  1. booked Oona Linnett for a funeral / memorial service

    Verified

    Excellent. Oona played beautifully at our Mothers Funeral and reception afterwards. Oona arrived very early to the event and was highly professional. Played all the requests for the different types of music we requested as well as choosing really appropriate and lifting pieces for the occasion. It really made the day special. The feedback from our guests was amazing. All our guests complemented Oona's performance and loved the calming, soothing and lifting effects. We were extremely happy and will certainly look forward to booking Oona again, hopefully, next time for a happier occasion.

  8. booked Hard Candi Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Thank you so much for making the event so special. A superb set that kept the floor buzzing all evening. Old and young enjoyed it in equal measure. Talented musicians and clever arrangements of a wide selection of classic floor-fillers and modern chart toppers. I would highly recommend this professional, engaging and wonderful personal band. without hesitation. Arrangements for the evening were handled so well easing any pressures and liaising directly with the venue where required. 10/10.

    Verified

    Kid at the Back played at my husband’s 50th birthday party and we’re brilliant! Efficient in all communication prior to the event and had clearly taken note of my husband’s taste in their sets. Everyone up on their feet all night. I would definitely book them again in the future and several of our friends commented on how good they were.

  18. booked Sue Cottrell for a wedding

    Verified

    The musicians were really lovely. It was a shame that some of the feedback was that quite a few songs were played more than once. They were very professional but they didn't get the guests attention as much as we hoped. They were great as musicians but entertainers they seemed a little shy, which made it awkward. What they played, they played well but it was just missing that something magical. Some guests thought they came with the venue which I wasn't sure how to take. I wish them all the best for the future as musicians.
