"Resa was so fantastic from the start. We don’t live in Thailand so planning a destination wedding was already difficult enough, Resa took initiative to keep us informed of anything that happened locally and flagged any challenges that may arise which let us plan ahead. Through the whole process Resa was extremely responsive and receptive to our needs which made organising the entertainment like a dream. He was also very accommodating to our guests’ requests during our wedding and even allowed for some impromptu karaoke! Fantastic DJ highly recommend!"

"Carl has performed several gigs for my husband and me, including our wedding reception. He is always willing to learn songs and take requests. Just so amazing to work with, not to mention he’s extremely talented! Our guests loved him so much, they took his card to book him for their future events. Carl is truly gifted and one of the greatest people we know!"

"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.

"AMAZING! Not the first time i’ve been fortunate enough to witness Evie perform. Vocals are second to none, and her talent with the saxophone is brilliant to watch. So involved with the crowd and all in all a great night out when she’s on stage. Can’t wait to see where she ends up next. 🎉🎉"

"We got married on 05/26/2017 💍 Manu found his place at the celebration and cocktail hour discreetly, but with great quality and professionalism, he gave a unique touch to our wedding. We asked him to play songs at specific moments, and it was a complete success, with a lot of sensitivity. He's a shy guy but very nice. We recommend him 100%. All the guests were amazed by this guy. I found him by chance on the internet since we live in Switzerland and the wedding was held in La Manga del Mar Menor (Murcia). Manu, you are amazing, congratulations and we wish you much success in the future! Best regards, Montse and Miguel."
