"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our event on Friday. You were so helpful on the lead up and at the event you and your friend played beautifully. It was reassuring to know you had played at the venue before. Guests absolutely loved you and the music was perfect for our event! Thank you! "

"I recently had the pleasure of hosting a wedding where Raju performed, and I can’t recommend him highly enough! His flute playing added a beautiful and elegant touch to the ceremony, creating a serene atmosphere that perfectly complemented the special occasion. It was so highly complimented! From the first note, it was clear that Raju is incredibly talented and professional. He played a wonderful selection of music, effortlessly transitioning between pieces that resonated with both the couple and the guests. Many attendees commented on how lovely the music was, and it truly elevated the entire experience. If you're looking for a talented and reliable musician for any event, Raju is the perfect choice!"

"My partner Jessica Brennan recently had her 70th Birthday Party at the Castello di Septe in Mozzagrogna, and had Good Time Soul Foundation for the music. The band were outstanding and everybody remarked how good they were. Some of the guests were in a nine piece band themselves and could appreciate the quality of their performance. Jessica gave a list of songs that she wanted them to play and they didn’t let her down from Jazz to Soul and Dance everybody had a great time."

"Vi ho conosciuto per caso tramite un amico e ha saputo consigliarmi davvero il meglio. Siete stati impeccabili dall'inizio alla fine del nostro matrimonio, ci avete accontentato in tutto e siete stati fenomenali soprattutto quando è arrivato il momento di far ballare noi e i nostri invitati. Vi sceglierei altre infinite volte, grazie!"

"When searching for a band for our wedding in Italy we came across The Waistcoats and after watching many videos and reading through all the reviews we made contact. The first email from Paul immediately put us at ease and we decided to book them. Throughout the lead up to the wedding, we had a few different requests (speakers for ceremony and microphones for speeches) all which were agreed to with no problem at all! On the day they arrived with plenty of time and had a calm presence and were easy to deal with. They are very experienced and knew what to do without having to be told, which kept us super relaxed. For both parts of the day The Waistcoats played aperitifs and after dinner. They understood what to play and created a fantastic atmosphere. All our guests did not stop dancing even during the aperitifs there was dancing. We also pushed forward the first dance and this was no problem. We had lots of ‘experienced’ wedding guests who exclaimed: “best wedding band ever”! And we also truly believe that too! We can’t thank you enough for everything you did to make our day so very special! Thank you! Ciaran and Charlie"

"The Hot Hats were more than we could have ever hoped for on our wedding day. Whether you plan a smaller wedding with close friends and family, or a larger affair, The Hots Hats are guaranteed to be the cherry on cake for your special day - Without them I'm not sure we would have been able to create the same party atmosphere! Whether our guests were tapping their feet or dancing on the grass, everyone enjoyed the entertainment. Alfie was also both friendly and professional throughout, making us feel at ease as we planned the day. Thanks so much! - Jess & Joe, July 2021"

