  1. booked Bob Ford's Country Legends Tribute Show for a wedding

    Verified

    Paul was absolutely terrific. Not only was he more than happy to work with our more eclectic and alternative music tastes, he managed to pull together an evening of music that managed to get literally everyone at our wedding on the dance floor at least once with my favourite moment being all of our friends screaming to rage against the machine. If you want someone cool and kind who can pull together an absolute belter of a night, DJ Pablo is your guy.

  4. booked The Jazz Apples for a private event

    Verified

    We hired Alex as a soloist to play at our daughter's naming ceremony. We had tens of enquiries for the event but we loved their style and they were super responsive both before and after booking. We opted for Alex as a soloist just because our event was very small (though would have loved the whole band!). Alex's repertoire was great with a wide range of songs and variety of styles and suited our event perfectly - even throwing in a number of Disney classics at our request! We also gave him a couple of specific requests at short notice with only a week to go and even in that short time he learned them for us which was hugely appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for future events (maybe next time as a duet!) and really couldn't recommend them more. Thank you for making our daughter's naming ceremony/1st birthday so memorable!

    Kit was absolutely incredible! So friendly and so professional for such a young boy! Got the party going and all of the guests were very impressed and couldn’t say enough positive comments on how talented he is! Me and my husband would highly recommend kit, he turned up super early to make sure he was on time. We are so grateful that Kit came all the way from England to South Wales. Absolutely incredible!!!!

  7. booked Fairgreen Ceilidh Band for a wedding

    Verified

    Chris and his band were absolutely fantastic, couldnt have asked for a better fit for our day. We had a Viking wedding on the clifftops of North Norfolk and wanted the music fit for feasting and revelry. Plenty of communication before the day to make sure the songs fit for our day and to get the first dance chosen. On the day they were very flexible and pleasant. Chris walked us all through the dances they played for us and got everybody from eight to eighty up on their feet! One of the main contrabuting factors that made our day so memorable. Thank you so much guys.

  8. booked The Worried Men of Gower for a wedding

    Verified

    Worried Men of Gower played our wedding and it was wonderful. We had a few ceilidh dances and they also played some covers for us, including a cover of Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters for our first dance. Our guests enjoyed thoroughly and some even asked us how much it would cost to have the band keep playing! The energy was perfectly balanced between fun and romantic, we couldn’t have asked for a better performance and would recommend these guys to anyone.

  9. booked Valentia for a wedding

    Verified

    Valentina performed at our wedding at Kingston Country Courtyard in July 2023, during our garden reception. This was perfect as it provided the nicest ambience to our guests following the wedding ceremony. Valentina performed a wonderful acoustic set for two hours, providing a variety of songs, and also nailing requests. Their communication was friendly and prompt. Their arrival and set up during our ceremony was seamless. We really appreciated the addition they provided to our experience. Couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you for making our day so special!

    Kavel performed at my mother's 90th birthday party, I can't recommend him highly enough. He kept me informed all the way through the process from booking to arrival at the venue, immediately taking away any stress. His pan playing and selection of music was of the highest order. A total professional who I would recommend to anyone. I felt he went above and beyond to ensure my mother enjoyed her special day.

    Janna performed at my wedding in June and she was fabulous! She went above and beyond to attend to play during my weddjnv ceremony and she also worked alongside a fellow musician which togehther provided the duoambient atmosphere desired for my wedding breakfast.

  15. booked Owen Hopwood for a wedding

    Verified

    I was looking for a musician for a long time before we found someone that we were really happy with. I have no shadows of doubt that I would book Owen again & again. What a performance, he turned up and was so polite, played his heart out and absolutely smashed the cover we requested for our first dance which was probably very different from his usual requests but he took it in his stride. He was one of many highlights for our wedding day and I can’t thank him enough. His set list was great and all the guests enjoyed his music! Whenever i spoke to him he was always quick to respond and help where necessary. So again Owen thank you so much!

    Big Smoke were AMAZING and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We booked the full band with a singer and DJ after - They communicated clearly with us in the run up, were punctual on the day, all lovely people, and crafted a fun evening set that got everyone dancing and singing along, so many of our guests told us how much they loved it vs a standard wedding band! Adam was also a super DJ for after the set wrapped up, we would 100% recommend. Thanks so much Big Smoke!

  20. booked Aderyn String Quartet for a wedding

    Verified

    IF YOU ARE GHIBLI FANS, YOU NEED TO GET THESE GUYS! I hired a trio for my wedding and could not have asked for better ceremony music ! My requests were all Ghibli pieces (Howl's moving castle, Spirited away etc) since my now husband and I are both Ghibli fans. The music Sion, Sam & Miranda played as I walked down the aisle could not have been more perfect, and it really made the moment truly magical! Quite a few of the guests were also Ghibli fans and they gave a lot of compliments about the lovely performances x
