"It was splendid, thanks. The music set the mood and got everyone talking and enjoying it. It’s a bit of a thankless task doing that sort of thing but it really did make a big difference and I do hope the musicians realise how much it was appreciated."

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Sara in November 2016. Sara sang exquisitely during our chuppah ceremony at our wedding. She works beautifully with everyone and always goes above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of. Her voice is magical and she will always add a touch of magic and sparkle to every piece of music that she performs. We could not recommend her more highly!"

"One of the hidden treasures of London is the range of talent that exists on the folk and acoustic scene that rarely get the acclaim they deserve. Three London based bands that excel at performing Eastern European/Balkan Music are Szapora, Mukka and Beskydy, each of whom are worth looking out for. Nine strong Beskydy perform songs and tunes from across Eastern Europe and beyond, in fact looking at the sources on their cd listing is almost like a tour around that part of Europe, from Macedonia to Hungary via Galicia and Bulgaria and taking a detour through Slovakia. The bands name itself comes from the range of mountains that run through the centre of former Czechoslovakia which according to the band has heavily influenced their musical choices whilst they turn their hand to music from a range of sources (excellantly). The first track is a Macedonian song, Jovano, Jovanke (click here to hear the song) and the range of Joanna Fosters vocal skills are further displayed in the three Slovakian songs that make up track 4, from the slow Janosik to the more up beat cheery Anicka Dusicka and A Ja Taka Dzivocka although Foster and the band manage to intertwine the tunes with sufficient skill so the songs merge as one. Again Track 9 is a duet with Accordian player, Peter Murphy, joining Foster on the Macedonian song Iz Dolu, along with some damned fine fiddling. The range of Beskydys musical skills are illustrated well by the instrumental tracks ranging from the delightful Slovakian Waltzes (Track 5) to the slightly more manic Tropanka from Bulgaria (track 10) and onto the ordered upbeat and furious synthesis between sax, fiddle and accordian that is Tantz, Tantz Yiddelekh (a wonderful Galician Jewish tune), yet again garunteed to result in limb movement, a delightful fusion of fiddles and saxaphone, furiously creating a wonderful atmosphere one that demands a physical response. One very minor complaint is the sleeve of the CD, it would be nice (or do I just lead a very shallow empty life) to have some information/lyrics or even translations of the songs, something about the origins of the tracks. That said its more than possible for bands with large bank accounts to produce nice extensive sleeves but not so easy for bands whose talents lie in their music rather than some slick marketing agencies. It would be impossible to identify one part of this cd that could be said to stand out more than the rest. The band have produced an album that is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish - the question that comes to the fore when listening to this is when is the follow up going to be available? "

"Assaf is the most exciting percussionist on the dance scene today. His combination of flawless skill and flair is really something to behold, the guy is truly awesome"

"Hello Rachel, I just wanted to say thank you so much to you and the rest of the quartet for playing such beautiful music at Kathy and Michael’s wedding, you really helped to create such a wonderful atmosphere. I kept hearing snatches of your music from other rooms and it made me feel lovely and festive too! You did a great job during the ceremony making sure you played until exactly the right time. If I am in your area again I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to future clients. Have a wonderful Christmas Andrea x "

"Brian was everything that my husband and I could've asked for. He was professional, punctual, and most importantly he did a great job with the music selection. He was also able to provide a mic and amp for some live music during the ceremony, and played piano for us during the cocktail hour. We really appreciated having someone so multi-talented for our event. We gave Brian a smaller list of must-play songs, and with that outline he was able to fill in the gaps effectively with what the crowd was feeling. We didn't have to worry about the music all night, and he was mingling and getting requests from the guests with his iPad (a favorite detail of the guests'). Our wedding was a huge success in no small part because of Brian, and we cannot recommend him enough."

"We would like to say a huge thank you to you and the girls for playing at our wedding in September. It really was the perfect way to walk down the aisle. Your music was beautiful and we received so many compliments from our guests about how great you were during the church service and reception. Thank you so much for making it feel so special. I'm just sorry I didnt get a chance to introduce myself to you on the day, it flew by! "
