"We used Central Avenue Band at our wedding last month and the whole experience was exceptional. In the lead up to the wedding the communication and organisation was first class. Then on the night the band really did rock. They put on the best show and the dance floor was full. Thank you so much!"

"Amazing performer and great musician Stephen Wilkinson is one of the most amazing bagpipers that I have ever had the great pleasure to listen to. He made our graduation all that more special. Bringing the audience to tears with amazing grace during our fallen hero salute was breathtaking. We will be using Mr. Wilkinson for many many years to come."

"At first we were unsure whether to book entertainment for our drinks reception, it was a very last minute decision - BUT WE ARE SO GLAD WE DID IT! Morgan and Melville added so much to the day and we will never forget all of our guests singing along to Mysterious Girl - it really broke the ice and created such a brilliant mood for the rest of the day. Thanks guys. We will be recommending you to all of our friends. "

"Jan was absolutely fantastic from booking through to the main event. He kept our guests entertained all afternoon and evening going from a relaxed chilled vibe on the afternoon to playing along with a racaucous singing waiter who together had everyone on their feet (and chairs) and then keeping the beat uplifted through the evening celebrations. A very talented saxophonist and a very polite and lovely person. Really brought something special to our special day and our guests are still raving about him now. An overall fabulous guy and so pleased he shared our day with us."

"10/10 - Excellent! As a wedding manager, it is always such a joy to work with suppliers who not only excel in their role but who are also genuinely wonderful people. Mark was an absolute pleasure to have at the wedding yesterday, he was professional, calm, and incredibly positive throughout the entire evening. His presence made a real difference to the atmosphere, not only due to his incredible saxophone playing, but his equally incredible persona, energy and vibe. I cannot recommend him highly enough!"

"I don't have enough words for how incredible Laura was at our wedding. She learnt two songs for us including my (slightly strange!) request to walk down the aisle to Arctic Monkeys, and it was just fabulous. She played for hours - far longer than I anticipated and was perfect in every way. Her level of talent is insane and all our guests absolutely raved about her. Thank you Laura for making our wedding so special, we couldn't be more thankful."

"As a music journalist, I am someone well used to hearing performances covering the whole spectrum of ability, from very talented, to no talent whatsoever; mainly on the working circuit, encountering much from the bottom end of the scale, the flaws of which seemingly pass by, or go over the heads of the audience, mediocre musical acts often gaining acceptance despite (or because of) their lack of any talent whatsoever. So, when on a random whim, I booked MAYHEM into The Old Crown, Hayes, I was pleasantly surprised to come across that jewel one constantly seeks: a light hidden in the bushel, an act of great quality. Don’t get me wrong, on the surface, MAYHEM are basically just another covers band, with certainly not much more to offer in terms of choice of material than others treading the same circuit. The difference though, is in the depth of thought in the vocal arrangements, and the attention to detail in the performance of the songs. Someone in the band has true musical knowledge. The way the vocals are arranged and used is no accident, and the music has a depth and surety that is pure class. Carol’s voice is unique, and at many points conveys rare emotion for those who can hear. The two voices are a happy accident of coincidence; Carol’s rather treble voice, Billy’s gruff baritone, both interesting voices taken in isolation, but together producing a sound that is perhaps greater than the sum of its parts. The quality of both singers shows itself also in the faultlessly correct intonation, the thrilling blend and invention of the harmonies, the search for expression in the vocals, the subtle use of the arrangements to produce expression. Most of these subtleties are of course lost on the general public, but the band still have enough battle-hardened experience and know-how to ride out any waves of indifference, and overcome the hardest heart with a friendly approach to their clientele, patiently trying out various styles and eras, constantly striving to reach their listeners, despite a kind of yearning in the music for serious recognition. Personally, I found it somewhat sad that a talented band like this has to resort to some popular (and bland) material, but one must bow to reality, and work is work. Still, the musicians didn’t just accept the status quo of this material; they always had a few surprises in store in the way they approached any song, however scraped from the bottom of the barrel. Carol’s voice sounded at its best on songs like “SUMMER OF ’69” and “I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT”, but she shone through on harder songs too, like “LIVING ON A PRAYER” and “DON’T BRING ME DOWN”. Billy didn’t sing quite as many lead lines, but when he did, it was with a power and confidence that knew just how best to carry the melody, and the strength of harmony singing was in a different league from the average one would expect to hear in a situation like this. On “Living La Vida Loca” the dual vocals were outstanding, perhaps the most equal blend of the day, with other such highlights for me being “Don’t Stop me Now” and “I Wanna Know what Love is”. The locals however enjoyed some of the lighter material more, such as “Rockabilly Rebel”, square dancing their way through the afternoon with great whoops and hollers, playing their part in a very pleasant day in a very pleasant pub. There was a humorous moment when the lads at the bar joined in with “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” all pointing and dancing in the manner of Tom Cruise in “Top Gun”! A vivid sight to behold, for sure! The day ended with a raucous rendition of “Rockin’ All Over The World”, the two singers showing that they could rock it with the best of them when the chips are down. Can’t wait to see this band again. (10 / 10) Andrew Staines "
