"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our event on Friday. You were so helpful on the lead up and at the event you and your friend played beautifully. It was reassuring to know you had played at the venue before. Guests absolutely loved you and the music was perfect for our event! Thank you! "

"Für eine exklusive Abendveranstaltung in Basel waren wir auf der Suche nach einem Pianisten, der sowohl musikalisch auf höchstem Niveau spielt als auch ein Gespür für ein anspruchsvolles Publikum hat. Dieser Pianist hat all unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Schon beim Aufbau und Soundcheck hat man seine Professionalität gespürt. Alles war bestens organisiert, und er hat sich flexibel an die Gegebenheiten vor Ort angepasst. Während der Veranstaltung selbst hat er eine Atmosphäre geschaffen, die perfekt zum eleganten Rahmen gepasst hat. Seine Musik war stilvoll, abwechslungsreich und immer genau im richtigen Moment präsent. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns seine Fähigkeit, spontan auf die Stimmung im Raum zu reagieren. Er hat das Publikum förmlich „gelesen“ und seine Stücke entsprechend ausgewählt. Diese Qualität findet man nur bei sehr erfahrenen Musikern. Viele unserer Gäste haben uns im Anschluss explizit auf den Pianisten angesprochen und seine Leistung gelobt. Es war ein echtes Highlight des Abends. Wir würden ihn jederzeit wieder engagieren und können ihn ohne jede Einschränkung weiterempfehlen."

"Cerimonia emozionante e divertente Con Demetrio c’è stato subito feeling. Ha capito fin da subito che tipo di cerimonia volevamo, semplice ed emozionante e così è stato. Ha scritto un discorso molto bello su come fosse nata la nostra storia e vari aneddoti che hanno fatto commuovere, ma anche divertire, noi e i nostri invitati. Consiglio vivamente Demetrio perché è un grande ascoltatore, simpatico e professionale. Lo ringraziamo ancora per la cerimonia perché è stata esattamente tutto ciò che volevamo!"

"I was nervous about booking a band because there are so many options out there, but I wish I had never spent any time worrying. Gatsby Cats are EXCELLENT. They surpassed any possible expectation I had, and everyone at the wedding loved them. Their set list was perfect and the musicians were genuinely nice professionals. Thank you so much."

"Jessica La brought pure magic to our wedding day with her enchanting piano performance. Her music, a perfect blend of classic tunes and contemporary hits, set the scene for a relaxed and delightful atmosphere during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Jessica's ability to cater to our millennial crowd with throwbacks to the '90s was truly impressive. Throughout the planning process, she was a breeze to work with—communicative, open-minded, and quick to respond to our requests. Her stylish and classy demeanor added an extra touch of elegance to our event. We couldn't have asked for a better pianist to bring our wedding day dreams to life. Thank you, Jessica, for making our day absolutely perfect!"

"From start to finish, Danger Zone were a delight to work with. Great pre-event communications ensured everything was arranged beforehand. This was followed by a fantastic performance on the night. Danger Zone certainly know how to fill a dance floor . . . and how to keep it filled! Their choice of songs was perfect for the wide age range of revellers, all delivered in a relentless sequence of favourite songs to dance to. The band were very professional and friendly and were happy to work with us to ensure that a brilliant night was had by all. I can't recommend Danger Zone highly enough. Thanks again. "

"We booked Horizon for our villa wedding reception in Estepona and they were absolutely outstanding. They handled everything from our relaxed acoustic afternoon music to the full 6-piece energetic band setup in the evening. The transition was flawless. They nailed the setlist, mixing classic anthems with modern hits that kept everyone on their feet. If you want your wedding guests dancing all night, you need to book this band."

"It’s quite possible to stroll right past the place while navigating West Kinzie Street, just a wee bit north of the Chicago River, and not even realize it. The only concrete clue that you’ve arrived at your destination is the sight of a black canvas entrance emblazoned with the curious moniker of the joint. It’s called Untitled, and that handle is purposely nondescript, only adding to the overall mystique of the nightspot. Head down a short flight of stairs, say hello to the doorman (there’s no cover), and you’ll find that Untitled offers a welcoming hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the Loop, which sits only a few blocks south on the other side of the river. During the Prohibition era, speakeasies dotted the Windy City landscape where those so inclined could quaff an alcoholic libation or two while securely hidden away from the long arm of the law. But those long-ago speaks were never this spacious or glamorously appointed. Make no mistake: this is a classy operation all the way, so you won’t spy any tennis shoes or sweatsuits sullying the polished dance floor. When the Rhythm Rockets take the stage at Untitled, as they’ve been doing on the second Wednesday evening of every month for a while now starting at 7:30 p.m. and going strong for three hours, the joint proceeds to jump to a barrage of eminently danceable rhythms. The music meshes perfectly with the delicious food and cool drinks that can be ordered by summoning your lovely waitress. You can dine on such delicacies as steak tartare, sea scallops, and mushroom tortellini, and top your feast off with a scrumptious slice of whoopee pie, a blend of dark chocolate-espresso cake, peanut butter mousse, and powdered sugar. There was a fair amount of dancing happening during the Rhythm Rockets’ most recent Untitled engagement, but most of the sizable crowd was content to soak in the swinging soiree at their tables or from their barstools. The sound quality was exceptionally crisp and full-bodied all night long; Dave Downer’s concise guitar licks sliced through the air with authority, and Nicole Kestler’s delightful vocals were mixed at precisely the right level for maximum enjoyment as she sailed through longtime Rhythm Rockets favorites that included Little Esther’s “Oo Papa Do,” the relaxed pre-war blues lament “Trouble In Mind,” and the band’s scorching arrangement of Ruth Brown’s “(Mama) He Treats Your Daughter Mean” that they often use as a set closer. The sizzling sax section (tenors Michael Bielecki and Vince Salerno and baritone Justin Kierans) was tight and right throughout the evening, and the rock-solid combination of bassist Lou Marini and drummer Mark Fornek kept the grooves hitting on all cylinders. Mark usually sings a song or two on each set prior to Nicole’s entrance, and now he’s previewing a few Chicago blues numbers that he’s also singing with Dave’s new side band, the Five Alibis. Vince switched over to harmonica to give Little Walter’s ominous “I Don’t Play” an authentic Chicago blues sound, although the horns returned when Mark launched into Junior Wells’ playful shuffle “The Things I’d Do For You.” If you’re anywhere near River North on the second Wednesday of this or any month in the near future, take a walk down Kinzie and seek out Untitled, even if you have to look hard for it. It’s altogether worth the effort--and a great place to check out the Rhythm Rockets doing what they do best! "

"Please receive my sincere thanks for the flawless organisation of the IRSE Annual Dinner last Friday. This evening will remain in my family's memory as very special for the rest of our lives. Please also extend my thanks Paul, the Toastmaster, who did an excellent job in an at times “adverse environment”, and who also took care of the children's music playing in a very gentle way. "

I very much appreciate the President's remarks. I'm always prepared to 'settle' a noisy crowd of guests and focus attention on to the parts of an event which matter. I look forward to the next Annual event! Toastmaster Paul
