Review Centre: 1990s Era Musicians & Bands

"There are truly no words to describe how perfect Alkka and Chris’s duet was on our wedding day. From the very beginning, working with them was smooth and stress-free, they were always reassuring, helpful, and nothing ever felt like a problem. This was especially appreciated as we were planning a destination wedding without a planner and without speaking Spanish. On the day itself, they exceeded all expectations. They were absolutely incredible, better than we ever could have imagined. All of our guests commented on how amazing they were, not just as musicians but as warm, lovely people who were a joy to chat to. They read the vibe of the day perfectly and even treated us to some Irish favourites that went down an absolute storm! We would highly recommend Alkka and Chris for your big day, you’ll be so glad you booked them, and your guests will be too!!! Thank you both so much for making our day so memorable. "

"On Saturday 16 September 2023, we celebrated our 116th birthday. We had heard good things about Bob Ferguson from others, so we decided to have him round off a great day with 3 hours of superb entertainment. It was an unforgettable evening, Bob really manages to hit his audience, and the atmosphere was instantly top notch. Bob got everyone involved, and there was dancing and singing along to the big gold medal. And the best recommendation you can get is that we have hired Bob Ferguson again for a good and pleasant day/evening in March 2024."

"The last couple of years we had the pleasure of having the Scottish musician Bob Ferguson on stage. He is a great performer. With Bob in the house, you're sure of having an entertaining afternoon or evening. And the music he's playing is diverse. Scottish and Irish folk, but also songs made by himself. We knew Bob already from concerts he played in our folkclub with Beggars Row and Celtic Hearts. But his solo concerts are also from high quality. So whenever you have the chance to get him on stage in your folkclub, bar or festival.....?! Book this guy! "

"Howard arrived on time, promptly set up and was professional and polite. Howard shared his web page to listen to some of his work, this helped me to know what to expect and I was very happy to find him in a short notice. We enjoyed having Howard play at our client event. We received great feedback and reviews from our guests, everyone enjoyed his music! Howard even took and played some requests! "

"I'm not one to write reviews, but this rumba band deserves every word of praise. His music is contagious and takes you on a sonic journey that makes you feel like you're part of something great."

"Sophie & Joseph Duo az esküvőnkön szolgáltatta a zenét, ahol a vacsora alatt igényes jazz zenével, majd később kiváló party hangulattal tették felejthetetlenné az estét. Professzionálisan, remek érzékkel alkalmazkodtak a vendégekhez és a hangulathoz. A násznép és részünkről is maximális volt az elégedettség. Szívből ajánljuk őket bármilyen különleges alkalomra! "

We went to a restaurant just off Sixth Avenue and wound up talking from 2:30 pm until 8:00 pm. All those hours we talked about the saxophone, about music, and how this must-cian from Seattle was faring in the Apple.

It's at once bold and incisive, spirited and alarming. Booker 1. is daring enough to bring together in his own compositions things that are usually kept separate - jazz and religious music. It makes for a spritely, fun sound. The listener will be moved by the intensity, range and absolute beauty of the entire delivery. But caution: do not trust the titles, expect a surprise.. As music brings the warmth and light of beauty into our lives, this recording will warm our hearts and spirits. Through this light, perhaps we will see a little more of ourselves. Possibly, we will come to understand a bit more of each other. Either way, it is a wonderful gift. Booker 1. is a colossal talent! Gregg Gordon "

"It was truly like having Cher, in person, at our party. The look, the costumes, the voice, the moves - right on the money! In addition to her professionalism, she personalized her jokes and had a marvelous rapport with her audience. Everyone who was there will be talking about a fabulous night with (almost) CHER for a long time to come. We would absolutely recommend Helene for a fun and memorable event. The best I've ever seen.

"I hired EUPHORIC for my friends surprise birthday bash and they delivered a great performance all around. They had a versatile range of songs to choose from and were also happy to take on some other tunes which were not in their list. They were easygoing, dedicated, hardworking personas and also a funny bunch to hang out with. I would definitely love to work with them again!! ❤️"
