The Soundroom was nominated as a Late Shows venue for the first time this year, and we decided that Trio Grand would make a great headline act to promote us. We chose them for their great mix of well known songs, and the fact that there was something for everyone to like. They helped us make it a great night, and they proved to be a real hit.

I booked Trio Grand on recommendation for a private party that I hosted. They were extremely professional and provided great live entertainment for our drinks reception and dinner, before the DJ took over. A great evening all round thanks to Trio Grand.
