"During our performances on board the Caledonian Sky in Syros on May 20 and May 27, 2025, we received truly heartwarming feedback from both the guests and the ship’s personnel. The crew told us that our show was “elegant, soulful, and engaging from beginning to end.” They praised the warm Mediterranean atmosphere we created and highlighted how our mix of Greek, Turkish, Sephardic, and cinematic music was unique yet accessible — a perfect match for their international audience. They also mentioned how much they appreciated Eftyhia’s role as a native English speaker, noting that her introductions and communication with the guests made a real difference in creating connection and comfort throughout the evening. From the staff side, both Nicola and Craig, along with other crew members, personally expressed how impressed they were with our professionalism, flexibility, and musical quality. They made us feel genuinely welcome and valued, and even said they would be happy to host us again in the future. Our collaboration continues with great mutual respect and appreciation, and we look forward to more beautiful musical moments together."

"He is humble, appreciative and accommodating. Add to that his excellent guitar playing and repertoire and you have magic. His voice is superb, of course his mellifluous Irish tones adda special character to his performance. "

"He played at our Uncles graveside service today as part of or uncles last wish to have bagpipes present during his Military honors. He was so kind and considerate of our families wishes and made sure to collaborate with the US Marines to make sure and honor their protocol as well. He communicated with me every step of the way as I have never had to hire a Bagpiper, and made the progress easy, especially during such a hard time. The service was flawless, and between him and the US Marines it all came together beautifully. Thank you. Our entire family is eternal grateful."

"We hired Emanuele for the welcome dinner for our guests and it was a perfect choice. We wanted music that was not intrusive but not boring and he immediately understood what to do for us. He is a very refined musician and knew how to play the right notes at the right time. Emanuele was also very helpful in the previous months with video calls to plan and answer our questions. We are very satisfied, our guests have complimented us and we recommend this excellent artist."

"...The "Girls Speak" event, a brand created by Lola Ponce and Clizia Incorvaia, recreated the gypsy and Andalusian atmosphere of flamenco, with performances by Argentine guitarist Miguel Fernandez, a distinguished guest of the international "Soul's Food Nights" festival, on the same terraces of the five-star Villa Athene hotel in Agrigento, Sicily. ...Afterwards, everything was invaded by hundreds of fuchsia balloons for a pink aperitif by the pool accompanied by the music of Miguel Fernandez, one of the greatest flamenco and South American guitarists for "Soul's Food Nights.""

"Η μπάντα Ixeis Afixeis προσφέρει μια μοναδική μουσική εμπειρία, γεμάτη αυθεντικότητα και πάθος. Με το πλούσιο ρεπερτόριό τους, που περιλαμβάνει λαϊκά, ρεμπέτικα και παραδοσιακά ελληνικά τραγούδια, ξέρουν να κλέβουν την παράσταση σε κάθε εκδήλωση. Η ζωντανή τους παρουσία και η εκρηκτική ενέργεια που μεταφέρουν στο κοινό κάνουν κάθε στιγμή αξέχαστη. Ιδανική επιλογή για κάθε γιορτή που θέλει να αναδείξει την ελληνική μουσική κουλτούρα!"

"Simon & Aden played for us at the 2023 Adelaide Marathon Running Festival as one of the bands out on course entertaining the runners. Although I did not get to hear them personally, we had good report backs from those that did. Thanks. Hope to have you back next year."

"We had the pleasure of having the most charming Italian wedding band perform at our wedding in Venice, and they truly made the day unforgettable. From the moment they started playing, they created a joyful, romantic atmosphere that set the perfect tone for the evening. Their repertoire was a fantastic mix of Italian classics and modern hits, and they effortlessly transitioned between genres, keeping all of our guests entertained. The highlight of the night was the serenata they performed at the end of dinner. It was magical! Such a special moment. It was the perfect closing note to a wonderful meal and a beautiful day. If you’re looking for a band that brings warmth, authenticity, and pure joy to your event, I can’t recommend them enough. Marino and the band went above and beyond and really made our wedding everything we dreamed of!"

"A fantastic evening by the super musical accompaniment of La Sooph! 👍 Very easily accessible band that also express their own personal enthusiasm during the songs. We chose four people and had a very nice time together with Sooph (vocals), Maurits (double bass & manager of the band), female percussion and guitar! At the end of the evening all guests said that they really enjoyed the music and the band 😀 For future parties I will definitely check if they will be joining us for a follow-up performance 🎊"
