"Harmie brought his full Cockney repertoire to the cavernous Cavalier pub in Whetstone and he had to fight his way through the crowds to get to the stage, arriving with his guitar, a collection of harmonicas, his cloth cap and braces and a mug of jellied eels. This was a real Cockney knees-up evening for the regulars, who included in their midst the Pearly King and Queen of Purley, or was it Finchley? Kicking off with Chas 'n Dave's raucous toe-tapper, "The Sideboard Song" the cheeky chappie tackled a lovely bunch of Cockney ditties, including Tommy Steele's showstopper, "What A Mouth"; an entertaining version of the old Billy Cotton (now there was a good old Cockney) number, "The Marrow Song"; and the singalong tunes, "Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner", "Show Me The Way To Go Home", "Meet Me At The Church" and the tasty, "Hot Meat Pie, Saveloys And Trotters". Highlights of the first set were Harmie's harmonica-led rendition of the Shadows' classic instrumental, "Apache" and, following a request from a punter, a countryfied version of "What Made Milwaukee Famous", which was part made famous by Rod Stewart. The lovable Cockney character was in humorous form too calling for 'security' when a man approached him for a request, and in telling the audience: "As this is Whetstone I thought we ought to do a song about infidelity," before launching into Gene Pitney's, "24 Hours From Tulsa", complete with harp solo. The second set brought more Cockney treats with Bernard Cribbins' "Right Said Fred"; Mike Jerome's clever, "Sling Yer Hook" and Chas and Dave's weepie, "Ain't No Pleasing You". The audience were loving Harmie by now, but soon he had to battle his way through the masses again to get to the Harmie-mobile and a trip home to the Old Kent Road."

"I saw Almaz at the Nantwich Food Festival and was incredibly impressed with the vocals and general musicianship. Loved the sound of the old Gibson guitar, such a sweet sound, never managed to get that sound out of any of mine. A great performance."

"I booked Kabelo for my 50th birthday party, and it was the best decision ever! His violin performance brought elegance and joy to the celebration. Kabelo was not only talented but also attentive to our musical preferences, tailoring his playlist to create a perfect blend of upbeat and soulful tunes. Our guests were absolutely enchanted, and many of them have already asked for his contact details for their own events. Kabelo, you were phenomenal!"

"Dagmar and her accompanist are the real deal. While deciding who to hire I watched her videos on here performing to larger crowds but we hired her to perform for just nine people prior to a dinner party and they did not disappoint. Dagmar's inimitable sultry vocals as well as her repertoire are perfect for this genre of music and her professional playful nature was felt by everyone. Her piano player was truly transcendent providing intervals of technique and skill you don't often find with accompanist. They also were very accommodating with song selection and timing during the evening. We all loved them!"

Dear Mark, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. Reading your review truly made our day. It was an absolute pleasure and an honor to perform for such a special celebration. Even though it was an intimate gathering, we felt an amazing connection with all of you, and that's exactly what live music is about for us: creating meaningful moments that people will remember. Your appreciation for both my singing and Michele's piano playing means more than you can imagine. We always strive to make each performance personal and memorable, so knowing that you enjoyed the repertoire, the atmosphere, and the overall experience is the greatest compliment we could receive. Thank you again for trusting us with such an important occasion. We wish you and your friends many more years of happiness, love, and beautiful celebrations together. We hope our paths will cross again someday! With gratitude, Dagmar & Michele

"We honestly couldn't have asked for a better band. From the planning stages, Sam was fantastic to work with—responsive, accommodating, collaborative, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping create exactly the atmosphere we wanted. What impressed us most was their willingness to make our wedding uniquely ours. They learned multiple songs especially for us that weren't even part of their normal repertoire, including our first dance. Hearing them perform it live was one of the most emotional moments of the entire day, and we're not sure we'll ever be able to hear that song again without thinking of their incredible performance. On top of that, they were unbelievably flexible with our venue setup. Rather than simply performing in one place, they generously performed across two separate locations, requiring them to pack down, move, and completely reset all of their equipment just so our vision could come to life seamlessly. They made what could have been a logistical headache look completely effortless. Sam, Flip and Marina's talent and energy were exceptional, creating the perfect soundtrack to our cocktail hour and first dance and leaving such a lasting impression on us and our guests. Thank you for helping us create a memory that we will treasure forever."
