"Tony performed at a colleague's retirement party in Cheltenham - and he absolutely made the night. He was brilliant, is an absolutely fantastic singer with a wide repertoire, and read the crowd just right so keeping the dance floor full of very happy people all night. He really was fabulous - if I could go back 5 years and book him for my wedding, I would!"

"My wife and I popped along to see the popular Denis Cook's solo gig. Along with his regular set songs like: "Budapest" by George Ezra, an acoustic version of The Foundations "Baby Now That I’ve Found You", Neil Diamond's "Love On The Rocks" and "Sweet Caroline", even Chas & Dave's "Rabbit" Denis establishes a good rapport with his audience, some of whom are obviously regular fans, so there was plenty of joking, repartee and crowd participation during this gig which was played to a packed house and which saw Denis strumming guitar, ukulele, mandolin and blowing some decent harmonica too. Denis has learnt his craft well and along with his affable manner and fine vocal renditions which made for a very pleasant evening. (For those who may not already know, this talented man is also a well-respected DJ!) In any event, we had intended to stay only a short while but ended up staying put for a full, enjoyable 3 hours and although I didn't count, I'm told Denis played 52 songs in this extended set!"

"Music&Soul ha saputo unire classe e divertimento in un’unica serata. Il quartetto con pianoforte, batteria e sax ha creato l’atmosfera perfetta per il nostro evento, mentre il DJ set finale ha scatenato la pista da ballo! Un team di musicisti talentuosi e disponibili, con una cura dei dettagli impeccabile. Li consigliamo senza alcun dubbio!"

"Livi was absolutely brilliant! She is an incredibly versatile singer who was able to adapt to the very unusual situation she was confronted with – an inner-city Wassail! The success of the event was in no small part, due to Livi’s participation. Not only does she have a beautiful voice, she is incredibly adaptable, kind and professional. Leading a Wassail in Bermondsey? No problem, bring it on!"

"Greg was amazing! After working with him as a producer before, he was our first choice for our wedding! He totally understood our ideal wedding playlist and effectively steered away from the classic cheesy wedding songs as requested! Pre-wedding, he set up in plenty of time, and even helped to calm my nerves. He was so incredibly organised and helpful throughout the night, working well with all our other vendors including saxophonist. Gregor was highly commended by all our guests, with many of them asking how they could get in touch for their own events. Gregor hosted a couple of ceilidh songs which we loved! He switched up the Gay Gordon’s with a more interesting song and our guest absolutely loved it! Could not recommend him enough and will 100% book for any future events 🙌🏼 thanks again!"

"Tom sang at our daughters wedding and was just brilliant. Turned up in good time to set up, looked so smart and then gave two brilliant sets of music that the whole audience absolutely loved. The wedding was quite simply breathtaking from start to finish and the only criticism I received was that I didn't book Tom for a longer time!"

"Hype Magazine USA Cure For Jealousy A perfectly polished storyteller in the literal sense, Dar.Ra goes for this wild swing of ‘80s dance-rock infused with edge on the stomping sweetness of “Cure For Jealousy.” The track combines a range of periods and influences, ensuring the sound works seamlessly as a cohesive, concise whole. Volume is a given; he brings it, and it is a physical sound, like the way blood rushes through the ears with the first few traces of jealousy. Looking through his track record, he’s managed to touch upon every iteration of dance and rock within the last forty years, and has done it well. Outside of the music, he’s the author of two books, which also inform the character studies that he graces with his sound. It is catchy, addictive, and liberating stuff, the sort of thing that the music world needs now – something unique, experimental yet accessible, and overflowing with ideas. Sonically, Dar.Ra’s sound draws on the revivalist traditions of DFA Records, specifically on LCD Sound-System’s earnest pleas and search for meaning. Like James Murphy, Dar.Ra does have a love for the aesthetics of just a gigantic canvas, letting the whole arrangement feel enormous. On the classic side, the insistent bass has an ESG quality, with the groove absolutely dominating. It is easy to get intoxicated by the atmosphere, and the vocals further sell this idea of breaking free from this impairment. The tautness of the groove even delves into Parliament’s most unhinged experiments, as the track sparkles with endless creativity. For all these reference points, Dar.Ra continues his fine tradition of marching to the beat of a different drummer, going for this life-affirming, soulful stance. The stormy mix of keyboards and the tight rhythm section work their magic. Before his voice enters the equation, the mood is already set. When he takes center stage, the song transforms into an inner turmoil. He’s conflicted, and the verses cascade downwards reflecting exactly that. It stuns, and the track’s length makes the atmosphere almost psychedelic. Of course, this is what good dance music is meant to embody – endless expanses, endless possibilities. There is a reason so many dance-floors adhere to that sixto-seven-minute mark, even exceeding it when necessary. The band's interplay feels spirited, as if possessed, and this is what carries it all the way to the finale: a contemplative commotion. “Cure For Jealousy” shows that Dar.Ra is what music needs right now – a sound that draws and builds on the past while pointing a way forward, in a purely hedonistic, funk/dance/punk flavour."
