"Marcia Bamberg gave a fantastic concert with her swing quartet on Friday evening, October 13. Marcia managed to continuously hold the attention of the audience with her beautiful voice and warm appearance and the musical accompaniment by John Ligthart on guitar, among others, was surprising and catchy. Afterwards, Marcia and 'her' men rightly received a standing ovation. Highly recommended for other (intimate) stages."

"We couldn’t thank metropolis live music enough! As many know wedding planning is quite stressful but Mingo Tull (band leader) made it seamless and worry free. We chose them after a friend recommended them and made our wedding a total success! Almost 2 months later and people are still saying “that band was unreal”, “that band was electric”, “my legs were so sore from dancing because of the band”. If you are worried about people dancing at your wedding, then this is the band for you! Metropolis will forever be special to us because they made our dream wedding come true! Also every single band member and sound crew was amazing as well. The talent was unmatched. I will recommend and hope to go to a wedding with metropolis live band where we can reconnect <3 A very happy bride and groom! Lisa and Joey Bednarski 10/13/24 Newburgh Brewing Company "

"Yerassyl Khamit was so amazing to work with. He was dependable and flexible on music choices. Worked with me on suggestions for different types of genres of music too ( Latin, salsa, modern, rock and of course classical). Very well priced and a perfect fit for the two hour cocktail reception we hosted for clients from all over the world. Thanks so much!"

" Yaz xxx oud player is widely regarded as a very good, highly respected oud player. Here’s why musicians, critics, and venues take him seriously: 🎵 Musical Skill & Reputation • Strong technical command of the oud: His playing shows control, speed, and expressive phrasing, especially in improvisation (taqsim). • Expressive style: Critics often highlight the emotional depth and atmosphere of his playing rather than just flashiness. • Comparisons to top players: He has been compared in reviews to internationally respected oud masters like Anouar Brahem, which is high praise in the oud world. 🌍 Professional Recognition • Major venues & festivals: He has performed at places like Ronnie Scott’s, the Barbican, Royal Festival Hall, WOMAD, and Glastonbury — venues that book only high-level musicians. • Serious collaborations: Playing with artists such as Robert Plant, Natacha Atlas, Cheb Mami, and Transglobal Underground indicates strong peer recognition. • Longevity: He has maintained an active career for decades, which usually only happens when a musician is consistently good and in demand. 🎶 Musical Value • He’s not just a technician — he’s also a composer and bandleader, able to integrate the oud into jazz, blues, and world-music contexts without losing its traditional character. • His work with Fantazia and later ensembles shows versatility across traditional and contemporary styles. Bottom line If you measure “good” by: • technical ability ✅ • musical expression ✅ • professional respect ✅ • sustained career at high-level venues"

"Our event was a family focused event in the park hosted by a Cub Scout Pack. It had vendors & food trucks with a lot of life sized free games. Mario Manzini was our primary entertainment with 2- 1 hour shows of magic & escape. Victoria offered up her talents on an electric fiddle as an opening act for Mario and it ran together very well. Mario & Victoria did a wonderful job of entertaining. The children loved the mystery of the escapes and the chief of police challenged him in a cuff escape. The crowd was fully involved in the event. They got there early to set up, they were approachable and friendly."

"DJ Copycat took care of all the music and lighting requirements at our recent wedding. Ben (DJ Copycat) was friendly and helpful and made our first dance as well as speeches a real breeze. We could request tracks on the night, and these were quickly fulfilled. The booking for DJ Copycat was relatively short notice, but this did not phase him at all, and I feel he offered good value for money. I highly recommend!"

"Tony has put together an outstanding outfit that will certainly put a stamp on your event. It’s a life long dream for him to create a band of this kind, operated by himself which reduces problems you tend to find with entertainment companies that operate as an agency. With Toneacity, you will deal with the main man which is amazing! After working alongside the band, they focus on attention to detail, creating an amazing atmosphere and engaging the audience. Definitely consider these for your event! "

"Lee arrived on time and played fantastically well for an hour and a half. I’m convinced he would have gone on longer but dinner was to be served. The variety of his catalogue was fantastic and he appealed to all the family. Initially he played a variety of pieces from his repertoire. Then requests starting coming in and he played virtually all of them by ear. What turned out to be one or two requests quickly turned in a request show and Lee’s ability to hear a song/ piece in his head play it was breathtaking. His improvisation was quite astonishing. If you are thinking of hiring a pianist for an event look no further. He was simply amazing. One really emotional performance and a good guy to boot!!"

"Pure fun! Sonny made our wedding simply fantastic. Talented, professional, open to our requests, and, above all, incredibly engaging. The Band got all our guests dancing and singing, creating a unique atmosphere! They were perfectly on time and knew exactly how to move, coordinating with the venue so that guests wouldn’t stay seated too long but also wouldn’t miss any courses. They were exactly what we were looking for. Both we and our guests were thrilled with their music and their vibrant entertainment! Highly recommended!"

"He was able to play along with the songs the DJ was playing. He lifted the entire vibe and energy of the party. I 100% recommend Stephen, he's an incredibly talented Sax player! We will definitely book him for any future events. Thank you Stephen!"

"Booking a live performer online can be hard as music can sound different on a video to actually being there. As soon as Christopher started playing for our wedding we knew we had made a great choice. When we was signing the register Christopher started to play The Beatles Here comes the sun and it sounded amazing. Some of my guests even complimented Christopher to me saying they didnt realise it was a live singer and was actually a cd from a recording studio as his sound was pitch perfect. For any occasion Christopher is the guy to have. Many thanks again Christopher"
