Review Centre: Party Bands

"Performing aboard paddle steamer Waverley is always a challenging experience and requires artists of great skill and initiative to grapple with the small performance space and access limitations. The Bel Canto Vintage Sisters proved perfect for our 1940's themed cruises, entertaining our passengers with a great range of wartime and big band standards, with frequent changes of costumes and great audience interaction. A delightful trio of ladies who were more than happy to change set lists and performance times throughout the day according to the needs of the ship. Their day with us ended in passengers dancing and joining in a full throated sing- a - long to much acclaim. One of the most entertaining and versatile groups I have used in 40 years of running cruises, we have received strong positive feedback from our passengers, and will be booking Angie and her trio again in 2025 for another 40s themed cruises. I recommend this group for any occasion, cruise or function. You will not be disappointed!. Tim Wardley. Waverley Excursions Thames Liaison Officer."

"Sol Chango were such an amazing band to have at our wedding. We booked them for our wedding cocktail and they provided a fantastic yet understated atmosphere. We asked them to play more upbeat music for their second set and they delivered a such a great performance. They came highly recommended and we couldn’t have been happier with them. Thank you Sol Chango for making our special day unforgettable!!"

"Reminisce nailed it! Their soulful renditions of "Waiting In Vain" and "I Shot the Sheriff" were breathtaking. The band had amazing chemistry, and they made every song feel like a heartfelt tribute. A fantastic night out!"

"BEST BAND EVER!! We had The Lucky Saints play in the evening at our wedding at The Cruin last weekend. We appreciated their communication before the big day so much for making us feel so at ease and they arrived in plenty of time on the night. Other than our first dance and a few common requests, we wanted to leave them to do their thing - and boy did they deliver! They unexpectedly started (after our first dance) with a Gay Gordons ceilidh dance which was a surprise and really turned out to be the best way to start the evening - getting everybody up onto the dancefloor and having a laugh! They then moved seamlessly on to indie anthems, classic pop tunes and dancefloor fillers - they always knew what to play next to keep everyone on their feet. All tied up with a beautiful rendition of Loch Lomond to finish the night. The dancefloor was filled the whole evening and our guests kept commenting on how great the band were - particularly the beautiful female vocals and their ability to perform such a range so well. They even gifted us a bottle of "The Lucky Saints" branded bubbly to top it off! Thanks so much for giving us the best party on our special day!! True professionals and such a lovely group, we would highly recommend!"

"Ο Μπάμπης είναι ένας υπέροχος καλλιτέχνης. Κατάφερε να αποδώσει στο μουσικό όργανο τις επιλογές μας με τέτοιο τρόπο που μας συγκίνησε και ενέπνευσε όλους τους καλεσμένους μας. Δεν υπάρχουν λόγια για να περιγράψουμε τα συναισθήματα που δημιούργησε στις μοναδικές στιγμές μας. Τον ευχαριστούμε γι αυτές τις στιγμές που αποτύπωσε στη μνήμη μας. Είναι σπάνιο να συναντήσεις τέτοιους καλλιτέχνες με χαμηλό προφίλ, υψηλό επίπεδο γνώσεων, αυξημένη επικοινωνία με το ακροατήριο και μετάδοση των vibes σε όλους. Όταν αναπολούμε τις στιγμές αυτές η αντίχηση της μελωδίας του σαξόφωνού σου χαϊδεύει τις φαντασιώσεις και τις προσδοκίες μας... Σε ευχαριστούμε!"

"Chris's music His music was fantastic. I really enjoyed his playing and singing. He started ahead of the time scheduled, and played until it rained pretty hard on him outside. It started to lightning, which is why he had to quit. I would definitely have him back again. "

"Booked with Darren for my wife's 50th Birthday bash. Communication was fantastic in the build up nothing was to much trouble . . Turned up at the exact time agreed and introduced himself and Alex the female singer . . Left them to set up and arrange their own stage . . All I can say is that they were brilliant all night from the live show to arranging the interval and end of night music . . Everybody commented on their professionalism and how they got them "up out of their seats" and every song sang was perfect for the night . . Would I recommend Samson 65 . . In one word YES for any type of event . . totally brilliant totally professional . . You will not be disappointed."

"wedding at Areias Do Seixo Hotel, A Dos Cunhados E Maceira, Portugal “WOW, what a band! We were really looking for a group to bring the party to our wedding dance floor and they did just that. They played a party/funk 2 hour set that had our dance floor full from the first to the last song. We loved how they would dance and sing through the crowd. If anyone else is looking for a party kickstarting band, we would put these guys at the very top of our list! 10/10 well worth every penny."

"Nate was by far the best thing that happened to our event! He was professional, was so accommodating and was able to read the room and give us an atmosphere that was worth celebrating! You would be mad not to have him at your next venue. Will definitely be using him again!"

"Courtney delivered an amazing performance for us at our son’s rehearsal dinner. His performance provided the perfect accompaniment at our cocktail hour. We can’t wait to book him again at our next event. I recommend him without reservation. "

"The Cheers played at our party on Saturday evening with a set between 8.30-9.30 and 10.00-11.00. They were FAB, with many of our guests asking how we had found such a great band. There pre-party arrangements were very easy with us being able to select a play list of our own choosing. We had the 5-piece band which was terrific. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