"In the balmy evening air of Stuart, Florida, on April 26, 2025, the Terra Fermata Tiki Bar transformed into a time machine, whisking a crowd of over 500 fans back to the legendary 1971 Fillmore East concerts. Brothers After All, the premier Allman Brothers Band tribute act hailing from Southeast Florida, took the stage for a meticulously crafted recreation of the iconic live album At Fillmore East in their first set. What unfolded was nothing short of a magical performance that captured the raw energy, improvisational genius, and soulful blues-rock essence of the original Allman Brothers Band, leaving attendees buzzing with nostalgia and awe. Terra Fermata, with its open air tiki vibe, palm trees swaying under string lights, and a stage backed by the Florida sunset, proved to be an unexpectedly perfect setting for this tribute. The venue, known for hosting eclectic acts from reggae to jam bands, was packed wall-to-wall by 8 PM, with fans spilling onto the outdoor patios. Drawing a diverse crowd: die-hard Allman aficionados in their 60s and 70s, younger jam-band enthusiasts discovering the classics, and even families introducing the next generation to Southern rock royalty. The atmosphere was electric, fueled by cold brews and the anticipation of hearing those timeless tracks come alive. Brothers After All kicked off the set with Statesboro Blues, the opener from At Fillmore East, and immediately set the tone with dual guitar harmonies that echoed Duane Allman and Dickey Betts' legendary interplay. Lead guitarist Pete Quigley channeled Duane's slide guitar wizardry with precision, his fingers dancing across the strings in a way that felt both reverent and innovative. Opposite him, rhythm guitarist Dave Lasman delivered Betts' melodic lines with fiery passion, their chemistry evident in extended jams that stretched the song well beyond its album length, much to the crowd's delight. The band didn't just play the album; they embodied it. Drummer duo Mike Loschiavo, Hosny “Hoz” Franck along with Mitch Fine on percussion replicated the thunderous percussion of Butch Trucks, and Jaimoe, locking into grooves that pulsed with organic rhythm. Bassist Will Keehner held down the low end with Berry Oakley's funky precision, while keyboardist/vocalist Lefty Hathaway nailed Gregg Allman's vocals and Hammond B3 organ swells. Highlights included the epic 23-minute rendition of "Whipping Post," where the band's improvisations ventured into psychedelic territories, and "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," which featured a jaw-dropping drum solo that had the audience on their feet. What made this show truly unbelievable was the attention to detail. Brothers After All used period accurate gear to recreate the warm, analog sound of the original recordings. They played the album in sequence, complete with the between song banter and crowd noise cues that fans know by heart. By the time they closed with You Don't Love Me, the tiki bar felt like Fillmore itself, alive with cheers and applause. Audience reactions were overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees praising the band's authenticity and energy. Here's a roundup of remarks from attendees we spoke with post-show: Tom H., 68, from Palm Beach Gardens: I've seen the real Allmans back in 72, and these guys nailed it. The guitar duels were spot on it felt like Duane was up there smiling down. Best tribute I've ever seen! Sarah L., 32, from Jupiter: I'm new to the Allman Brothers, but this show hooked me. The jams were endless and so hypnotic. Over 500 people dancing under the stars! Unforgettable. Brothers After All made me a fan for life. Mike and Lisa R., a couple in their 50s from Stuart: We come to Terra Fermata all the time, but this was next level. The crowd was huge, but the vibe was intimate. Stormy Monday gave me chills the vocals were pure Gregg. Kudos to the band for keeping the spirit alive! Emily K., 25, from Miami (visiting family): As a Phish fan, I love long jams, and this delivered. The energy was insane; everyone was singing along. Wish they would tour more; I'd follow them like the Deadheads do! Anonymous fan overheard in the crowd: This wasn't a cover band; it was a resurrection. With that many people packed in, it could have been chaotic, but the sound was crystal clear. Epic night! Minor quibbles: The outdoor venue meant occasional wind affecting the sound mix early on, and with such a large turnout, lines for drinks were long during set breaks. But these were footnotes in an otherwise flawless evening. Brothers After All proved why they're considered one of today’s top tribute acts, blending respect for the source material with their own flair. If you're a fan of classic rock, jam bands, or just great live music, catch Brothers After All show "

"Martyn and Sarah played for us at our wedding anniversary with 120 guests milling around and chatting. Their music was great, and they were completely relaxed that our guests were not totally focused on their performance. They added to the atmosphere with 2 fantastic sets and a wide range of well known songs - hard to believe that 2 people can create such a rich sound. They fitted in perfectly to the evening, and really added to the overall ambiance. Highly recommended. Thank you both. Grant and Debbie Wilson "

"Good Trouble rocked our house! I hosted my 65th birthday party in Stonington and everybody danced! Good Trouble produced some fantastic danceable moments for us, adapted to our song requests and made our night very, very special. Three very talented guys. We all had a ball. You gotta love Good Trouble! - Captain Ric, Stonington, CT "
