Eluned Moran8 Nov 2021

Booked for Corporate Function

Alicia was awesome. She has a great voice, and a lovely personality which everyone warmed to. Her repertoire was really good and she had everyone up and dancing from the very first number. Her communication pre-event was very good and she turned up promptly on the night and was professional throughout. Would strongly recommend her to anyone planning an event for a broad age range of people, with a particular emphasis on dance music and classic disco.

Booked for Wedding

Since the initial booking Jess was very responsive in answering all our questions and creating a special jazz version of our first dance for our wedding. The band were on time and very courteous especially seeing we were 30 mins overrunning on the speeches. We would not hesitate to recommend Jess and her band to anyone else for any occasion.

Booked for Hen party

Excellent.Elliot and Vick are ultra talented musicians. The event was a total success because of them. They are really nice guys and easy to get along with. I would recommend this duo without hesitation. Thank you.

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 Celebration

We booked the Tommy Ludgate Trio for our corporate Christmas Celebration to provide background music for our drinks and canapes event. The Trio played a great variety of music and Tommy's singing was really lovely. We had around 400 colleagues at our event and everyone said how great the Trio were. Thanks very much to Tommy and Mike.

Booked for Other Event

Laura and the gang were great. Nice and early, courteous, professional and of course...they sounded great! The moment they fired up their first song my feet were tapping and their music was well received byour mixed age range audience. Due to our venue we had limitations with our sound and this was never an issue for Pink Champagne. They bought their own mini PA and it was just right. So understanding the requirements of their client? Tick that box too. I would absolutely consider booking again for next year. Many thanks guys!
