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 Corporate Function

I attend a large number of events a year with my job and I can say with a shadow of doubt that Grove all starts are the best band I’ve seen. Every song was a floor filler the way they got the whole room dancing all night was amazing. I would highly recommend this band for any occasion you won’t be disappointed.

Booked for Birthday party

Cool Groove were excellent. The music was good and helped provide exactly the right atmosphere for what was an all round excellent evening. They are very talented, flexible and nothing was too much trouble for them. I found them to be very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Monika to you and to your band.

Booked for Wedding

Cherry Valentine and the Bees Knees are absolutely amazingly talented. We absolutely loved them at our wedding reception. Our guests say it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I am sooo glad that we couldn't have a dj and dance floor. We had the best time ever and I couldn't thank them enough. Book now!! You won't be disappointed. They will have you on your feet even if you don't dance! Thank you so much ❤️

Booked for Wedding

Neo Roots were absolutely incredible. They were flexible, responsive, professional and musically we could not fault them! The set list was perfect, something for everyone. From the under 3s to the over 80s, everyone was dancing and commenting on how much they enjoyed the band. NeoRoots have certainly found themselves a few new fans from our wedding and we cannot wait to see them play again! Thanks so much for helping making our wedding the most perfect day of our lives. Wouldn't have been the same without Neo Roots!
