Dave Colebourn Saxes
"We’re so glad we chose Dave as our saxophonist, he was incredible from start to finish. From the very beginning, he was so communicative, explained everything clearly, and made the whole (already super simple) process on Encore really easy and stress-free.
He got us genuinely excited, and you can tell he absolutely loves what he does. During the ceremony drinks, he played all our favourite songs beautifully, which created such a special atmosphere for the family. Then when he teamed up with the DJ, the energy was buzzing - everyone was up dancing and having the best time!
Thank you, Dave, you truly made our day! I hope you see you at another celebration!"

Dar.Ra
"Hype Magazine USA
Cure For Jealousy
A perfectly polished storyteller in the literal sense, Dar.Ra goes for this wild swing of ‘80s dance-rock infused with edge on the stomping sweetness of “Cure For Jealousy.”
The track combines a range of periods and influences, ensuring the sound works seamlessly as a cohesive, concise whole.
Volume is a given; he brings it, and it is a physical sound, like the way blood rushes through the ears with the first few traces of jealousy. Looking through his track record, he’s managed to touch upon every iteration of dance and rock within the last forty years, and has done it well.
Outside of the music, he’s the author of two books, which also inform the character studies that he graces with his sound. It is catchy, addictive, and liberating stuff, the sort of thing that the music world needs now – something unique, experimental yet accessible, and overflowing with ideas.
Sonically, Dar.Ra’s sound draws on the revivalist traditions of DFA Records, specifically on LCD Sound-System’s earnest pleas and search for meaning.
Like James Murphy, Dar.Ra does have a love for the aesthetics of just a gigantic canvas, letting the whole arrangement feel enormous. On the classic side, the insistent bass has an ESG quality, with the groove absolutely dominating.
It is easy to get intoxicated by the atmosphere, and the vocals further sell this idea of breaking free from this impairment.
The tautness of the groove even delves into Parliament’s most unhinged experiments, as the track sparkles with endless creativity. For all these reference points, Dar.Ra continues his fine tradition of marching to the beat of a different drummer, going for this life-affirming, soulful stance.
The stormy mix of keyboards and the tight rhythm section work their magic.
Before his voice enters the equation, the mood is already set. When he takes center stage, the song transforms into an inner turmoil.
He’s conflicted, and the verses cascade downwards reflecting exactly that. It stuns, and the track’s length makes the atmosphere almost psychedelic. Of course, this is what good dance music is meant to embody – endless expanses, endless possibilities. There is a reason so many dance-floors adhere to that sixto-seven-minute mark, even exceeding it when necessary. The band's interplay feels spirited, as if possessed, and this is what carries it all the way to the finale: a contemplative commotion.
“Cure For Jealousy” shows that Dar.Ra is what music needs right now – a sound that draws and builds on the past while pointing a way forward, in a purely hedonistic, funk/dance/punk flavour."
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! (10 / 10)
