Victoria Kiawete13 Dec 2024

A Memorable Night with Ciro – The Perfect Christmas Party Band! We recently had Ciro perform at our work Christmas party, and they absolutely nailed it! From the moment they started playing, the energy in the room was electric. Their incredible talent, versatility, and charisma made the night unforgettable for everyone. Ciro’s setlist was perfectly curated to suit all tastes, blending classic holiday tunes with crowd-pleasing hits that had everyone up and dancing. They transitioned seamlessly between genres, showcasing their skill and keeping the party atmosphere alive all night. Beyond their music, the band was an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, friendly, and accommodating to all our needs. If you’re looking for a band that will not only entertain but truly elevate your event, look no further than Ciro. Highly, highly recommended... can’t wait to book them again for future events!

Rami and Lisa were perfect for our garden hog roast party. It was the perfect tempo, sound and vibe. We had pop hits and classics and they even learnt some Taylor Swift (for my Missus who is a Swifty). We had multi generations at our party and everyone got into it. Also. It was the perfect volume - no police were called for irritating the neighbourhood peace :) Don't hesitate to hire them for your next party

The Trends were perfect for my party, it was a small venue which the band filled with great music. They were very friendly and professional and judged the atmosphere brilliantly and therefore played 2 great sets Would thoroughly recommend them

Thanks so much to The Groovy Cats for a fantastic night! So professional from the moment we booked them. Very quick to get back in contact, and answer any questions. Fantastic music and great for any occasion. Thanks so much again - I would recommend them in a heartbeat! Thanks :)

"Phoebe and Studio 33 were absolutely phenomenal! They played for 3 hours ( with 3 short breaks) and the dance floor was packed the whole of the time they were on. At times there wasn't anyone sitting down as everyone was up boogieing, including the over 70s present complete with arthritic knees and hips! They were very slick and had oodles of infectious energy and enthusiasm . Phoebe has an amazing voice and everyone in the band were clearly very talented. They were also impressively professional; arriving on time, setting up and dismantling with no fuss, and were polite, friendly and approachable at all times. They learnt a song at my request prior to the event ' We are Family' which is a family tradition of ours and we ended the party on a stomping rendition that had everyone up and dancing with grins on their faces - Priceless ! All in all I am very grateful to them for making my birthday party feel really special. I would thoroughly recommend this bunch for anyone who wants their guests to dance the night away and forget their troubles! Thankyou Phoebe and Studio 33"

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
