Estuary Soul
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Fantastic experience with this band! Lead singer Rosie had excellent communication leading up to the event and made sure I was happy with the song choices. She also asked for any personal choices so they could learn them on time. The band showed up with plenty of time to set up and start at the agreed time. They sounded so fantastic and had our whole group up dancing the whole time!! Id highly recommend them and want to say thanks so much for a brilliant evening. It was the best part of our night!! "

Kane Matthews Band
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Kane and the band were immense. They had everyone on the dance floor and we had so many comments about how great they were. We felt incredibly lucky to have them at our wedding and they were one of the first suppliers we booked. The communication from Kane is excellent, always quick to respond and very accommodating. He is an incredibly charismatic and talented performer and a top man to chat to. He and the band are super tight, bringing some excellent music and groove to our evening. Their musicianship is exceptional. We’re already talking about what excuse we could use to throw another party just to have them play again. Book them, I guarantee you won’t regret it. "
