"This dancer is different from other dancers as she approaches flamenco not only as a proud and loud way of dancing but with a lot of sensitivity and musicality. I recommend this act whole-heartedly."

"Review ‘Under the covers’ ‘The Crown’ 6/8/22 Saturday night saw the highly anticipated and another eagerly awaited return to ‘The Crown’ Family Pub and Live Music Venue, 749 Lincoln Road, Peterborough, PE1 3HD, of Top Cambridge Party Band ‘Under The Covers!’ They are ‘Simply The Best’ 3 Piece band that sound like a 4 piece we have had playing from outside of Peterborough! ?? Fronted by the charismatic Lead Singer and Bass player ‘Thomas Pollyn’ ??who literally fanned the audience from start to finish with his legendary ‘Long Necked Bass!’ making no need for our air conditioning!, the band started the 1st set the way they meant to go on with with ‘Summer of 69’ featuring brilliant Lead and backing vocal harmonies from ‘Thom’ and Lead guitarist’ ‘Christian Jones’ ??and it was ‘Party Time’ once again as we were quickly taken back through the decades!??? We then got 3 absolute classics in a row, ‘ Shake rattle and roll’ by Bill Haley and His Comets ? ☄️ from 1955 and ‘Build me up buttercup’ by The Foundations ‘Twist and shout’ by The Beatles, which featured great drumming by ‘Lewis Dunmore’ ? There was some really ‘refreshing’ song choices again from this band! In particular ‘Escape’ (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes from 1979!? Great humour in the band! Thom: “This is about a man called Johnny!” Christian: “Where does he go?” Thom: “He just goes!” Lol ?? A great version of ‘Johnny B Goode’ followed with excellent Lead Guitar from ‘Christian! ? ‘Play That Funky Music’ with ‘Thom’s’ bass playing giving ‘Mark King from ‘Funk Band’ Level 42 a run for his money!, ‘I want to break Free’ and ‘The Best’ by Tina Turner took us to one of the definite highlights of the 1st Set! ‘A Message to you Rudy’ by The Specials which was worth the ‘Free Admission Price ‘Alone! ????? ‘Sweet Home Alabama’?? and then ‘500 Miles’ by The Proclaimers closed the 1st set in style and demonstrated again the great diversity in this great band! Set 2 started strongly with ‘Let Me Entertain You’ and ‘Chelsea Dagger’ It was then ABBA time with ‘Does your mother know’ and ‘Mama Mia’????♀️??? Next up was the highly anticipated and eagerly awaited Ska 2-Tone section of: ‘Lip up Fatty’ ? by Bad Manners ‘Monkey man’? by The Specials and ‘Baggy Trousers’? by Madness which was awesome! ??? ‘I bet you look good on the Dancefloor’, ‘Sex on Fire’? ‘Teenage Dirtbag’, Mr Brightside’ and ‘Sweet Caroline’ took us to set closer ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ by Oasis. A well deserved Encore saw the band play the anthemic ‘Living On A Prayer’ by ‘Bon Jovi’ with again incredible Lead and backing vocals from the band! ???? BIG Thank you to ‘Under The Covers’ who we look forward to bringing back next year! ?"

"A fantastic evening by the super musical accompaniment of La Sooph! 👍 Very easily accessible band that also express their own personal enthusiasm during the songs. We chose four people and had a very nice time together with Sooph (vocals), Maurits (double bass & manager of the band), female percussion and guitar! At the end of the evening all guests said that they really enjoyed the music and the band 😀 For future parties I will definitely check if they will be joining us for a follow-up performance 🎊"

"What a wonder it was to decide that they would be responsible for putting the icing on the cake! The live music enhanced the emotions and left us all delighted with their talents and the synchrony they have between them. Without a doubt, a great success. Thank you, guys!"

"Liebe Martina, nicht nur wir, sicherlich auch alle Gäste, sogar die Bedienungen wippten und sangen mit, und schließlich auch der Wirt, Herr Wagner waren begeistert von eurer bunten Musikauswahl. Vor allem du Martina hast mit deinem engagierten Rundgang durch den Saal eine tolle Stimmung erzeugt. Ihr seid auch super angenehm und sympathisch rüber gekommen. Eure musikalischen Qualitäten in Gesang und instrumental habt ihr nachhaltig in unser aller Gehör und Gedächtnis gebracht. Die Möglichkeit ist gar nicht so gering, dass wir uns irgendwann wieder auf einer Feier, vielleicht bei einem unser vielen Freunde oder meiner eigenen treffen werden. Beeindruckend war auch die Zuverlässigkeit im Vorfeld unserer “Verhandlungen” . Prompte Antworten auf unsere An- und Nachfragen waren selbstverständlich und es dauerte gar nicht so lange, bis sogar eine gewisse Vertrautheit entstanden ist. Man merkte bei jeder Aktion, dass ihr euch selber richtig auf unser Fest freut und wir alle haben es gespürt 🤩 Sonja und Rudi aus Feldafing "

"El año pasado contratamos a Chris y Alkka para actuar en el cumpleaños de mi marido. Fue en un hotel precioso, éramos unos 50 de todas las edades. Ellos actuaron prácticamente durante toda la tarde/noche, con un increíble repertorio de música que a todos nos hizo recordar, bailar y disfrutar como nunca. Son verdaderamente estupendos, Chris un guitarrista excepcional y la voz de Alkka incomparable. Cuando podemos nos desplazamos allá donde estén actuando. Nunca defraudan. Sinceramente los recomiendo para cualquier evento o celebración. Muchísimas gracias Chris y Alkka por vuestra música!"

"After weeks and weeks of looking for a wedding band we stumbled across Surefire Trio. We were worried organising an Irish wedding from the UK would be complicated but Roy was an absolute dream to work with, made the whole process so stress free! We opted for the band and DJ for the night, they were perfect and fantastic value for money, our initially reserved crowd were up dancing in no time! They performed an excellent mix of music and played a playlist of music of our choice while the evening buffet was being served, then the DJ kept the music going til the early hours. I had 100% confidence in them as they are true professionals, talented musicians and really know how to read a crowd. I would recommend these guys to get any party going!"

"Friendly and great musicians — I say this as a ‘colleague’. A truly talented saxophonist with an outstanding sense of phrasing. A varied repertoire that’s never boring. Absolute professionals. Perfect for this kind of event."

"Wedding Band After seeing The Sidewalk Crusaders perform on the streets of Toronto a few times, we decided that they would be the perfect addition for our wedding. They were a crowd favorite and Peter's energy while on the sax was incredible. We highly recommend them for any event. Thank you again for being a part of our special day. "

"The band was incredible. They were hired to perform during a charity basketball game and everyone loved them. Brandon is very responsive and even accommodated a few special songs that I wanted the band to play. Will definitely be using them at all my events in the future."

"Absolutely brilliant! Made the entire night and brought so much life to the party. Played a mixture of upbeat songs and irish jigs and accommodated the music we wanted for the party and accommodated all ages. So excited to book them again. The guests are still mentionioning them a whole week after our event. Most friendly and professional band you could hire. If you're looking for a band to accommodate 18+ look no further, the whole place was dancing all night. Very talented guys. Thank you so much for making our party that much better."
