Review Centre: Wedding Bands

"I run 2 events companies Cloud9EventsLDN & LadiesNightsUK… I recently hosted a Hen party at Revolutions Bar in Beaconsfield and upon speaking to the manager I was told that there will be a live band during the course of the evening…. I’m not going to ramble on, but these guys were INSANE. I have a music background and this was the best duo act I’ve seen for a while! I’d highly recommend!"

"Jorge was so amazing to work with. My husband and I set up several zoom meetings with him and he truly got to know us and what we were wanting for our wedding. Jorge learned all the songs we wanted, and he was absolutely incredible! He interacted with our guests and everyone loved him! Cannot recommend enough!"

"You might expect an album with edgy, teal-lit cover art and the title of The Isolation Blues, by the Mike Goudreau Band, to be either dark and brooding or a real barroom stomper, showcasing the loudest guitar you’ve heard since Jimi Hendrix’s. Instead, from the first notes, you’ll find it’s a peppy ensemble extravaganza with horns galore. More’s the better, too – the Winter Solstice is coming up, and we need an eye-opening blast of sunshine in the middle of it. Smooth, jazzy-influenced, and boasting crystal-clear vocals, it’s a must-play on New Year’s Eve. Born in 1965 in Newport, Vermont, into a musical family with an English mother and a French-Canadian father, Mike Goudreau picked up his first guitar at age 14 and hasn’t stopped playing since. His early influences included the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, and later, Albert King, Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Powder Blues and Downchild – to name a few. Such diverse interests help to explain why Mike is comfortable in so many musical genres, especially jazz and blues. Since 2007, Mike’s songs have been heard on hundreds of network TV shows and films, such as the TV movie The Happiest Season (Hulu), Dynasty (CBS), the Universal Pictures film Dark Waters, the Hollywood film The Banker, starring Samuel Jackson (2020), The Neighborhood (CBS), NCIS Los Angeles (CBS), and Chicago PD (NBC), among several others. Joining Mr. Goudreau (vocals, guitars, bass and hand claps) are Jean-Francois Begin (think Menachem Begin, not “begin”) on drums and percussion, Dany Roy on tenor sax and trumpet, Ira Friedman on organ and piano, and Pascal Veilette on harmonica. You know all the shows and films mentioned earlier? Together, they spell diamond-level QUALITY. That’s what’s been poured into each of the fourteen original tracks on this CD. Every note, every musical phrase, glimmers like the light off one of that gem’s many facets. This is real-deal blues, whether in swing/jump form (as on the opener “Let’s Go Down to the River”), the angsty, harmonica-infused title track, the guitar and piano boogie known as “The Mooch,” or the laid-back instrumental “Sea Breeze Blues.” Any band can crank out an album in their garage or basement and deem it good enough, but not Goudreau and his posse. They care about their offerings like Michelangelo cared about David, or Da Vinci the Mona Lisa. That’s because they’re not just musicians. Not just craftsmen. They’re artists, and don’t you forget it. Got The Isolation Blues? Here’s the cure, or at least the vaccine! "

"Felix responded quickly to our initial enquiry and any follow‑up messages. He took the time to understand the event and the audience - a small gathering of family and friends celebrating a special 80th Birthday. He has a great repertoire to choose from and after picking our favourites, he suggested some additional choices of his own to suit the event. On the day, he was brilliant. Set up was very simple and quick. Felix was very engaged with everyone - friendly, smiley, and incredibly personable. His transitions between genres were seamless, and he connected with guests across all ages - from 19 to 86! Everyone loved him and our Birthday Girl said in her Thank you card "A very big extra Thank you for Felix who made the day!" We would highly recommend Felix - wouldn't hesitate in booking him again and we hope to see him when he’s performing at one of the London hotels."

"We had Jimi at our wedding in Cyprus. We were blown away. He was amazing. Fantastic voice, amazing guitarist. He also did some DJing for us which was excellent. No hesitation in recommending him."

"We had Taylormade perform at our wedding on the 15th June 2019 at Crockwell Farm and they were absolutely brilliant! From the moment we showed an interest in booking them, right through to the end of the wedding night, and even after our wedding to see how we have been getting on as a married couple, they have been brilliant! The Acoustic Duo of Carley and Matt performed our ceremony and first dance songs beautifully, and the vocals were fantastic! The 4 Piece Live Band got everyone up and dancing at night and they all made the day extra special for us both. We couldn't fault them in the slightest! Highly recommended! Mr & Mrs Moss xx"

"We can’t say enough great things about The Lorean who played at our wedding! From the very first song to the final one, they nailed it. The energy, the talent, and the way they read the room was spot on. Many of our guests commented on how amazing the band was, they played many high-energy hits that got everyone moving, every moment felt well timed and well performed. It wasn't easy picking a band, we watched some online videos/reviews, but very happy we ended up with them: If you're looking for a band that brings the fun, great hits, and people will remember – this is the one to book!"

"Aden and Simon were fabulous and suited the tone of our corporate dinner at the Adelaide Oval perfectly. They took the time to understand the demographic and match the tone of the group, which was greatly appreciate. Also an absolute pleasure to work with in the lead-up to the event and on the day. Will reach out again when I have another suitable group bound for Adelaide."
