"Convergence has been our band of choice for SpeakEasy Nite for several years. They take you back to the 20s, very danceable, listenable. The Flappers love it!"

"We booked Danny Rodeck to sing at our engagement party in July for 60 people. We were extremely happy with his organisation, communication, ability to follow our wishes and his wonderful performance on the night. Shortly after booking Danny he reached out to arrange a video call where he asked about our preferred timings, what kind of vibe we wanted and generally what we wanted from him for the evening. He also offered to learn a new song especially for us which was a really lovely gesture. He was super organised and we felt very happy with what he would provide. He sent over his repertoire of songs and we narrowed down our song preference for him. Danny was on time and reliable, a good communicator, a great performer and focused around what we wanted for the evening. Many of our guests commented on how good he was and how much they enjoyed the evening. We wouldn't hesitate for a second to book him again. Thank you for such amazing entertainment Danny! "

". Yesterday I got fed both spiritually and materially at Soweto’s Just Badela eatery when I attended a heart-warming joint jazz presentation by Just Badela & ‘EXPRESSIONS by Siphiwe Mhlambi’ – the latter is an event series that capture the soul of jazz through Mhlambi’s evocative photography that blends rhythm and emotion into his every frame. I can right now without any whiff of doubt declare that the event lived up to its brand promise of delivering “an unforgettable afternoon with the legendary Herbie Tsoaeli, the master of double bass and a pioneer in South African jazz” to a full-house sit-down audience. (Indeed I) experience(d) the soul-stirring melodies and rich rhythms that have captured audiences around the world.” Nico Phooko was drawing inspiration from the music and the soul-caressing ambience by live painting a piece that will become a new addition to his “Notes & Strokes” series. The MC was Ngwako Malakalaka from Kofifi FM. We had the opportunity to witness Mhlambi autographing copies of our recently published book, “Rhythms in Black & White: A Virtual Journey Through the World of Jazz”, to happy revellers. Another illustrious author/publisher, Sam Mathe, manned a table selling his book too, “From Kippie to Kippies And Beyond”, on whose pages live our musicians. We do appreciate the platform that Just Badela provides to independent publishing and art . "

"Chris Cadillac was our favorite from the start. He is an excellent musician who contributed enormously to the magic of our wedding, from the secular ceremony to the evening, including the cocktail and dinner where our guests danced well. He and the members of his group were incredibly kind and talented. We have no words to express how happy we were to have been able to dance so much, and to such good music, for our wedding! THANKS... !"

"Groove 'N Motion performed for our wedding in August 2021 and they were incredible at every level. GnM had excellent communication, were affordable, were accommodating and understanding, played an amazing and wide-ranging setlist, and rocked with high energy all through the night. Our wedding guests, young and old, have said over and over how much they loved our dance floor and that GnM was the best wedding band they had ever seen. We agree and could not recommend them any higher. Scott, our main point of contact, was very communicative and accommodating, including when we had to reschedule our wedding because of covid. He also had a great ability to give advice and perspective from GnM's significant experience playing weddings and large events while still taking our more specific requests to heart. For example, GnM offered a range of modern and classic songs on a designated setlist but also enabled us to make many of our own requests of favorite songs not on their list. They also allowed us to send family to see them rehearse before we booked them because we at the time lived out of state. And they traveled from Denver to our venue in Salida, CO and were great sports about making the trip. It is important to make clear that GnM is not just a random group of musicians who are occasionally pulled together to play a wedding (like we discovered many commercial wedding bands can be). Groove 'N Motion is a true band with great continuity and a range of talents. It's clear they love playing music together and have fantastic rapport. GnM was amazing during our reception. They have their own sound mixer, who helpfully made sure the music never got too loud for our older guests. They played approx 3.5-4 hours for our reception and kept everyone out on the dance floor. The only problem we had was that so many guests wanted to stay for the music that everyone waited to take the last shuttle home! GnM was also excellent for our ceremony songs (a couple songs for guest seating, processional, and recessional) and provided a nice jazz quartet during our cocktail hour. These guys are talented and have range. Being able to rock a country song that is a family favorite and then soon after play some true funk hits is not something just any band could pull off. GnM did it without any problem. If you want to make sure that you have a wedding band that can perform songs in your setlist for all your guests to enjoy, look no further than Groove 'N Motion. You will not be disappointed. "

"Richard is an amazing artist, singer and songwriter, with a huge list of songs cover and plenty of original. He's shows are a show that would make you long for Nashville folk/county music. Amazing work from this man.!"

"Hi Jonathan, I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and the band for Saturday night. The band played brilliantly and they created such a lovely atmosphere for the drinks reception. Please could you pass on a massive thank you to everyone? I also have a card for them which I meant to hand over on Saturday but didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to them. Shall I send this to you to pass on? The wedding went really well and our clients couldn’t have been happier. It was an absolute pleasure working with you and we look forward to doing so again soon"
