Review Centre: Dance Bands

"They have been at our chateau for a wedding and it was great. First, the guys having a great time that they can play music with each other. So it is a pleasure to see them play. And they play very well. Nice covers and they can play a lot of songs. The bride and groom ask to play a certain song for the first dance, and they manage to learn that particular song with an hour. Just an example of the flexibility of the guys. If you would like to have a band from France; which you can trust that they will be on time and make your party, please contact Valentin. I’m sure you have a great party! Thanks Ed and FixTheMusic for helping me and Valentin and his colleagues."

"I wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much we appreciated your playing at the wedding, it certainly went well with so many folk up dancing… Thank you also for accommodating a last minute change to the first dance… Thank you again, we would have no hesitation in recommending you to others."

"David Reed - Belleville Intelligencer Tony Vani has been making music in the Belleville area for decades. Folks in the music community know him as a versatile performer, cranking out blues and classic rock with the Stir, gospel blues with Tony Vani and the Holy Blues Band, solo performances and some work with slide guitarist Kenny Pauze. Tony is a respected singer and guitarist, but it is his harmonica playing that really grabs me by the throat. The title track on Tony's, Her Blues CD, is a mournful confession with harmonica lines that seem to emanate from the depths of a troubled soul. The best description for his playing is “authentic.” I hear flashes of Charlie Musselwhite and the immortal Little Walter on a few tracks. (I’m also a sucker for a little tremolo on the guitar.) Other highlights include Die Trying, Still Got Her Soul, Price of Love, Catch You When You Fall and the hopeful Sun Will Rise. Tony Vani has got something truly special with his harmonica sound and he has lovingly crafted this collection over seven long years. You should check out this record."

"Benga was our first pick as a band. Since we saw their videos, they really stand out to us! They were super fun group of people, very professional, and of course, the music itself was out of this world! Thanks, guys, you were amazing. Also, Ben, the DJ that played drums, was AMAZING! Daniel"

"Great band added immensely to our party. They even helped me unload my truck and help setup. They are very talented, high energy musicians. Their playlist was extensive and varied and really got people dancing La Bamba had a lot of dancers on the floor. By our request they started with Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love. They didn't disappoint. We are very happy that we heard them play last fall at Darkheart Brewery and were able to book them for our party "

"Absolutely fantastic Ceilidh band. They had a break down en route to our wedding and still somehow managed to get there and start on time and pull off a marvellous show. Very accommodating with what tunes and dances we wanted and also with what we wanted to be played later that evening. All in all absolutely delighted."

"Mr. Swing’s Dance Orchestra performed at our wedding at the Hospitium in York and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect band. The swing band was fantastic at reading the room and getting everyone up and dancing. All of our guests have raved about how amazing they were, and we totally agree. If you want to make your special day even more memorable, definitely hire Mr. Swing."

"We hired Soul Boulevard for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing! They brought an incredible energy to our wedding party, all the band members were so talented! Matt really took the time before our wedding to work out exactly what we wanted for the big day from set lists to the first dance song. If you’re looking for a fun funk/disco band for your wedding these are your guys!"
