The New Mojos
"I’d like to live a 5 star review for the New Mojo band fronted by Paul and Jo. They played at my wedding at Hever Castle this last summer and did an excellent job. They traveled all the way from Norfolk to Kent. They didn’t only play but they supported us in other ways through the wedding. They all looked amazing and they played beautifully even if we run out of time due to the wedding running late. I’d like to say a very huge thank you to them from the bottom of my heart."
The Sax Sound
"Absolutely amazing, created such a great atmosphere on our boat party and made it very memorable!"
D.Banana Band
"We were absolutely thrilled to have this band play at our wedding reception! We requested reggae love songs because my partner and I both love old school reggae and their reggae rhythms were infectious, everyone was up dancing from the very first song, young and old. They played such a perfect mix of classic and well-loved tunes also. They sounded amazing, and were so professional and friendly throughout .They really made our day feel so special and joyful, we can’t recommend them enough! Thank you for giving us such wonderful memories."
Vintage Sound Collective
"Amazing band. Saw them for the first time at the Woodley Carnival this weekend, and they had young and old up on their feet with their high energy soul funk
material...and as for their versions of Tina Turner songs, that was Tina up there on the stage.
Brilliant."
Justin Holcroft
"Justin’s performance was intimate and stunning at the same time. Great communication, very effective preparation and coverage by someone who can play the sax, from Jazz, swing to lounge and bar background music. We would highly recommend Justin to anyone interested in high-quality, paired with a down-to-earth mindset and to-the-point delivery."
South West Band
"We wanted something a little different for our wedding — not just the typical DJ playing the same songs on repeat. Since we absolutely love live music, we knew the band had to be something special. When I came across South West Band on Instagram, I was instantly blown away. From the first clip I saw, I knew they were the ones. Not only are they unbelievably talented, but they also know exactly how to get the crowd hyped and keep the dance floor full all night long.
Honestly, BOOK THEM — it’s an absolute must! They were one of the best parts of our entire day, and we have zero regrets. If we could do it all over again, we’d choose them in a heartbeat. 10/10, without a doubt!"
