"I always said that I would give my left hand if I´d have the voice of John Fogerty. Good Golly, we already have the voice of Fogerty right here in Helsinki! It belongs to Marc Aulén, the vocalist of a good ol´rock band by the name of Seven Mugs. And yes the way he sways and moves his arms would make Joe Cocker happy in his heavenly choir."

"Bassline were amazing to work with - highly recommend hiring them for any event - especially a wedding. Music was a super important part of the wedding for both my husband and I, and we were thrilled with the performance, presentation and amazing vibe that Bassline provided us. Bernadette is an amazing singer and combined with the brilliant saxophonist and the rest of the band (also brilliant) they provided a range of music for the cocktails, dinner and then got everyone up and on the dance floor. They were definitely a highlight of our wedding."

"History: At the end of 2022, Ras Maxx David decided to put together a new reggae band, after more than 15 years leading the roots reggae band Shakti I&I. That's how he got together with Johan, Clot's kid, on guitar and Tomas from Argentinian Córdoba on drums. The first line-up had Ronald Salamandra on bass and Andres Tosh on keyboards, both Venezuelans. On vocals, they collaborated with Monica, Ursula, Carlota and today with Alba. The current lineup features Mel (Ras Kuko, Roe Delgado, Gadys, Leon Demaria, 9 Roots) on bass guitar, and Dontai directly from Puerto Rico (Shakti I&I, Leon Demaria, 9 Roots) on keyboards. Juanele completes the equipment from the sound console with live dub effects. They have premiered at the Palau St Jordi at the Biocultura 2023 fair, at several major festivals in Barcelona (Poble Nou, Navas, La Sedeta) and several famous clubs in the city (Jamboree, Marula, Diobar, Almo2Bar, BlackLab, Estraperlo, Garage Beer, etc.) Ras Maxx David is presenting his latest LP titled "No Competition". (2025)."

"So glad we booked this band – May 2023! They were great to deal with in advance and even learned a new song for us for our first dance. On the night they were so professional and just made the whole evening. We had so many compliments about them! They really know how to get everyone going and let their hair down."

"Hi Just want to thank you again for coming to our rescue way back. It was a great day and the timing perfect for us. I'm aware that it was probably your last event too and hope that your year hasn't been too tough... Wishing you the best for 2021 and God bless, Ruth and Jim Guthrie"

"Danger Zone put on a fantastic performance at our recent 80s themed fundraising event for Alzheimer Scotland in Aberdeen! From the outset it was hit after 80s hit leaving everyone very impressed by the quality and standard of their show. One of the couples even approached them to play at their wedding as they enjoyed it so much! Natalie and the the band pulled out all the stops and made it an excellent night to remember. Danger Zone are highly recommended and ‘simply the best’ way to enjoy the 80s classics with a live band! "

Oh thanks for your great review, Kate! We certainly enjoy entertaining with our brand of jazz, blues and swing classics… not to mention some cheeky latin and our reimagined pop/rock tunes!

"The Hot Boots Band is a very entertaining band. They come to have a good time and you will too. They play a wide variety of music spanning from old standards through to present day. They joke and engage with the audience and invite participation. They show up on time and are professional to deal with. "
