Lauren Tomlinson1 Aug 2022

Booked for Wedding

Amazing! Everyone at our wedding commented on how good the music was, and the acoustic guitar in the day really set off the day. Really easy to deal with, and always kept me up to date. Thanks for making our day better!

Booked for Birthday party

We had a great time and the lovely music was not too loud which means that the less young guests enjoyed their evening too! Thank you so much!

Booked for Private party

Ministry of Soul are outstanding musicians and provided fantastic entertainment. They had everybody on the floor dancing to some great tunes, a big thanks to the band for the special number ‘Needle in a Haystack’ just brilliant. I would highly recommend them for any setting. Once again thanks Lyndsay and all of the band.

Booked for Birthday party

"Phoebe and Studio 33 were absolutely phenomenal! They played for 3 hours ( with 3 short breaks) and the dance floor was packed the whole of the time they were on. At times there wasn't anyone sitting down as everyone was up boogieing, including the over 70s present complete with arthritic knees and hips! They were very slick and had oodles of infectious energy and enthusiasm . Phoebe has an amazing voice and everyone in the band were clearly very talented. They were also impressively professional; arriving on time, setting up and dismantling with no fuss, and were polite, friendly and approachable at all times. They learnt a song at my request prior to the event ' We are Family' which is a family tradition of ours and we ended the party on a stomping rendition that had everyone up and dancing with grins on their faces - Priceless ! All in all I am very grateful to them for making my birthday party feel really special. I would thoroughly recommend this bunch for anyone who wants their guests to dance the night away and forget their troubles! Thankyou Phoebe and Studio 33"
