the situation really helped. On arrival you quickly tuned into the nature and tone of the event and your personality and sense of fun charmed everyone.
You play the accordion wonderfully and is the perfect accompaniment to your beautiful voice transporting us all to a timeless Left Bank cafe in Paris.
As you know, my father was enchanted by you. He said that you were the absolute highlight of the party. And that’s the first time I can remember dancing with my mum!

Dear Fifi, I am so grateful to you, Alex and Olly for the pleasure and fun you brought to my mother. She really loved your amazing performance of many of her favorite songs from her younger days, Michel Legrand fondly recalled! We have both since enjoyed your CDs, with yet more visitors and guests yesterday. You, Alex and Olly can take enormous credit for transforming Friday's happy gathering into a party. I really appreciated your professionalism and adaptability. It left me free to fully enjoy the whole occasion without concern. The special ingredient however was your very own love and enjoyment of performing your music. Magical! A bientot et mille mercis a vous deux, Mark xx

Oh la la were absolutely amazing! I had dreamed of having French café music at our party and Oh la la provided that and more. As well as the music and Fifi's vocals being wonderful, the they are very charismatic, and were mixing with the crowd, taking requests and generally ensuring we all had a wonderful time. Would absolutely recommend.

I booked Fifi for an event celebrating my business’s 20th Anniversary and I was so delighted with the whole evening. Fifi’s accordion playing created a beautiful ‘French style’ atmosphere for my soiree and her range and choice of pieces was perfect. Not only is Fifi’s playing magical she also has a rapport with the guests that lifts the event and makes everyone smile. She even included some impromptu East End sing along tunes to the delight of our guests. I would thoroughly recommend Fifi to provide professional, enjoyable and entertaining music for any event.

We had an incredible wedding day made all the better by Fifi and Ollie and their fabulous mixture of French chanson and guingette style music. Easy to book and very adaptable to our changing requests and timings on the day, they were a joy to work with and really helped to bring a great element of fun to our special day. They went out of their way to help make sure we had a great time, playing impromptu requests with ease and our loved them! Thanks again, highly recommended!

We booked Fifi and Rico to play some music for my 30th birthday, a 1920's themed night in a large house. They were extremely professional and friendly and tailored the music to fit in with the evening. Everyone though they were wonderful and really helped make the night extra special. I think my favourite part of the whole weekend was when everyone was up dancing to Fifi’s and Rico's music. Would certainly recommend! Thank you Fifi and Rico!

We would both like to say to you and Alex how utterly charmed we and our guests were by your presence and by your music. We felt as carefree as if we were on an idyllic summer holiday surrounded by all our dearest friends and family - you both looked wonderful and the musical tone was absolutely perfect and delivered exactly as we wished. The addition to your repertoire of Twinkle Twinkle and the ‘Can Can’ was a stroke of genius! We can’t thank you enough for helping to make our day perfect. We have no hesitation in recommending you should we know of anyone wishing to organise a special occasion. Thank you again and ‘Bravo’!

Fifi and Alex attended my party at a very short invitation. Fifi replied almost immediately to my request and kept me informed as the day approached. I always felt that they would not let me down. We tried to create a little piece of Paris in north Cumbria; a long journey from London, but thy arrived and performed on the same day. Fifi and Alex instantly entered into the spirit to entertain us by playing Parisian street music. The ambience, look and sound was just perfect. They were professional and understanding and wanted to contribute even more with interactive requests. Their performance ranged from dance music to walking among the guests to playing table-side for diners. I recommend Fifi and Alex to anybody in need of French accordion music charm and sophistication. Their Edith Piaf repertoire is a must.

Hi Fifi, I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful performance. The bride (Nadine) was absolutely over the moon, and you played such a huge role in making the event extra special for her! I really appreciate your time, talent and professionalism and will definitely think of you should we have another event like this! All the best, Serene
