Recent review: "A perfect end to a perfect day. Even before we had decided on a venue for our wedding (or even the dress!) we knew we wanted to have Wonderband. Having seen them at several events we knew them to be both brilliant and professional. The guests, many of them musicians, have not stopped talking about how fantastic the band was and I know many will be trying to come up with events to have an excuse to book them.It was the perfect end to a perfect day. Thank you Wonderband.Commander and Mrs S Harman, Surrey. Venue-The Tithe Barn. Petersfield- March 26 2016"

Recent review: "We booked the Soultanas to play our wedding in May 2014. We could not recommend them highly enough. Music is our shared interest and we love to dance and party with our friends so there was a lot of pressure for us when getting the music right. All our guests, from granddads and uncles to nieces, were dancing the night away. Soul and funk music is a genre we love and accessible for almost everybody. On our request The Soutanas learnt our favourite song for our first dance: ""Thinking of You"" by Sister Sledge. Our first dance was one of our favourite parts of the day. Prior to the wedding day they sent us their set list which helped us plan for the DJ that followed, they were also really receptive for sharing preferences for songs to play. On the day you wouldn't have known they were there setting up. They were so professional, liaising directly with the venue and did not bother us at all on the day. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special, we hoped you enjoyed playing as much as we enjoyed listening. We wish we could go back and do it all again!"

KT Walters Trio

Available in Portsmouth from £enquire

5 Reviews:

Recent review: "Our party was a huge success and much of that was to do with the live music provided by this trio, especially KT with her great vocals. They were great fun, clearly very experienced and flexible with when and where they performed their different sets, and the music they performed enhanced the occasion for everyone. It was really helpful and unexpected that they could provide music from their playlist in between breaks on their sounds system, which meant the party continued to flow without interruptions. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any event. Nic Knight, Nic Knight Management"
