"I booked Fifi for an event celebrating my business’s 20th Anniversary and I was so delighted with the whole evening. Fifi’s accordion playing created a beautiful ‘French style’ atmosphere for my soiree and her range and choice of pieces was perfect. Not only is Fifi’s playing magical she also has a rapport with the guests that lifts the event and makes everyone smile. She even included some impromptu East End sing along tunes to the delight of our guests. I would thoroughly recommend Fifi to provide professional, enjoyable and entertaining music for any event."

"Thanks for helping make Elisabeth's party a great success and keeping the 100 16 year olds entertained all night. Here is her review.... We hired DJ Sparx for my Sweet 16 and she was amazing! I gave her a playlist of songs I wanted and she cleverly mixed them up with some songs using her own knowledge of what works. She got even my shyest of friends up on the dance floor! We all had a wonderful night with some brilliant tunes, thank you very much DJ Sparx! "

"My musician Nikita was outstanding. He was punctual, well dressed, very respectful, and polite. He played the guitar at my wedding and brought such a beautiful sense of magic and serenity to the moment. It truly made the ceremony feel special. From the very beginning, he felt like someone we had known before -almost like part of our family. His demeanor is fresh, friendly, and very warm. We are so happy we found him. Having him play at our wedding was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much Nikita!"

"Carlo’s music is exceptional - it made our wedding so special and intimate, instantly bringing most our guests to tears. He also played during dinner which created the most romantic atmosphere. People often paused during their meal or conversation just to enjoy the music. Most importantly, Carlo was incredibly kind and approachable as a person and was so easy to communicate with while we were planning."

"Slava was awesome. He was punctual and communicative. With the stress of planning a wedding, you tend to get worried that everyone may cancel on you. He was in communication with me at all times which gave me peace of mind. His price is very reasonable and he is highly skilled with the violin. I would definitely hire Slava again in a heart beat."

"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? "
