  1. booked Jessica Boyd for an event in July 2017

    Verified

    Jessica was fantastic. Beforehand, she was very responsive and enthusiastic which was comforting. She also sent through a demo which helped put my mind at ease. On the day, she was on time, played beautifully and made the whole occasion extra special. I would highly recommend her.

  7. booked Lounge Cat Ideals for an event in July 2017

    Verified

    I just don't have the words in my vocabulary to express how incredible these guys are. They really stole the night. There were some who were sceptical about our band choice but even they were absolutely blown away on the day. Not sure there was a single guest that didn't comment on how brilliant they were. The whole party was dancing, whether it was on the dancefloor (which was swealtering) or outside on the decking - it was almost impossible for people not to dance. In the run up to the event, Gary was very professional and polite, always responding promptly to emails and accommodating the requests of the venue. We really couldn't have asked for more. Overall: really friendly, fantastic guys, absolutely mind-blowingly incredible musicians with a great sound that sets the mood for a wicked party. I just now wish they were playing at every party I went to!! Thank you so so much guys. Sarah & Tris

  8. booked Barn With Us for an event in April 2017

    Verified

    Thanks once again for playing at our event. The music was brilliant and your voice was amazing. I particularly like the way you adapted each set to the needs of the event. Starting off with gentle background music during the meal with a slightly more upbeat tempo for the second set with the last set making for a fantastic atmosphere. As good as you were I don't think you would have been able to put on such a great show without your sound engineer, Remko constantly adapted the set up and sound to make sure that it sounded great around the whole venue. It was great to see modern technology at work with his remote pad allowing him to move around the room to make sure everyone could hear the music! All in all it made for a fantastic night!!!!!!!!!

  9. booked Molly Lopresti for an event in July 2017

    Verified

    Molly was absolutely great - from the first point of contact when we discussed vibraphone vs marimba, all the way through re time of arrival etc. We felt bad having her as background music as her playing was so good and lots of guests commented and stopped to listen. I'd highly recommend Molly to anybody - totally professional and part of what made our wedding reception joyous and memorable.

    We recently booked Leon for our wedding reception. He arrived and set up in plenty of time, playing music for when our guests arrived. He added songs that we had requested to his setlist, nothing was too much trouble. He has a fantastic voice and our guests loved him. We would definitely recommend a booking!

  18. booked Bass Rock Ceilidh Band for an event in July 2017

    Verified

    The Bass Rock Ceilidh Band were just terrific in all respects and made our anniversary party one to remember for our guests as well as ourselves. A huge thank you to Mary and the rest of the band. Mary handled all our questions in the lead up to the party. They arrived on time and were set up two hours before we kicked off the dancing, which was huge fun for everyone. Quite a few of our guests complimented us on our choice.
