"Owning a wine bar that featured musicians was a treat, but one of my very favorite bands to listen to and work with was The Magpies. Everyone knows the songs in their repertoire, and their personalities made them a joy to work with. I can't recommend them highly enough! Kelly @ Sips & Gulps"

"Gary is an outstanding musician and a pleasure to work. From our first conversation through the end of our party he is a true professional. We had a three hour 60th birthday party with people of various ages attending and Gary was absolutely fantastic creating the perfect mood with live acoustic music for our event as people socialized and ate. So many guests asked who he was and how we found him because they thought he was wonderful! He’s extremely talented. I highly recommend Gary and hope to have occasion to work with him again."

"Stefano performed at our Serenata the night before our wedding, and I could not recommend him enough. From the very first contact, his warmth, kindness, and passion for music and entertainment shone through. On the night itself, Stefano didn’t feel like just an entertainer—he felt like a guest at our celebration. His presence was genuine and heartfelt, and he brought with him the most fun, traditional, and authentic Italian experience. Even with our diverse crowd of international guests, everyone was completely engaged and uplifted by his music and energy. He is incredibly talented and truly brought so much life, joy, and authenticity to the evening. Having Stefano there made the night unforgettable, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for any event."

"Thank you for the most romantic and Scottish first dance and for your ceilidh. Tricia was great when calling the dances and explaining us what to do. We all had lots of fun. You also managed to make my dad dance, who ususally never does! I was truly amazed to see him on the dance floor. With your wonderful music you made the evening even more special and you created wonderful memories that we will bring forever in our hearts. I truly wish to meet you again and dance at the rythm of your wonderful Scottish music. I have purchased your disc in ITunes as I am in love with your songs! "

"Marianna was the perfect choice for our company’s anniversary event. Her voice brought a wonderful vibe to the night, and the crowd was completely enchanted. She truly knows how to connect with the audience and elevate any occasion. Can’t wait to invite her back!"

"We just wanted to pass on a huge thank you to you guys for such an amazing ceilidh that you put on for us on Saturday. We had an amazing night and we were just reflecting today on how the strip the willow might have been in our top 3 moments of the wedding - we had so much fun, everyone else was having fun and that was the moment we got to look around and realise how perfectly the day had gone. And I am sure I mentioned on the night that Wallace and Gromit was such a perfect song to play during the Gay Gordon’s - that show means more to us than you would ever have known when you played it!"

"We can’t thank you enough for helping to make the whole weekend so special, from Friday night outside the pub, to the beautiful songs in the quarry during the ceremony, to the fantastic performance in the tipi! Your energy and enjoyment was infectious and you went way beyond what we had requested with the numerous encores! We can’t tell you how many of our guests have commented how good you were and how they had never seen a band like you in terms of musicianship and the way you engaged. We will be sure to spread the word, but would also like to leave you some proper feedback – please let us know if there is somewhere particular you would prefer us to do that. We hope your pneumonia has cleared up or you are at least on the road to full recovery. Please pass on our gratitude to Matteo, Ollie and Kelpie. Very best wishes"

"I have seen Tatcho Drom several times now. The first time was a few years ago in the Percival Room, South Bank, London. They were phenomenal. The atmosphere, whipped up by the whole band and in particular by Gundula Gruen through her virtuoso violin playing and her repartee with the audience, was pulsating. I think some of the audience were from the Balkans and they were going wild. But most of us cold-blooded Englishmen and woman were up on our feet as well. If you get the chance to see this lot performing live, grab it. I love going to their shows."

"Robert did an awesome job at my father's funeral. His choice of music was spot on and he coordinated with the staff at Quantico to ensure the whole event came off perfectly. Thanks Robert!"

"Blag were really exactly what we were looking for! I don't live in London so I was nervous about choosing a band I hadn't heard play, but they sounded great online, and I spoke to Michael over the phone and on email about the type of party we were having and the music we wanted. Most importantly they played brilliantly on the night, everyone was up out their seats for a good knees up and we were guided round the dances that we didn't know. All the guests were happy. Would definitely recommend!"
