"Meant to write sooner, but things have been hectic since the wedding and honeymoon. I just want to say a big thank you for the band's performance at my wedding reception. You went down an absolute storm, and people are still telling me how much they enjoyed it. Thank you especially for your flexibility in staying on for an hour, Kind Regards, Nicola"

"Harmie brought his full Cockney repertoire to the cavernous Cavalier pub in Whetstone and he had to fight his way through the crowds to get to the stage, arriving with his guitar, a collection of harmonicas, his cloth cap and braces and a mug of jellied eels. This was a real Cockney knees-up evening for the regulars, who included in their midst the Pearly King and Queen of Purley, or was it Finchley? Kicking off with Chas 'n Dave's raucous toe-tapper, "The Sideboard Song" the cheeky chappie tackled a lovely bunch of Cockney ditties, including Tommy Steele's showstopper, "What A Mouth"; an entertaining version of the old Billy Cotton (now there was a good old Cockney) number, "The Marrow Song"; and the singalong tunes, "Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner", "Show Me The Way To Go Home", "Meet Me At The Church" and the tasty, "Hot Meat Pie, Saveloys And Trotters". Highlights of the first set were Harmie's harmonica-led rendition of the Shadows' classic instrumental, "Apache" and, following a request from a punter, a countryfied version of "What Made Milwaukee Famous", which was part made famous by Rod Stewart. The lovable Cockney character was in humorous form too calling for 'security' when a man approached him for a request, and in telling the audience: "As this is Whetstone I thought we ought to do a song about infidelity," before launching into Gene Pitney's, "24 Hours From Tulsa", complete with harp solo. The second set brought more Cockney treats with Bernard Cribbins' "Right Said Fred"; Mike Jerome's clever, "Sling Yer Hook" and Chas and Dave's weepie, "Ain't No Pleasing You". The audience were loving Harmie by now, but soon he had to battle his way through the masses again to get to the Harmie-mobile and a trip home to the Old Kent Road."

"I love these guys! Such love in their music and the way they transmit one of the most fundamental human joys: to be together, strangers and friends alike, held by rhythm and sound and dancing. Go see them if you can! xx"

"Lucinda sang at my dad's funeral last week. She was a pleasure to deal with, very responsive and very facilitating. I'd recommend Lucinda to anyone considering someone for a church service or celebration."

"Jack was absolutely fantastic. His communication was excellent from the start. He kept in contact with me discussing my needs and learning new songs I asked for. When he came to the party he was so friendly and professional. His voice and guitar skills are superb we loved every song and he completely made our evening. He played for over an hour longer than agreed and I could see that was due to his love of music and performing he was in his element. We will definitely book Jack again for any future events and I would recommend him to anyone. Massive thank you Jack."

"Ant was recommended to us by a friend to play at our wedding and he was brilliant! He played instrumental covers as our guests arrived at the church, the bride was nearly half an hour late but Ant was more than happy to carry on playing and created a lovely atmosphere in the church which everyone really enjoyed. We asked Ant if he would be able to play and sing our favourite song whilst we signed the register in the church. He learned this specially and it was perfect, and one of the many highlights of our day. Ant also performed some covers as our guests arrived at the reception and everyone loved the live music. Ant was professional, passionate, very friendly and it was a pleasure to have him perform on our special day. We couldn’t recommend Ant enough. Thank you so much. "

"We hired Luis for a private party at Quinta do Lago and we loved him. A great singer with a vast repertoire that pleases everyone at the party. We ask him to play a few songs that we love and he played them all perfectly. We will definitely book him again."

"Ben came to our home to play for our guests at our party (approx 70 people). What a fantastic night! We pre-booked Ben to do 3 sets between 20.00hrs and 23.oo hrs, in the end everyone wanted more so Ben agreed to stay for another hour. Ben built his song sets around requests we had made via email and played a bit of something for everyone. Ben was very professional throughout, very competitively priced (we looked at many), arriving well on time, listening to our requirements and most important delivered some superb acoustic music. If you are looking for some bouncy, current live music for any event I would highly recommend Ben based on our experience. Thanks again Ben, our guests are still talking about you. :)"

"I recently booked Owen at very short notice to play at our home for my Husbands 50th Birthday. We arranged it all by email as it was a surprise for my Husband, Owen was very obliging, on time and professional, he was the 'icing on the cake' and all our guests commented on his performance. Thank you Owen! "
