  1. booked for a private event

    Verified

    A lively and friendly band, they turned up early and helped to adjust timings and kick off the ceilidh. Given a level of disorganisation on my part this was above what we had asked of them. We had an inexperienced group but they were entertaining when we messed up and made the whole night brilliant from start to end. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants a lively and fun night

  3. booked Goldsworth Gerry for a birthday party

    Verified

    I booked Goldworth Gerry for my 70th birthday celebrations and they made the party night with their playlist options and great musical ability. We danced the night away and everyone said how good the band was - even those who weren’t as familiar with the indi/rock music. Thank you Martin and Stuart for the easy, no fuss management of the event and great music. Loved it and highly recommend you,

  6. booked Alex Frost for a private event

    Verified

    I booked Alex for my partner’s 40th birthday and he was fab. He arrived on time, was very polite and professional, and most importantly, was a fantastic DJ. He accommodated our music tastes making sure to play music we’d requested but also took requests from guests on the evening. He was quick to set up and tidy away. I thought he was great and would defiantly use him again / recommend him to others. Thanks Alex, you made the party ☺️

  13. booked Noa Davies for a wedding

    Verified

    What an absolute pleasure and incredible experience Noa gave us. Not only was her communication as crisp as her sound, her personal elegance really created the classical persona we hoped for! Noa could not do enough for us and went above and beyond in every sense of the statement. The R&B set list she provided was like no other! and I know all of our guests appreciated her talents throughout her stay. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

  19. booked The Session Band for a wedding

    Verified

    We hired The Session Band for our wedding in Devon. They were brilliant throughout the whole process from enquiry, to booking, to performing. Before the booking, they also gave us other options to add on if we wanted. Once we booked, they sent over their website with their library of songs. We picked a few we liked and they then built their set from that. They also agreed to play our first dance song that we requested. The band were great when they arrived and were accommodating with us as we were slightly behind schedule. Our guests absolutely loved the band and we had so many positive comments from them. In between the band sets we also went for the DJ and Saxophone option, which were great at getting people dancing towards the end of the night. Overall a brilliant experience and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band.
