"Bob Ferguson has played in Hannes Musikcafe in March 2023 and we have been to several of his concerts. His repertoire ranges widely from the Scottish/Irish/American song treasure mixed with his own numbers. From beginning to end, he involves the audience – ie; - he moves around among the audience and gets them to sing along to the many well-known sing-along songs. Bob is fantastic at "reading" his audience, makes lots of fun, laughs and jokes and has a fantastic contact with his audience. The songs mix with seasoned fine stories, lots of humour and vivid descriptions. Dressed in a kilt and with his powerful voice, from the moment he takes the stage, he creates a close and intimate atmosphere, and you leave the concert in a good mood. We can wholeheartedly recommend Bob Ferguson."

"We loved the show! We also loved the living table girls in their disco costuming, the themed stickers and necklaces for guests, and dancers on stage dancing away before the show started to set the mood. The band was great and the lead singers were amazing! Costumes were right on, and portrayal of the duos were spot on! What a talented group!"

"A very special experience for us, was when a Sunday in June, for the first time we held a house concert. The Artist, yes, it was Bob Ferguson and what a wonderful day it became. We had borrowed a tent. and scraped the neighbours. and own garden chairs together, and had invites family, friends, neighbours, and others, at a concert in the garden. Not everyone knew about Bob already, but we have received incredibly many happy, and positive feedbacks. Everyone was excited about the music and the amazing atmosphere that Bob created. It was a huge experience, and it didn't require much. Bob is highly recommended if someone has a party in mind, and I certainly don't think it's the last time we do it. and the guests are ready, I have no doubt about that. "

"“We were absolutely delighted with Beskydy’s commitment, talent, and performance. They learned a piece specifically for my daughter’s wedding march, and their repertoire perfectly matched our guest list for a Jewish wedding which was also attended by family from the Balkans” - 10/10"

"Roisin Ban are excellent. They arrived at the venue on time, set up quickly and then really got the party started. Excellent musicians, friendly, helpful, involved the audience and played exactly what I had requested. Would not hesitate to use them again in the future. I wish them all every success."

"Absolutely fantastic! I booked Rufus Return for a charity event where the age range was from 4 to 80 years young! A lot of of those attending had never been to a Ceilidh and they are now raving about it and asking when the next one is! Nigel and the band paced everything well to the crowd and I can’t recommend them highly enough! Already looking for dates for next year and will definitely book Rufus Return! Thank you guys so much for a great night! "

"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. "

"The Maida Vales pulled out all the stops to help us rock the night away. From the kids to the grandparents, they had a tune for everyone. A must-have for any wedding!"

"Blag were really exactly what we were looking for! I don't live in London so I was nervous about choosing a band I hadn't heard play, but they sounded great online, and I spoke to Michael over the phone and on email about the type of party we were having and the music we wanted. Most importantly they played brilliantly on the night, everyone was up out their seats for a good knees up and we were guided round the dances that we didn't know. All the guests were happy. Would definitely recommend!"

"I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Ixeis Afixeis perform, and I can confidently say they deliver an outstanding show every time. The band’s professional approach and incredible musicianship, especially the bouzouki solos, leave a lasting impression. Whether it’s a wedding, festival, or private event, Ixeis Afixeis creates a festive and authentic Greek atmosphere. Based in Thessaloniki, they are a must-see for anyone wanting to experience the heart of Greek music!"
