"We booked Goldsworth Gerry on a recommendation and we were so pleased we did. The band made our staff Christmas party really enjoyable, I have never seen so many people dancing all night long. They played a wide variety of music which kept everyone entertained. I would definitely book them again either for work or for a private function. Thanks for making our Christmas party a great night."

"Thank you Hayley and Lee for making our showroom party a successful and memorable event for our guests. You were everything I had hoped for and much, much more. Your beautiful interpretation of some classic songs was the perfect way to welcome our guests and help set the scene for the rest of the evening. I would have no hesitation in booking you again for future events and I would highly recommend you to others. And thank you so much for personalising your set by singing one of my favourite songs at such short notice. That really was the highlight of the evening for me personally! "

"Jools composed and remotely recorded violin sections for 3 of my tracks: Just For a Day; Roman 7; Boneyard. The tracks have an American influence but would fall under the indie genre. Essentially, the remit for Jools was to 'bulk them out' with strings. Although I had not actually met Jools in person (and still haven't), he was extremely responsive when communicating via email and therefore didn't need to meet. Before agreeing, he encouraged me to listen to his back catalogue - I was impressed with the breadth and depth of genres that Jools had worked with and I was pleased to learn he had worked with a couple of acquaintances of mine- namely The Birmingham Philharmonic Orchestra and Chris Tye. Listening to his work, I was impressed by his knack around texturising songs- in my experience, strings can sometimes feel isolated from the rest of the instrumentation and I am aware that some string players find this aspect of composition challenging. Throughout the process, Jools ensured he had a secure understanding around my expectations. This brought about discussion around dynamics, chord progression technique (tremolo, tied sections etc). Although he was happy to read from transcript, I felt that his take on composition would be much better than mine, so he kindly agreed to compose the parts himself. After recording the first version, he sent me recordings via YouTube- he even went to the trouble of including a running text commentary of his thoughts within the video itself. This meant that I could give better feedback and bounce off his ideas. I was especially amazed by the turnaround (3 days to complete the process) as I had not set any deadlines or ball-park timeframes. Jools' playing is technically perfect and he has an exceptional ear for harmony and dynamics. e.g. He knew not to play for the sake of playing, and when to build to crescendo. He was able to add a range of chords, hooks and new melodies to the song. In Boneyard, the melody in the instrumental chorus ended up becoming the dominant hook- this was totally unplanned. Much like his violin playing, the overall recording quality was very professional. If you are looking for an outstanding string player who is both technical and visionary, Jools would be my number one recommendation."

"We can’t say enough great things about The Lorean who played at our wedding! From the very first song to the final one, they nailed it. The energy, the talent, and the way they read the room was spot on. Many of our guests commented on how amazing the band was, they played many high-energy hits that got everyone moving, every moment felt well timed and well performed. It wasn't easy picking a band, we watched some online videos/reviews, but very happy we ended up with them: If you're looking for a band that brings the fun, great hits, and people will remember – this is the one to book!"
