Cat's Claw Ceilidh Band
"Wow, what a wonderful evening! Last Friday night was so much fun and it was such a real pleasure to collaborate with you all at Cat's Claw. It was a magical night and it was lovely to see the two worlds of music come together so successfully. Our musicians from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales very much enjoyed working with you all and it was great to hear that you too all had a great time. I also think that from the audience's reaction that everyone who was present also very much enjoyed the evening. In particular, my Mum absolutely LOVED the evening and was blown away by hearing all of the music that she loves so much played so brilliantly! Sincere thanks for your invaluable contribution to such a special evening celebrating St David's Day."
The Deltas
"The best birthday surprise possible! I knew my husband was going to organise something special as he always likes to go all our but this was the icing on the cake! The band even performed a special coldplay song at his request for me! I feel like a very lucky lady!"

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."
FiddleBop
"FiddleBop... transform gypsy jazz stylings into a welcome hamper of swing..."
Flatworld
