Review Centre: Musical Acts

"In perfect harmony Private Function on Wednesday 23 February 2022 I like to think I know a thing or two about music (don't we all!), or perhaps I'm being a bit smug, having been a music journalist most of my working life. So when my friend, Tim, asked my opinion about a band to have for his business functions, I had no hesitation in recommending MAYHEM. I have only seen the band perform once, at a club in Hertfordshire, but, even with my so-called wide experience, I was taken aback to hear such superior use of harmony and dynamics, unusual in these settings to say the least. Of course, the subtleties of the music went completely unnoticed by the clientele, even though the band was very well-received, on the basis of it's well-chosen set of popular songs with a strong beat. The two voices are excellent in their own right, but taken together, the reward is even greater, a perfect blend of harmony, made all the more interesting by the clever use of the arrangements, which make the backing tracks - self-made by the band - seem to be bent to the will of the singers, not the other way round as is usual with someone singing to a track. Not only the vocals, but the supreme skill of a virtuoso keyboard player - when I later learned about his history, it all made perfect sense to me, someone who was responsible for a whole musical genre was not about to lose his touch. As for Tim, after hearing only the first few songs, he made up his mind to offer the band a residency. And so he should....... Jack Diamond, Thursday 24 February 2022 "

"Vito was absolutely incredible not only our wedding day, but the lead up to the day with his communication, tips and recommendations. The ceremony sound set-up was amazing and during the reception he was able to read the room and play amazing music all night to get our guests on the dance floor. We had so many guests comment on how great he was. Thank you Vito for an amazing day!"

"Brilliant time singing along with Harmonica Lewinsky and his enormous repertoire? I had a German friend with me who had never experienced the delights of a good old Cockney Sing-along. She loved it and joined in with the rest of us singing. (Once I’d Googled the Lyrics!) Great Fun! Looking forward to his next gig ?"

"Wow! We secured Stevie to pipe at our wedding just a couple of weeks before the big day after seeing him at our venues’s open day and we are so glad we did. He made all the difference to our wedding day. Stevie was a big hit with our guests and even took requests. He really added to the atmosphere and enjoyment. If you’re thinking of having a bagpiper, we couldn’t recommend Stevie enough! Thank you, Stevie Bagpipes. Andrew & Lilli."

"As the groom, I got to choose the band. I had heard Lisa and The E-lusion at my now-wife's sorority formal, and knew what my first choice would be. Besides being a genuinely talented band, The-Elusion are accommodating. With their extensive playlist of both traditional wedding reception songs and more recent pop, we were able to say which songs we did not want them to play, while Lisa does a great job of playing whatever the audience is grooving. Also, they were willing to learn entirely new songs for our first dance, the father-daughter dance, and mother-son dance. We received tons of complements about the band from our guests. And at a great price, too. Review by Luke C. FROM LOXLEY, AL "

"The Fifty 4 performed two sets at our wedding on 07/09/24 and they were absolutely amazing! Several of our guests said they were the best band they’d seen at a wedding and we would agree! It was the best part of the day for us and we’re so glad that we booked them!! Thank you so much for making our special day that much better 🤩"

"Their duet during our ceremony was beyond words. It felt like Venice itself was singing through their instruments. Graceful, elegant, and unforgettable — thank you, Rainbow Harp and Violin!"
