  1. booked Annelise - Jazz & Swing Singer for a bar / club / venue event

    Verified

    Annelise was excellent throughout, from the communication during the booking process to the performance. I left the playlist to her after explaining what the event was and she got it spot on. Annelise's lovely personality came across during the event as she involved my dad brilliantly (his 80th birthday). I would thoroughly recommend Annelise for any event where you need someone who has a great personality and want to make the performance a bit personal. It was a pleasure to meet her and have her do our event.

  8. booked Allan yn Y Fan for a private event

    Verified

    Loved every minute of them. Thank you so much. All very professional from the start. We exchanged a few messages and the band turned up on time, were very pleasant and upbeat. Everyone loved it. Everyone commented how wonderful it was to have children getting involved and dancing with the adults. Few of us danced with our children for the first time. It was a house warming party, with around 80 guests. Now we want to do it again.

  15. booked Panayotis Ntourntoufis for a wedding

    Verified

    Panos had assured me prior to booking that he was familiar with the Mass setting we were using for our wedding and could sight read in any case. Unfortunately, however, this was not evident from his performance. The two other voices and organist felt that he didn’t know the music and wasn’t able to sight read it sufficiently. They found it difficult to keep the music flowing, given he was guessing so much of his vocal line and in some places not singing at all. At times, our organist had to fill in for Panos. Encore payment is online but Panos asked for cash payment – an ask that may have been in error but didn't strike me as terribly professional. Panos was quick to respond to requests and questions via Encore and email, but the performance unfortunately didn't live up to his eagerness and the capability he had promised.

    The ladies were fabulous, we were totally delighted with the beautiful music. Thank you both so much, it made the party a real success. Many guests commented how lovely the music was. And you gauged the audience perfectly, providing elegant music with enough energy for everyone from 85 down to 4years old to enjoy themselves! Many thanks. Couldn’t have been better.

    We booked Michael to play during our wedding reception and he was truly amazing! We had so many compliments on Michael's music. He provided the perfect atmosphere for our drinks reception playing music from Elton John, Ludvico Einaudi and others. Michael was very helpful before booking answering any questions. We'd highly recommend Michael! Ian & Lena Holloway

  18. booked Marc Gallagher for a wedding

    Marc was absolutely incredible. We booked them for 15 minutes before the ceremony, walking down the aisle, leaving the ceremony and the first part of canapés, and he did not disappoint. Everyone mentioned how great they were and we’re super thrilled with how the guests enjoyed his music. Thank you so much Marc, you definitely added that extra something to our day.

  19. booked Eccentric Pony for a wedding

    Verified

    Absolutely fantastic. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’d been to and we 100% put that down to the live music. The band kept everyone on the dance floor and interacted with the guests which was fab - despite being hassled with requests from a few. Thank you so much guys - you absolutely made our wedding!
