5/5 from 291 reviews
Photo of nofing nofing "We just had a lovely evening listening to Nofing, with songs from artists as varied as Red Hot Chilli Peppers, the Beatles, Eurythmics, Ace of Base and even a really clever version of Down Under by Men at Work. Great evening of song memories, two wonderful voices, and some expert guitar playing. Would happily buy a CD and watch again. Merci Nofing!" Based in Ancenis, Pays de la Loire Region (169 miles from Brest) Sarah Kelly Photo of Mariachi Wey Mariachi Wey "AMAZING! so much energy and joy when you arrived on Thursday 10th at AICS Group! thank you for such an amazing time, had us all dancing on our feet..thank you!" Based in Bristol, England, United Kingdom (228 miles from Brest) Chris Asumadu - Corporate event Photo of Platform 1 Platform 1 "Platform 1 produce music that is uniquely beautiful. Like a bright red tie in a room full of beige, their songs have a brilliant uniqueness. With chord structures from Josh containing a subtle chromaticism blended with Martha's faultless vocal they are one of a kind." Based in Bristol, England, United Kingdom (228 miles from Brest) Dan James BGfm Radio Photo of Lindsay and Paul Lindsay and Paul "Paul and Lindsay were the perfect addition to my grandma’s big family reunion / birthday party. Their communication throughout the booking process was flawless and professional. The actual performance was spell-bounding . The tunes they played were so nostalgic and nobodies feet could stay still. All guests were very impressed, and The Publicans were the talk of the party. Thanks again Paul - we hope to see you again soon!
