Photo of Blackberries band Blackberries band "I was a guest at a company party and had the opportunity to hear the band. I had a good time like never before." Based in Sofia, Sofia-Capital Jonatan - Corporate event Photo of Smile Duo Smile Duo "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN This is to certify that Smile Duo has been employed by the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers, Bangkok, Thailand, as resident band at Lobby Lounge from 1st April 2008 until 24th April trill February 2009. During that period, they fulfilled their duty to our entire satisfaction, always showing interest in the success of our operation. Furthermore, they have also shown great enthusiasm and a positive attitude towards the hotel. They were always very cooperative and supportive of all events that we organized and participated in, making those events successful. They were very flexible in the times of performances and fitted in with our business levels during the good and bad times of the political unrest during the closure of the airports that affected a downturn in business. I will honestly recommend them to any hotel and definitely wish them well and every success in their future endeavours. They were definitely a pleasure to work with. Yours sincerely, ROYAL ORCHID SHERATON HOTEL & TOWERS" Based in Kazanlak, Stara Zagora (106 miles from Sofia) 17th March 2026 Chris De Silva, Director of Food & Beverage - Sheraton Bangkok Photo of The Skelters The Skelters "Those guys are one of the most amazing rock bands ever. They rock like hell." Based in Thessaloníki, Central Macedonia, Greece (143 miles from Sofia) 3rd January 2026 Nikolas Photo of Nony Borsan Nony Borsan "I was really blown away by this performance! Every cover was so real and full of emotion. You could feel the passion in every note and in every phrase, making classics sound brand new. Piano accompaniment was faultless, adding depth and that je ne sais quoi to make this experience truly elevate. So rarely do you find that someone stays true to the original song and puts such a beautiful spin on it.

Her voice is absolutely stunning, and she created such a warm and magical atmosphere throughout the night. She was professional, punctual, and very easy to work with. All of our guests were impressed and kept asking about her afterwards. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing live performance, and I would love to book her again in the future!" Based in Volos, Thessaly, Greece (231 miles from Sofia) Ελένη
