Photo of Rocking Elvis by Serafino Alberti Rocking Elvis by Serafino Alberti "Rocking Elvis was a surprise gift for our mum's 80th birthday. He played a 30min solo gig to a very small crowd indoors and he was everything we could have hoped for. Very entertaining and incredibly engaging, particularly with mum. She absolutely loved him. Serafino is obviously a very genuine, kind and thoughtful person, staying back to talk to mum - he made her feel particularly special. Highly recommended!"

You were truly wonderful. Right from the very first song, you set such an inviting and lively tone, and your fantastic selection of music kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. We also deeply appreciated how warm and accommodating you were with playing on when requested—it really made the evening extra special. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish, and I would recommend you without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional entertainment. Thank you for helping us create such wonderful memories; it was worth every bit of investment.

Photo of Bassline Bassline "If you’re looking for a band for any kind of function or event, stop looking and just hire Bassline Studios. They played at our wedding recently and were just incredible. From creating intimate moments in our ceremony, to a relaxed vibe during our cocktail hour, to the best dance party at our reception - they did it all. I’ve never seen a band engage with a crowd so much, as what they did with us all on the dance floor. They helped us have the most amazing night, and our guests are still raving about how great they were. I knew this band was going to be great though even before the night. Sometimes you meet people and get such a good feeling from them that you just know you can trust them to do a good job. Bernadette was like that for us. She was a delight to meet with prior to the wedding, and was so lovely and flexible with us, as we had to navigate through 3 wedding attempts due to COVID. We can’t thank her enough for her genuine care and enthusiasm that she gave us for our wedding. I cant recommend Bassline Studios highly enough."
