"My goodness! We hired Paora and Michelle to sing at our wedding and they were absolutely pertect for what we needed! They are a beautiful looking couple and so professional. And they can SING!!! They seemed to read the room perfectly and set the mood for the our guests with their song choices that we all absolutely loved. We didnt even have to give them our preferences. They just knew. Paora and Michelle had everyone tapping their toes, smiling, laughing and happy. You can see through their performance how much they love each other. I am definitely calling them again for our anniversary. Hire them! They're amazing."

"Sarah will certainly make any event, formal or informal, large or small, one to remember. I have seen her perform at many local events over the years, be it church concerts, theatre venues, pub functions or weddings and funerals. Whether you are looking for a talented singer who can entertain and wow an audience, or a sensitive professional who will add a touch of magic to a more formal occasion. Sarah fits the bill. I would highly recommend Sarah and am convinced that you will be over the moon with her friendly service and exceptional performance."

"Music&Soul ha creato un’atmosfera intima e raffinata, con un repertorio vario e mai scontato. Alcuni brani ci hanno piacevolmente sorpreso! Il quartetto con piano, batteria e sax ha dato un tocco di classe alla serata, mentre il violinista e il pianoforte hanno reso la cerimonia un momento indimenticabile. Il DJ set ha trasformato la festa in una serata memorabile! Bravissimi e consigliatissimi. "

"We booked Gemma after looking at a couple of YouTube video's for our wedding. We also asked whether she could sing our song which wasn't on her repertoire and not one we'd heard anyone else cover. Follow You, Follow Me by Genesis. She did the song justice and sung it superbly. Gemma was punctual and very easy to get on with. So many people commented afterwards as to how good she was and the fact they thought is was a record being played. She effortlessly switched between different musical genres, slow, fast, classical, jazz & contemporary. We had only booked her for the ceremony and now wish we'd had her services for the rest of the day/evening in place of the DJ. Would so recommend Gemma and just need to find an excuse to book her again. Amazing voice. Thank you."

"Just wanted to say how fantastic Andy was at my daughters 10th neon glow party he was so enthusiastic and kept all 30 children. Entertained, all the parents have commented on how good he was and have even asked for his contact details. I highly recommend Andy and will defiantly be using him again. Thanks"

"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 "
