"Serena & LoveAffaire Duo were absolutely wonderful. Serena’s voice is elegant, emotional, and perfectly suited for weddings and refined events. Their music created a warm, intimate atmosphere and flowed beautifully throughout the day. Professional, reliable, and incredibly talented — they were a pleasure to work with, and many of our guests complimented the music. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality live music with soul and style."

"Musical highlight of the Wedding Petra performed at our wedding in July. We discussed in the months before the wedding a set list of songs including some very specific songs dear to us which she was able to accommodate and performed beautifully on the day. She made the ceremony itself and the time before and after extra special. The overall performance was stunning. Many guests complimented Petra, from her great musical talent to her amazing hair & and make-up, 10 out of 10! Highly recommend"

"Kazz Khalif has been the trail blazer from the start of ZHF in 2023 and has become a not to be missed artist at the event. His connection and interactiveness with the audience, especially the children is electrifying and infectious. His performances lights up stage as shown by audiences crowding to listen and dance with him. He is easy to get along with. We look forward to working with him .

"Denis Cook is the perfect pub and bar-room entertainer: genial, charming and chatty with a charismatic personality, so it's not surprising that the sumptuous Haven Wine Bar & Restaurant in Whetstone booked Denis for several gigs, since he's the ideal 'mine host' for this exclusive venue, encouraging the guests to join in and have a fun time. With many strings to his bow, in addition to singing Denis plays guitar, mandolin, ukulele, harmonica and kazoo, but his greatest claim to fame is that he taught his nephew Norman Cook, alias Fatboy Slim, to DJ! (Denis has been 'spinning discs' since 1969 and the young Norman was soon hooked on music too!) Though perhaps not the greatest instrumentalist to perform on stage, Denis more than makes up for this with his highly tuneful singing voice, careful selection of material and infectious personality. Skill and experience gained through years of DJing shines through in Denis's easy command of banter between numbers, putting many other pub acts to shame, and his sheer dedication to entertaining others certainly evidenced in this three-hour gig undertaken with hardly a break. Starting with the Eagles' country ditty "Peaceful Easy Feeling" and a stripped-down version of the Foundations' "Baby Now That I've Found You" guests knew they were in for something special, loving the laid-back, peaceful easy listening style and the fact that the music was at a very reasonable volume: no blasting speakers here! Then, after just three songs, self-accompanied by guitar, Denis popped out his mandolin for a very enjoyable rendition of the Kinks' "Tired Of Waiting For You" and Steve Earle's Irish classic "Galway Girl" before switching to the ukulele for a charming interpretation of McFly's wistful "Love Is Easy" but, in addition, you'll find plenty of variety in Denis's act, ranging from party numbers like the Mavericks' "Dance The Night Away" and Roxy Music's "Let's Stick Together" to country classics such as Glen Campbell's "Rhinestone Cowboy" and John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads" to up-to-date material like George Ezra's catchy "Budapest" as well as some good old rock 'n roll. And - how many performers would be brave enough to attempt Rupert Holmes' excellent "Escape" (The Pina Colada Song); the late Ronnie Lane's rocking "Ooh La La" or Billy Ray Cyrus' witty comedy number "Where Am I Gonna Live?!" Mr Cook will be returning to the Haven soon and my advice is that you might want to reserve a table, since the place is likely to be well be packed in anticipation of this great entertainer.

Each member of the band showcased their incredible talent, making it clear that they’re one of the best Indian oak fusion bands out there. It was a fantastic night filled with great music and good vibes!"

"James was absolutely perfect for our event. We asked him to provide background music during a party and everyone how commented on how good he was. he added to the party without dominating it, which is exactly what we asked for. He was punctual and very professional and had a great set list which he tailored to our requests. I would definitely use him again for a function and would highly recommend him. "

"We recently had the pleasure of booking Aamir, a talented Pakistani singer based in Lisbon, for a special birthday evening at our home, and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience! Aamir’s performance was nothing short of magical. His voice, rich and soulful, brought a beautiful blend of nostalgia and emotion to the evening. He performed a stunning selection of songs by two legendary artists Kishore Kumar, and Jagjit Singh, that took everyone present on a trip down memory lane. From the classic romantic hits of Kishore Kumar to the soulful ghazals of Jagjit Singh, Aamir’s performance was flawless and filled with such passion that it made the night truly special. What made the evening even more amazing was the personal touch he brought. Aamir was not only incredibly talented but also a warm and engaging presence. He interacted with the guests, making the performance feel more intimate and personal, which added an extra layer of charm. If you're looking for someone who can elevate any event with beautiful music and a memorable performance, I can highly recommend Aamir. He turned your event celebration into a night you will always remember, and his music still echoes in our hearts!"

"I booked Mel for my wife’s 40th and she was absolutely amazing. We wanted a 90s dance theme and Mel really made this happen, even learning a few of my requests which were quite niche, before the event! She was an explosion of energy and fun from the first second of the first song. Superb value for money!"
