"Wow, we can’t recommend Good Time highly enough! Their incredible repertoire, style, and sound truly made our wedding SO much fun and SO memorable. We heard so many complements from our guests as well, no one wanted to leave the dance floor! Disco, R&B, and Jazz were exactly what we were looking for for our matrimonio in Lazio, Italy. Their vocals, sax, bass, and drums were all spot on. The band are responsive and – lucky for us – very easy to communicate with in both English and Italian. We are especially grateful for their patience and understanding working with us throughout the pandemic years. Thank you and bravo!!"

"Candy & The Sound were fabulous at our Christmas Party! I know Candy was a little under the weather, but she was fantastic! Would recommend them for any event! I think next time we need to learn the words to Mustang Sally! "

"Tunehead played at The Upton Jazz Festival 2021 which was delayed from our usual June date until October because of Covid. They played on our outdoor covered stage at the Swan Hotel. The band are ‘as it says on the tin’ - funky, modern and a tight group of players. On a dreadful day they played a great set and held the audience. They’re also a pleasure to deal with. We’ve invited them back for 2022."

"The band did a brilliant job at my wedding. They really got the crowd going and played a great selection of songs. In amongst all the stress of organising a wedding, the band was one thing I didn't need to worry about. Ben was really responsive to my questions and to the last minute requests that I had. Thanks so much. "

"Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute : Un nouvel orchestre sur la Côte d’Azur Alors que les évènements culturels sur la Côte d’Azur comme partout en France rencontrent cet été 2020 de grandes difficultés à se maintenir en raison des contraintes sanitaires, un nouvel orchestre, dédié aux musiques des films de Quentin Tarantino vient de voir le jour : Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute. Cet orchestre composé de 10 membres, instrumentistes et chanteurs, proposent un répertoire basé sur les chansons et instrumentaux utilisés par Quentin Tarantino dans ses films. On a parfois reproché à Tarantino de ne pas commander de musique originale. Dans ses six premiers films il a préféré utiliser des pépites rock, country, rockabilly, surf music, funk, (« Reservoir Dogs », « Pulp Fiction », « Jackie Brown », « Death Proof ») mais aussi quelques extraits et effets sonores tirés de westerns, de films de série Z ou séries des années 50/60, de films de kung-fu (« Kill Bill »). A partir de 2009 et son film « Inglorious Basterds », il commence à utiliser des musiques écrites pour d’autres films, notamment de Morricone et Luis Bacalov. Il puise ainsi dans le répertoire des westerns-spaghetti. Dès lors, ses prochains films vont contenir à la fois des musiques et des chansons originales, mais aussi toujours des titres plus « vintage », choisis dans sa propre discothèque de vinyles. En dehors de ses propres réalisations, Tarantino a scénarisé et parfois aussi joué dans plusieurs autres films. Parmi eux, l’excellent « Une Nuit en Enfer » (From Dusk till Dawn) de Robert Rodriguez, dont la bande son est particulièrement rock. Tous les bikers de chaque Bandidos MC aimeraient avoir un Titti Twister pour y débuter leur soirée. C’est justement grâce à un orchestre tel que Call me Winston qu’on peut imaginer des événements, soirée thématique autour du cinéma et de l’univers décalé qu’on rencontre dans les films de Tarantino. La composition de Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute, avec section rythmique complète et section cuivres lui permet de couvrir une grande partie du répertoire utilisé dans les films de Tarantino. Un couple de chanteur/chanteuse permet encore d’élargir les possibilités. Outre le fait qu’ils sont tous d’excellents musiciens, les membres de Call me Winston développent un coté visuel « 100% Tarantinesque », avec un look inspiré des bandits de « Reservoir Dogs » ou des tueurs de « Pulp Fiction ». Construit comme un parcours musical à travers les films et la diversité de ses styles, le spectacle présenté par Call me Winston plaira à un large public. En outre, avec quelques clins d’œil çà et là, les fans de Tarantino se régaleront. "

"Ant was absolutely fantastic. Aside from being a very talented singer and musician; he is incredibly, polite, versatile and overall lovely. He had fantastic communication, we spoke on video before the wedding, emailed and whatsapp’d, he’s very responsive. We discussed song choices and he was very receptive to the specific songs we wanted, including learning to play some new ones. Ant took the initiative on our wedding day, setting himself up and started, before we arrived, for our guests. He was able to be flexible when our timings changed on the day (we had an outside wedding in the UK… It rained when we were supposed to be walking down the aisle still went great, don’t worry). He ran across the field and played without his equipment for the ceremony when we had a break in the rain. We would defiantly recommend him and 100% hire him again for any other musician needs we may have!"
