"We had a fantastic night of dancing and partying on our wedding day, thanks to a superb vinyl DJ from Jazzcentrale. We had a good consultation with the DJ beforehand. DJ Robert had a perfect sense of what worked best for our guests and knew exactly how to get the party started. Everyone was dancing happily, and we had a fantastic evening thanks to Robert."

"Waseme visited my Grandmother’s Rehabilitation Center and put on a show for the residents and I happened to be visiting at the time and I was touched by her warm spirit and beautiful voice. My grandmother and the other residents were amazed and enjoyed every minute of her performance. I will be booking her for one on one sessions for my grandmother. She is already asking to have her back!"

"Roasted turned into a whole vibe with PBSO! I came to Roasted expecting a chill night and PBSO turned it into a full-blown soulful concert. The way they transformed the space with live instrumentation, powerhouse vocals, and their smooth blend of funk, jazz, and R&B was unmatched. The energy was intimate but electric, and the crowd couldn’t get enough. Real music, real talent, real Nashville vibes."

"On behalf of the entire Board of Directors of ISNCC and the ICCN2023 Conference Committee, I want to extend a very warm thank you for making our dinner celebration at Citation a very special event. I have not laughed like that for a long time, and it was fun to see so many of my colleagues from across the globe enjoying themselves. I know that everyone had an absolute blast as well, and no broken ankles ☺ Your presence at our event made it even more special and we are grateful for your patience with us as we learned the steps, or maybe just made them up as we went along with the fun. Once again, thank you for taking the time to make ICCN2023 a success. We truly appreciate your support, and we look forward to connecting with you in the future. Next time I am in Scotland or any of my colleagues are asking for contacts, I will certainly suggest The Brogues."

"Hey Anastasia, I hope everything is going well with you. I couldn't send you any messages at all with all the hustle and bustle of the party, etc. But thank you so much for the perfect entrance music! It was perfect! And so many compliments you've received! 12:19 Really super super beautifully done, you made my entrance in the white dress exactly how I wanted it! My apologies again for not sending until Sunday; I've been so busy since the wedding. But I definitely wanted to thank you because you did a fantastic job! ❤️❤️❤️"

"Having Manu at our wedding this past July was the BEST decision. We traveled from the states with just our small children, parents, aunt, uncle and siblings for a very intimate wedding at our private villa. Even though there was only 14 total of us, Manu brought the best energy and made sure we had the most fun night of our lives! He is so so incredibly talented. He engages with the children and knows how to play so many great songs. I was recently at a wedding in the states with a saxophone player at the reception, who sounded terrible (sadly). That night I said to my husband WOW, Manu is just so so talented, we were SO lucky to have him at our special day. I wish he wasn’t so far away so he can play at other events for us! Thank you Manu!!! "

"IT WAS billed as A Night At The Musicals, and it was certainly a title which attracted a packed house to the Howden Park Centre last Friday evening when Darren Shaw and three dancers took the stage and sang and danced their hearts out. Two for the price of one took on a whole new meaning in this show in which we, the audience, were encouraged to join in with some of the well known songs. If you looked around, all you could see was a sea of smiling faces having a great time reminiscing and sharing some of their favourite moments from the musicals. This was courtesy of one very talented young man sporting a George Clooney haircut and diamond earring, some nifty costume changes, an incredible voice range and an endearing smile. Using a variety of spectacular, if sometimes dazzling lighting effects, and the obligatory dry ice creating an atmosphere that makes the singer appear suspended in clouds, the show began with a spotlight into which sauntered Mr Shaw in top hat and tails singing On The Street Where You Live, from My Fair Lady. Once again the excellent acoustics of the Brian Duguid Theatre played host to emotive, full orchestral music courtesy of impeccably timed tapes. Maybe it was just a shade loud in the first half which saw something very unusual and totally original. Everyone is familiar with The Sound of Music and the recent Connie Fisher version of The Hills are alive. Enter Darren Shaw looking splendid in lederhosen, like a denizen of Austria and straight from the Alps. To everyone's amazement and some barely concealed audience mirth, he became a soprano and made the hills come alive in his own special way. As the show progressed, the format of two songs by Mr Shaw interspersed with dance routines by the hardworking dancers began to win us over. For the first time ever, the famous duet from Grease, You're The One That I Want, was sung by Mr Shaw who performed the male and female parts. Using his falsetto voice – an attribute which was once taught in Italy in the middle ages resulting in the singers being known as castratto (please, don't ask) – Shaw sang the SuBo hit from Les Miserables as he duetted with himself in I Know Him So Well. In The Phantom of the Opera sequence he once again sang the famous duet which takes Christine, the soprano and The Phantom to perform, all by himself. As for the three dancers, two glamorous blondes and a bonny brunette, they proved their versatility by dancing a variety of styles from musical comedy to modern with a brave attempt at Irish River Dancing which drew cheers from the audience. The finale saw Shaw resplendent in a mint green sparkling shirt and matching flares with the dancers in glittering jump suits so there was no doubt that we would hear something from Mamma Mia and we certainly did. This night at the theatre was indeed a feast of tunes from the musicals which at first, thanks to Mr Shaw's dual voice, seemed a little hard to digest but soon became an acquired taste."
