"There was one helluva great set of jazz this evening, when band leader and trumpet player Rick Holland brought nine fabulous musicians to the Pausa Art House including alto sax giant Bobby Militello, tenor sax wizard Andy Weinzler and baritone sax player Dean Keller, along with trumpet players Ron D’Angelo and Mark Filsinger, with trombonists Ken Crane and Brendan Lanighan, with Tom Kasperick on drums and bass player Emiliano Lansky, and with the very young, but very cool Harry Graser on piano. The great, blended horn sound provided a rock-solid ground for the wide-ranging, but sweetly swinging vocals of the young, very gifted Lindsey Holland. Do not ever miss a chance to hear this group in the future!"

"I can’t say enough great things about this entire band. Igor is such a pleasure to work with and the all of the musicians were not only impeccable but musically very very talented. Our entire event went off without a hitch due to their talents."

"Just a short note to thank you ever so much for the great show and dance for us here at the HAG. I have waited until today to write this as we had a meeting on Wednesday and it confirmed everything that I told everyone about the upcoming show and dance. I was told, the band said this was the first time you have played in a hanger and I must say, the acoustics were awesome and the sounds were great even where I was sitting. At the time I thought you had more than enough on your plate but how in hell did you save the song "At Last" for the very last number. It was the very song I would have requested and it back to my Junior and Senior days in high school. Nuf said about that. Yup, I might have had a small tear in my eye, hearing the music, you absolutely stunning! And the Band, exceeded my expectations. Got to get you guys back—Rick Holland is just a splendid musician!!"

"Whether as MD, arranger or instrumentalist (or as is often the case, all three), Simon brings a level of rock-solid professionalism that makes everything a pleasure. His exceptional talents as an instrumentalist go without saying. But he is a dependable and hugely reassuring presence onstage and great fun off it. A real asset to any ensemble.

"The Latin Lovers are amazing!!! Not only are Juan and Vern gifted musicians, but they also share something much more important when they perform, they share a genuine love of music and life. The Lovers are among the greatest acts performing today in that they are consistently able to make every single person at their show feel completely welcomed in. They exude a passion and joy that brings everyone right in and they will make you feel that there is no separation between performer and audience. They are guaranteed to lift your spirits and get you moving and shaking."

"WOW, we are totally lost for words, what an EPIC performance and evening with you. There is nothing we wanted more from our wedding than for our friends and family to be laughing, smiling, singing and dancing. Because of you this was how the whole evening went. Our photos are going to be picture perfect from the great time that was had by all. We can’t thank you enough and couldn’t think of anyone better to have celebrated our day with. Enjoy Christmas and a very happy new year ? Lots of Love, India and Ricky Wiltshire (Elmore Court 30.11.2021)"

"The Las Vegas Experience was a great show for our Christmas Party. Music for all tastes with a fantastic singer and musician performing with a full light show and great sound. Marty is a true professional and a gentleman, nothing was too much trouble and provided a good DJ service as well."

"From the very beginning Rock Tonight were just excellent. Laura was the person I was in contact with most and her response time was super quick. She was always very reassuring and accommodating and the band helped make the wedding day run so smoothly. I really enjoyed the covers that we'd asked them to learn and the whole band had such a wonderful presence. Loved their set list and the performance on the night of the wedding was fantastic. Lots of guests were asking how we found Rock Tonight and we're very glad we did! She's got a great voice, the band's sound was exactly what we wanted and really helped the energy on the wedding. I couldn't recommend them enough!"

"Quedó todo precioso. El trato de Alex fue magnifico y profesional en todo momento. Fue sorpresa para los invitados y alucinaron, nos queda un recuerdo precioso del día de nuestra boda. Lo pasamos genial!!! La familia nos dijo que no se esperaba un cóctel amenizado de esa manera y que lo disfrutaron mucho "

"Un diez en todos los sentidos. Queríamos hacer una presentación diferente de nuestra empresa. Alex se mostró entusiasmado con la idea desde el primer momento. Colaborador. Proactivo. Creativo. Le dimos las ideas clave que queríamos transmitir y escribió él mismo la letra, adaptándola a un tema flamenco. Nuestros clientes, directores de marketing y comunicación de algunas de las principales marcas de alimentación españolas, alucinaron. Nunca habían disfrutado de nada igual. Exitazo. "

"We had already attended a Rocktoight concert at another wedding and we were very happy to have them at our wedding. From the beginning they were always very helpful, flexible and professional, they helped us to have the day as we imagined, in addition to giving an excellent concert at the end of the day. We definitely recommend this band!"

"Thank you so much for playing on Sunday night. Our first dance was perfect and just what we wanted! All of our guests loved the music and said how good the sound was. Mr Swing’s Dance Orchestra were absolutely more than we could have hoped for and made many happy memories for us."
