Review Centre: Dance Bands

"Wow, just wow. We hired the Brogues for our daughters wedding, who wasn't convinced a Ceilidh was for them. To start with Grace is a fabulous communicator, nothing was too much trouble and lots of questions were asked to make sure the evening went down with a bang. The Ceilidh was just fabulous, EVERYONE got involved, and the instructions from the band was great. They had patience of Saints, and even threw some humour in too. Our daughter and son in law LOVED it ( a bit of kudos for me) and said 'it made' the wedding evening. So, if you're considering booking them we really cannot recommend The Brogues enough. Competitively priced and simply the best entertainment we've had for years. You won't regret it!"

"We hired Good Co for our 1920's themed holiday party. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, especially when we asked if they would follow our leadership around the office as they gathered people for the party. Awesome talent, great at judging sound vs space. Our office is pretty echo-y and loud, but they found the right balance immediately. Definitely keeping on the books for next time!"

"We booked JBMAC for our Wedding in May this year and wow we have nothing but amazing things to say about them and every aspect of their performance!! In the build up to the wedding JMBAC was incredibly helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. After a couple of exchanges of messages, Nora recommended that we saw them at one of their residency evenings in Henley which was so exciting. Nora made such an effort to make us feel welcome and get to know us personally! JBMAC were so supportive, offering us great advice on what the best flow for the day would be, really demonstrating their knowledge and expertise. On the day we didn't have to worry about any logistics and they were set up and ready to go as soon as we got to the reception venue. JBMAC started off with their Ibiza Chills set for the drinks reception, providing the perfect background music to a glass of fizz and some canapes. The evening followed with their 4-piece band, setting off the dance floor with a bang after the first dance! The performance was incredible and they had everyone on the dancefloor for every second possible. They brought such great energy and it was so nice to have them getting involved with the guests. All of our guests have been so complimentary of JBMAC, saying what a fantastic vibe they brought to the night, how incredible the music was, and how much fun they had. Moreover, our photographer was in absolute awe of their tunes and proceeded to stay for the rest of their set! It was so fantastic seeing how our vendors worked together with such professionalism to promote each others businesses, all whilst bringing together such a beautiful day for us. If you're planning an event then we cannot recommend them enough, and we are already looking for any excuse to have another party so we can book them again!! If you still don't believe us - We highly recommend checking out their socials. You can really get a flavour for their incredible sound, vibe, and party atmosphere!"

"I just want to say a BIG thank you for last Saturday. Dunstable Live was a huge success and that was in part due to your band. We had over 1000 people attend which as the weather was so horrendous was a surprise. But everyone left with smiles on their faces."

"We went to Crete to celebrate our dear grandmother's 70th birthday in a beautiful open-air hotel. That evening the Marmitas band performed and what really amazed us was how they tailored their repertoire to include our grandmother's favourite songs, making the evening even more personal and memorable. Their warm, uplifting energy created a wonderful atmosphere and left such an impression that they'll always have a special place in our hearts!"

"Relative Cool were Incredible! Hired them for our wedding and everyone loved them. They offer a great song selection and even learnt a few songs we asked them to perform. Definitely recommend if you want a live band for a great party! They kept everyone dancing through-out the entire evening. Would hire again! "

"I couldn't be happier that Komokeno performed at our wedding! Their music was filled with heart, soul, and an unmistakable passion for jazz. My husband is a huge jazz enthusiast, and having Komokeno there was an unforgettable gift—it truly made the day even more special. The quality of their performance was outstanding and became one of the absolute highlights of our celebration. If you're considering live jazz for your event, do not hesitate to book Komokeno—you will not regret it!!!!"

"Sue and I cannot praise you and your wonderful swing band enough. We have organised many prestigious balls and dinner dances over the years and we have hired some of the finest dance bands in the country but we can truly say that Mr Swing’s Dance Orchestra is the best we have ever used. It was absolutely magical, thank you. We are so so overwhelmed with gratitude to you for the evening because you absolutely made it. We would recommend you to anyone in the World; we already have a few people in mind. Comments from the guests included “The best band I have ever heard” and “What a fabulous band!” Not only were the musicians excellent but more importantly they all enjoyed playing which made for a wonderfully warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was a pleasure meeting you Matthew and a privilege to listen to your wonderful band which helped to make the evening very special indeed."

"David Reed - Belleville Intelligencer Tony Vani has been making music in the Belleville area for decades. Folks in the music community know him as a versatile performer, cranking out blues and classic rock with the Stir, gospel blues with Tony Vani and the Holy Blues Band, solo performances and some work with slide guitarist Kenny Pauze. Tony is a respected singer and guitarist, but it is his harmonica playing that really grabs me by the throat. The title track on Tony's, Her Blues CD, is a mournful confession with harmonica lines that seem to emanate from the depths of a troubled soul. The best description for his playing is “authentic.” I hear flashes of Charlie Musselwhite and the immortal Little Walter on a few tracks. (I’m also a sucker for a little tremolo on the guitar.) Other highlights include Die Trying, Still Got Her Soul, Price of Love, Catch You When You Fall and the hopeful Sun Will Rise. Tony Vani has got something truly special with his harmonica sound and he has lovingly crafted this collection over seven long years. You should check out this record."
