Antonia C Edgerton20 Jul 2026

Booked for Private party

Luna were FANTASTIC. Naomi was very responsive to our messages/video calls. It all went very smoothly. The DJ and musicians arrived on time so no stress. The music was amazing. The DJ played non-stop for 3 hours - Naomi and the Sax Player played 3 half hour sets throughout the night (it could have been more actually) - they played while we had our drinks, then came in accompanying the DJ - roaming/joining us on the dance floor. All the guests thought that they were fantastic. It gave our party an ESP. Before the event we sent Naomi a 'wish list/play list' so that they understood what music we wanted which the DJ kept too. It was truly brilliant. I have received so many congratulatory messages from party-goers, some saying it was one of the best parties at our club. So THANK YOU LUNA!!

Ciro was fantastic at our work Christmas party! The communication up to the day was perfect and we had so much fun on the day. His energy and the mix of songs was perfect - would definitely recommend him! Thanks so much Ciro :)

They sang at my father's funeral and did the most wonderful job of it. Many of the guests commented on how amazing they were. I'd highly recommend them.

Booked for Wedding

The bride, groom and their 200 guests found Annelise’s performance both very entertaining and professional. The timbre of her voice is ideally suited to the jazz idiom.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

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

Playing a complete mixture of music is the best way to make sure that everyone gets to hear something they really like. We don't work to a fixed setlist, but prefer to watch our audience and chop/change our music selections to suit. That way we can make sure the dance floor is always full. Our repertoire is huge and takes in all musical styles/genres such as Swing, Rock 'n' Roll, Motown & Soul, 60's, 70' Disco, 80's, Indie/Rock and of course, current chart hits too.
