Review Centre: Folk Bands

"Over the years Spectra have used Bob Ferguson, and his bands Celtic Horizon, and Beggars Row to entertain many of our corporate clients. Bob is a natural charmer, has a great voice and delivers many traditional, and more contemporary songs with great style. He always has fun on stage, loves to interact with guests, and uniquely can always be relied on to read the room so that audiences feel they are part of the experience. We love having Bob play for our clients!"

"Last weekend i met the group at the Christmas Party of an Alzheimer care home. i was fascinated by the bright positive energy they spread. Musically there was everything from gentle soulful to vibrant upbeat, acoustic and yet virtuosic and strong - at the end the whole ward was singing and dancing along to Balkan music..."

"The band's performance at our wedding was nothing short of magical! Their ability to blend romantic tunes during our ceremony with high-energetic songs at the reception kept everyone on their feet well into the night. We couldn't have asked for a better musical experience."

"For an unforgettable live music experience, Ixeis Afixeis is the perfect choice! This dynamic band blends traditional Greek sounds with contemporary energy, creating a unique and lively atmosphere that gets everyone involved. They know how to keep the crowd entertained. A must-see for anyone looking to bring the heart of Greece to their event!"

"George Zebra transformed our wedding into an unforgettable celebration! Their range of party covers, from folk to pop and rock, had everyone on their feet from the start to the end. They learned and played our first dance song beautifully, making it a truly magical moment. The DJ service was the perfect way to end the night too."

"Such an intriguing musical style as well as fashion. It’s difficult to fit Randy Perkins into the typical box that makes us feel safe as viewers and listeners. Safe to admit there’s something likable or safe to follow on a musical journey. It’s mature music pulling from his influences but with a youthful devil-may-care approach. None of the edges of his music (and they enough to show confidence) have been smoothed out so much that any emotion or truth has been removed. Quite interesting and accessible music and I’m looking forward to his new songs."

"We booked Stéphanie and Olly to play some music for my 30th birthday, an Italian and 20’s themed night in a large house. They were extremely professional and friendly and tailored the music to fit in with the evening. Everyone though they were wonderful and really helped make the night extra special. I think my favourite part of the whole weekend was when everyone was up dancing to Stéphanie and Olly’s music. Would certainly recommend! Thank you Stephanie and Olly ! "

"Absolutely professional and punctual and an excellent performance. We will look to book them again as well as recommend them to others! -- Crush E., Melbourne, FL Andy and his wife were perfect for our surprise 50th birthday party! Our theme was "Blue Ridge Country" so there music was the perfect accompanienment for the evening. The guest of honor even clogged for all in attendance to the music they played. Great fun! They even learned a new song that was requested for the evening! I would definitely consider them for any party I would be hosting for the future. Thank you both for making the night special! -- David, Hollywood, FL Great couple...perfect music for our party! -chris m, Lakeland, FL Exactly as promised. On time, played well and adapted to the conditions of our event. Very responsive and pleasant despite very last minute booking! Our guests loved the surprise -Denise G, Winter Park, FL Andy was just wonderful for my moms 60th party.... i am so happy that i booked him! -Rebecca F, Mount Dora, FL Andy Burr and Friends did a great job for us at the 90th birthday party for my stepdad! We were very pleased with their performance. I would highly recommend them. Andy was very easy to work with and the group was very talented! -Tom S, Douglasville, GA Andy and friend were awesome. We had several special requests (for he's the jolly good fellow), and 5 or 6 songs to be sung by one of our guests with Andy and friend accompanying. They were gracious, accommodating and a hit with all. Several of our guests went so far as to ask for Andy's contact information. I think that says it all.... -Jack S, Lake Park, GA Great show. The crowd enjoyed every minute of the performance. -Hank P, Jacksonville Beach, FL Andy and his wife Sara are easy going and accommodating. We loved their personalities and their music, and our whole party did as well. If I have another backyard party I would have them again! I want to add that they were so nice to let us have an open mic with their equipment. They let our sons play some songs and let our nephew play his sax and gave him some professional coaching along the way. They are true professionals and all this made the night super special. -Chrissy R, Jacksonville Beach, FL They were absolutely perfect!!!! -Jill Z, Tampa, FL Andy Burr and friends were amazing at our Colony Cove Harvest Festival. They were on time, professional, and our community members loved them! We are planning another harvest festival at a sister property and will absolutely call Andy Burr and friends to come and perform for those guests as well. Great people, wonderful music, and a real crowd pleaser! Thank you, guys! Beth Blankenship Eastern Marketing Coordinator Equity Lifestyle Properties -Beth B, Ellenton, FL What a great group of people. On time, professional, great music! -Mary Jane T, Ocala, FL They Were Great! The crowd loved them! -Robert S, Rome, GA They were completely amazing for our wedding. Very talented, friendly and professional. I highly recommend!!!! I can't thank you guys enough!! -Ashley S, Titusville, FL Wonderful performers--personable and engaging--we so enjoyed having them with us! -Melinda M, Melbourne, FL Andy Burr's band did a great job at our 70th Birthday-- contacted us immediately to discuss the event, the venue, etc. They require only a plug in to perform! We loved that we could preview his songs on his website. He accommodated our special song. It was difficult because people were hadn't seen each other for over 20 years.... everyone was chatty, which is somewhat disrespectful; but no problem. Two outgoing youngsters that wanted to perform and Andy very graciously accommodated --to the delight of the adults. They were very professional, very accommodating, very flexible, very easy to work with, great music. We'd recommend them highly. -Sharon S, Orlando, FL Andy and Sarah are wonderful performers and great people. Our Community enjoyed both their company and their talent. Their style is relaxed and friendly. They interacted with our members in a relaxed manner in total conformity with the "Country Friendly" nature of the event. Marilyn Black Dussault, President Vero Palm Estates HOA BOD -Marilyn D, Vero Beach, FL Mountain Brew was excellent! Certainly made me want to boot scoot! Unfortunately our crowd was pooped after playing 18 holes and were too tired to dance. -Kelly F, Sarasota, FL A really good group for our Irish Celtic Festival, the sound, equipment and music was very appropriate. Next year we want to try and amplify them louder so they can be heard all the way to the back of the festival field. -Lori B, Bradenton, FL Andy and friend arrived on time. Extremely nice and wonderful to work with. They performed extremely well and were very accomodating when we interrupted to make announcements. -Rita J, Pompano Beach, FL"

"Oleksandra was a fantastic addition to our event. With 150 guests from all over the world, her ability to play popular songs from different cultures was a delightful surprise! She is flexible with her style and knows how to engage with the crowd. Her talent and skill are exceptional. Additionally, Oleksandra is extremely communicative, timely, and professional. She was very easy to work with and brought so much light and joy to her performance. We wish her the very best and would highly recommend her for your next event - big or small. "

"Their ability, at short notice, to turn up and turn in a stonking evening of fine music, laced with wit, anecdotes and reminiscences. Recommended to anyone who enjoys fine trad music played with enthusiasm and enjoyment. As performed at the Rafters club, Wath, on 14th December"
