The Burning shoes were amazing, got everyone on the dance floor, we had Giulia & Jose to start in the afternoon, we had so many guests asking for her details, she was amazing! Then in the evening we had a 4 piece band. Could not fault any of them, very professional. Would certainly recommend them all 😀

Excellent, we had such a good time. Everyone loved the band and their energy. The 2 songs they learnt for us were amazing, couldn’t have asked for anything better. Jose was great, very easy to communicate with

We hired the band for a wedding celebration in our garden. Jose made the booking process very easy and he was very careful to make sure we had the right kind of mix of instruments and singer to suit us. He sent a long and varied list of song choices. Requests were also encouraged. On the day the band were professional in every way from setting up to performing a whole beautiful range of songs. There was something to suit everyone. We loved Lee Gold’s voice (and amazing keyboard skills - how I would love to be able to do that!). Harrison Cole’s jazz trumpet was smooth and cool all through, not forgetting the great bass Kevin Glasgow and the fabulous rhythm house that is Jose Sacristan. This band had just the right mix for us of jazzy, cool music while our guests wanted to eat and talk, but could turn up the volume and liven up the beat at just the right time for some dancing. Plus the band were such lovely guys - friendly and warm and had a great rapport with our guests. We have had great feedback from our guests about how great the band were. I can thoroughly recommend booking this band. Amanda Parker

Hi Jose thank you so much for Saturday, everyone loved your music last Saturday the 12th of May and I think you might have a few future booking coming your way. Thank you once again it was a great event and great music. Thanks
