Booked for Celebration

I cannot fault Indigo Delight and their manager Rhona Downie - from start to finish Rhona was absolutely superb at managing all queries with us whilst the band on the day were fantastic. The performance really did make our day extra special and our guests were over the moon with them, enjoying every second. Highly recommended! They ventured across disco/rnb/soul/pop for us :)

Booked for Wedding

Very talented musicians. Would happily recommend to anyone. These guys were the second music act of our evening and really helped to gently warm things up after a lovely calm and classical string quartet. I really felt that they read the atmosphere perfectly as the music felt just right for that point in the afternoon/evening. Very good indeed. A+

Booked for Birthday party

Jess and the Red Hot rags were amazing. Having planned an small private event for my Father in Law that had to be postponed due to Covid we were delighted to reorganise an outdoor, social distancing event for today. Red Hot Rags played wonderful music and made a man whose health is rapidly fading very very Happy. I can't thank them enough for all they have done and would recommend them to anyone.Thank you so much.

Booked for Wedding

"The Frampton Footwarmers were delightful - just what we wanted - a mix of cabaret jazz and danceable tunes that enabled the evening to go with a swing for those who wanted they could dance and for those who wanted to tap a toe and talk they could do that too they were easy to deal with and even managed to work with one of our friends to do a special song for us highly recommended"

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.
