The Ark's Reviews

5 out of 5

I booked The Ark to perform at our co-working space in Hoxton, Shoreditch for a lunch time slot. We have done this before with mixed success, normally musicians just become expensive background music for our busy co-workers, eager to grab a quick bite to eat before returning to work. The lads had the whole room engaged from the start with members clapping and singing along, their song selection was faultless, voices are excellent and harmonies are absolutely superb. It turned into a real spectacle and we can't wait to have them back later this month. I would also add that the booking process was simple, brilliant communication from the start, the lads are complete professionals. Thank you James and Sam!
