"Emi and her band came to Chaplins Restaurant in Haworth, a month or so ago now for a party. Me, the other staff and the manager were really shocked at how great they all were. The guests at the party were amazed and are still talking about that night when they come back to Chaplins. We will definitely be hiring them again to sing for us!"

"Ian P. Woodbury I’ve been serenaded AND stirred by THE ROCKITS twice in 2022, since being introduced to them only recently. I made a pledge to myself, in the mirror, to go and listen to them whenever I need to satisfy my audio addiction for exceptionally performed, hard driving Rock n Roll. As a guy who has been playing guitar, and singing for an audience since 1956, I continuously need to have my appetite satiated with Good Ol’ Rock n Roll. The Rockits satisfy my need quite satisfactorily! Thank You Very Much! The Rockits share the top shelf of the D.C. Area bands, with only a few other bands up there with them. There is no better party band than The Rockits. The band is well-rehearsed, instrumentally and vocally tight, and they really know how to keep the good vibes topped off at FULL, without losing the personal touch with their audience. Everyone in the band is a seasoned musician, sings very well, and harmonizes on key. But…the vocal standout is Robin Brown, the female vocalist. Robin should be known by everyone in the D. C. Metro Area, who enjoys hip Shakin’ Rock n Roll. ROBIN IS THAT GOOD! She commands the stage, like a Queen, but she is never domineering. She does not try to draw undue attention to herself, but knows her position on stage, as an integral part of a smoothly wild ensemble. She shares the M.C. duties with the band’s leader, Peter Grattan, who is a fine drummer, but in The Rockits, he is a triple threat on keyboards, guitar, and vocals. All the instrumentalists are in the top echelon of local talent, each attuned to his role in the overall mix, and they all shine in their spots. If you want a really satisfying Good Time of listening and dancing, there is no better band, who can lift you higher, than The Rockits. Going out to get your Rock n Roll fix with The Rockets is an evening well-spent. "

Thank you so very much Ian. We strive to give the best performance possible and it is people like you that make it all worth while. Having been 'Rockits' for over ten years, we appreciate every gig we get, every booking is unique, and having played a 3 year 6 nite a week residency at one of New Zealand's top hotels in my twenties, I know how important it is to 'entertain.' My experience as TVNZ's Head Of Entertainment Production for three years also has given me the experience needed to become an all round entertainer. Years of touring the world on cruise ships, recording four records for CBS and years in London have helped, so that our repertoire of 1000 songs spans sixty years and encompasses the best of the Rock 'n Roll era. Your heart felt review means so much! -Peter G Grattan (band leader)

"The Gleams do not disappoint. Michele and his group were everything we could have hoped for and made our special day all the more special. Just incredibly talented people with tremendous skills and even better attitudes. They came all the way to Positano from Milan to put on an unbelievable performance. If you are looking for live music for your italian wedding or event, the Gleams are the best of the best!!! Bravo!"

"We hired John Paul Band for our company celebration and they absolutely nailed it. The energy, the song selection, and the interaction with the audience were top level. They started with classy background music and later turned the night into a real party. The dance floor was full for hours. Professional, reliable, and easy to work with — exactly what you want for an important corporate event."

"Michele is wonderful to work with. He is an amazing musician and singer, as well as DJ. He executed all of the music on our wedding day. For our ceremony, we had songs that we wanted played at specific moments from our playlist, and he nailed the timing. He and his band played beautiful music during cocktail hour and kept the energy up. He then DJed the music from our playlists of favorite songs for our reception and afterparty disco. Our friends were having so much fun and didn't want the evening to end, they even chanted "one more song" at the end of the night and Michele was kind enough to stay and oblige. We really enjoyed working with him and his band! "

"The best choice!!! David and his band (The Vintage Band) are amazing. Not a single guest stayed seated without dancing. There were lots of musicians at the party and they all congratulated us on our choice of band. They even took part in a surprise my friends had organised for us. They were absolutely brilliant."
