Photo of Retrô Five Retrô Five "Wow! What can I say. These guys are fantastic. They are so accommodating, they play beautiful music, everyone was dancing. Honestly they made our wedding so special. We are so grateful. Thank you!" Based in Palermo, Sicily (121 miles from Messina) 11th July 2026 Danny & Amy - Wedding Sicily Photo of Colourblind Colourblind "Excellent setup and sound quality. Band comes equipped with their own top shelf PA system, great vibes and fantastic musicians! Definitely recommended!" Based in Mosta, Il-Mosta, Malta (170 miles from Messina) 29th August 2026 M - Wedding Photo of Myky Petillo Myky Petillo "Myky is so kind and professional in each step of the organisation process as he is an amazing explosion of energy on stage!! He offers a very wide choice of songs and each performance is heartfelt and unforgettable: the remarkable vocal quality is accompanied by scenic outfits and great staging!" Based in Naples, Campania (196 miles from Messina) 13th July 2026 Blandina - 2 events: a private wedding and the recital of a dance academy Photo of Kashmir Kashmir "A quartet of professional musicians able to take you on a musical journey across decades, styles and emotions with ease and great taste. We heard them live at my wife’s 40th birthday party, and they managed to turn a private celebration into a tailor-made concert, engaging and refined. Their repertoire is wide and well curated, ranging from international classic rock to Italian songwriting, including pop, blues and timeless classics. Each song is reinterpreted with personality, while always respecting the original, and arranged to highlight the balance of the quartet. Sacha’s voice stands out, supported by a solid, dynamic and never intrusive instrumental section. They also showed an excellent ability to read the audience: although we had agreed on a slightly different playlist, they quickly sensed the crowd’s taste and adapted it elegantly, choosing the right songs at the right moments. The music accompanies, moves and brings people together — never just background music, but never overpowering either. It’s exactly where it should be. Great musicians, great music and a voice that truly connects. In our opinion, Kashmir are the ideal choice for anyone looking for quality, atmosphere and authenticity. We received countless compliments." Based in Benevento, Campania (207 miles from Messina) 27th December 2025 Fabrizio - 40th birthday Photo of Steve Wonder Steve Wonder "They just finished a live performance at my venue... simply fantastic: perfect sound and an impeccable voice, at the level of the best live performances! Bravo to everyone!!!" Translated from Italian Based in Andria, Apulia (214 miles from Messina) Luigina Scarale Photo of DanyDuo DanyDuo "Extraordinary voice wonderful music with Roberto and his sax, engaging, kind, available to satisfy every type of request. The right choice to accompany any type of event" Translated from Italian Based in Ortona, Abruzzo (294 miles from Messina) Rosina Piergiovanni
