"Jose was an absolute pleasure to deal with and the band performed fantastically. Everybody at our event said how impressed they were with the professionalism of the band, many saying the band was the high-light of the evening and would book the band themselves for weddings, etc! We asked the band to play a few requests and picked a range of songs from their current repertoire, which was a great mix of songs for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for being sensitive to the occasion - it was a charity event commemorating what would have been my late Father's birthday - and this was something very much considered. The band are extremely dynamic and although the listed singer could not attend the date of our event, singer Guilia is incredible and we couldn't have been happier! We'd love to invite the band back to any future celebrations with hold. 100% recommend these fantastic musicians for any occasion. HUGE THANKS and all the best, Nicola & Family"

"Very good band, thank you. Great music. Also very understanding that with our dinner running slightly late & the sunny day meaning people were outside rather than in then the audience was both late and thinner than expected! We very much enjoyed the music and thank you to the band for making the trip and contributing to our day"
