"We would like to thank you so much for the fantastic atmosphere you created at our wedding! Your music made the whole day feel like a relaxed festival experience, just as we had envisioned it. The live jazz brought so much warmth and class to the afternoon and provided the perfect background for all the beautiful moments. And as night fell, the vinyl DJ really brought that relaxed, vintage vibe that everyone enjoyed. Your choice of music was spot-on and it all felt so natural and relaxed. Thanks to you, the music at our wedding was truly one of the highlights. We heard from many of our guests how much they loved the atmosphere, and you certainly contributed a lot to that. Thank you again for your talent and dedication – we are so happy you were part of our special day!"

"Lifetime Rocker is not only an amazing band with incredible talent, they are also great people. My wife and I love live music. We’ve seen all kinds of bands, duos and trios. We always find ourselves comparing them to LTR. We have a special connection to them. They were the band playing for our first date, our engagement dinner and countless other events. I have hired them to play private events on several occasions. They are always cooperative, affordable and easy to coordinate with. Now for the personal story. My wife and I met while they were playing their monthly gig at Anthony’s in Murrieta. The first slow dance was to their rendition of My Girl”. The medley they have goes from a fast song to a slow song. So, it worked out perfect for me. We always made it a point to see LTR often while dating. When it came time for me to pop the question, I asked her at the LTR gig at Anthony’s 52 Friday's after we met. I knew we needed them to play at our wedding. The date got changed, and they rolled right with us. We have a great time whenever we hear them. When it came time to leave California, we hired them for our going away party. Kelly, Ray, Joe and Geoff have become our friends. Their wives, Valerie, Martha, Marilyn and Sheila are all friends as well. They share their hubby’s talents with us all. They are all amazing musicians in their own right, but when they play together an incredible tightness and harmony develops. If your looking for music get a DJ. If you’re looking for an incredible show and great musicians, go see LTR, or better yet, hire them for all your events!"

"Rating 5/6 : Very Enjoyable Absolute Mayhem The Horse & Chains, Bushey on Saturday 30 September 2023 It's a rare thing to go into a local pub and hear a keyboard player who has been described as a musical "genius" by none other than David Bowie. This is no tall story either. The musician Billy Ritchie was the first player in rock music to give keyboards a prominent role -- and that was before Keith Emerson (ELP) and Rick Wakeman came on the scene. Billy told me that he remained good friends with the Thin White Duke until his death in 2016. Lanark-born Mr Ritchie now provides the skilful and fancy keyboards and records backing tracks for his latest incarnation Mayhem with talented female singer Carol Leslie. Carol is a really strong vocalist with a gutsy style. This dynamic duo started their first set at the cosy Sebright Arms with Elvis's late sixties' classic Suspicious Minds. The second song was a surprise -- Kirsty MacColl's comedy number There's A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears His Elvis. It was a perfect choice after the first song. Carol and Billy select their material wisely and give their audience something very different from the predictable Mustang Sally, Brown Eyed Girl and I Saw Her Standing There, churned out by so many pub bands. So it was great to hear Georgio Moroder and Phil Oakey's electro smash Together In Electric Dreams, Matchbox's catchy rocker Rockabilly Rebel, Starship's uplifting We Built This City (on which Billy demonstrated his keyboard dexterity) and Solomon Burke's gospel-ish Cry To Me. And that was just the first half. Carol is happy to tackle songs usually associated with male vocalists and she started part two with a raucous version of Bryan Adams' rocker Summer Of 69. If you have never seen Mayhem, ask Billy to perform Light My Fire, the Doors rock classic from 1967. This was a sheer musical masterclass as he re-created both vocally and instrumentally this great song. Billy has a rich, tuneful voice and this was a stunning performance. Other highlights in the second half included Journey's rock anthem Don't Stop Believing, Carol's gritty interpretation if Shania Twain's Man I Feel Like A Woman and a fine performance of Bon Jovi's Living On A Prayer A total of 24 songs and I cannot wait to see this duo again. My only concern is their name. I think many club and pubgoers might think Mayhem are a heavy metal band rather than an all-round, top class duo.

"Scott was incredibly professional from start to finish. He was very communicative throughout the weeks prior to the event. We hired him for a farewell event and he played and sang nearly non stop for 3 hours. He is a class act, professional, and extremely talented. Thank you, Scott, for a memorable evening."

"Gary Reed played during the cocktail hour portion of the wedding outside on a patio. The music from his guitar echoed through the Vermont mountains and was a perfect compliment to the beautiful setting and atmosphere. The range of music he can play is incredible and I had many people come up to me and ask who the guitarist was. I highly recommend his playing to enhance any wedding experience. Just beautiful."

"Jeff was able to schedule our awards dinner in with short notice and did a fantastic job. Our employees really enjoyed the wide variety of music he played (seeing our CEO get up and show us some dance moves to an old Elvis song was the highlight of the night though). We look forward to having Jeff back in the future! "
