Review Centre: Wedding Bands

"Saw Break Out again last night after they played a blinder of a set at our wedding. Once again they did not disappoint. Extremely tight professional performance with one of the best set lists around. If you haven't already, go and see this band!!"

"Blue Moon Jazz Band helped to create a magical environment for our wedding ceremony and aperitivo. I was very particular about the song and exact arrangement that I wanted to walk down the aisle to, and the pianist Raphael learned it and played it so beautifully. He also did a great job playing a very technically difficult song for our recessional. The jazz standards the group played during aperitivo set the tone for the night – allowing us to connect over the music or dance and sway along if we chose to! The group plays with a lot of heart and emotion! Thank you so much to the group for contributing to the best day of our lives! We definitely recommend to all. "

"I was invited to a private event with my company and this band was outstanding! Apart from professional musicians they also interact with people during their show. I hope to see them again."

"The Nottingham Huntington's Disease charity booked Cranberry Flicks to play at their charity casino dinner and dance. From the moment they took to the stage guests were up and dancing on the dance floor. The band played an assortment of music to suit all tastes. Communication from the band leading up to the event was good and any queries I had were answered promptly. I would highly recommend and would definitely book Cranberry Flicks for future events."

"We invited the Eagles Ronstadt Experience to our Society annual meeting in Las Vegas and they CRUSHED IT. We got exactly what we thought we were purchasing, and the group was really easy to work with. I would recommend the ERE to anyone looking for a really skilled set of musicians for their corporate entertainment needs."

"One of the hidden treasures of London is the range of talent that exists on the folk and acoustic scene that rarely get the acclaim they deserve. Three London based bands that excel at performing Eastern European/Balkan Music are Szapora, Mukka and Beskydy, each of whom are worth looking out for. Nine strong Beskydy perform songs and tunes from across Eastern Europe and beyond, in fact looking at the sources on their cd listing is almost like a tour around that part of Europe, from Macedonia to Hungary via Galicia and Bulgaria and taking a detour through Slovakia. The bands name itself comes from the range of mountains that run through the centre of former Czechoslovakia which according to the band has heavily influenced their musical choices whilst they turn their hand to music from a range of sources (excellantly). The first track is a Macedonian song, Jovano, Jovanke (click here to hear the song) and the range of Joanna Fosters vocal skills are further displayed in the three Slovakian songs that make up track 4, from the slow Janosik to the more up beat cheery Anicka Dusicka and A Ja Taka Dzivocka although Foster and the band manage to intertwine the tunes with sufficient skill so the songs merge as one. Again Track 9 is a duet with Accordian player, Peter Murphy, joining Foster on the Macedonian song Iz Dolu, along with some damned fine fiddling. The range of Beskydys musical skills are illustrated well by the instrumental tracks ranging from the delightful Slovakian Waltzes (Track 5) to the slightly more manic Tropanka from Bulgaria (track 10) and onto the ordered upbeat and furious synthesis between sax, fiddle and accordian that is Tantz, Tantz Yiddelekh (a wonderful Galician Jewish tune), yet again garunteed to result in limb movement, a delightful fusion of fiddles and saxaphone, furiously creating a wonderful atmosphere one that demands a physical response. One very minor complaint is the sleeve of the CD, it would be nice (or do I just lead a very shallow empty life) to have some information/lyrics or even translations of the songs, something about the origins of the tracks. That said its more than possible for bands with large bank accounts to produce nice extensive sleeves but not so easy for bands whose talents lie in their music rather than some slick marketing agencies. It would be impossible to identify one part of this cd that could be said to stand out more than the rest. The band have produced an album that is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish - the question that comes to the fore when listening to this is when is the follow up going to be available? "

"Unreal! Just Unreal! Natalie & Owen - 05.25 What an absolute class act. Having met Oleg before, I already knew he was going to be good-but he totally blew us, our friends, and our family away. The evening entertainment was beyond first class. Abi provided our evening DJ and saxophonist for our wedding, and no amount of words will do either of them justice. Oleg and Liam were nothing short of phenomenal. We spent so much time carefully planning every detail of our wedding-hymns, colour schemes, flowers, even the cutlery-so the day truly felt like us. But for the evening, we wanted something different: a full-on party that took us back to our youth, those carefree days and epic nights. And that's exactly what we got-plus so much more.

The vibe was like being in a private Ibiza club. The Du mixing was spot-on, and the saxophone performance added that next-level magic. The energy was unreal. The dance floor was never empty, and everyone-literally everyone-was raving about it!! Abi's performers are absolute pros: talented, professional, yet totally down to earth. They didn't just provide music-they created a whole experience. Our evening reception wouldn't have been what it was without them. Thank you for making it unforgettable! Forever grateful! Natalie and Owen xx"

"As music was one of the most important aspects of our wedding myself and my husband took a long time to research which band we wanted for our party - Soul Boulevard were fantastic from start to finish. We had excellent communication with the band before the event, and all our requests were accommodated, their professionalism was exceptional. When it came to the actual party they did not disappoint, the singers and band were amazing and created the perfect party atmosphere. Our guests had a fabulous time and I had so many compliments afterwards. I would not hesitate to book them again for an event and would recommend them in a heartbeat!"
