Review Centre: Acoustic Bands

" “Eleazar Strachan, long hair in a ponytail and playing a homemade guitar covered in flowery wallpaper, invited event host Adrian Ziller (also part of May’s band) to join him for a couple of songs, including an improvised run-through of Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues. Eleazar’s style recalls Bob Dylan's, with his long rambling, poetic original work, songs that begins with the familiar folk style of previous work soon explodes with a touch of rock licks and rhythms, on his flowery acoustic guitar. This is Eleazar at his best."

"Sarah and Martyn were perfect for a 90th birthday party for mixed ages. They read the room well and provided a great mix of music. They were friendly and approachable. Our guests comments were all complimentary. Thank you. Sheila"

"The So and So’s are a three-piece covers band that know how to get a crowd going. Big sound, great energy, and a set packed with classics and modern favourites that keep the dancefloor busy all night. Friendly, professional, and seriously good fun. Mary Murphy, Saturday 28 February 2026"

"We first stumbled across Ed & Oliviya when they performed an acoustic set for the Bedford Gin Festival back in 2018. When we started planning our wedding in the Loire Valley, France my [now] wife and I both suggested we contact them to see if they'd be willing to travel and perform for us. Having contacted Ed directly, I cannot overstate how great he was to deal with. Ed was always prompt in his responses, from the quotation to additional requests we made along the way (and also on the day itself). Nothing was ever too much for them and they added significantly to our special day. We had a large number of guests specifically mention how much they enjoyed Ed & Oliviyas music - they performed before the ceremony and also got the party started after dinner. They make a fantastic duo, with Ed on guitar and Oliviya's stunning vocals. I would whole-heartedly recommend using these two if you have a special event which requires some music. Next time we have a party and need some music - we will definitely be giving you a call. Thanks again for everything, and making our day extra special. Love, Damian & Anastasia"

"Johnny called me within minutes of posting a request for a bagpiper. We were coming from out of state for a funeral having little communication with the family and sparse knowledge of how the day would go. He was very communicative, friendly, and accommodating He was professional, arrived well in advance, played wonderfully, and conducted his portion of the ceremony as if there had been rehearsals, although the service was very much off the cuff. He was flexible and could adapt at the last minute, working alongside the honor guard to help create a beautiful and honoring ceremony. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone and would call him again."

"This was a truly unforgettable and flawless performance. Sinfonietta String Quartet added a sense of sanctity and perfection to our wedding, and the combination of classical music with a castle wedding was incredibly harmonious. They displayed a friendly and sincere attitude, and they were willing to communicate actively. I highly recommend choosing them."

"The Mirrors were the highlight of my wife's 40th party, they were amazing! Filippo is a superb guitarist and Azu's voice and performance is second to none! They compliment each other so well and really made it a night to remember. Without doubt, I wouldn't hesitate to book them again or strongly recommend them for a wedding or party. Thank you The Mirrors for the great evening and forever memories!!"

"Music&Soul ha creato un’atmosfera intima e raffinata, con un repertorio vario e mai scontato. Alcuni brani ci hanno piacevolmente sorpreso! Il quartetto con piano, batteria e sax ha dato un tocco di classe alla serata, mentre il violinista e il pianoforte hanno reso la cerimonia un momento indimenticabile. Il DJ set ha trasformato la festa in una serata memorabile! Bravissimi e consigliatissimi. "

"Paul played recently for an outside birthday party for my husband. It was just perfect hearing his rich and mellow voice wafting through the garden. His relaxed manner provided the perfect vibe for the evening. His range of music delighted all, so many people commented on how having live music, Paul in particular , made the evening. Paul was so easy to communicate with, being prompt and very amenable . I would not hesitate to hire Paul again or to recommend him for a wide range of occasions ."

"La loro musica è stata il filo conduttore perfetto per il nostro evento: mai invadente, sempre elegante e di grande impatto. Sarah ha una voce incredibile, e il resto della band ha suonato con grande classe. Il rito con violino e pianoforte è stato da brividi, e il DJ set finale ci ha fatto ballare fino a tardi. Consigliamo Music&Soul a chiunque voglia un evento curato nei minimi dettagli!"

"Lina provided the perfect musical backdrop for our office anniversary celebration with her presence, talent, and charming understatement. Planning/Coordination From the initial contact to the performance, Lina was always available by phone and provided excellent support. Performance/Show Wonderful! Whether as background musician providing musical accompaniment or with a short solo performance, she perfectly complemented our office anniversary and delighted the audience. Recommendation We highly recommend this artist :-) German: Lina hat unserem Bürojubiläum mit Ihrer Erscheinung, Ihrem Können und Ihrer charmanten Zurückhaltung einen passenden musikalischen Rahmen gegeben. Planung/Abstimmung Von der Kontaktaufnahme bis zum Auftritt war Lina stets telefonisch erreichbar und hat uns perfekt unterstützt. Performance/Auftritt Wunderbar, sowohl als Hintergrundmusikerin zur muskalischen Untermahlung als auch mit einer kleinen Soloperformance hat Sie unser Bürojubliäum perfekt begleitet und das Publikum begeistert. Weiterempfehlung Wir können diese Künstlerin ausdrücklich empfehlen :-)"
