"I hired Michael ( Jovan) for our 25th anniversary because I know how much my husband loved Michael when he was in high school and would even a little Mj when we first met. I guess Jovan did something to bring that back out of him because my husband stood up and started doing the moonwalk hisself! But everyone loved it, and all of our guests were asking where did we find them and was trying to get his information. He was absolutely phenomenal and a pleasure to work with."

"A very talented, experienced, and highly professional violinist. A few days before the wedding we told him which songs we wanted him to play (including some he had never played before), and on the day it was absolutely excellent! Everything was just as we had asked for. The violin made the ceremony moment truly beautiful. We are very happy with our choice and highly recommend him!"

"We are delighted that we choose Good Time Soul for our wedding! They were absolutely fantastic. Communication was always clear and we found them a pleasure to deal with. They learned a song for our ceremony which was delivered beautifully. They set a lovely chilled vibe for the aperitivo and the dance floor was filled later in the night. Many of our guests commented on how good they were. Great instrumental talent and an incredible lead singer. We are truly grateful to the band for the big contribution they made to making our day so enjoyable!"

"This dancer is different from other dancers as she approaches flamenco not only as a proud and loud way of dancing but with a lot of sensitivity and musicality. I recommend this act whole-heartedly."

"Big Mac’s Wholly Soul Band, The Globe, Cardiff, January 31st Jan Louder Than War’s Nick Fisk catches Big Mac’s Wholly Soul Band for an evening of soul classics, resulting in him feeling like he probably should have seen them sooner. There’s something life-affirming about tonight. We may be specks of dust on a chunk of rock spinning around in a seemingly meaningless way, but when people come together for this band, somehow it’s as if sense is made of the world after all, if only for the duration of the gig. Big Mac’s Wholly Soul Band have been treading the boards for some time now. And with it being such a large band, you’d think a lot of those boards must have been worn right down. They’ve been known to play in pubs and clubs the length and breadth of Cardiff, including pubs near to this very venue, like the Claude. Have always meant to catch them, but somehow never did, and as a result, this was my first time. I always thought The Regular Fries would have made a good support act. In terms of musical styles, the two bands are like chalk and cheese, but then again, if you think about it, a hamburger and a potato chip are not really similar food stuffs, but are great as a combination. But the London baggy propagandists split up some time ago, while Big Mac has just carried on. The name of the band pretty much gives it away in terms of which genre Big Mac’s fit into – unapologetically in the style of The Commitments (though they actually began before the film came out, and have even supported the band), this is a great, big band, playing all the soul classics you might expect to hear, but in such a smooth, polished style that they can rightfully claim to be the best in South Wales – it would be a brave effort to try to steal this band’s mantle. They have the look, the sound, the lot. Dressed smartly in black, there is a proper feel of professionalism, with just that little bit of gangster-chic thrown in for good measure, with the heavies on the right on the brass, the ladies on the left on backing vocals, and Mike “Big Mac” McNamara himself, proudly centre stage, with something of the look of Al Pacino about him. He has a fantastic voice, with a great range, which he can vary according to which song he’s covering – he can be deep and gravelly at one point, but then switch to softer and smoother, but all the while, extremely strong and confident – he’s a great leader, always with a smile. It’s hard to say which are my favourite songs of the set, they do them all so well. “Mustang Sally” is definitely one that seems popular with everyone; I’ve always liked “Build Me Up, Buttercup” for some reason. We have two whole sets of all the greats, plus an encore, so value for money is never in doubt. When it’s done right, I guess it goes without saying that soul music is good for the soul, and Big Mac’s Wholly Soul Band are proof positive of this. This gig was a sell-out, and there will be many people greatly looking forward to seeing them again in a few months for their 25th anniversary in Newport. "

Kate K. (Privato) - Per Luix (Power Sax, DJ set,Trio or quartet) 4/7/2023, Small Wedding We had Luigi and his band for our wedding and they were great! We really enjoyed the live music they played and the DJ party was super! Luigi played several Irish songs (we had on the playlist) and lots of the playlist songs which we had asked for !! Luigi, was extremely communicative and very flexible when we had to change some times. Luigi was there well before the start time we had agreed, was very professional and very organised with everything and played all songs as agreed beforehand! We had a few Zoom calls also in the months leading up to the wedding and just before the wedding and it really helped to get the ceremony and all the music organised! Thanks so much, Luigi and thanks to your great band!"
