From the very beginning, their communication was clear, prompt, and professional. They took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and made the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day of the event, they arrived on time, were well-prepared, and played beautifully. Their music added a truly elegant and memorable touch to the occasion. Guests were full of compliments, and many asked about the musicians. Highly recommend Lydian string quartet to anyone looking for talented performers who are not only skilled but also a joy to work with. Thank you for making our day extra special! ” Read more

5 stars - Rabscallion are Highly Recommended
Jessica C booked Rabscallion for their wedding in Derbyshire • July 2025

“It's difficult to know where to begin to sum up how fantastic our experience was with Rabscallion, so before I start to waffle, if anybody is teetering on the edge of booking... do it! We'd actually seen Robin and the team in action before at another wedding, and we knew that when it was our turn, booking them for our own wedding would guarantee us an evening full of laughter and fun - and lo ...”“It's difficult to know where to begin to sum up how fantastic our experience was with Rabscallion, so before I start to waffle, if anybody is teetering on the edge of booking... do it! We'd actually seen Robin and the team in action before at another wedding, and we knew that when it was our turn, booking them for our own wedding would guarantee us an evening full of laughter and fun - and lo and behold, not only were our suspicions correct, but our expectations were far exceeded. Right from the start, Marc from Alive Network looked after us and was really responsive, and closer to the event, he put us in touch with Robin, who was on hand to answer any questions we had - communication is so crucial in the run up to a wedding, and we felt like we were in safe hands with the team. Our wedding party of just under 100 consisted of many people who had never ceilidh danced before, and about 40% non-native English speakers, so we wondered how it would pan out - 'left' and 'right' would be fine, but would anybody be able to accurately translate 'thread the needle'?! :) Luckily, as well as being brilliantly talented musicians and just generally lovely people, the group are also great teachers, so even with a slight language barrier, everyone was up and dancing, laughing, smiling and having the time of their lives - even those who neither of us have ever seen set foot on a dance floor before were choosing to join in! What more could you ask for for your wedding guests? Rabscallion - we are so, so grateful to you for giving us such a great experience. It was an absolute delight to have you there, and we couldn't have chosen better. Thank you so much. We'll be recommending you to anyone and everyone with any events coming up :) J & M” Read more

They were brilliant and a real pleasure to deal with.

5 stars - (Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin) Sinatra and Martin Live are Highly Recommended
Fiona H booked Sinatra And Martin Live for their party in Staffordshire • July 2025

“From the moment they took the stage, it was pure magic. These two incredibly talented performers captured the essence of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin so perfectly, it felt like we had stepped back in time. Their vocals were spot-on – smooth, charismatic, and full of that classic Rat Pack charm. Not only were they musically brilliant, but their chemistry, humour, and interaction with the audience...”“From the moment they took the stage, it was pure magic. These two incredibly talented performers captured the essence of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin so perfectly, it felt like we had stepped back in time. Their vocals were spot-on – smooth, charismatic, and full of that classic Rat Pack charm. Not only were they musically brilliant, but their chemistry, humour, and interaction with the audience made the entire evening unforgettable. They were warm, welcoming, and professional from start to finish – nothing was too much trouble. Guests were raving about them all night and long after the event ended. It was more than a performance – it was an experience, and one we’d recommend to anyone looking to bring a touch of timeless class to their event.” Read more

We had a 40th party in our garden on a summers evening and wanted live music to create the right atmosphere. Rose's music was amazing and really made our party memorable. All ages loved the range from jazz to more contemporary and Ibiza tracks. She was so professional from start to finish and it was a delight to have her at our party. She inspired our children and took it in her stride that they were attempting to accompany her for a couple of tracks! Thank you Rose for an amazing evening. We hope to see you again to enjoy more of your music!” Read more
