Review Centre: Motown Bands

"I contacted Chris about 8 months before we got married because when we watched their videos and read their reviews we knew they absolutely had to be the band for our reception. For the months before the wedding Chris was so kind and generous with his time and expertise and he answered hundreds of our questions without a hint of complaint! The band were incredibly popular with all our guests, so many of them remarking how wonderful the band were. Their versatility on stage was brilliant – they covered musical tastes from the past 60 years and all of it had people excited for more. Just so happy that we found Chris and The Vibrations, you’d be a fool not to book them!"

"Thank you Toneacious Soul for an amazing night. The singers were flawless, both musically and the choreography. I’ve rarely seen such a range of musicians and it was lovely to see how they all had the opportunity to shine with their instrument. The atmosphere was electric and never a moment where I couldn’t resist being on the dance floor (despite my heels)! I can’t wait to get back on the dancefloor at another Toneacious Soul event!!"

"One of the best decisions I made was when I found this band and asked them to please perform! They were EXCEPTIONAL. Communicating with Stefano before the wedding- he was amazing, helping me with the SIAE, their response times were so quick, and so kind – they are also so so talented and great at what they do! Everyone was dancing and singing these guys are amazing 🤩"

"From their arrival at my 60th Birthday Party Moondance slotted in seamlessly with no fuss. They performed three 40 minute sets and were brilliant."

"Absolutely cannot rate this band more highly and would get them booked immediately if you have the chance! Booked The Mirrors for a hen party and they did not disappoint. They came with a collection of crowd pleasing songs, stunning vocals and incredible guitar playing, but not only this, amazing personalities and the fun factor which was needed for the occasion. They were very professional from booking, confirming details, checking in prior to the event and then the event itself. The real highlight of our weekend. They were an incredible talent and even more fun!!!"

"We needed a band to suit ages from Uni graduates to wedding guests from 30yrs ago. The Cheers were amazing, all ages are still talking about them now! We had a marquee, stage, suitable electrics and dance floor, and wow, did they made the party rock. Ben was great with communication, very professionally documented and clear about their needs which was all reassuring. We booked well in advance... and so pleased that we did as it was fantastic! If only we could have more reasons for parties."

"Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute : Un nouvel orchestre sur la Côte d’Azur Alors que les évènements culturels sur la Côte d’Azur comme partout en France rencontrent cet été 2020 de grandes difficultés à se maintenir en raison des contraintes sanitaires, un nouvel orchestre, dédié aux musiques des films de Quentin Tarantino vient de voir le jour : Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute. Cet orchestre composé de 10 membres, instrumentistes et chanteurs, proposent un répertoire basé sur les chansons et instrumentaux utilisés par Quentin Tarantino dans ses films. On a parfois reproché à Tarantino de ne pas commander de musique originale. Dans ses six premiers films il a préféré utiliser des pépites rock, country, rockabilly, surf music, funk, (« Reservoir Dogs », « Pulp Fiction », « Jackie Brown », « Death Proof ») mais aussi quelques extraits et effets sonores tirés de westerns, de films de série Z ou séries des années 50/60, de films de kung-fu (« Kill Bill »). A partir de 2009 et son film « Inglorious Basterds », il commence à utiliser des musiques écrites pour d’autres films, notamment de Morricone et Luis Bacalov. Il puise ainsi dans le répertoire des westerns-spaghetti. Dès lors, ses prochains films vont contenir à la fois des musiques et des chansons originales, mais aussi toujours des titres plus « vintage », choisis dans sa propre discothèque de vinyles. En dehors de ses propres réalisations, Tarantino a scénarisé et parfois aussi joué dans plusieurs autres films. Parmi eux, l’excellent « Une Nuit en Enfer » (From Dusk till Dawn) de Robert Rodriguez, dont la bande son est particulièrement rock. Tous les bikers de chaque Bandidos MC aimeraient avoir un Titti Twister pour y débuter leur soirée. C’est justement grâce à un orchestre tel que Call me Winston qu’on peut imaginer des événements, soirée thématique autour du cinéma et de l’univers décalé qu’on rencontre dans les films de Tarantino. La composition de Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute, avec section rythmique complète et section cuivres lui permet de couvrir une grande partie du répertoire utilisé dans les films de Tarantino. Un couple de chanteur/chanteuse permet encore d’élargir les possibilités. Outre le fait qu’ils sont tous d’excellents musiciens, les membres de Call me Winston développent un coté visuel « 100% Tarantinesque », avec un look inspiré des bandits de « Reservoir Dogs » ou des tueurs de « Pulp Fiction ». Construit comme un parcours musical à travers les films et la diversité de ses styles, le spectacle présenté par Call me Winston plaira à un large public. En outre, avec quelques clins d’œil çà et là, les fans de Tarantino se régaleront. "

"Andrew and his band are the BEST!! Our wedding planner recommended Andrew Thielen Big Band and his DJ and they were AWESOME! Our guests are still talking about how great they were. We had guests on the dance floor before dark, and we all danced the entire night! Andrew is very talented and we couldn't have gotten anything better!! Thank you so much!!"

"Reviewed on: 12/28/2024 Le'Mixx is an eclectic bunch of talented musicians that exceeded our expectations. We didn't want a band that would perform the go-to tracks of the wedding circuit. We wanted a seasoned band to perform live music in genres ranging from Funk to R&B. Their band showcased tunes with woodwind & brass instruments and live vocals from their lead singer and all performers. The band informed us of all their necessities in advance and arrived early. The band also provided all the necessary equipment, like microphones and speakers. Our young and wise guests found themselves all on the dance floor from the energy Le'Mixx created. "

"We had the pleasure last Friday evening of having the band play for my daughter-in-law's surprise birthday party! The band was truly amazing, very high energy and great vocals! They were so friendly they were like having additional guests. I danced every song with and without a partner LOL!!!! Great band, I would highly recommend for any occasion! "

"They were amazing! Played at our engagement party in the summer and were just what we were looking for! They did a good mix of quiet songs for the cocktail vibe we were after, and got everyone dancing at the end. Lovely guys, have recommended to my friends xx"

"MK & the Misters played at our Unity Festival, a charity food festival for the local community in east London. They were exceptional from start to finish, on time, set up well before the event began (even when everything else was running late), and the music was incredible. Even with heavy showers and a busy festival crowd, they were engaging, full of energy, and professional. As an event manager they are exactly the band you are looking for when it comes to professionalism, entertainment and energy. Will definitely be booking them in the future."
