"I cannot recommend the lovely Almaz enough. They played a family party for us and were the perfect chilled out vibe we wanted and needed. Jo has the most beautiful voice and Barney’s guitar playing is just the best. They are a perfect compliment to each other. I am a big fan. Thank you so very much for the music. Long may it play xxx"

"Everyone’s guilty secret, playing every 80s and 90’s cover you want to hear. Their only visit this year - so don’t miss them. The Peas are simply the best duo on the circuit. No better way to spend your Bank Holiday Saturday evening! The Bell Inn - Cotswolds 5/19 "

"The Crowd Pleasers played our company’s 15th anniversary celebration and were consummate professionals, with a lively, well-considered set that soon got everyone up dancing. A pleasure to interact with and a no-brainer choice for your function if you want great, well-known music performed with energy and class."

"Since l was little I remember my nan taking me to the pub to watch the live bands and enjoying all of it and it's been so long since I've seen anything on the same level so watching at the cross lances on remembrance Sunday 2019 it was like going back in time. This band is amazing friendly and bring out all the originals that I didn't even realise I have missed. So thank you. Stephanie 34 Hounslow."

"Harmie brought his full Cockney repertoire to the cavernous Cavalier pub in Whetstone and he had to fight his way through the crowds to get to the stage, arriving with his guitar, a collection of harmonicas, his cloth cap and braces and a mug of jellied eels. This was a real Cockney knees-up evening for the regulars, who included in their midst the Pearly King and Queen of Purley, or was it Finchley? Kicking off with Chas 'n Dave's raucous toe-tapper, "The Sideboard Song" the cheeky chappie tackled a lovely bunch of Cockney ditties, including Tommy Steele's showstopper, "What A Mouth"; an entertaining version of the old Billy Cotton (now there was a good old Cockney) number, "The Marrow Song"; and the singalong tunes, "Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner", "Show Me The Way To Go Home", "Meet Me At The Church" and the tasty, "Hot Meat Pie, Saveloys And Trotters". Highlights of the first set were Harmie's harmonica-led rendition of the Shadows' classic instrumental, "Apache" and, following a request from a punter, a countryfied version of "What Made Milwaukee Famous", which was part made famous by Rod Stewart. The lovable Cockney character was in humorous form too calling for 'security' when a man approached him for a request, and in telling the audience: "As this is Whetstone I thought we ought to do a song about infidelity," before launching into Gene Pitney's, "24 Hours From Tulsa", complete with harp solo. The second set brought more Cockney treats with Bernard Cribbins' "Right Said Fred"; Mike Jerome's clever, "Sling Yer Hook" and Chas and Dave's weepie, "Ain't No Pleasing You". The audience were loving Harmie by now, but soon he had to battle his way through the masses again to get to the Harmie-mobile and a trip home to the Old Kent Road."

"We did an outdoor ceremony for about 80 people. I provided a complex set-list, with timings for the key moments within the event, and they did absolutely fabulously. We had a few curveballs, because my family is a bit shameless-- as they went off-script. The musicians held poise, rolled with the punches, and executed the event as if it was all part of the plan. From initial discussions, to planning, to payments, to execution, Duo Maritimo was flawless. Thank you so much for making the ceremony a truly memorable, and magical event. Highly recommended!"

"Luís was hired for a surprise proposal. He was part of the surprise and played in a chapel in Palácio da Penha in Sintra city with his harmonica and guitar. His interpretation of Bob Dylan and the Beatles' song was fantastic. The bride said yes ❤️"

"I loved working with Dan and the crew. They showed up super early to make sure they had the exact location. Sound check was done before guests started arriving and best of all, they were totally self efficient which is key for wedding planners on the day of the wedding. Their music performance was impeccable and so well sort out. Totally took charge and connected with my bride on her music selection. Would highly recommend working with this amazing team over and over again. Suher - Yelp"

"Fantastic musicians! They played excellent music to our wedding. Our guests were amazed! Really helpful and flexible regarding songs, and even sent us some songs in advance so it was easier for us to decide. Professional musicians that we would recommend to everybody who wants to have the little extra in their wedding. Thanks for making our day perfect!"
