Photo of Emi Hall- Singer Emi Hall- Singer "Emi came to our event today and was amazing. Great mix of songs and sounded amazing, thank you! xx" 22nd July 2026 Kerry Ryan-Moorhouse - Pub Photo of Krystal Live Band Krystal Live Band "This band is simply fabulous! I organized a party with about 120 people, young and the most "old" and I have never seen such an atmosphere. The next day my guests only talked about that. The musical level is stunning, the set list is great, the sound is exceptional (it plays loud but you never have the impression that it hits your ears. I wonder how they come to this result!) The beautiful light show coordinated with the music. In short, great art. And not to spoil anything they are just adorable." 3rd August 2026 Dominique Photo of Watusi Watusi "Watusi always FUN, professional, authentic, real, ontime, flexible, entertaining, interactive and a joy to work with!" 5th August 2026 J Towry - Party Photo of Harmony Highway Band Harmony Highway Band "The band is really good...
