Project F
"Project F were unbelievable, from start to finish. The song choices were spot on, they sounded incredible, their presence was brilliant and they kept everyone dancing all night.
Plus, to top it off, they were all such lovely people who kept in touch with you from booking them, all the way up to the event, asking if there were certain songs we wanted or how we wanted them to set up or what to wear etc.
We couldn’t recommend Project F enough. They were truly fantastic!!"
Wully Bully Soul Band
"Went to a dog show in Weeley, Essex and Wully Bully were performing. Fantastic band, absolutely spot on with instruments and vocals. They played Cockney rebel and a few of the audience started dancing and didn't stop. Well impressed."
Pharaoh & The Beats
"Pharaoh and the Beats played for my 21st and they literally made the night! Guests were up and dancing by the second song of the set and we didn't stop dancing all night. They were friendly and professional and sounded incredible! Great song choices as well. I want another party just so I can book them again!"
Midé
"Midé was absolutely fabulous! He brought the energy and love. So kind and the best vibes, everyone loved his performance. It was such a treat to work with you and he brought the best energy to the office."
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."
