Honest Reviews of Artists and Entertainment Acts
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to yourselves for recommending Mike to us for my 70th birthday lunch yesterday. Mike was terrific and made the day very special. He arrived in plenty of time mingled with guests beforehand. A great performer great singer and great personality, guests described him as awesome. The highlight of our day and would thoroughly recommend him.
Choosing a good band for a Ball is critical, we were recommended Andy Otley & His Band by a booking agent as a new band on the scene, I listened to a demo and thought they sounded good. On the night of the event they arrived promptly and sound checked, they were good. But nothing could have prepared me for the performance on the night! They had the dance floor filled all night long, my guests loved it and you could see the band were thriving off the guests energy. They played a good mix of old and new songs. They were called for at least 3 encores and they obliged, bands in the past have done one song and that’s that. The atmosphere was great, I would book Andy Otley & His Band again in a heartbeat as I think they are the best band we have ever had at an event! I highly recommend them if you want your guests up and dancing. I must say as an a side note they were very professional and polite to deal with too.
Really happy with Andy Otley & His Band. Andy, Olly, Luis and Hugo, turned up promptly and setup with no fuss. Adapting quickly to fit into a small space, however still able to setup a professional looking set. Always friendly, they listened to a quick brief on what I wanted and delivered two sets perfectly. From the moment Andy started singing, he quickly had dance floor full. His interaction and enthusiasm with the guests showed that we had booked a band with quality. This was all topped off with a disco service between sets that kept the party going all night. Highly recommended, I will have no problems booking this band again in the future. Cheers Andy, please pass this on to the crew.
Thank you so much Andy for making my Ladies Annual Dinner at Vicars Cross GC so spectacular. From the very first song you had the 75 ladies in the palm of your hand. With such a mixed age range you pitched the music perfectly, leading us in slowly with well known classics and then turning up the heat and getting everyone up dancing. As you know they didn't want you to stop, and everyone without exception raved about you, with many requests for you to come back again soon! Apparently I have set the 'bar' high for any future annual dinners! I was very nervous about my special evening and from the moment we spoke on the phone to meeting you on the evening your professionalism made me feel so at ease and confident about the evening, nothing was too much trouble, it meant a lot to you that my evening was a success. Thank you for coming to the rescue during my Captain's speech, with the loan of your microphone - you really were my 'knight in shining armour'. Looking forward to a repeat performance at the club in the near future.
I'd just like to say how incredible 'Freddie' was on Saturday night. His performance was top notch and he went out of his way to ensure everything went smoothly- even when the power went and his speaker blew up during his sound check! He ended up climbing into the roof to switch the power back on and the performance was perfect. Nothing was too much trouble! Thank you to you all- the whole service was fantastic and I shall be highly recommending your company
We had the best party ever!! All the acts were incredible. James, was everything we expected. He was wonderful. Not only a fab singer but such a lovely guy. We will be booking him again for next year. We made space for both James & Martin to join our friends table for dinner as they were both so lovely. Martin Gold - was fantastic. Such a great comedian and highly recommended. The Opera Boys! They made the party something to remember! Everyone of my guests are still talking about them. They were better than incredible. They were so professional. They took everyone by surprise (including me) and I knew what was coming :-) Highly highly recommended and will definitely book again, as I’m sure a couple of my guests will do too. Overal I couldn’t have asked for a better day. It was perfect thanks to ALL of the above acts. I have already found a venue for this years party so will be planning my acts soon so I can try and go better again…. Not sure it will be possible though. Thanks again for your help. All the best Wendy
We recently hired Paul to play at our wedding. We knew he would be amazing after seeing him perform in some restaurants in the Manchester area. His talent seems to know no bounds and he surpassed our expectations on the day itself. He kept in regular contact before the big day via email and telephone conversations ensuring he knew exactly what we wanted. The dance floor was packed all evening as Paul managed to complete the set list we wanted and act spontaneously to adapt to the mood of the evening. His interaction with our guests was superb and they all commented on how good he is. We are definitely going to look at hiring him for my husbands 40th Birthday. I hope he's available. He was truly amazing and we look forward to seeing him play again soon.
We had our works Christmas party and it took a while to find the right act that was fitting for our White Ball event. However after searching for many weeks I come across Jess’s profile. Instantly I knew she was the right act, her song selection fit our requirements and it was everything I wanted for the works event. We asked Jess to perform while people arrived and also while dinner was served, I have to be honest not much eating was consumed as Jess got everyone on the dance floor mid-way through. Which was great, it set the right atmosphere. I had a few special requests and Jess was so accommodating, even to the point of learning a new song. I have nothing but positive things to say about Jess, her vocals are amazing! Song selection on point, such a good interaction with the audience and extremely professional! I highly recommend Jess! She will be booked again in the near future!
We booked The Electric for a black tie Christmas party that we hosted in a 4 star hotel in December. They were amazing! Set up was a breeze, very well dressed and they sounded great. I allowed the band to choose their own songs based on the age of the attendees and I wasn’t disappointed. They had everyone up dancing from the first song which I have to say, is a first for us lot. They really were a fantastic band and I would highly recommend for any type of event.
Jess was our entertainment for NYE, and wow what a night she made for us. We had suffered a bereavement and was not sure to go ahead with the evening, but after talking to to our family and Jess we did. We left everything in Jess's hands, except for asking for a couple of songs she planned the entire evening, she read the audience and kept everyone up dancing and singing all night, It didn't matter what she sang she sounded amazing and entertained us all. Jess went way above and beyond what we expected, she interacted with all of us and made us feel like we had known her for ages, but most importantly gave the impression to everyone we had known her for ages, which is quite a remarkable thing to do. The night was a success, the bells were cheered in and the fun carried on. All our guest have asked about Jess and said what a night, and she was a big contributor to this. All I can say is a BIG THANK YOU and WOW to Jess she really was pure entertainment, we could not have asked for anyone better.
