"The Hornbeams were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish - polite, efficient and professional. Many of our guests commented on how great they were and what a beautiful voice Lucy has. All in all, I had no desire or budget for live music but we are so happy that we discovered and booked them, they made our drinks reception complete! Emma & Kieran, Wedding, Crickhowell Thank you again for such a wonderful set yesterday! The music really made our ceremony and so many people have commented on how lovely your set was! "

"Außergewöhnliche musikalische Qualität und starke Bühnenpräsenz Die Zusammenarbeit von Mykola Honcharenko und Altina Destani überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Hier treffen zwei Künstler aufeinander, die nicht nur technisch auf sehr hohem Niveau arbeiten, sondern auch ein feines Gespür für Atmosphäre und Publikum mitbringen. Honcharenko beeindruckt durch seine Vielseitigkeit und musikalische Bandbreite. Seine Arrangements wirken durchdacht, ohne überladen zu sein, und schaffen eine solide Grundlage für die gemeinsamen Auftritte. Dabei gelingt es ihm, unterschiedliche Stilrichtungen – von klassischer Musik bis hin zu modernen Einflüssen – stimmig zu verbinden. Altina Destani ergänzt dieses Fundament mit einer ausdrucksstarken, klar geführten Stimme. Ihre Interpretation klassischer Arien ist ebenso überzeugend wie ihre Ausflüge in andere Genres. Besonders hervorzuheben ist ihre Fähigkeit, Emotionen präzise zu transportieren, ohne dabei an technischer Kontrolle zu verlieren. Im Zusammenspiel entsteht eine Dynamik, die beim Publikum unmittelbar ankommt. Die Auftritte wirken authentisch, konzentriert und gleichzeitig lebendig. Man merkt, dass hier nicht einfach ein Programm abgespult wird, sondern echte musikalische Interaktion stattfindet. Darüber hinaus ist auch der kulturelle Kontext ihrer Zusammenarbeit bemerkenswert. Unterschiedliche musikalische Hintergründe werden nicht nur nebeneinandergestellt, sondern sinnvoll miteinander verknüpft. Das verleiht dem Gesamtprojekt eine zusätzliche inhaltliche Tiefe. Unterm Strich handelt es sich um ein künstlerisch sehr stimmiges Gesamtbild mit klarer Handschrift und hoher Qualität. ----------------------------------------- Outstanding musical quality and compelling stage presence The collaboration between Mykola Honcharenko and Altina Destani stands out as consistently impressive. Both artists demonstrate not only a high level of technical skill but also a strong sense of musical expression and audience engagement. Honcharenko brings notable versatility to the performance. His arrangements are well-structured and balanced, allowing different musical styles to blend naturally without feeling forced. He creates a solid and flexible foundation that supports the overall artistic direction. Altina Destani complements this with a powerful and well-controlled voice. Her interpretations of classical pieces are precise and expressive, while her ability to move across genres adds further depth. What is particularly striking is her capacity to convey emotion clearly without compromising technical quality. Together, they create a dynamic and authentic performance. There is a clear sense of interaction rather than routine execution, which translates into a strong connection with the audience. The performances feel focused, yet vibrant and engaging. Another notable aspect is the cultural dimension of their collaboration. Different musical traditions are not merely juxtaposed but thoughtfully integrated, resulting in a coherent and meaningful artistic outcome. Overall, this is a highly convincing and well-rounded artistic partnership with a distinct identity and consistently high quality."

"My party was totally blown away by Sandra's amazing electric violin playing - has to be experienced to be believed. Altogether a pleasant, friendly and professional experience in the way that Sandra, accompanied by Paul on guitar, quietly set up and then proceeded to make sweet music for us all, perfectly suited to the occasion."

"You were perfect. So many of our guests were asking for your name and where we found you. The first half was so chilled and you read the venue so well, then the second half it seemed as though the dance floor was never empty. Thank you once again so much. "

"We're so glad we found Spark Up Band to play at our tipi wedding - it was an incredible way to end to the day. The dance floor was filled from start to finish with guests of all ages! They completely got the vibe of the day and brought a fantastic atmosphere to the evening. We can't thank them enough for coming to the rescue with a last minute glitch - we were in very safe hands! We hope to have another occasion to book them again!"

"I just wanted to say thanks again for an amazing night! From start to finish, you had everyone entertained and are amazing at what you do. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all! You seem like a genuinely nice guy too - I've had so many people saying today how much they liked you (even the little chats in between your sets!). Hopefully we can have you there again in the coming months x "

"So Saxxy - I need a cigarette! Michael was absolutely fabulous at our outdoor family celebration for my father, Big Daddy, a sax player from the ’50s. Highly professional, talented, and charismatic, he played nostalgic and present tunes perfectly. His excellent communication and warm demeanor encouraged guests to dance, request songs, and immerse themselves in the jazz experience. Big Daddy is smiling… "

"I've been collecting material and working on my solo record for about two years collaborating and recording with Sandra & Paul. They are very creative musicians and working with them is a real pleasure. They have the ability of developing creative arrangements that enhance and complement the song writing. The record will be finished soon and I can't wait."
