Reviews from local events in Greater Manchester
“Spektra Showband were perfect. Both visually and sonically stunning, they were incredible.”
“We wanted a saxophonist to play at our wedding from the outset. Neither I nor my husband is musically trained and so we searched to find someone. As soon as I came across Sax & Bongos, I knew that we had to have them play at our wedding. She was so friendly, warm and approachable even over text. We met with her before the wedding and any wedding nerves that I may have had evaporated. She kept in touch with us coming up to the wedding. It made me feel that I could leave her side of things to her and gave me one less thing to worry about. She played beautifully during our drinks reception.”
“I and my 70 guests were greatly impressed by the energy and musicality of the Blarneys and the outstanding performance of their fiddler whose playing and dancing was the high point of the evening. 10 out of 10 from the Lacey clan!”
Booked The Blarneys Irish Band for a birthday party at Irish World Heritage Centre Manchester, Manchester, UK
“Fantastic, thank you so much - really brought our Christmas party to life!”
Booked Sax & Bongos for a corporate Christmas party at Victoria Warehouse, Manchester, UK
“Hi Voxxy, I just wanted to thank you. I loved your performance, everyone did, it was just amazing. Thank you so much for making our party so much fun!”
“Our friends and family were just blown away by how incredible you were. I mean, we knew you would be great but you couldn’t have been more fabulous. Without you, our wedding would not have been as special.”
“We had a fab time all night. When the DJ started playing everyone was up anyway but when she came on it just lifted the atmosphere for me and my friends and we danced all night. I struggled to find anyone who was doing the kind of music I like but she had loads of songs we knew and smashed them live. Really impressive and really friendly, I highly recommend her!”
“I hired Red Shift for my 50th birthday bash. They were very professional indeed, they were on site, set up and out of the way before my guests arrived. From the moment they started playing they had my friends and family on the dance floor. However, the biggest surprise was that my partner told them that I was a huge Gary Numan fan and despite them being a soul and R&B band, they learnt a Gary Numan song just for me and even let me sing it with the band, what a fantastic gesture, that really made my night!! The days that followed I was asked multiple times who the band was, and I was more than happy to pass on their details. I wouldn’t think twice about booking these guys again for any future celebration. If you are thinking of booking them, just do it, you won’t be disappointed.”
“The Retro Twists played at a recent family birthday party, they were fantastic. The diversity of set was great for the guests, we were all thoroughly entertained and there was plenty to dance to. We were able to go through the set before the event and ask for special requests which was a bonus. I especially liked how cohesive the band were - there is a vibrant energy shared amongst them all which shines through in their performance. I would highly recommend then and will definitely be using them again!”
“Thanks again for yesterday Benji, I honestly couldn't have asked for anything more from you! You stole the show! (don't tell Sophie I said that haha). We've had loads of messages today about how brilliant you were. Thanks for the happy memories.”
“Sam & the guys were exactly what we wanted for our entertainment. Helpful and easy to book with from the start, they absolutely smashed the party and lept us going until the early hours.”
“You were fab on Saturday night. We really enjoyed ourselves, though not quite sure how Mike got up with you to sing!!! Feedback from our friends and family (from Ireland) has been fantastic - venue, band, happy time had by all. We booked The Blarneys for our wedding because we wanted something a little different and we were absolutely delighted. A great bunch of guys who have a really mastered the art of creating an atmosphere without completely taking over.”
