""As we got engaged in Ibiza we was after a Cafe Del Mar theme during the welcome drinks. He worked so hard and really gave our wedding the Ibiza chill out theme. During the wedding breakfast Dave played some more romantic tunes to set the scene. I have had none stop comments since the wedding about how fantastic he was and we would highly recommended him to everyone.""

"Eccentric Pony were amazing at our wedding! We loved them, and our guests loved them! They have this amazing ability to play incredibly well, and also be super interactive with the crowd and get everyone involved. I work as a full-time musician, so choosing the right band for our wedding was a big priority for me. It was great to feel like the evening entertainment was in safe hands and I could trust they would deliver, and they certainly did! Would 100% recommend!"

"A HUGE thank you to this talented jazz band for playing at our wedding at Villa di Ulignano in Tuscany. Raphael also learned three of my favourite piano pieces for the ceremony, which he played beautifully (coming from a pianist). Their jazz repertoire was then the perfect backdrop to our apertivo. We opted to add a saxophonist too, which we loved! Raphael was professional and easy to communicate with from our first enquiry, which immediately put us at ease. Highly recommend. "

"Becca Huggett came and performed at my event earlier in the year end it was a delight to listen to her perform and I felt as if the whole room was captivated for the entirety of her set which only the best performers can achieve! 😊 I'd welcome her back without hesitation and if you get the chance to see her do!

Such lovely guys too- they did a brilliant job, we've had so many comments on how great they were not only musically but performance and interaction with the guests. Truly grateful we chose Sonic Boom - would highly recommend! "

"Daniel Martinez was at The Queen’s Hall Edinburgh tonight performing his “20th Anniversary of Flamenco” concert to an enthusiastic audience who had filled the venue pretty much to capacity. Born and raised in Cordoba, Andalucia, this performer, composer and award winning guitarist started his professional flamenco studies at the age of 7. Daniel’s flamenco journey was to take him another 14 years of study at the Royal Conservatoire, and the opportunity to perform in some of the best tablaos (venues) in Cordoba. A move to Scotland has seen Danial Martinez make Edinburgh his new home, and tonight’s performance is part of an ongoing goal in life to not only keep true to the original ethos of Flamenco, but also to develop his own music and projects whilst bringing the living and breathing spirit of this art for to new audiences. This evening’s performance was split into two very distinct performances. The first half with Daniel Martinez performing solo on guitar and playing work from some of the great Flamenco guitarists who have influenced his own work over the years, including amongst others, Vicente Amigo, Paco de Lucía and Rafael Riqueni. Watching and listening to Daniel Martinez play guitar is in itself a lesson in his art, as his ability to perform the many challenging techniques that flamenco guitar requires to a very high standard is obvious, but this alone is never going to be enough, and something else has to happen for the spirit of this music to really work its magic, some connection that lets the performer become almost a conduit for the music, and Daniel Martinez has that elusive connection. The final performance of the first half “Baile por Rondena” (Dance for Rondena) was composed by Daniel Martinez and highlighted the interpretive performance skills of dancer Gabriela Pouso. It was perhaps here that we, the audience, got to get a little glimpse into the true spirit of flamenco as Daniel Martinez followed in the footsteps of Gabriela on guitar, along the way improvising his performance to match hers in rhythm, volume and expression with the two performers becoming almost one at times. This performance was a taster for a new project by Daniel Martinez and the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company, “Andalucia”, and the full show will be performed at The Usher Hall accompanied by a Chamber Orchestra on Wednesday 8 Feb 2023. With this new show, Daniel Martinez is expanding upon his award winning “Art of Believing” work. The second half of the performance was very traditional in format featuring flamenco singing, plus of course more interpretive music and dance from Gabriela Pouso and Daniel Martinez. This show, for me, was a learning experience, a chance to find out more about how singers, dancers and guitarists individually express their own “flamenco spirit”, but also join together to create a performance that is rhythmically mesmerising whilst at the same time telling a story in performance arts.
