Chaz Thorogood is a super talented guitarist and has played all across the UK, touring with the likes of Lulu and Judie Tzuke. He also has a silky smooth voice to sing all the classic rock, blues, country, folk, pop songs you love! Craig Connet is an incredible drummer. He also plays for Lulu and The Christians. He has over 20 years experience, playing with The Happy Mondays, Joss Stone, Jason Donovan, Sandi Thom, to name a few and is impressively on point in his drumming and professionalism. Together we perform a huge mixture of covers, from emotional love songs to upbeat pop/rock/blues/country/jazz/disco songs, old and new. There is something for everyone! We’re able to learn a few specific songs in advance of your event, played in a special and unique way for you! Our equipment is all top of the range, including a Bose Compact PA System. Why not take a look at our profile, where we have videos, links and reviews from recent events we’ve played at. We hope this finds you well and look forward to your reply!

I cannot recommend The Good Trouble Trio highly enough. They played at our wedding reception and myself, my wife and all of the guests were loved what they did for us. In advance of the event itself they were really flexible in terms of timings and songs we wanted included. On the day this flexibility continued as we were running a little behind schedule and they adjusted their playing timings accordingly. In terms of the music, we all absolutely loved it. Great choice of songs - really varied and perfect for the mood of our event. And most importantly, as musicians they are undoubtedly first class and put on a great performance! As I say, I cannot recommend them and thank them highly enough. Sadly, I don't plan to get married again soon so can't rebook! But I will most certainly book them again if and when I need a high quality trio to take an event up to the next level.

I highly recommend the Good Trouble Trio for any party or event. They’re all amazingly talented musicians, have a vast repertoire and created a great atmosphere to get the crowd going! They ticked all the boxes with percussion, vocals and guitars. I booked them to play at my NYE party and they really made the night one to remember!

So, I’ve been mulling over this for quite some time.. we hired Cydney for our wedding and from the first minute to the last she was amazing.. speaking to me, arranging stuff, speaking to the venue and so on... I could go on and on and on, but... and here’s the down side which I was going to start with but it didn’t sound right. Cydney was so good myself and my now wife wish it hadn’t been our wedding so we could’ve spent more time listening to her. I’m generally not one for writing reviews because you always get some bad in with the good... but any doubts you might have please dismiss them. I would encourage anyone I know and those I don’t to hire Cydney on the proviso that I get an invite so I can properly get to enjoy her performance next time... Absolutely spot on, Many thanks x
