"The perfect group for a perfect day, we chose the acoustic duo for our drinks reception and it was so beautiful and perfect for the occasion, these guys were a pleasure to talk to and couldn’t do enough for us, shortly after the meal and speeches our evening guests started to arrive and the full band were ready to entertain, they allowed us to cherry pick some of our favourite songs as well as our first dance, they really seem to enjoy what they do and encouraged everyone to dance, these guys were great fun and we are so glad they were free on our date, 5 stars guys!"

"We had The Cheers play at our wedding in April and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The band were great fun, very talented and got everyone dancing all night. They listened carefully to our song preferences and created a setlist that was perfect for our wedding style. In addition, they played our first song live which made our first dance extra special. They were professional, helpful and friendly, both in the run up to the wedding and on the day itself. The communication was clear throughout and they even arrived slightly earlier so that they weren't setting up during the wedding breakfast. We had been slightly unsure about whether to hire a band as the cost is much higher than a DJ, but we have absolutely no regrets at all, and we would most definitely recommend The Cheers to others."

"One of the hidden treasures of London is the range of talent that exists on the folk and acoustic scene that rarely get the acclaim they deserve. Three London based bands that excel at performing Eastern European/Balkan Music are Szapora, Mukka and Beskydy, each of whom are worth looking out for. Nine strong Beskydy perform songs and tunes from across Eastern Europe and beyond, in fact looking at the sources on their cd listing is almost like a tour around that part of Europe, from Macedonia to Hungary via Galicia and Bulgaria and taking a detour through Slovakia. The bands name itself comes from the range of mountains that run through the centre of former Czechoslovakia which according to the band has heavily influenced their musical choices whilst they turn their hand to music from a range of sources (excellantly). The first track is a Macedonian song, Jovano, Jovanke (click here to hear the song) and the range of Joanna Fosters vocal skills are further displayed in the three Slovakian songs that make up track 4, from the slow Janosik to the more up beat cheery Anicka Dusicka and A Ja Taka Dzivocka although Foster and the band manage to intertwine the tunes with sufficient skill so the songs merge as one. Again Track 9 is a duet with Accordian player, Peter Murphy, joining Foster on the Macedonian song Iz Dolu, along with some damned fine fiddling. The range of Beskydys musical skills are illustrated well by the instrumental tracks ranging from the delightful Slovakian Waltzes (Track 5) to the slightly more manic Tropanka from Bulgaria (track 10) and onto the ordered upbeat and furious synthesis between sax, fiddle and accordian that is Tantz, Tantz Yiddelekh (a wonderful Galician Jewish tune), yet again garunteed to result in limb movement, a delightful fusion of fiddles and saxaphone, furiously creating a wonderful atmosphere one that demands a physical response. One very minor complaint is the sleeve of the CD, it would be nice (or do I just lead a very shallow empty life) to have some information/lyrics or even translations of the songs, something about the origins of the tracks. That said its more than possible for bands with large bank accounts to produce nice extensive sleeves but not so easy for bands whose talents lie in their music rather than some slick marketing agencies. It would be impossible to identify one part of this cd that could be said to stand out more than the rest. The band have produced an album that is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish - the question that comes to the fore when listening to this is when is the follow up going to be available? "

"We hired DJ Daddy Mack for our elementary school Halloween dance and couldn't have been happier with the choice. The DJ he supplied, DJ Iron Giant, was great. His song choices were spot on for the crowd and he kept everyone engaged and having a wonderful time. Price was also totally fair. Would definitely recommend and our school is looking forward to having them back for our next school dance. ★★★★★"

"Colleen & The Bleeding Hearts are always a hit. Their setlist is full of songs people know and love, and they connect with the audience in a way that makes everyone feel part of the show. We’ve had them playing here regularly for over 10 years."

"A perfect event thanks to them! Music&Soul made us dance, sing, and have fun. Sarah has a voice that goes straight to the heart, Mirko is a master on the piano and an incredibly engaging DJ. Mauro on the sax was a wonderful surprise—he created a unique atmosphere among the tables. They are true professionals. "

"Fortissimo band is a music group that will please every listener. The repertoire with its variety will impress everyone, including lovers of world music, funky or pop, but also jazz and Latin music. The members of our group are experienced musicians who are a great choice for every format of musical entertainment; from concerts, corporate events, team buildings, festivals, and other celebrations, to party events of any kind."
