"We hired Horizon for a high-profile corporate dinner and dance, and they delivered a flawless performance. The sound quality was excellent, the lighting looked very professional, and the versatile setlist was exactly what we needed to cater to a diverse crowd. They were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. A truly top-tier event band."

"AMAZING! We changed our plans from having a DJ to a band with 1 week to go for our wedding in June 2021! Me and my Husband have incredibly different tastes in music so was very skeptical about selecting a band! As soon as I sent a request, Phil was straight on the phone, talking us through all the details and immediately made me feel confident about our choice! I even tried my luck at asking them to sing our first dance song.. within a week they learnt it and performed it at the wedding and It was just incredible! Every single wedding guest commented how brilliant the band were! From start of the set to the end they were faultless! I can’t recommend them enough!"

"They are such a lovely, sweet group with a vast repertoire; if they don't have a specific song, they do their absolute best to adapt and play it. I can't thank them enough—especially Sergi, our main point of contact—for their patience and dedication. They are a top-notch group. They played at my church ceremony, and the music sounded so beautiful that I still get goosebumps thinking about it. I would recommend them a thousand times over. You guys are wonderful. Thanks for everything."

"Performance was Top completely within the contempt. Great artist, very flexible and good agreements were made. It is special that such a good sound can indeed be created by 1 person. Everyone on the terrace clearly enjoyed the performance. It was also nice to see that many other people came to the performance. It was a fantastic evening and we booked Dominique again."

"Will definitely book again! Very professional and an amazing singer! From our initial communication and during the event we couldn’t have asked for better entertainment. Loved Riley’s genres of music and guitar playing. We felt like we were at a private concert. Thank you a special night!"

"All of this is an admittedly roundabout way of confessing that I wasn't prepared to be as delighted as I am with Go Tell It on the Mountain (Silkheart), an album of traditional hymns and originals with heaven-gazing titles by Booker T. Williams Jr., a New York-based tenor saxophonist originally from Seattle who performs as Booker T. The obsessive soul-searching implicit in the programming suggests an affinity with John Coltrane. But unlike too many of the saxophonists who aim for Coltrane's spiritual elevation, Booker T has a devilish sense of humor best illustrated by his "Say amen, Gracie" drollery on "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," a homey little melody he elongates and fragments with the comic élan of a Sonny Rollins. In fact, the classic album that Go Tell It on the Mountain most recalls is Way Out West, Rollins's 1958 album of cowboy tunes--and not just because Booker T, like Rollins before him, finds inspiration in unlikely places. It's also because Booker T's interaction with the bassist Saheb Sarbib and the drummer Andrew Cyrille is as carefree and almost as electrifying as Rollins's with Ray Brown and Shelly Manne thirty years ago (or better yet, with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones on A Night at the Village Vanguard, from around the same time). Despite the sarcasm implicit in Booker T's low-register bleats, his performances of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" and "Jesus Loves Me" exude sincerity, much the way Rollins's interpretations of oddball pop tunes do. For Booker T, as for Rollins, satire is a sign of respect, not condescension. Booker T is ecumenical: one of the album's most infectious cuts is "Halle Kalle Mazeltov," a hora whose modality he cagily exploits. The Spartan trio format means that Sarbib and Cyrille have to function as soloists as well as rhythm stalwarts, and both men shoulder the added burden gracefully, maintaining melodic continuity in a manner that bassists and drummers seldom do when they solo. Despite the length of some of the tracks (the title tune, which is just over sixteen minutes, is a Booker T original, not the folk song of the same name), Booker T's solos never deteriorate into self-indulgent braying. His sense of thematic exposition is too well developed for that-another cue he takes from Rollins. (And as if to underscore his lineage, the CD-only bonus track is Rollins's calypso "St. Thomas.") He switches to alto on his own "When Mama Cries I Cry," and his phrasing is impressively speechlike on this lighter horn. "

"I have worked with 5th Gear on several occasions at several events throughout the area and I cannot say enough about the band. Not only do they sound great and have a wide range of music in their repertoire, but even more important in my book, they are consummate professionals. I have worked with enough "diva" bands to know these guys are not that at all. An absolute pleasure to work with each and every time. If you have the chance to see these guys play or better yet have a chance to hire them for your event, do not hesitate. Just do it. You will not regret it! "

"I can 100% recommend The Lewd Tunes. They had our dance floor full all night and were absolutely once of the best parts of our big day. Pat was so professional to deal with and was so fast with his replies every time. Thanks so much guys. Aine and Brian"

"Kate sang for our recent downsized wedding. We had initially booked her to provide background music for the drinks reception but when we downsized due to covid restrictions we asked if she could perform at the evening reception as well. She was incredible and brought all the energy of a full band, we just wish we could've done more than groove in our chairs for her! Kate's voice is just something else. I cannot begin to thank Kate enough for her communication with us throughout this uncertain time - it was phenomenal. She was professional and reassuring, reaching out after each government curveball and setting our mind at ease. We wholeheartedly recommend Kate not only for her incredible voice but for her warmth and professionalism. "
