Testimonials

'Sarah – just to say thank you for the arrangements and recommendation of Hot Stuff – they were absolutely amazing – I think we would still be on the dance floor now if they were still playing! From the time they started to the time they finished playing everyone was on their feet having an amazing time! ', Pauline, Coins.

'...We think it sounds fab! They have amazing voices!' Heart 106.2 fm, live radio.

'...please thank the band - everybody enjoyed the party and thought the band were terrific. ' Julie Hunnisett, BBC, Christmas Party.

'Thanks for last night it was wonderful; everyone loved it.' David Moore, Pied à Terre.

'' The band were absolutely fantastic! Everyone was impressed by how professional they were - such fun, too - quite brilliant musicians. They really helped all the guests have a wonderful time. We have had so many warm comments saying how much people enjoyed themselves - we know, in no small part, that was because of the atmosphere the band created with their fabulous performance.

Their music was a really good "leveler" - there were plenty of sixty plus year olds on the dance floor dancing with great enthusiasm. rubbing along cheerfully with my older children's "uber-cool" friends who are several decades younger (average age 19), and who were transparently enjoying themselves just as much... and, just as much so, the tiny tots and the usually more reserved ones among our friends who all got up at some point for some unself-conscious boogy-ing! "Never mind the moves, just shake it all about" seemed to be the general consensus....What a great night they gave us, truly! If we know one thing, when we book them again we will have to persuade them to do more sets - they left everyone craving so much more!!

Thank you, too, Sarah, for organising everything so carefully. Your calm, kind words were backed up by a clear, organised professional approach - which made me quite happy to leave the detail in your capable hands. The results proved your company's worth and your musicians' great reputation. We won't hesitate to recommend you. ''

Fond regards, Karen and James von Speyr. Wedding July 2007

''Thank you once again for performing at our ball on Friday. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the band and I think your performance was great. Many Thanks once again.''

''Hi Sarah - I didn't get the opportunity to thank the musicians at the wedding. The quartet was excellent and everyone at the wedding enjoyed the music. Please convey my thanks to the musicians.'' Alain Moyeuvre, Wedding, July 2007

''Dear Sarah, We both wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU!! and WOW!! you were terrific - we had a good idea that we were going to be delighted, and you didn't disappoint. Every song was perfect - and you are all a gifted bunch, but I had many comments about you in particular, Sarah and how good you are on the saxophone. It really set the atmosphere for the day. Brian especially enjoyed TAKE 5. We played your demo CD (you have a nice voice) and Brian is going to put it into his IPod.

I really hope that we'll get to see you again, and wish you all lots of success for the future, Best wishes,'' Sally and Brian, Private Party June 2007

'We had a wonderful day and both the string quartet and
Swing City were perfect!' Yaso, Wedding 2007.

'...The event was very successful with the harp music providing a great contrast to the industrial-style decoration of the building. Rhian herself arrived promptly, (despite the best efforts of Thames Water and their roadwork's in the Soho area); she was neatly and professionally attired, as well as being very low maintenance in what she required from us/me!...if we do have another function requiring music I shall definitely contact you! Thank you for your help.' Helen Clark, Key Haven.

'Graham and I were delighted with the music, as were so many of our guests, who twirled the night away. The general enthusiasm was obvious. Our lot prefer to dance than to jiggle...I am sorry to have postponed your return home, I didn't hoist in that you had such a long journey. Many thanks to you all for playing so well and singing so true. You created just the right mood to reflect the summer evening. Good luck and hope we will see you again one day. ' Annabel Baker, party.

' The night went really well great band...I have given your name to a few people they were very impressed...Sarah thank you for the assistance you gave me really appreciated.' Maureen Phillips, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, UK

'They were all absolutely amazing, thank you so much. The client was so pleased with them and they really made the day. Please can you pass on again all my thanks and I will definitely be giving you a call if anything else comes up.' Lucinda Hand, Pure Events.

'Thank you very much for providing us with Rhian's services last week. Considering that she was a bit stressed from her journey to Ashridge she gave a really excellent performance and it went down extremely well with all of our guests.' Jane Fruin, CMR, events organiser.

'Super - thanks Sarah, although I didn't see the band, heard them play on the phone and we've received top Thanks from the party. Thanks for your help, the party have booked again for next year so will be in contact then if not before.' James Rowe, manager.

'The Polly Gibbons Band was great. Polly was so nice and her choice of music and delivery was perfect. Many guests commented on how good she was and also how good the keyboard player was; he really is wonderful. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

We put your web address on every invitation and hope that you may get some more custom from this event. If you or Polly and her band ever need any reference please feel free to refer to me as a very satisfied customer.' Colin Elderkin, party.

'' I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a HUGE thank you to you and the samba band for providing entertainment at our firewalk last week. They were absolutely brilliant and I still haven’t gotten over how good their performance was. We have received loads of compliments on the night and since saying that they really made the event and were “an inspired choice” – and I have to agree. They played non-stop for most of the event, sounded brilliant, really created an atmosphere and the dancers looked fantastic! Please pass my compliments and thanks along to them... '' E Murch, Springboard for children fundraising event.

'' Thank you. The wedding was wonderful and the music was fantastic. Vision and Swing City did a fantastic job and everyone there agreed. We had lots of enquiries re the bands and have passed out your details to lots of people so hopefully they will get in touch when they need some music.

The musicans were also lovely people and they just got on did their job and were a pleasure to have around. I hope they managed to get fed and watered sufficiently, the caterers were very efficient and nice so I hope they looked after them.

Thank you again for your help and please pass on our thanks to the musicians involved for making the day so special.''

''I just wanted to say thanks for everything. We had the most fantastic day and evening. The band were excellent and everyone said how good they were, we are really pleased we decided to have them as they made the evening special.''
