"After looking online for ages trying to find the perfect band for our wedding and not finding exactly what we were looking for, we finally found U Select. They sent us a list of top quality singers who would front the band to choose from. We love country music so we choose Micki who’s voice is perfect for country and we customised our band to feature banjo, manolin and fiddle. The band showed up and WOWED all of our guests. Our friends and family still mention how they were the best party band they’d ever seen and we love that we got to personalise everything. Highly recommended and Micki was outstanding."

"The guy’s are as close you will ever get to the real Bee Gee’s, their look and harmonies are fantastic. We can’t wait to have them back. Ricky Tomlinson, The Greenroom Liverpool Barry – we mean Tony B – looked, sang, talked, moved and played guitar exactly like his alter ego. Tony has been Barry Gibb from the beginning of his calling 15 years ago. The portrayal of Maurice & Robin were every bit as convincing as Barry in their looks, trademark dry humour, dress, posture, mannerisms, movement and, of course, that unique, compelling sound. Imitation really was the sincerest form of flattery. Marhaba Desk, Author at Marhaba, Qatar's premier information guide The band were excellent, so thanks very much indeed. I didn’t see them before they left so would you please give them my thanks. Tim Manns, Station Director, The Saint, 107.8 FM, DAB Across South Hampshire, Sky Digital 899.

Evening Star Newspaper - Saturday, June 28th, 2003 This is to confirm that the event went very well. The UK Bee Gees turned up on time and set up. They were totally self-contained and extremely well organised. I am new to this and when I asked the theatre manager are all acts as good as this she said definitely not. She stated this was the most professional and best organised group she had ever worked with. The concert went very well and the audience had a whale of a time. Dancing in the aisles. We would highly recommend the UK Bee Gees and will be booking them again. Rotary Club of Felixstowe Languard, Seckford Theatre Hi Tony (UK Bee Gees). I’m Margaret writing to Thank you once more for the time of my life. The review you sent us is a very good one, it praises your show to detail. It says the show was exceptional and what impressed the writer most was that the UK Bee Gees tribute band had such great voices and that it was difficult to believe that they are not the real group and I totally agree.

"Band were great, very professional in terms of set up, clearing down. They were also really good at getting the crowd going. The acoustics in the room are often a struggle for live musicians so I think they coped with this well."

"We made the best decision to have Soulmates Collective at our wedding in Poggibonsi. From the start, Francesco was an absolute delight to deal with and provided answers to all our questions. We were a mess prior to the wedding and he took all the stress of music away from us. On the day, Francesco on piano, and Sergio on trumpet, played incredibly. At times they were the centre point of attention, at other times, soft harmony in the background. The music was perfect and I was often captivated by their mastery of music and their chemistry playing together. In addition to this, Francesco and Sergio were just beautiful human beings. We felt like they were part of our family, playing from the heart. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to anyone. You can’t go wrong with Soulmates Collective. "

"This is a wicked band! They seriously enjoy the full performance! You party hard they party harder! Totally on point. They knew when to hold back and let people drink, and they knew when time to go all out! We watched them practice, they offered to see them again if we wanted. They communicated so much to make us feel confident and connected. I am very glad we had Candy and the sound play at our wedding and I highly recommend them for anybody else's!"

"Ian P. Woodbury I’ve been serenaded AND stirred by THE ROCKITS twice in 2022, since being introduced to them only recently. I made a pledge to myself, in the mirror, to go and listen to them whenever I need to satisfy my audio addiction for exceptionally performed, hard driving Rock n Roll. As a guy who has been playing guitar, and singing for an audience since 1956, I continuously need to have my appetite satiated with Good Ol’ Rock n Roll. The Rockits satisfy my need quite satisfactorily! Thank You Very Much! The Rockits share the top shelf of the D.C. Area bands, with only a few other bands up there with them. There is no better party band than The Rockits. The band is well-rehearsed, instrumentally and vocally tight, and they really know how to keep the good vibes topped off at FULL, without losing the personal touch with their audience. Everyone in the band is a seasoned musician, sings very well, and harmonizes on key. But…the vocal standout is Robin Brown, the female vocalist. Robin should be known by everyone in the D. C. Metro Area, who enjoys hip Shakin’ Rock n Roll. ROBIN IS THAT GOOD! She commands the stage, like a Queen, but she is never domineering. She does not try to draw undue attention to herself, but knows her position on stage, as an integral part of a smoothly wild ensemble. She shares the M.C. duties with the band’s leader, Peter Grattan, who is a fine drummer, but in The Rockits, he is a triple threat on keyboards, guitar, and vocals. All the instrumentalists are in the top echelon of local talent, each attuned to his role in the overall mix, and they all shine in their spots. If you want a really satisfying Good Time of listening and dancing, there is no better band, who can lift you higher, than The Rockits. Going out to get your Rock n Roll fix with The Rockets is an evening well-spent. "

Thank you so very much Ian. We strive to give the best performance possible and it is people like you that make it all worth while. Having been 'Rockits' for over ten years, we appreciate every gig we get, every booking is unique, and having played a 3 year 6 nite a week residency at one of New Zealand's top hotels in my twenties, I know how important it is to 'entertain.' My experience as TVNZ's Head Of Entertainment Production for three years also has given me the experience needed to become an all round entertainer. Years of touring the world on cruise ships, recording four records for CBS and years in London have helped, so that our repertoire of 1000 songs spans sixty years and encompasses the best of the Rock 'n Roll era. Your heart felt review means so much! -Peter G Grattan (band leader)

"“The Ambrassadors played at our wedding and we cannot recommend them enough. They learnt our first dance song and came in perfectly. Their outfits fit in so well with the festival vibe and our guests LOVED them. Every wedding should have the Ambrassadors. We already want to organise an event where they can play again. Thank you for making our wedding so special.” "

"Ragazzi fenomenali! Raoul e Jessica, due ragazzi fenomenali, due musicisti unici che mi hanno accontentata per il giorno delle mie nozze. Ho avuto tantissime richieste da fargli e sono stati bravissimi a gestire ogni mio ogni mia richiesta. Durante il matrimonio ci sono stati momenti bellissimi di giochi organizzati proprio da loro che non ci aspettavamo. Hanno coinvolto tutti quanti, invitati e noi sposi, siamo molto felici di averli chiamati a suonare per le nostre nozze. Raoul con il suo sax poi ci ha fatto sognare suonando al nostro ballo Perfect al sax... veramente romantico e ce lo ricorderemo per sempre."

"The Fifty 4 performed two sets at our wedding on 07/09/24 and they were absolutely amazing! Several of our guests said they were the best band they’d seen at a wedding and we would agree! It was the best part of the day for us and we’re so glad that we booked them!! Thank you so much for making our special day that much better 🤩"
