What a fantastic duo! They were excellent from the start, helping us create the vibe we wanted for our wedding. My husband and were blown away by how they interacted with the crowd, knowing exactly when to play what songs for that moment’s vibe. The dancefloor was never empty. Music has always been important to us, and I can honestly say Si and Andy made our wedding day. I have already had friends from our wedding who work within the hospitality industry ask for their details as they are a well-rounded band and make any song memorable. We highly recommend and will be booking again for future events.

We searched through hundreds of acts before we found Andy. He was perfect, picking up the phone and speaking to Andy sealed the deal. He delivered so much more than we had already expected. Seamlessly playing with our DJ and Headline act, wowing all of our attendees with his super skill on the congas and bringing some of the most positive upbeat energy with him on and off the drums. We couldn’t be more happy with how amazing Andy was in the build up and on the event evening!

I couldn’t recommend Andy more highly. We booked Andy for our wedding, to accompany a DJ and play along with various genres of music. He just added a whole new level to the occasion which set the night off perfectly. Completely professional and accommodating from booking, through the wedding and even afterwards. A genuinely lovely guy, who always has a smile on his face and it is clear he loves his work. I would book him again in a heartbeat, for any occasion, and probably will in the future!

Simply wow!! We had Andy play at our house for my husbands birthday and he was amazing. It was a surprise for my husband and my gosh was he surprised. Andy really makes it look very easy but you soon realise how hard it is when he gave us a go :-). We will definitely be recommending Andy for future parties and events!! Thanks for making my husbands birthday one to remember!

Andy played for our wedding in September. He was so quick in replying and super helpful. He sorted everything out with my DJ so that saved me lots of time and worry. He was prompt on the day and all the guested loved him. So highly recommend and I would definitely use again.

I thought Andy did an excellent job from start to finish. Andy was incredibly professional. As soon as I sent a booking request email he was straight back to me with confirmations, fees and hours. Nothing was too much trouble including asking him to play a little bit longer because the guests were enjoying it so much! I will definitely be using Andy again and would recommend him without hesitation.

Andy played at our party and was simply amazing bringing such an energy and atmosphere it really made the evening. He took all of the pressure off us in terms of music and he was the centre piece for us to be able to dance the night away to some awesome party tunes. We also had two Spanish guitarist and Andy joined them it was simply unbelievable to hear and see how they played together never having met before it was the highlight of our evening. We just wish we could do it all again. Thanks so much for making our evening as spectacular and memorable as it was – we couldn’t have done this without Andy. Thanks again for everything!

Andy is just amazing! A pleasure to deal with before the event, during and after. Andrew was tasked with a difficult gig in that we are Asian and Asian music was played all night, Andy improvised and rocked it all night! We booked him for only 2 hours but because of how good he was, everyone asked him to stay and he did! A gentleman with a passion for what he does, you won’t go wrong with Andy.

DJ Sax and Bongos were absolutely incredible – they made our wedding evening! It was great to chat to them beforehand and run through the vibe we were looking for, which they nailed! Everyone has commented on how great the music was – they sure know how to get a party going. Would absolutely recommend without hesitation and we’re sat here almost looking for an excuse to host another party so we can book them again. Incredible!!

You are top-class professionals. From the beginning, you showed you genuinely cared about helping us have the best evening possible. You honoured who we are while also considering what would be best for the party and your playing style. On the evening itself, it was evident from the get-go that you love what you do, that you are great at it and that you love playing with each other. That positive energy spilled out into the room and onto the dance floor. Commercially, you were organised, transparent in your pricing and super-responsive. Thank you for helping us have the Wedding of our dreams.

Where to start with this amazing duo! They started with our first dance and the dance floor did not let up all evening. They were absolutely incredible! The set list was immaculate, wall to wall hits, and we never saw the dance floor even remotely empty. The guys were so energetic, their unique sound and presence made each hit feel like a new version of the song. They completely made our wedding day and were easily one of the most memorable / worthwhile additions we included. Absolutely and entirely recommend these guys.

I’ve had the pleasure of playing alongside Andy on numerous occasions throughout the UK and it’s always a pleasure. He is immensely talented, with a full range of kit & tricks up his sleeve. As a Soulful & Deep House DJ that loves to interact with live musicians it’s great to work with him & test his skills with impromptu live solos whilst I’m playing. He’s also a great guy as well!

Andy performed for us at our Mardis Gras event, and to say it was a success would be an understatement. From start to finish he was fantastic, he set up quickly and efficiently and was ready to perform straight away. The crowd absolutely loved his music as his bongos brought something completely different to our event. I would definitely use him again in the future.

I saw Andy at the Royal William Yard Festival in Plymouth in May. A fabulous sunset, great DJs but most importantly the live percussion, made the Sundowner Area spectacular. A MUST HAVE performer for any event!
