"What a fantastic band. We booked Steve & the band for my parent's 60th Wedding Anniversary. The music was fantastic and some modern songs were played too. Just brilliant and thank you for making their night extra special "

"Good evening Derek, Well, you cracked it!! I’ve heard nothing but good reports regarding your input to our evening; on behalf of everyone who was present, and in particular our members, I wish to thank you and the boys for making it such a special evening for us. I have no doubt that you will be contacted by people who were at the event, which is no more than you deserve. Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing you in the future. Kind regards"

"We recently booked the LA Jazz band for our wedding at the end of June. Needless to say, they were absolutely amazing. We had them set up on the lawn of our venue as a surprise for our guest (we hadn’t told anyone about them) and the guys were extremely accommodating in doing this. We asked them to arrive at a different entrance to the venue so our guests wouldn’t see them, which they were absolutely fine with doing so. Their performance on the day was first class and all of our guests loved them - and are still talking about them to this day! All the guys are extremely friendly and were a pleasure to speak to, before and on the day. Couldn’t recommend them enough!! (10 / 10) "

"We booked Oleg for our wedding reception and we were beyond impressed! He was incredibly talented and professional throughout the whole process. Everyone really enjoyed his music and he made our drinks reception extra special! We would recommend his services to anyone looking for a saxophonist!"

"Dennis and his band were amazing for our wedding band! They put so much time and effort into learning our songs and putting together a playlist our guests loved. People were dancing all night! Also Dennis, the band leader is great to work with and knowledgeable about music. Picking them for our wedding band was such a great decision. The music sounded so great all night long!"

" Unique, talented, mellow DJ! Brian was approachable to talk to, esp. with it being my first time working with a DJ. He was willing to take the time to listen to songs that were important to me and other things about the wedding (actually we had a renewal of vows celebration that was like a wedding). Brian gave great suggestions based on lots of experience. His skills exceed that of others DJ's I've seen -- he's a musician himself too...a really good one! He has a ton of songs to pick from, too; he even pulled out what I'd call dinner versions of a lot of the songs on my playlist for when we were eating (our plan was to have more mellow music during that time). He was friendly and flexible, joining in with 2 other musicians I hired for square/folk dance music. If you're looking for someone who will bring a calm presence, look no further. I've been recommending Brian to several friends. Bonus: he played the music the perfect loudness (as in loud for a party) but comfortable for the ears (you could hold a conversation). I think this contributed to our guests feeling comfortable and smiling the whole time and getting to know each other. I loved that Brian brought equipment for the music to be outdoors at the end when my husband and I danced our special Last Dance on the grass surrounded by family and friends; it was so joyful and fun.

"Many thanks Derek - you were a huge hit, as I’m sure you hear all the time. We’ve received so many compliments and comments about how expertly you played, how joyful the music was to listen to and from a booker’s point of view you were a dream to work with. I shall be in contact again as we'd love to have you back…"

"We would like to thank the band Hot Wings for their flawless and entertaining performance at our school's prom, which took place in January 2023. Cooperation with the band was great, communication was fast and arrangements were made without any problems. The graduates and other guests were very satisfied, because the selection of songs for the dance was suitable for both the students and their parents. Once again, thank you very much and we will definitely be happy to cooperate next year."

"Michelle's Birthday Party - excellent jazz band, very classy, perfect for the event in question. It's nice to see a band which does things so simply and professionally, providing a full sound with the minimum of equipment. They were happy to play to the room when people were eating and talking, at a volume which still allowed conversation, but were friendly and engaging as and when people wanted to interact with them. The singer they provide (if required) has a great voice, well matched to their style, no over-acting or dramatic self indulgence, just confident, strong and pitch perfect. Great day, thank you."

"What a treat to have The Texas Gypsies play our wedding. We wanted classic music and styles that people of all ages could dance to. They did a fantastic job, and we heard so many compliments from our guests--many of whom were musicians as well. Several people liked the band enough that they bought CDs, too. The Texas Gypsies even let my Dad play a little number. Very sweet. You can't go wrong with this band!"

"Stephen was patient with me as I was planning a memorial service for my father. I changed my mind a couple of times and Stephen just rolled with the changes. He met my wife for a rehearsal session and then nailed the performance during the ceremony. Stephen also provided some lovely and background and mood music prior to the service and jumped-in with musical accompaniment during the congregational hymns."

"Hi Graham   We just wanted to say a huge thank you for being involved in this year's Virgin Sport Hackney Half.   What you and the other musicians delivered was above and beyond our expectation and bought smiles to so many faces around the festival village and on the race course.   We very much look forward to working with you again soon!   Best wishes, Abi, Pieto, Becca and all the Progress team"

"12/10 For This Group!!! I was in charge of booking a 15 person marching band for a company trade show and WOW did The Sidewalk Crusaders impress!!! Not only was Peter incredibly professional and easy to work with, the music and band was exactly what we were hoping for. They were punctual, friendly and dedicated to making the best show possible for us. I can't recommend them enough if you are looking for an amazing band to liven up an event/show. Their music was on point and made for a very memorable event. Thank you Peter and team for doing such a great job!"
