Gary Sletcher Entertainment
"Gary was amazing, from start to finish, he arrived on time, setup quietly and blew the socks off everyone who attended. His genre is huge and his knowledge on different instruments is amazing. We would recommend Gary to anyone looking. Definitely one of the best muscians we have booked."
Lady Holly
"Was blown away by Lady Holly's performance. Loved that I was also able to request songs and she and band has quite the repertoire. Loved the entire performance completely and definitely requesting again!"
Sax Clarinet and Flute
"wow, so much more than expected! Debi gave us everything we wanted, both on the train and at the Elgin Market venue. Her choice of songs kept us entertained all the way. Highly professional and well recommended. I am now thinking of the next time we can book."
Eu4ria
"Jason's group performed wonderfully at the end year corporate Gig. It was the first time we hosted with a band, we often get a DJ to play music. The music they played was amazing and very hip I recommend him for future gigs."
Tarabu
"The talented Tarabu entertained customers with the soothing sounds of an accordion, saxophone, and guitar at The Sanctuary Shopping Centre in Somerset West over the Festive Season. The pleasant setting with a variety of restaurants on a wooden deck overlooking a lake was perfected by the wide variety of music genres they performed. Their professional demeanor was commendable from start to finish."
S&R Music
"My rating is based on the amazing interaction and service provided by S&R Music. I dealt with Clyde Visagie who from the first interaction was professional, upfront and very accommodating. My request was late, we had some limitations to deal with but Clyde and his band members were professional and accommodating and the evening was a great success. Compliments all round and my colleagues were very appreciative of the offering by S&R music. Thank you Clyde and the rest of the team."
