"Such a variety of music. The most beautiful version of Pachelbel's Canon (specially requested) to walk down the aisle to, a song so close to my heart. And then Disney classics. Outstanding musicians. I cannot recommend enough. You made our day even more magical. Thank you "

"Cellar Magnaval became encore more French this evening. The 20's ambience came to Woking with the voice of sexy Muriele and huge talent of Dominic. All our guests absolutely loved it. Can't wait for the next. A lovely treat post-Valentine. Merci"

"Hi Jonathan, I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and the band for Saturday night. The band played brilliantly and they created such a lovely atmosphere for the drinks reception. Please could you pass on a massive thank you to everyone? I also have a card for them which I meant to hand over on Saturday but didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to them. Shall I send this to you to pass on? The wedding went really well and our clients couldn’t have been happier. It was an absolute pleasure working with you and we look forward to doing so again soon"

"We really wanted a folk style band with a saxophone player which believe it or not seems to be harder to find than you would think and then we found you guys and we are so thankful that we chose you! Your performance from start to finish and you were all so lovely to have at our wedding. Huge thanks to Billy for also singing our first dance – it’s a moment we will cherish"

"What a fantastic singer beautiful voice and amazing personality. Ruby lit up our event and had everyone singing along. We as a Community group would recommend her. Our event was to celebrate Harlow's 70th Birthday and she took the celebration to a higher league. Love by all our guests."

"It was a pleasure to have Brian and Tim play at our office open event. They set the mood just right and it helped the evening to be the huge success that it was. It was a really easy booking process and our minds were put at rest with their communication and they are very good value. I would strongly recommend the Duo and wouldn’t hesitate to re-book for future events. "

"Before seeing this show I had heard many rumours about Harmonica Lewinsky, whose background was shrouded in mystery, although I believe he learned his harmonica skills in the Deep South in the deltas of Harrow on the Hill under the tutelage of Blind Les Battersby. But, it was a very different character to the one I expected who performed at the posh Victoria pub in Highgate! Mr Lewinsky, looking like a cross between a rabbi and one-half of Chas 'n Dave (I'm not sure which half) appeared in cloth cap and braces and presented a highly original selection of songs, some of which rarely see the light of day. There were no predictable “Brown Eyed Girls” or “Mustang Sally’s” here: instead - a veritable feast of the unexpected - as we witnessed one man, his guitar and his trusty harps. When was the last time you heard a pub act kick off his set with Chas 'n Dave's “The Sideboard Song” and follow it with the Theme to “Top Cat” and then offerings of cheery, chirpy Cockney ditties including “Waiting At The Church,” “Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner”, “Show Me The Way To Go Home” and Tommy Steele's “What A Mouth”? I’m guessing the answer to that question is ‘rarely’ (if ever) but the fun didn't stop there. Mr Harmonica Man is a really great entertainer and demonstrated, with great finesse, his harmonica technique on - wait for it - the Shadows' “Apache”! It was quite a feat playing the melody on the harp while strumming his guitar. ‘Harmy’, as he is known to his close friends (or 'Self-Harmy‘ to others) also tackled in the first half the theme to "The Flintstones"; Elvis Costello's catchy “Watching The Detectives” and the Cockney knees-up “I've Got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts”. Harmy was back in terrific Pearly King form for the second half starting with “Any Old Iron” followed by a touch of the Formbys with “Leaning On A Lamppost” after which he did a ‘Donegan’ with a riotous version of “My Old Man's A Dustman” complete with enthusiastic audience participation. Mr Lewinsky has a great sense of humour, which he constantly shares with the Victoria regulars. "Here's another Cockney classic sung by a Welsh man", quipped Harmy before diving into “Delilah.” Other gems included the theme tune to ‘Match Of The Day’ (played on two harmonicas); a very funny and risque interpretation of Mike Jerome's “Sling Yer Hook”; a great version of the Small Faces' mod anthem “Lazy Sunday”; and a yahoo rendition of the old country favourite “Riders In The Sky”. After many encores Mr Lewinsky packed away his cap and braces and headed off to the Deep South (of London) for some pie and mash. The Victoria would do well to snap up Harmy for some more gigs before he hop-foots it down the Strand for a residency at the Old Bull and Bush!"

Please pass our very best onto them and thank them for being in such good spirits and being the perfect entertainment for our reception – they set the tone for the day brilliantly and everyone LOVED walking up the road with them!"

"What a band! Laura has the most incredible voice and the band rocked our Peaky Blinders dinner dance just brilliantly. Everyone is talking about it still and I’m desperately trying to think of another event to book Trip For Biscuits! Couldn’t recommend them highly enough."

"Please send my thank you’s to the members of the band that came to perform on Sunday for the Tennis Wheelchair Masters tournament. They were a delight to work with and really lifted the atmosphere on finals day, we had lots of great feedback from everyone about them. I will definitely keep the band in mind for any future events I am involved in as they were brilliant! If anything comes up I will definitely let you know!"

"Ruby came to sing for us at our Vintage Charity Afternoon Tea Gala. We were so happy with her. Her voice was amazing and she had a great selection of songs. She had everyone dancing and created a wonderful atmosphere. She was also a very lovely lady. We would definitely use her again for our events. Thank you Ruby! "
