"We got Ian to DJ for our wedding on the 28/04/2024. Ian was immense and played a massive part in helping us have the best day of our lives. I would highly, highly recommend Ian for any occasion that you may have in mind for him. He was brilliant with the guests and is a really genuine guy. Book him. You will not regret him."

"They are incredibly talented musicians and just as special as people. They truly saved us on our wedding day after being called — literally — at the very last second. They sang from the heart, performing special songs and sharing their emotions with us, even getting moved alongside us! All the guests were captivated by Anna’s voice and amazed by Michele on the piano… and Alessandro was absolutely brilliant on drums! We’re more than happy to have shared our most special day with them. Thank you — we will never forget you!"

"Even on a murky February morning (2005), the first performance in July of our new commission doesn’t seem too far away. Jane Roper tells us about the composer and the composition: Howard’s way If you ever get a chance to talk to Howard Haigh about composing, take it. He has a huge range of experience, good insights into the creative process, and he communicates his enthusiasm for his work so well, I guarantee you will be both enthralled and inspired. And now he's working for us! I thought you might like to read a bit of background to his career and to his current commission. Although Howard is happily settled up north in Lancaster he trained near us; a BA Performing Arts/Music at Middlesex Polytechnic was followed by a Masters in Music/Composition at the University of London. He studied composition with Brian Dennis and David Bedford; had tutorials with Michael Finissy, George Benjamin and John Cage, and studied flamenco guitar with Paco Pena, Juan Serrano, Manuel Granados and Titi Losada. We think of him principally as a Spanish guitarist, but he also studied mandolin, keyboards, percussion, harmonica and vocal techniques. He has written for most instrumental combinations, from solo guitar, small ensembles and string quartets to bands, girls’ choirs, large choruses, electronic scores and computer music. Howard combines composing with teaching throughout the north west. He has taught guitar at Lancaster University since 2000. He is a member of the English National Ballet's Education and Community Unit, and is engaged in outreach projects in schools throughout England. The nature of this work may range from musical accompanist to residencies in which he composes an original score for a short performance. He has done similar work for Ballet Rambert and the Royal Ballet. His work has been performed at the Barbican, the Royal Festival Hall, Sadler's Wells (for the Queen) and the Purcell Room; and at festivals in Edinburgh, Brighton, Cheltenham and WOMAD. One of his great strengths is his ability to collaborate with people from a wide range of performing disciplines. I've found out that as well as working closely with singers, dancers, and actors, he has also worked with jugglers, comedians, strippers, a skiffle group, film makers and performance artists. No problem working with us then. And then add a massive list of theatre companies, musicals, community projects and commissions and it's no wonder he's always out when I call. In the 1980's Howard composed some extraordinary pieces using unusual instruments. Body Music used claps, stamps, clicks and slaps. This was followed by Kitchen Music. I bet you didn't know that Alan Titchmarsh played the saucepan in this on Pebble Mill. There was also a pre-Prom show on Radio 3 featuring unusual percussion prior to Evelyn Glennie's performance. But by the late '80s his explorations were focusing on vocal writing. Crouch End Festival Chorus gave him an exciting opportunity when they commissioned him in 1990. I heard them perform Saeta again in the Barbican last January. It was sensational. I can't even remember what the second half standard-repertoire piece was; I was still high on Howard's piece and wanted them to sing it again. "

"Absolutely wonderful. Kathleen was thoughtful, considerate and incredibly attentive to our requests. Her graceful approach to our song selection was met with complete professionalism & sensitivity. Kathleen's timing & delivery at the graveside was second to none. I will never forget the sights & sounds of an incredibly emotional day in which Kathleen sung whilst my beautiful maman was laid to rest & the sun shone upon us."

"I recently hosted my 21st birthday bash in a marquee with dinner and dancing for a hundred people. I could not have hoped to find a better act. Their music was sensational and they kept the dance floor heaving from the end of supper to the ludicrously early hours. The fact that all my guests remarked on how good the music was speaks volumes . especially considering that the guests' ages ranged from nineteen to ninety. However apart from their music, they were incredibly helpful and pleasant, of whom nothing was too much to ask and they undertook every task asked of them with a smile on their faces. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Kindest regards, Carlos Baird "

"I’m really happy to have met and worked with DJ Deepna during her residency at our club. Each of her performances was truly professional — she always brought great energy, precision, and a deep connection with the crowd. Her music is unique, uplifting, and has a signature style that stands out. Deepna knows how to create a vibe and take the night to the next level. It was a pleasure having her on board!"

"We had the dueling pianos for our wedding after party and it was an absolute blast! Keeping the party going with sing alongs and fun music like that was the exact vibe we wanted for after our reception!! Everyone really enjoyed themselves. The guys are so so talented and easy to work with! It was so much fun and we would do it again in a heartbeat!"

"Thanks for a great night. The band were extremely good and it made our wedding day very special. They played a range of different types of songs, which meant that our guests of all ages really enjoyed dancing to the music. The band were very professional, making sure that they didn't get in the way while setting up and checking on the types of songs we wanted them to play. "

"Igor played the saxophone at our wedding this Saturday and not only did we absolutely love it but so did our guests. After searching for the perfect saxophonist to play at our wedding we had multiple recommendations for Igor and after listening to his demo videos we knew we had to have him. He was so easy to work with and very responsive. 10/10 recommend!!"

Reply by Ontario saxophonist Igor Babich
