Mellowtone Jazz Trio
"The Mellowtone Jazz Trio played for us at an evening reception for our son's Bar Mitzvah, and they were outstanding. We were aiming for a relaxed chilled out atmosphere in a marquee in our back garden, and their music provided the perfect backdrop. We had masses of compliments from family and friends, and we would not hesitate to recommend them. The process of inquiring and booking them was also simple and a pleasure. Thanks for a wonderful evening!"
Soul Vibe Band
"We hired Soul Vibe Band to play our wedding, and they were fantastic!
Kainy who was our contact was very helpful in the lead up to the wedding and was a pleasure to work with, and they even arranged something especially for our first dance, which we hugely appreciated. They keep the energy up and put on a great set, and for a six piece band were exceptionally reasonably priced. I would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for their own wedding band!"
Lorraine And The Flames
"Lorraine and the Flames are hands down one of the best groups I've heard in a long time. We were hosting an outdoor Jazz and BBQ evening and the guys couldn't have been more amazing! The music was perfect and Lorraine's voice is sublime. They set the atmosphere and mood from the moment they started, and so many of our guests commented on how wonderful they were. Thank you so much, Lorraine and the Flames for a perfect evening. We look forward to working with you all again in the future. Freya"
JKL-Jazz
"Many thanks to you and the band for making the evening so special."
Luminous Duo
"We booked the Duo for our wedding in Barcelona. Before the ceremony the Duo were incredibly helpful and flexible in helping finalise the set list for our welcome drinks and cocktail hour and the equipment they would require. We were also fortunate that the Duo learnt our first dance song, sending over a demo well before the ceremony so that we could check that we were comfortable dancing to it.
On the day, both Nadine and Lumai were brilliant. They were exactly the style of performer we were looking for, with their bossa-nova sound setting the perfect atmosphere for our guests on their arrival and during our cocktail hour. We’ll always remember that we were fortunate enough to have a live band perform our first dance - thank you so much for making this happen!"
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."
