"Tom was nothing short of excellent at our wedding! We had him booked for 3 hours and he played during our ceremony and reception. The blend of acoustic and vocals were superb and it absolutely made the whole afternoon perfect. We had so much good feedback from all our guests over how great he was!"

"It was a dream. He has a song specially that we wanted to have implemented perfectly without the notes. Everyone was excited in the church and had goose bumps. Thanks again. You completed our wedding perfectly.   The communication went smoothly.   With a lot of passion for the piece playing. He lives and loves the music."

"Brian R. 5.0 Rehearsal Dinner Reviewed on: 10/15/2024 Ross Mcginnes was the consummate professional. He played at my Son and Daughter in Laws welcome party in August and everyone is still talking about him. His talent and song selection was incredible. There were many challenges that night due to streets being closed down for a block party in Gloucester. Ross managed through the challenges and performed flawlessly, with a smile on his face, the whole evening. I would highly recommend Ross for any type of event. He really read the room and crowd well! My only regret was that we didn’t hire him for the cocktail hour for the wedding, the next day. Looking forward to seeing him at the Cliff House this fall!"

"Matt was fantastic at our wedding this summer, playing live outside to our guests prior to the wedding breakfast. He played one song we requested and the rest we left up to Matt. His experience in choosing the songs to play to the audience at the right time is invaluable. Matt has all the right equipment, fully insured with PAT certificates which alot of venues ask for upfront and Matt was forthcoming with this info. Matt liaised with the venue manager to workout timings where to setup and took any stress out of the whole situation. Fantastic professional who has an amazing voice and puts his own twist on covers without departing too far from the original so you can have a sing along. Just brilliant. No hesitation bookings him again for any type of occasion "

"Love the vocals, harmonies… I really like it… a distinctive sound… chord progressions blend beautifully. Lyrical composition with layers of deeper meaning (I really liked that!)” "

"La loro professionalità, simpatia e capacità di creare un'atmosfera coinvolgente per gli eventi, come matrimoni e feste è unica! Evidenzio come il ritmo e la cordialità siano stati impeccabili, ho apprezzato la loro bravura e la loro capacità di stupire con la musica. Musica che vi farà ballare, cantare e scatenare e che renderà la festa del vostro matrimonio ancora più speciale ed esilarante. La Italian Band farà anche molto di più di questo: coinvolgerà i vostri invitati, ascolterà le loro e le vostre esigenze e avrà come unico obiettivo quello di far decollare la serata e sapranno come rendere il vostro ricevimento nuziale un evento unico nel suo genere e assolutamente coinvolgente. I brani proposti, rigorosamente live, abbracciano diversi generi musicali e sono adatti a un pubblico ampio e diversificato, come spesso si incontra ai matrimoni. La Italian Band farà divertire proprio tutti e trasformerà la vostra festa in un evento musicale memorabile! Davvero una garanzia con le loro voci coinvolgenti accompagante da Fisarmonia e Ukulele. Un caro saluto a Stefano e Umberto! "

"Harmie brought his full Cockney repertoire to the cavernous Cavalier pub in Whetstone and he had to fight his way through the crowds to get to the stage, arriving with his guitar, a collection of harmonicas, his cloth cap and braces and a mug of jellied eels. This was a real Cockney knees-up evening for the regulars, who included in their midst the Pearly King and Queen of Purley, or was it Finchley? Kicking off with Chas 'n Dave's raucous toe-tapper, "The Sideboard Song" the cheeky chappie tackled a lovely bunch of Cockney ditties, including Tommy Steele's showstopper, "What A Mouth"; an entertaining version of the old Billy Cotton (now there was a good old Cockney) number, "The Marrow Song"; and the singalong tunes, "Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner", "Show Me The Way To Go Home", "Meet Me At The Church" and the tasty, "Hot Meat Pie, Saveloys And Trotters". Highlights of the first set were Harmie's harmonica-led rendition of the Shadows' classic instrumental, "Apache" and, following a request from a punter, a countryfied version of "What Made Milwaukee Famous", which was part made famous by Rod Stewart. The lovable Cockney character was in humorous form too calling for 'security' when a man approached him for a request, and in telling the audience: "As this is Whetstone I thought we ought to do a song about infidelity," before launching into Gene Pitney's, "24 Hours From Tulsa", complete with harp solo. The second set brought more Cockney treats with Bernard Cribbins' "Right Said Fred"; Mike Jerome's clever, "Sling Yer Hook" and Chas and Dave's weepie, "Ain't No Pleasing You". The audience were loving Harmie by now, but soon he had to battle his way through the masses again to get to the Harmie-mobile and a trip home to the Old Kent Road."

"🎷 Une prestation inoubliable pour nos fiançailles Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir Stéphan comme saxophoniste lors de notre party de fiançailles, et c’était tout simplement parfait ! 🎷 Il a été présent toute la soirée et a su créer une ambiance incroyable — toute notre famille en parle encore des semaines plus tard ! Sa musique a vraiment donné vie à notre événement. En plus de son immense talent, Stéphan est d’une grande gentillesse : la communication avec lui a toujours été simple et fluide, et sur place, on avait l’impression qu’il faisait partie des invités. 💛 Chaleureux, professionnel et passionné, on le recommande sans hésiter !"
