"I booked Station 2 Station for my wife's surprise birthday party in Cardiff. She loves good live music and they were excellent. They were easy to deal with, quick at responding and listened to what I wanted. On the night they were great. The music was at a good volume for the room size, not too loud as many bands seem to do. The singing and playing sounded great and they interacted with the audience and mixed up popular songs in a fun way that got lots of people up dancing. It was a fairly small party of around 40 people and they really made the atmosphere. Nice guys, great music, good option."

"The music was amazing on Saturday! They played so beautifully in the church it set me and my husband off crying immediately. Their playing at the reception was fabulous too. Thank you so much for helping to make it such a happy day!"

"The performance was spectacular and very authentic. We had built a custom 70s disco venue and this act was perfect to provide the uplifting atmosphere we wanted. Usually we never repeat themes or artists. But they were so good I am already trying to figure out how to incorporate them into future events. Thank you again Ben line Activity lead, anica care trust"

"Really good experience with Eccentric Pony playing at our wedding party. Jimmy liaised closely with me throughout the process about the timings, song list, first dance etc. Very reassuring about the first dance, which we were quite nervous about! On the day they turned up on time and were ready to go at the time we planned for, we actually kept them waiting, sorry! They are excellent musicians and the 3 sets couldn't have gone better. The dancefloor was full whenever they played and they really got the atmosphere going. They kept the party going with DJ sets between and after their band sets. We would highly recommend them and would definitely consider them for future parties. Thanks guys for making our wedding such a good party! Karthi and Rachel."

"Bethany and Galen played at my wedding. They were FANTASTIC! They learned a first dance song of our choice and did a great job with it! We thoroughly enjoyed their music and many guests commented to say how great they were too. They were also really friendly and responsive throughout the booking process and build up to our big day. If you’re looking for music for an event, I 100% recommended Bethany Jane & Bro!"

"Whilst some duos stick to a traditional & tried and tested route, A & B have avoided that. They have chosen a hip approach to their covers and original set! Not a light-hearted approach either! They are here to play... to give a new listening experience... a must see in the LIVE! Unique in all aspects."

"Let's Smooth Things Over played at our wedding on 24 August and were just absolutely fantastic. All guests thoroughly enjoyed the two sets and a number asked how we found them. Highly recommend. Thanks all so much."

"Anna was kind enough to be our first singer on our Live Music nights and she set the bar very high! With a superb voice and friendly nature, managed to get the normally quiet clientele to their feet and we all had a fantastic night! Have already booked for more sets as we couldn't let her get away. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unique, professional and stunning performer! "

"The Jonathan Vinten Band recently played at our home to help us celebrate a very special family wedding. The music was superb and seriously increased the enjoyment of our friends and family on a lovely summer afternoon. Highly recommended."

"Well what can we say! They were absolutely fantastic, arrived on time with equipment set up ready for the evening. They sang lots of different songs from old to new keeping the ears of our guests entertained ready for more. was absolutely amazing such a talented band would love to have thwmat another event. The only down side was that the evening seemed to go to fast but as the saying goes time flys when your having fun. Would so love to see them again in the future absolutely fantastic performance what an amazing band."

"I can’t thank the band enough. They made the party that much more special. They even created a bespoke song which was from our wedding two years ago "all of me", which was delivered perfectly! Great evening and would highly recommend!"

Hi Sarah, Many thanks for the kind words and the review - we very much enjoyed playing for you all so it's great to hear that you all had a special time. Really pleased you liked the rendition of "All Of Me" which we know had a special meaning for you - we like to go the extra mile :-) Many thanks Martin & Stuart

" At the risk of sounding pretentious and somewhat smug, as a former music journalist and critic, I am someone well used to hearing performances covering the whole spectrum of ability, from very talented, to no talent whatsoever; mainly on the working circuit, encountering much from the bottom end of the scale, the flaws of which seemingly pass by, or go over the heads of the audience, mediocre musical acts often gaining acceptance despite (or because of) their lack of any talent whatsoever. So, when on a random whim, I booked MAYHEM into The Old Crown, Hayes, I was pleasantly surprised to come across that jewel one constantly seeks: a light hidden in the bushel, an act of great quality. Don’t get me wrong, on the surface, MAYHEM are basically just another covers band, with certainly not much more to offer in terms of choice of material than others treading the same circuit. The difference though, is in the depth of thought in the vocal arrangements, and the attention to detail in the performance of the songs. Someone in the band has true musical knowledge. The way the vocals are arranged and used is no accident, and the music has a depth and surety that is pure class. Carol’s voice is unique, and at many points conveys rare emotion for those who can hear. The two voices are a happy accident of coincidence; Carol’s rather treble voice, Billy’s gruff baritone, both interesting voices taken in isolation, but together producing a sound that is perhaps greater than the sum of its parts. The quality of both singers shows itself also in the faultlessly correct intonation, the thrilling blend and invention of the harmonies, the search for expression in the vocals, the subtle use of the arrangements to produce expression. Most of these subtleties are of course lost on the general public, but the band still have enough battle-hardened experience and know-how to ride out any waves of indifference, and overcome the hardest heart with a friendly approach to their clientele, patiently trying out various styles and eras, constantly striving to reach their listeners, despite a kind of yearning in the music for serious recognition. Personally, I found it somewhat sad that a talented band like this has to resort to some popular (and bland) material, but one must bow to reality, and work is work. Still, the musicians didn’t just accept the status quo of this material; they always had a few surprises in store in the way they approached any song, however scraped from the bottom of the barrel. Carol’s voice sounded at its best on songs like “SUMMER OF ’69” and “I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT”, but she shone through on harder songs too, like “LIVING ON A PRAYER” and “DON’T BRING ME DOWN”. Billy didn’t sing quite as many lead lines, but when he did, it was with a power and confidence that knew just how best to carry the melody, and the strength of harmony singing was in a different league from the average one would expect to hear in a situation like this. On “Living La Vida Loca” the dual vocals were outstanding, perhaps the most equal blend of the day, with other such highlights for me being “Don’t Stop me Now” and “I Wanna Know what Love is”. The locals however enjoyed some of the lighter material more, such as “Rockabilly Rebel”, square dancing their way through the afternoon with great whoops and hollers, playing their part in a very pleasant day in a very pleasant pub. There was a humorous moment when the lads at the bar joined in with “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” all pointing and dancing in the manner of Tom Cruise in “Top Gun”! A vivid sight to behold, for sure! The day ended with a raucous rendition of “Rockin’ All Over The World”, the two singers showing that they could rock it with the best of them when the chips are down. Can’t wait to see this band again. "

"Mary V & The Party Grooves performed at our wedding at the Beach House, Jersey Island in August and she brought a magical and personal touch to the songs they played. Her smooth, sexy, but unique voice is truly inspirational. Mary is highly professional and very talented."
