"The absolute BEST! The R Factor was the highlight of our wedding last December. We had the largest dance floor possible at our venue, Saint Paul Hotel, and people were dancing on the carpet- The dance floor was PACKED all night. Almost a year later, we still have guests raving to us about our wedding band. They were professional, took short breaks (the shortest breaks I’ve ever seen at a wedding) and they played almost all of the songs we requested. I highly recommend R Factor for any event. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable!!!"

"I had the good fortune of being able to attend a performance by the good doc at one of our corporate events recently.​ He delighted the crowd both young and old with excellent renditions from a variety of genres. From songs of yesteryear to modern day hits as well as classic boleros, there was a song for everyone. Hope he's back soon! "

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Djengue on a number of occasions, both in group projects and private events, and it’s always a joy. Djengue is one of those singers who instantly brings warmth, emotion, and life to any performance. Beyond the talent and beautiful voice, she is easy to collaborate with — always reliable, creative, and fun to be around. For these qualities, every event has been a highlight. "

"We had Megan sing at our wedding to welcome guests & what an impression she made! Megan has such a beautiful voice & she really did give our wedding day that special touch. She also worked closely with us leading up to the wedding to ensure she got the right songs & the songs of our choice. Cannot recommend her enough! A very talented young lady. Thank you Megan. Xx"

"As a music journalist, I am someone well used to hearing performances covering the whole spectrum of ability, from very talented, to no talent whatsoever; mainly on the working circuit, encountering much from the bottom end of the scale, the flaws of which seemingly pass by, or go over the heads of the audience, mediocre musical acts often gaining acceptance despite (or because of) their lack of any talent whatsoever. So, when on a random whim, I booked MAYHEM into The Old Crown, Hayes, I was pleasantly surprised to come across that jewel one constantly seeks: a light hidden in the bushel, an act of great quality. Don’t get me wrong, on the surface, MAYHEM are basically just another covers band, with certainly not much more to offer in terms of choice of material than others treading the same circuit. The difference though, is in the depth of thought in the vocal arrangements, and the attention to detail in the performance of the songs. Someone in the band has true musical knowledge. The way the vocals are arranged and used is no accident, and the music has a depth and surety that is pure class. Carol’s voice is unique, and at many points conveys rare emotion for those who can hear. The two voices are a happy accident of coincidence; Carol’s rather treble voice, Billy’s gruff baritone, both interesting voices taken in isolation, but together producing a sound that is perhaps greater than the sum of its parts. The quality of both singers shows itself also in the faultlessly correct intonation, the thrilling blend and invention of the harmonies, the search for expression in the vocals, the subtle use of the arrangements to produce expression. Most of these subtleties are of course lost on the general public, but the band still have enough battle-hardened experience and know-how to ride out any waves of indifference, and overcome the hardest heart with a friendly approach to their clientele, patiently trying out various styles and eras, constantly striving to reach their listeners, despite a kind of yearning in the music for serious recognition. Personally, I found it somewhat sad that a talented band like this has to resort to some popular (and bland) material, but one must bow to reality, and work is work. Still, the musicians didn’t just accept the status quo of this material; they always had a few surprises in store in the way they approached any song, however scraped from the bottom of the barrel. Carol’s voice sounded at its best on songs like “SUMMER OF ’69” and “I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT”, but she shone through on harder songs too, like “LIVING ON A PRAYER” and “DON’T BRING ME DOWN”. Billy didn’t sing quite as many lead lines, but when he did, it was with a power and confidence that knew just how best to carry the melody, and the strength of harmony singing was in a different league from the average one would expect to hear in a situation like this. On “Living La Vida Loca” the dual vocals were outstanding, perhaps the most equal blend of the day, with other such highlights for me being “Don’t Stop me Now” and “I Wanna Know what Love is”. The locals however enjoyed some of the lighter material more, such as “Rockabilly Rebel”, square dancing their way through the afternoon with great whoops and hollers, playing their part in a very pleasant day in a very pleasant pub. There was a humorous moment when the lads at the bar joined in with “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” all pointing and dancing in the manner of Tom Cruise in “Top Gun”! A vivid sight to behold, for sure! The day ended with a raucous rendition of “Rockin’ All Over The World”, the two singers showing that they could rock it with the best of them when the chips are down. Can’t wait to see this band again. (10 / 10) Andrew Staines "

"Simon was a dream to work with from the word go! No challenge too big and a very evident delight in musicality. If you want a personal experience rather than working with the “wedding factory” suppliers then Simon and Aden are for you. We received so many compliments of how fantastic they were from the pre-ceremony right through to the dancefloor band. They learnt a whole pile of new songs for us and played with such talent, energy and charisma. Not to mention that they are lovely, lovely people. Do yourself a favour and book them ASAP."

"The Glory were without doubt the best band we have had perform at Llanarch Vineyard, and I immediately booked them for our upcoming New Year’s Eve event. I was utterly impressed with them, and from a venue point of view, they were a pleasure to deal with. I will most certainly be making strong recommendations also to our future wedding clients” Matthew Voyle – Event Manager *****"
