Sunny Singh29 Aug 2025

Stephanee was amazing, very professional, great voice. Played some great music, we discussed some songs and the tone of the event before and planned accordingly. She was very accommodating, understanding and took her time to meet our needs. The crowd loved her and we look forward to working her and the team again.

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

Breaker Live were excellent and the dance floor was full the whole time they were playing. They allowed us to choose the setlist, based on their broader range of songs, which allowed us to tailor the setlist for our wedding guests. Highly recommended.

Jack & Tee played a fantastic set at our wedding reception. Although some COVID restrictions were still in place and dancing restricted they did a great job and created a great atmosphere. Both Jack and Tina’s vocals are amazing, all the guests commented how good they were. Very accommodating and a nice couple to work with. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Thanks for making our evening so special.

We had he doc brown trio for our wedding in april and we were absolutely astounded! My mum passed away a couple of years ago and Wes even learnt my parents favourite song in just a few short days for my dad and I to have a first dance to. My dad cried on the dance floor! The trio were just absolutely fantastic and their style of music was incredible and they set such an amazing atmosphere for our day. Communication was great and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone! Thank you guys!!!

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.
